Yes, I think that's the biggest problem in this thread is that it's impossible to compare figures. You've got group A in a high cost of living atmosphere shouting how the pay sucks and group B in a low cost of living environment saying how can you guys not be making bank?
I'm genuinely interested in your pizza recipe. My wife, 5 year old son and I have begun to make pizza at home and I'm sure we'd all love some tips from a professional. Thank you =)
DST was originally introduced to change working hours more in line with daylight hours to reduce the amount of energy resources consumed.
With the current price of fuel, I'm 100% for the proposed change.
You've got to be kidding me.. How much did this cost us?
Re:Wow! think of all them IP addresses.

IPv6 can provide approximately 3.4 * 10^38 addresses or 340,282,366,920,938,463,374,607,432,768,211,456 addresses to be exact. That's ~5*10^28 for each of us.
I knew all that time studying my CCNP books would pay off!
The 5% guarantee is for negotiating a price before you sign a contract. Typically we sign 1 year contracts for colocation. While this does protect us, IMO, it protects the customer far more. If you're on a month-to-month colo contract, your colo provider can raise your rates knowing that in addition to the downtime, it will be lots of work for you to move all of your equipment to another provider.
By signing a medium-term contract, both parties are in a better position and have guaranteed rates.
If you're running a legitimate forwarding service, we will definately not shut you down. If you're running a legitimate forwarding service and your customers are abusing that service (i.e., sending spam), we expect you to handle the situation. However, if you allow your customers to spam others, yes, we will shut them down.
It's kinda like someone colocating an open relay mail server. We'll let them know they need to fix the problem but if they never do, we will.
Basically, we do not allow spamming from our network. Other than that, unless the law comes knocking on our door and there's nothing we can do about it, we won't care.
This poster obviously doesn't know anything about us.
Our $87 per Mb rate is multihomed burstable bandwidth with a 99.99% guaranteed uptime. Currently, this includes 250 Mb of Level 3, along with Epik, and Cogent. Verio and Global Crossing will be included within 30 days.
Yes, Cogent is mixed into our blended bandwidth plan. No, we won't charge you more for you to use the other carriers.
If you want non-cogent bandwidth, we can offer you pure Level 3 bandwidth with 100% SLA for $250 per Mb. I challenge you to find a better deal on Level 3 bandwidth anywhere.
Rackshack
Rackshack offers 400 GB for $100. This is $0.25 per GB with each additional GB costing $1.50. That's $600 for that second 400 GB.
Tier Networking
We offer 316 GB for $87. This is $0.27 per GB with each additional 316 GB costing the same $87. However, since we'll beat any one else's price by 5%, We'll offer their same 400 GB for $95 which is $0.23 per GB.
Summary
So basically, if you need much bandwidth at all, we're by far cheaper but if you only need a little bandwidth, we'll beat anyone else's price by 5%.
In Hopper's lab there was a rule that anyone could buy anything on his own authority so long as it cost less than £1,000. If you wanted something more expensive, you had to get another signature, but that was usually a breeze.
It was known colloquially as the 'toys budget' and it was, no doubt, sometimes used for frivolous purchases. But in the main it was not. And it meant that the lab's researchers always had the latest gizmos - and the freedom to take them apart and see how they worked.
My first thoughts were how on earth could management implement and afford a policy like this. But in the end, I thought true innovation requires liberal policies such as these.
The dotCOM era was full of excess, perhaps too much so, but this is proof that there are still companies out there striving to be the best.
I like that idea in principle, but it would give subscribers a fp style advantage for posts, sort of like paying for Karma (assuming you allowed them to post in this 10 min).
I agree that this would let us subscribers dominate the discussions. However, the die hard "we hate banners" slashdot users are probably the ones who are putting up mirrors for the poor sites who get slashdotted.
IMO, this would allow them to be even more useful to the Slashdot community. Maybe we could implement double negative moderation for all posts during the first X number of minutes to keep trolls with a subscription from abusing the system. Basically, if a post was posted during the X minute window was moderating negatively, it would be a -2 instead of a -1.
I'm a slashdot advertiser as well as a subscriber. I've selected "No Ads" for Homepage, Stories, as well as Comments but I'm still seeing ads in all "Post Comment" pages as well as everything under users.pl.
The goal of the project is to visit each of the latitude and longitude integer degree intersections in the world, and to take pictures at each location. The pictures and and the stories behind the pictures are then be posted for all to enjoy.
No one would use such a thing because no one could afford one.
He doesn't have to make a profit on it! I heard the other day that the dot com revolution was starting all over again.:-)
My eyes feel like crap after staring at a computer screen for 14 hours a day.
If you've looked into a braille solution, I'm sure you've looked into other ideas too, but for the benefit of the slashdot audience, I would like to remind everyone to look out their window or focus on the most distant object in the office they can see *every* 15 minutes or so.

Why go for a wired network in the plane at all?
Because wireless networks can have spurious emissions that their wired counterparts do not have to contend with. Unfortunately, I'm guessing the FAA will never allow wireless radio transmissions in an aircraft.

We are not just another Cogentco outfit.
I forgot to mention that they also charge for IP addresses. I'm not sure what all fees they have, but we only have 2 fees: rackspace and bandwidth.
Rackshack offers 400 GB for $100. This is $0.25 per GB with each additional GB costing $1.50. That's $600 for that second 400 GB.

Our ultra-high bandwidth hosting plans.
$20 - 20 GB transfer, 500 MB disk, 100 emails.
$50 - 50 GB transfer, 2000 MB disk, 500 emails.
From 1 Mb to 1000 Mb, if you find a lower price, we'll beat it by 5%. It's that simple.
