Definitely. Never trust someone else with your data. I lost a VPS whose host was presumably RAID'ed and backed up. Never got my VPS or data back from them, but I only lost a few hours of data since I backed it up myself daily. After 5 days of dumb excuses I opened an account with another provider, reconfigured my name servers and got everything going again.

I didn't have to wait 5 days; it's just that my sites weren't revenue generating.

Comment Re:Clock set wrong, whole Zune OS dies. Nice work. (Score 1) 785

Maybe I'm trying too hard to read between the lines, but:

If you’re a Zune Pass subscriber, you may need to sync your device with your PC to refresh the rights to the subscription content you have downloaded to your device.

(emphasis mine) ...Sounds to me suspiciously like the DRM component crashed the whole Zune, just like other commenters are suggesting.

Comment For the lazy... Re:Spoiler (Score 1) 198

The coolest are:

1 and 2: OpenOffice
3: Firefox
4: OSS Twitter clone that surely will surpass Twitter because Twitter is popular. (?)
5, 6, 7, 8, 9: Linux. (More specifically, Fedora, Ubuntu, Suse, Suse, Ubuntu)
10: Whatever Google released recently. What, it's hardware? Meh, leave it on the list, anyway.

More in depth? Heck they couldn't even bother themselves to add a link to the products. If they're that lazy a link to Distrowatch would've covered over half the entries.

I was going to say this is the first site I've seen that has more ad and navigation space than article space, but no, I've seen that before.
