That phase is good, but complete removal is the best. Last few of my contracts have been for data centers with dedicated teams, and even the onsite dev data center I did have access to I never needed to enter thanks to VMware. Pretty much same thing at home, split between desktop powerhouse and basement servers. - HEX

I only use it with install images, the state before "factory sealed". Prepare with WAIK and install via FOG, plus use it for the extra PXE options. Last I heard from the company they were up to 30K machines deployed in many different flavors off the one image and FOG server I setup.

Although primarily aimed at doing Windows imaging, you can also use it for Linux only or side by side rollouts. That said, I'm going to be looking at some of the other links posted in this thread myself.
FOG is a Linux-based, free and open source computer imaging solution for Windows XP, Vista and 7 that ties together a few open-source tools with a php-based web interface. FOG doesn't use any boot disks, or CDs; everything is done via TFTP and PXE. Also with fog many drivers are built into the kernel, so you don't really need to worry about drivers (unless there isn't a linux kernel driver for it). FOG also supports putting an image that came from a computer with a 80GB partition onto a machine with a 40GB hard drive as long as the data is less than 40GB.
And I hate them both! I have tried to make use of the CVS pharmacy automated refill system, but from what I can tell the "automation" goes into a blackhole and requires manual intervention. The system the doctor pushes is to fill out a form on their website, but from what I can tell it just generates a phone call from them to the pharmacy... sometimes. For me it is a major hassle, especially since my drugs are not considered "maintenance" prescriptions and have limits on getting insurance to cover mutli-month supplies. - HEX
Thankfully most of the sluts are too wrapped up in wanting pr0n money for showing their goodies. Real models are harder to find but tend to have actual IQs, and we'll have some "nekkid vidz" up soon enough with some smart women who are into being involved in such a crazy project. Seriously although we want to incorporate sexuality and portray certain aspects of it, we aren't going for straight porn mostly because we have more to say. Thankfully I'm old enough to both be thick skinned (I was running Obv/2 BBSes on FidoNET when all we had was 80286 and 1200 and our trolling and flamewars lasted years, etc) and finally have the time to dedicate to the act of creation in many forms.

