Beautiful remote-management design, server-farm recovery support and failover provisions after millions of dollars have come in.

The walk-on-eggshells, totalitarian environment seems to be doing just fine though, last I checked. Everybody's in line and George Bush Jr. has gone from being the subject deity of daily picture-licking slobberfests to being doubleplusungood.

All he is doing is alerting everybody for the next snooker-a-thon. I think it starts in a couple of weeks.

Inexcusable.

Millions of dollars stuffed into their PO Box, some of it supposedly to buy "new hardware/software/servers." Yet no one asks the obvious: "Jim, John, why are you still clinging to that Packard-Bell dinosaur and Windows 98?" Where is that new server you promised 15 years ago?

There are LESS people posting there than 15 years ago. They still eat their own. They've eaten their best. Nothing ever changes, expect that now it appears Dubya Bush is finally a persona non grata. 10 years too late and now that all the damage has been done.

As one would expect, constructive criticism of Donald Trump on any subject is verboten by JR and his cat-lady mods from Nursing Home Central. It is and will always be an Echo Chamber. Those who have questions will immediately be suspected and regarded as "Disruptors" = "Trolls/N00bs."

Applicable -- whether in the year 2000, 2005, 2009, and in 2016:

It's dead, Jim

Hardware failure requiring a trip to San Jose to sort out (eta 5PM PST.) The site may be down for most of the evening, if not the weekend, depending on the severity of the failure and the degree of Kung Fu necessary to bring us back online. We'll continue to update with progress reports, with the next likely within an hour of getting hands-on with the smoldering device. Next update 6-7PM PST.

Thank you for your patience.

Yup. Another convenient outage that prompts the sheep to dig deeper.

An excellent point; I'd forgotten about the 'coincidental' crashes right before the grifting kicks off each quarter.

They're having a tough time keeping it under two out of every three months now, and are demanding $88,000 each quarter for their rickety, steam-powered, Big Brother piece of shit. For that kind of money they could have a technician delivered to the server with all-new hardware by limousine.

I've now edited this posting three times - no Sheeper has EVER edited one of their posts in twenty years, but there are tens of thousands of "correction, shoulda been....." posts.

Him and his brain-dead son play all day with BS monickers on a pile of old Linux boxes. That is how he keeps his site entertaining. Without that 24 hour support of BS posts, his site would be a ghost-town, kinda like LF.

Well, I guess they have the viking kitties making STUPID posts.

that Packard-Bell dinosaur and Windows 98

Windows 98 SE (Server Edition), I'm sure.

Hey liberator!

Long time since I've seen a post of yours! Hope you are healthy and happy. I occasionally lurk here, never post anymore. Place sucks with canary overload, sneaky being kicked every month, and no Chuck_Wagon and you being MIA.

Since they're hoovering up a third of a million per year, why don't they pay retainers to onsite service techs at the farm, or alternately just MOVE the damn thing closer to home so the Sheepers don't have to keep reading "We've got a long drive to San Jose ahead of us, so keep the loot coming!" posts?

Long time no see, you finally feeling better?

Fred Mertz got the stealth ban too.
