It’s not necessary for DreamHost to have a blog – I’m sure their servers would go on working just fine even if they didn’t write a single humorous post about things such as why they’re having trouble buying a new storage solution or why iTunes Music Store sucks. They even posted about a silly mistake the CEO of their favorite competitor made in an interview in a magazine. [...] [...] They have a blog, also written in a human voice.

But the real story is [quote] ” failed to scale well with all the n00bs(s*ck_rz) ” end[/quote]

It seems like we have wicked servers/bandwidth/diskspace/ maybe even CPU and backups but I betcha key people aren’t around any more / or hell maybe the key people just hack their way through it :) (like I would)

Take the latest status update -gee whiz somehow 65000 ports were concurrently getting used so we stuck another box inbetween until all those get used concurrently then we’ll put a mega-punisher-enforcer-deathwwashy-slippy-snappy-concrappy something or another ./

CI Host offers nearly 3x the diskspace and 2x the RAM that Dreamhost does for the same price ($99). Dreamhost, pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeease start offering dedicated hosting plans again, and not the affliate program with hosting.com. And at the very least, let those dedicated servers have competitive specs that at least equal that of CI Host. Rick @Greg,

But he didn't really answer the actual question. The question was about cellphones, but UMPCs don't actually have cellphones built in. And neither do those Nokia tablets mentioned in brackets. i thought maybe he was being metaphorical, and editing made it unclear that he was being metaphorical, i.e., maybe he meant, “it’s as if it has a built-in PSP,” meaning you can play games on it.

Perhaps the dictationist mis-transcribed USP, someone changed it to PSP, then the editor put in Sony PSP.. I thought this was a far-fetched idea until I realized that AmericanWay is the American Airlines travel magazine... computing acronyms are probably not their strong point. Plus, Chris seems like thet kind of guy to put an edge on his Bs. Ah yes, it all falls together now.