I've been sitting on the sidelines so long that I gave up and decided to do something about it. So I put my money where my thoughts and feelings lay and started an online collaborative site to start making smart shorts/series/movies in all genres. It could use some help of all kinds, especially getting some online workflows going and especially if you are local to SE MI. If you are interested visit hex.xxx and check it out, it is somewhat NSFW. HEX
I used the free JuiceDefender on my EVO 4G in order to wrangle my radios, especially the 4G which is useless in my area. I bought the latest version Ultimate and am fairly happy with it, especially the geo based wifi learning. However I don't use it to remove apps I'm not using, and don't even recall offhand if that's a feature. Just saying. - HEX
I wasn't going to post the update here as well as on WHT, but since I got an off topic mod I thought I'd make the point that my question is a better Ask Slashdot than the original question. I mean come on, share your hard drive as an art project? Sounds like someone has been toking all semester and needs a quick completed "work". I should know, sounds like something I would of tried back in the day.
Just an update on what some of my research has led me to, hopefully to help someone else or further discussion.
First off I have expanded my requirements, the main one is integration with Amazon S3 for http and torrent downloads. This side steps the issue of HostGator not allowing.torrent files and allows me to save bandwidth by using torrents as well as paying less for the http video transfers.
I've used Drupal before for hobby sites but wanted something more professional as my platform for both the client front end and the artist/contributor backend. I've also been experimenting with TikiWiki for sorting out my own writings and more, unfortunately it can't be used for the entirety of the new site but if I find a bridge I may use it instead of MediaWiki.
Joomla reminds me a lot of Drupal, and it appears it meets all my requirements, but like WordPress it appears to also need to be hooked in to MediaWiki to have a full wiki with version/history and discussion pages. At least since MediaWiki is used by both projects as their own site's wiki integration is very tight and does support single sign on. Still not convinced a wiki is the best collaborative environment but it'll have to work until something better comes along.
Joomla also appears to be a fairly heavy framework like Drupal, but still needs additional plugins to support my full requirements. I'm also concerned with too many boxes, plugins, gadgets, etc, cluttering up the site design. I'm putting further Joomla research and testing on the back burner for now.
Let me quickly mention Dolphin 7, which may be ahead of the curve when it comes to features based on what I've read. What scared me off from even trying it however is their apps/plugin marketplace. Plus most of the features are available in other CMS platforms I am more familiar with.
Wordpress has the advantage of being fairly lightweight as a base install, and I plan to get the front end up with only a few installs that are tightly integrated. BuddyPress looks like it will handle all the social interaction, and either s2member or MarketPress for subscriptions/sales. I've seen a few themes that integrate the WP-ecommerce plugin but have also read that its not the easiest thing to work with. Also I'm concerned that the payment processors they integrate with allow payments to a site that offers some adult content.
That's all for now, as always comments, etc are welcome!
Note: I posted this on WHT but wanted to fish for replies here.
Hi folks, I'm new to hosting with HostGator VPS but not so new to linux or hosting my own site, but I'm wanting to do something I've never done before, offer premium content! I would like to do this using as much of the infrastructure HostGator provides (application installs, subscription/CC integration, etc) as possible instead of trying to piece together a bunch of different products.
The main client site needs to be able to present articles, individual and galleries of videos (and pics), and some wiki articles embedded in the front end. The front end has to support different subscriptions or one time payments for membership levels. The back end needs to support wiki style collaboration on articles, fiction stories, storyboard drawings, and even videos if possible for an internet connected team of movie makers. The ability to stream live video is also on my wish list.
So far I am torn between WordPress and Joomla for the front end, as both seem like they can handle subscription/paid content, but I'm not sold on either. It also looks like if I want Single Sign On I'll have to use MediaWiki, even though I am not convinced it would be the best collaboration platform for movie making. Not sure what AcceptSafe integrates with but I'd sign up if its easiest to get working.
What are people using for distributing videos or large files? Since HostGator doesn't allow.torrent files, and due to the adult nature of the work I can't just tie into YouTube; I'll need an alternative.
Agree with this suggestion, there is nothing wrong with a "Walled Garden" as long as you make it known that it's there and that it can be removed "at your own risk". IIRC you get the notification from most major ISPs, usually buried in their TOS or AUP but some make it easy to find in their FAQ (usually under "running servers" or some such); but getting them to turn it off may be a lot harder. I actually prefer a walled garden for the less technically inclined, I heartily recommend OpenDNS (especially FamilyShield if appropriate) and other tech that enables automatic and fairly unobtrusive coddling of the technology consumer.
Of course any time I've ever had to interact directly with a mail server for a website (in public, not some of the shit I do for work) in the last 10 years or so has been on a hosted solution that provides access to their mail servers. Even with local LAMP/WAMP development you can usually get away with making sure your msgs are hitting the SMTP local server even if they aren't making it past the ISP. Anything more in depth with port 25 could be tested on the hosted server on a dev site.
This being said, it is a slippery slope when ISPs decide to restrict certain ports, especially if there is no recourse. Rambling over, ended up with more to say on the subject than I originally thought.:P
Also wrong, he had the deal in place with the American company parallel with the Greek contract, the Greek contract was never worldwide. There is a huge series of updates (on PESwiki I think) giving a blow by blow account of who said what, and one of the few points the Greek company confirmed officially was that Rossi was free to pursue American contracts. They never denied that Rossi broke off due to them not paying him money.
I use the free version of Stardock Fences, I used to be a big Start Menu user and extolled the virtues of it to others. I'm not ready to go to giant boxes in Win8, but Fences and the Win7 taskbar works 90%+ of the time for me. http://www.stardock.com/products/fences/
So a year or so ago my childhood friend started importing some very rare wood into the US, driving down to South America and picking up small batches directly from sustainable sources, and he specifically markets much of it as instrument wood. From his Facebook posts he has more problems with the "tolls" driving through all these countries than he does from importing the wood into the US legally. Anyone interested check out www.savagewoods.com and tell him I sent you.;)
I was told in the Sprint Store after I brought in my dead battery EVO, "your phone has a non-standard ROM installed which is fine, but we can't do any diagnostics on the software, we can only fix the hardware. If you need software support flash back to the Sprint ROM". They got enough of a charge in my battery that the EVO would charge it itself again, thankfully that issue has been fixed since it was a bit scary when it happened.
Bastardization of one of Raph's laws: Never trust the client or the middlemen, and look askance at your own servers. As important as items are in the Diablo world, this is the way to go.
While I personally use that program, at least on my EVO (Synergy GodMode ROM) once it starts seeing 20+ APs it tends to bog down so much it's about useless, even in simple "list" mode.
