Re:Why one Egyptian ISP is still online on Monday January 31, 2011 @01:16AM (#2160513)
Can somebody explain this pricelist to me:

www.nooradsl.com/pricing.htm

What does "L.E" mean? Is it Egyptian Pounds?

And what is the speed? 512Mb cannot be 512 mega bit per second, right?

Not a single one makes use of the full width of the screen. All static layout. My websites all make use of the full screen width. I still think dynamic layout is better for usability. What do you think?

I will take part in this when the solutions are displayed. All the fun is in the solutions. So for me, hiding them kills the whole point of the project. Otherwise it would be lots of fun. Im a long time vim user and love it.

And shareholders accept it, when their property gets thrown into the garbage can for this reason?

Why do big companies shut down websites instead of selling them?
"25% chance of nothing, and 75% chance of, say, a 3x exit. I dunno, that seems crazy risky to me"

If these are the odds, the expected outcome would be that you more then double your money. 25%0+75%3=2.25

Re:Ask HN: Do you use Managed Servers? on Saturday November 13, 2010 @03:30AM (#1900574)
With managed servers I meant: Keep the LAMP stack up, running and secure. No App development. From my point of view it makes sense that a managed server provider does not give out root access. So theres no discussion whos responsible for what.

What kind of bugs did you encounter?

Ask HN: Do you use Managed Servers?

Im wondering: Do you use manages servers for hosting your applications? I do so and would like to discuss the pros and cons of various providers. But I have the feeling most of you here on HN use servers where you have root access.To me, it seems very logical to use managed servers. Because it abstracts away some more parts of the whole stack. What do you think?
