About a year ago, when I was making plans to rent a vps for my personal sites and projects, Slicehost and Linode were the only real contenders. Slicehost had backups at the time, Linode didn't, but Linode had a slightly better offer overall

upvote for linode, I'm using them for my personal server for over a year and I'm very satisfied. They have an API for which you have documentation, stackscripts and other goodies, try it out. You can go with slicehost as well, although I ha

Did anyone read cost-effective manpower as cheap? :( I'm from Serbia, and still living here. The local market is small and extremely undeveloped. Telecommunication infrastructure is sub-standard, no non-ISP/corporate data centers and no mul

I feel your pain. I live in south-eastern Europe, and it is pretty much the same system here as in Italy, with an exception of that is isn't working as advertised :).

I'm from Europe too. There are some specifics, but you can look at Wikipedia and find calculators online that explain what is deducted from gross income. You have social security, medicare, state and federal income tax. You should take into

I think the best part of this HIB is the linux port and the opensourced project they are hoping to build community around.

I don't have much real world experience with card processing, but the last time I looked, RBS worldpay offered a nice subscription models. I was planing to delve into that, but the project I was involved in fell apart, and there was no need

While not being a programmer, I did work as a sysadmin for a hosting company. Since I quit around 2 years ago, I was asked by my ex-colleagues on several occasions would I consider returning there. Now, these questions were raised by my cow

hehe, same here. I actually managed to answer a phone call from a colleague trying to wake me up, tell him that i'm on a bus heading there and go back to sleep. Fast forward a couple of hours, I woke up not remembering that at all. He was m

Would you mind sharing what books you've been reading ?

uhm, it doesn't matter how pragmatic I try to be in regard to my decisions regarding tech. equipment I use, I tend to avoid those kinds of compromises.

he he, this is how my dislike for all things apple began ;) I had to write to their support in order to get an iTunes account for my iPod Touch. I got it working in the end, after several emails, but it left a bitter taste in my mouth. When

heh, I do actually, maybe I should have phrased it better ;). My point was, Sun was trying to be a hip and modern company, open sourcing a lot of their work, and then Oracle bought them and in the best impersonation of Eric Cartman, just sa

It is in my opinion, far too complicated for a book in fiction genre. I remember I enjoyed the references, and information I got out of it, but to be honest, it felt like a task, and not something I enjoyed the reading it self. Some people

When I started in IT field (support/sysadmin), I was advised that I should hold my positions for 2-5 years, and avoid job-hopping, cause it looks bad on the resume. Fast forward 6 years, I quit my job, why? I started in tech support. I've w

Huh. I guess that after recent changes (Solaris downloads, etc.), most people will find alternative vendors in both hardware and software arena. It's not like there's no competition anyways. It is funny though, that a company like Sun, afte

I've been wanting to try out BSD *nix for some time... Community seems nice, I've spoken with admins regarding some registration issues and everything was sorted out immediately. I'll probably pay for the background processes even if I don'

Good for you. I deleted mine a little more than a year and a half ago, when rumors started appearing they would change their ToS and privacy policies in a way that would make me uncomfortable using the service. I've tried to explain to frie
