Or they get decommed and Cloud@Cost wins. Either way, the company saves money, and C@C makes out well.

@scottalanmiller She's practicing the "any press is good press" mantra, but she's #FAIL

In her defense, I think most people thought that she had died of an overdose by now and had forgotten her. So having another train wreck really does create the only career that she has left. Too bad as once upon a time she was a great actress and gorgeous. Now... holy hell.

I try not to follow what happens to her, preferring to remember her in the days of the Amanda Show and All That!

Never watch or heard of these shows.

Then you obviously weren't a 90s baby. These were the shows of my childhood, back when TV was still good, and there was decent stuff to watch on the key kids channels: Cartoon Network, Nick, and Disney.

Besides, look at it this way. Someone purchases lifetime servers at certain specs for Windows servers. 5 years from now, those specs are no longer adequate. Now they have to buy new lifetime licenses. The old servers get turned into Linux servers or dev servers. Everyone wins.

@ajstringham It's getting hard to remember her as a functional human.

Yeah, sadly.

My guess is that the company is banking on volume versus duration. They are counting on lots of the lower level plans, or even the higher-level ones. It's like how grocery stores make money. They lose money on basically anything on sale, but they figure that if the cost is right, people will just keep coming back.

For these guys, if a company's options are thousands to host their own internal network or use a VPN solution, like Pertino, as an example, (assuming a reasonably small business here) with their cloud servers they pay one-time for and then use for life, they can make up what they lose in recurring monthly costs in volume of servers people purchase for life.

I see this as a very viable marketing strategy, albeit a very different way of thinking compared to the norm. I like it personally. It's risky but I like it.

At work now. Happy Monday all!

@thanksaj How long ago did you experience that?

It was on the 16th.

Talking to Trevor Potts and his group on their faux IRC group Skype chat. I've been included into their group.

Noticed this when I transferred my Wordpress site files from my laptop, running 8.1 Pro, over Pertino to a AWS server running Ubuntu 14.04.

I have had seriously slow transfers from Windows to Linux over Pertino, even with a solid pipe and connection. I also notice that if your files are small, but you have a large number of them, say thousands, it can go slow as well.

In other news, who is Amanda Bynes?

Seriously?!

So I tried setting up SSH trust between my locally-hosted SSH servers and the AWS server currently hosting my website. In that process, something got borked. Amazon uses public and private keys for additional levels of security and to ssh, you must have the public key. The issue is that now the public key is not being recognized, so I've totally lost SSH access to my server, which being it's Ubuntu Server, that means I've totally lost access. I'm also under the Basic plan for AWS, which doesn't include technical support. Is my only option to rebuild at this point? I can do it but it's a pain...

Thanks,
A.J.

Ok then...

Common issue if you're hosting the site yourself. Create a DNS rule that points either of those internally to the IP of the server. Also, as others have said, flush your cache. Then re-register the DNS.

The minimum and recommended specs for Dragon Age: Inquisition have been released.

My laptop will be able to run it on a high resolution, albeit probably not quite max. Maybe. We'll have to see.

That sounds nice. I'm used to no supplies, no autosave, and shit comes out of nowhere

I actually prefer games that don't autosave. I don't mind a feature that allows the player to save whenever they want. Eliminating autosave makes you think more about the consequences of your actions.

Yes, but also results in heavy amounts of frustration in case you forget to save.

that's life

Have you tried Heorin Hero?

Ummm....no

I want to try this so bad!
