I have heard pretty good things about that phone.

Me too so I just got back from checking it out. For two speakers I found it to not be as loud as expected. Louder than my current phone, but nothing like the original Droid. The screen was also very dark. Brightness was turned all the way up too.

Checked the Samsung S4 as well. That was nice. Then I picked up the LG Optimus Pro G and liked that one even better. I'm not a fan of LG phones since with Verizon they have lousy reception. This with AT&T so I hope that is different. Gotta do some research on this phone and maybe end up with that instead.

Well, got the LG Optimus Pro G. It's a beast to hold on to. My cheap-o pre-pay test phone seems to be getting a better signal. Not happy about that so far. I've got 14 days to try it. I may end up with the HTC One after all...

Dont settle... get the one. You will regret it later if you settle

stupidgenius36

Stick with the cheap pre-paid phone.

I'm really liking the Optimus. BUT... I hate LG since their reception was the worst on Verizon. I'm finding it's the same with AT&T as well. The signal is in and out here while the cheap pre-pay always has one bar and 3G. In the store the Optimus was going between 2 and 3 bars while the One always had 3. I had checked the dBm on both and the One did have a better number, but the phones were also in different parts of the store so that could make a difference. I'll see how it does at work compared to other ATT phones. If it fails there too, then i'll do the swap.

What I dislike about the One is the smaller battery and that you can't change it, and no SD card. My Razr Maxx is sealed too, but the battery is 30% bigger!


Better signal, I just might! Actually I was getting rid of Vonage and wanted to port my number over to Google Voice. For whatever reason a port from Vonage to Google wasn't allowed to I did the port to ATT. Now i'll just port from ATT to Google and i'll have free home phone!

Battery life is great so far. 16 hours and still 53% left!

I can't tell if that was sarcasm, or if you actually think that was a smart statement...

Just being a stupid genius.

stupidgenius36

I see what you did there...

texastboneking

Ok. Firewall setup. Auto ip ban on ddos attacks,open port scans, too many failed logins on ssh port (which I changed from 22.) Secured apache2 and change settings to prevent modification from external sources. Last part is the raid controller. Any recommendations on brands? Or specific controllers? Sata 3 of course.

Perc..... Oh wait this is a home built. Ummm. Idk I don't have any experience other than some of the rocket raid cards, but I just used them for the external esata ports

texastboneking

LOL yes a home build... no real business going down on it.. now if the forum that im hosting grows to the point of possible sponsors or what not.. then i will be looking to build a real server and getting a business line. but by that time i would hope to be out of the apartment and in a house. 5 or so years down the road

this is probably the most low tech server you will ever see...

stupidgenius36

My server is running an old P4. What you got?

texastboneking

Amd tri-core. 8 gigs ram. 4 tbs.

Ubuntu lamp server 12.04lts

Stupid wins

My rig is older. Lol. P4, maxed out at 4GB of RAM, and 5TB of USB 2.0 and SATA II. We didn't have that fancy SATA III or eSATA back in my day...
