Well, so far we're using ours for losing money :bawling: but hopefully that will change soon.

LOL, same here its nice to have such a beast out there, the $150 per month is negligible :)

Its so nice to be able to rip a file from a site as fast as the hard disk can write it :-)

Gaming servers..

I noticed quite a few people hosting some awesome QUAKE3 servers on our dedicated servers...
I'm just wondering how these people make money since there isn't a webpage on there to put ads :)

Heh, it's not always about the money. These are probably dedicated Quake 3 fans that really love to play. So much so they'll pay maybe a good $200/month to do so. :D

I'd do it, if I played Quake 3 that much.

A dedicated server for what would only require about 10MB of storage seems like overkill :D

So's the RAID 5 array that he's got on there...

i didn't say every good song from the 80's (there's an oxymoron in there somewhere)...I said every 'hit' song...there were an amazing amount of hit songs from that decade-probably because most of them were only hits for about 5 minutes...
:puke:

He's got enough saccharine pop music on there so that he set up a playlist that runs for 24 straight hours-without a single repeat.

Pac-Man fever is his favorite, go figure... :nuts:

Phew. I thought I was the only one who used "hey baby, wanna check out my dedicated server?" as a pickup line.
