Polls might suggest it moves you further away. ;)

You should probably read this:- http://aphyr.com/posts/284-call-me-maybe-mongodb vs http://aphyr.com/posts/282-call-me-maybe-postgres If your data is worth anything, figuring out how to get postgres to scale (which is a problem further into the future than you think) will be easier...

This is some pretty solid advice. Beyond the above, make sure you backup and monitoring is as good as it needs to be. If you want to be clever about it, build your vm with something like vagrant.

Naw being "too busy" is a disease. He'll either just accept more work or still think he's too busy despite the fact he'll spend all day on reddit posting cat pictures. :P

I just wing it.

Actually there'll quickly be a ton of bots attempting nefarious deeds on his server, based on the fact they'll port scan on everything on the subnets used for popular hosting companies on a fairly regular basis and then concentrate on anything that actually responds. Rather than going for...

It's illegal so the guy is totally stupid and the police would be interested but I wouldn't report him. Almost everyone has downloaded media or recorded from the radio at sone part of your life, so you're a hypocrite if you have and you report him. However it is actually immoral if you ask me...

He might have been, it's incredibly difficult to infer tone from writing and generally requires a talented writer to do it well, which a 19 year old rarely is. I imagine it could have been him lashing out in a crude way to get the other kid to lay off him but even though it usually isn't...

It wasn't me you were referring to in the first place, I was just interjecting with a personal example to show theres often more to someones lack of inability to recognise the difference between Words and Word's doesn't entirely reflect on them as much as we all seem to think. Oh and being...

I don't know any thin or hot Clairs but to be fair, thin and hot tends to be a minority in woman I actually know. I think I need to move. :p

Really, even most woman looking for the same thing will be instantly repelled if you say that regardless of whether it's online or not.

Interestingly I was never taught such a thing in school. People might think I'm talking BS but honestly, it's true, though I doubt I had typical schooling. I went to 5 primary schools. In the first couple of years my teachers would send me back to my previous teacher to show how well I was...

I guarantee you at least one person will laugh at that. Alas I'm not going to continue a 1on1 conversation with you, so toodles, but just in case you're confused it was obviously a joke and thus proving it's the context that matters not (only) the target.

I see the difference I'm just not anal retentive enough to think it actually matters. Either it's a joke or it isn't. This is like me arguing that a galaxy bar and a dairly milk are both chocolate and you retorting with oh but I can't believe you can't see how they're different. :confused...

Glad to hear that.

Threatening so shoot up a nursary is specific enough to raise eyebrows without the need to point out which. Tweeting an airport you're going to blow them up if they don't fix the weather before you flight is akin to telling your mate dave you'll end him if he eats your last rolo. You honestly...

The airport one was clearly a joke and anyone with a decent head on their shoulders is able to recognise that because it's a completely ridiculous statement poking fun at our current culture of irrational fear around airport threats. Obviously nobody would have expected to get convicted for...

Buy a second hand laptop on gumtree, go about the country using free wifi and post whatever the **** you want. Anonymity isn't a terrible hard problem yet but rest assured if we don't push back the governments will have their way and you won't be able to get on the network without a monetary...

It sorta makes sense from a really idiotic point of view. However I suspect he should probably know better and refusing to accept reality shouldn't preclude you from deserved punishment. However before we start throwing our stones, we should first ask why is before the age of consent...
