Quote of the century.

Nice finds, but some disturbing comments on those videos. Thanks.

I would love to hear some of that material. My Gmail username is the same as my /. username if you wouldn't mind.

Thanks!

Technically one could run a webserver on a spot instance, but the availability of said server will be inversely proportional to datacenter load instead of proportional to website demand. Do you not see why that is a bad idea?

You are correct that what you propose is easy and well documented. However, that is not what the OP needs.

The OP needs lower-priced spot instances, which are intermittently available and designed exactly for this workflow. When the entire AWS datacenter has some spare capacity, these spot instances turn on for those who requested them to run (usually to crunch data that is not time-sensitive). The use and configuration of these instances is not so well documented, probably because you cannot run a webserver on them and that seems to be the focus of much AWS documentation. However, it is exactly these 'spot instances' which are in my opinion the genius of the cloud: they let the heavy, non-time-critical work (i.e. scientific computing) be done when the webservers and mailservers aren't so busy, thus flattening out the daily CPU demand curve.

The OP should start here:

Got me to read the fine article. Oh, and pics :)

Then change banks, and tell them why.

I called Bank Leumi monthly for years about Firefox-on-Linux compatibility and they always told me that "it is in the works". I finally left the bank for another bank (Poalim) after sitting with the new bank's manager in his office with my Fedora laptop (~2009) checking that their site works on my system. When it did, I changed banks and wrote letters about why to both banks' presidents.

I resemble that comment.

If you need MonoDevelop then you are ostensibly a developer. As a developer, can you not build and install it yourself?

How are you connecting the hard drives? USB?

Thank you! I'm actually learning Asterisk for work and I do have a Raspberry Pi. Your post is very helpful.

Mods!

You are right and it presents an interesting problem! I would love to hear a solution, other than downloading the entire database to every device.

Thanks. It doesn't seem to play the SIT tones:

Can you make some suggestions? What are the names of the apps that you use?

Thanks.
