I received a suspension this morning for high system resources, 3rd time. The last time I had issues with this was a mod to SMF causing it. If unsuspended, I would like to examine my error logs in SMF and other factors to attempt to locate the issue. I am not doing anything malicious to...

Thanks. I think I found the culprit.

Tonight, I received the following notice for a suspension: The only thing I have been actively running on my hosting account is an SMF forum (v2.0 RC2). Is there anything in particular that may have caused high resource usage with this? I am concerned as I've now gotten the suspension notice...

Why do the Japanese get all the good %$#&? :(

It's certainly easy enough to do, and I don't see any reason why you wouldn't be allowed to, unless said files violated some kind of law or x10's ToS

Having a machine with 8 GB of RAM, I tend to favor virtualization. It gives me far more flexibility to do what I want with things, without interfering much with hardware. I swear the fact that I get the latest version of VMWare Workstation free (and legally) has nothing to do with my...

Mac OSX users aren't immune to viruses. They're just more naive about them. But back on topic, I believe said sites are making a mistake by requiring texting for their users to be able to validate their humanity, as they do exclude a lot of people in the process.

I will be the first to admit that I hate pretty much all social networking sites, if not for the way they are designed or some other technical aspect, then for the people who tend to make said sites the mainstay of their lives and social basis. Does anyone else here remember when we actually...

I am personally an equal opportunity hater of all social networking sites short of LinkedIn for professional use, so I passed on voting here. I find myspace and facebook to be categorically useless.

Pretty much this. Spam is great in spam areas, but outside of there, duplicate topics tend to get old really quick, and don't typically generate that much for people anyways.

GP was trespassing on French military property. What the deuce did they think would happen. They're just fortunate that the French have a sense of humor and didn't shoot them.

I would love to see lotus fixed soooo badly right now. My account has been nearly unusable for several days, and if it keeps up, I may look elsewhere for hosting.

You're close. Generally the deals are negotiated with groups of colleges and other educational institutions.

Free is far from 99.9%, especially lately. Thankfully the downtime moments tend to be more just spotty occurrances, rather than large blocks of downtime.

I play two browser-based games right now: Cyber Nations (www.cybernations.net) is a nation/political simulator with about 27,000 players, in which I lead a small alliance called EPIC (Embattled Primarchy of Independent Citizens). It's a nice game with great, active community. The Fall...

Both of the arcades in my town shut down a few years ago, as did the sole cybercafe. Since I see this happening quite often in other areas, I would say that yes, arcades and their ilk are slowly dying off. The big question becomes 'why?' I believe that there are several reasons: 1. The bad...

The thing about the swine flu vaccine is that it is just as overblown as the disease itself. 1. The Swine Flu vaccine is made using the same proven methods that we've been using for decades to create flu (and other) vaccines. 2. One of the flu strains used to produce the normal seasonal flu...

My 8.5 year old desktop is an AMD Athlon 2400 (2.0 GHz singlecore) My laptop is a AMD Turion X2 at 2.2 GHz dual core

After a year or two, most laptop batteries start to get pretty soft, so that seems relatively normal. About the only advice I can give you is to go online and look at how much a new battery will cost. You may want to consider picking up two, as Dell laptops have a horrible record on batteries...

and this is my random contribution :awesome:
