Damn. I hope someone can give this dude a second chance.
>> What baffles me is how intelligent people want to live in a society where everybody carries weapons.

One reasoning for that (at least in the US) is that we'd rather have everybody carrying a weapon instead of just the criminals.

Re:Amazon, in Threat to UPS, Tries Its Own Deliveries on Thursday April 24, 2014 @04:03PM (#7642633)
If they did this, I would want them to branch out Amazon Payments to be a PayPal competitor. I would switch in a heartbeat. PayPal has incredibly high fees and unfortunately, is a necessary evil for me. I'm uncomfortable leaving any amount of money sitting with them.
Maybe I am missing something, but I'm not sure if I can PM or not -- hoping you see this, if so you can contact me via email at my username at gmail dot com. Would be really cool to run a copy of this in-house.
Re:Most of the Amazon SES IP blacklisted by SpamCannibal on Monday April 21, 2014 @12:28PM (#7621884)
Tanga does this. It's very easy to unsubscribe, but that's beside the point. I bought one thing from there and started getting "daily deal" mails, very annoying. I try the unsubscribe, but then if mail is still flowing, I will mark as spam, but I am very conservative with that Spam button. I manage mail for a large ISP and too know the horrors of customers complaining that our IP space is blacklisted.
This looks like it would serve the needs of my small team pretty well. We really just need a list of everyone on our team and what tasks they have assigned to them, not really any due date management needed. Please consider open sourcing it to run in our Intranet or something similar! We would use TaskShot!

$49 is a bit much for me to spend with a personal project, my sweet spot would be $19, MAYBE $29.

iOS only? Sorry. Fail.
Re:FreeBSD 10.0 is here on Sunday January 19, 2014 @06:10PM (#7086499)
I'm going to guess not as it is marked as being compatible with amd64, you will need an ARM build (arm 6, I believe) for the Raspberry Pi. I'm sure a third party will eventually post a pre-compiled version somewhere fairly soon.
Re:FreeBSD 10.0 is here on Sunday January 19, 2014 @01:02PM (#7085205)
This release has official Raspberry Pi support! Definitely trying this out.

Thanks! This is really helpful, I'm seeding all from a 1Gbps pipe in the US. I'll be trying out the new release later today!

Re:Winamp shutting down on December 20th, 2013 on Wednesday November 20, 2013 @05:38PM (#6771718)
I wanted a free TonidoPlug but no one read my mind and sent it to me for free, so they're just awful.
Re:XenServer open sourced on Wednesday June 26, 2013 @07:11AM (#5945304)
This is pretty big news. I've known some small businesses that have had a need to virtualize, but didn't want to get into everything KVM/OpenVZ, etc entailed. The VMware Essentials bundle (I believe that is what it is called) made decent inroads in this arena, but with everything all the enterprise features being free, I will probably have to start recommending this.

I have been looking into breaking in to a specialized segment of lower-end hosting (VPS, etc) and was looking to base my platform on VMware (rather than OpenVZ/KVM which seems to be the norm) but I am going to take a serious look at this now.

I'm excited to try building the platform around XenServer, and excited to contribute to the project as well -- I hope we see a lot of contributions now that this is open-source. I would love to see a Linux or OS X version of the management client, which is wholly possible now.

I'm installing a test instance of 6.2 now (within ESXi, ironically) to play around with it!

I hope that The Troll learned something from this experience. It is truly interesting to me what kind of mental processes drive this kind of behavior.
