Being a US company who is to say they havent been "leaned" on

Having cycled for years here, I would rather pay for a car than continue to put my life at risk, neither are many Irish towns as flat as Netherlands

hmm let me see, one reason would be is petrol is at €1.90/liter

thats about 2.5x to 3x more than in US

No offence but why would I put my data on US hosted servers?

Privacy violations would make liable under the local (a western european country) Data Protection act

no thanks

"The place of choice is an awful forum called WebHosting Talk."

I do not get that quote.

I have been a WHT member for years and in that time found dozens of excellent server and collocation providers.

How did this get on the frontpage?

anyways do note that the blog appears to be written by some sort of neo-communist

... furthermore

How would "Americans" feel about some other nation spying on them? Do you guys realise that you are handing a get out of jail free card to Chinese, Iranians, Russians to continue censoring and surveying their citizens and YOU LOT as well

Notice the word "American" in the title, as a citizen of an allied nation which always stood by US it pisses me off being snooped on since what the NSA is doing would violate all the privacy and data protection laws here and is well just plain wrong

Us hackers need to make a new "web" a web where censorship is not possible and everything is encrypted, a "web" with no single points of failure, a "web" where domains cant snatched or censored, a "web" like the web used to be :(

Ive one server left in US, cancelling it soon, thats 900/month less going into US economy.

order with OVH.IE

Germans still have a recent experience of a surveillance+police state

I find the people doing the moaning about PHP are the noobs who are regurgitating what they read or heard elsewhere in order to appear smart, Having moved to PHP 10 years ago after C and Java and .NET development I am happy for having changed direction and have made a bootload of money and saved alot of time thanks to PHP over the years.

I never made such an argument, you are the one building strawmen and going off on a tangent trying to deflect from my point which hits the bullsye

The "Party" (calling them Communist is a bit of a joke by now) only cares about its own survival and continuing grip on power and control of 1/6th of the worlds population.

I was talking about the Chinese government, if its people do care about the environment but try to do something about it they would get labelled as dissidents and prosecuted. Thats what you get for living in an authoritarian state keeping its people under thumb in order to further the party

And stop with the "racist" crap, in light of news of widespread NSA surveilance and changes over last year the USA ain that far behind.

It didnt take long for members of the Ministry of Truth to popup and try to "reeducate" readers regarding my earlier comments.

You are all missing the point, China is in a construction boom, construction is the best way to achieve double digit GDP growth, construction and sale of apartments and houses also lines the pockets of the Party

But of course all of the comments so far have been about the environment, the Chinese do not give 2 shits about pollution and sustainability, the motive is clear KEEP THE PARTY IN CONTROL AT ALL COSTS

You right, no proof of work either

tl:dr NSA invented Bitcoin?

Use linux?

Its bullshit like this that gives bitcoin a bad name, now the spinsters will use this article to spin bitcoin in a negative light, well done :(

Civilization 5 uses hexagons

Whats the complaining about for fucks sake! Our company had 7000 euro frozen for 6 months while those skullheads were deciding whether to give us our money and not telling us why they are doing this Then they proceeded to close my personal account simply because I was the company director

Thats for a 6-7 year old or so hosting company that has always been in profit

Maybe more Indians like the above guy start using bitcoin, the world would be a fucking better place without Paypal

Did you have to spam my .io mailbox?

Imagine trying to keep 1.2 billion people under a what amounts to a fascist/statist control if they were are as heavily armed as USasians
