All in the name of preventing people from loading an OS on their computer that they actually WANT to use, lol... Even if they don't want the computers form this manufacturer, ha ha.
I fully await the future where this applies to other things, i.e., your Ford engine explodes because you put in Shell gasoline and not Ford-approved BP fuel.
Unlike your truck, may your flame of luck never extinguish.

When I looked at colo it included 100/100 in the price, no idea if it was redundant or not.
This is Tier IV here. Everything redundant. This is top end. You can't buy better. Redundant generators, UPS, HVAC, tight security, loads of independent networking gear and providers.
How much bandwidth do you get with your 1/4 rack?
By default, 25Mb/s unmetered. Their website says 25MB/s but I'm pretty sure that that is a typo.

That's default, you can always negotiate for other packages.
An extra 1TB of bandwidth is only $20, too.
Who in their right mind is out there still using 3rd party app stores or side-loading? It's almost like they want to be hacked.

How much is your cloud solution that included backups? What are the backup windows and recovery times?

Crazy, stupid redundant. We gotta be, especially in LA.

So I assume that this guy still uses a paper filing system, a full filing cabinet, communicates ONLY via letter or telephone, has never bought anything online, and still drives a covered wagon...
It occurs to me that none of those things are actually secure at all.
I don't think they care about "security", as much as they care about "making it harder to figure out the terrible stuff we're doing."
A lot of people are playing "Nurse the Hangover" at MangoCon today.

Eh? 25 Mb/s unmetered would mean 64,800,000 Mb (or 8,100,000 MB) in a 30 day month. That's around 8 TB/month - unless unmetered means something else
I sincerely apologize for the misinformation, we need to change our cart--the 1TB add-on is for our dedicated server options. 
We don't monitor the transfer amount for colo, but you're capped at 25 Mb/s. We charge at the 95th percentile, but most of our clients will never reach it. But we can increase that transfer rate for a very small fee.

@Minion-Queen Also, please don't attack vendors.
Plus, I was the 12-13 year old Ohio Valley Karate Grand Champion. I WILL FIGHT BACK.
With big-ass not-jenga blocks!!!
My sensei taught me to use any weapons available to me to defend myself, even if that is Legally-Not-Allowed-to-Call-It-"Jenga" wooden blocks.
My dad taught me to distract people then hit them upside the head with a 2x4. It's highly effective.
I'm immune to distractions.
And poison ivy.

@DustinB3403 It was good - just long. The dude that played Cameron on Ferris Bueller's Day Off (Alan Ruck) was on our flight
Did you ask for a picture?
Is that even a thing for people from California?
Ehh, depends on the scenario. It looked like he was trying to lay low, so I wasn't gonna bother him. You end up seeing a lot of celebs doing random things in LA--I was recalling to @pchiodo about how I stood behind Neve Campbell in line at a coffee shop and got really mad at her for taking so. goddamn. long.
What if I actually look surprisingly like a round South Park character?
@JaredBusch Depends on available space in our NY/NJ DC's. All others are half-rack minimum.
@DustinB3403 said in What Are You Doing Right Now:
At some point you just call them out for it right? Like "Hurry the [moderated] up, it's coffee, not a new nose!"
If People Magazine wants to constantly push the "Celebs--they're just like us!" image, you better believe they're getting the "Hurry up asshole!" treatment too.

What do you yell when the not-"Jenga" tumbles?
"THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!"
@JaredBusch Understandable. You're right though, a lot of providers don't offer those lower-U solutions. I wish we were able to offer that in our non-LA facilities.

Checking email after lunch, saw this. @JaredBusch debunked that "Only $180/month" deal at MangoCon!
But they only service podunk-ass, backwoods areas.
Gee thanks. Not that I'm not planning on moving sometime next year
Where are you? A quick glance showed me a bunch of small towns in AL, GA, SC, and TN.

I sometimes forget that Ohio has lots of ... um... rural areas.
And PA.
Philly .... 5 hours of rural ... Pittsburgh.
Ahhh, Pennsyl-tucky.

What is a coly?
He's our mascot. He looks like this: 
Go find him! Win a shirt!
9 Coly's left!
I'm sure any old trattoria will have some, especially in Italy. Ubiquiti and clam sauce is one of my favorite dishes.
I'll see myself out.

Ah, I missed that. I'll have gifts for visitors, but I won't be able to send them outside of Colorado
You'll have to get @pchiodo's tips for, uhhh...transporting.
