Server Rental - Points to Consider While Renting a Server

We all have various system requirements on a day-to-day basis, servers being one of them. A server is a technological component that helps manage network resources. The server is basically configured with additional memory, storage capacity and processing capacity to handle the load of the entire network accessing it.

As servers are expensive and get upgraded quite so frequently, individuals and organizations prefer renting servers. Atlanta server rental is one such reliable rental company that will assist you in understanding the technological aspect and the suitability of the server for your needs.

Renting a server has quite a few advantages and usually is an easy process. But it is equally important as buying a new server and must be done by taking apt precautionary measures. Here are few points you might want to consider while going in for a server rental.

Understanding your needs before renting a server

While renting a server it is essential to have a clear understanding of your needs. A variety of servers are available at Atlanta server rental that cater to specific and multiple purposes. Make sure you look at your requirements quite closely. The type of server you want should be compatible with the network and operating systems. You could ask for a trial software compatibility test before renting the server.

Decide on the server type and processing capacity

The next step is to determine the type of server you need. If you happen to be someone who doesn't know much about technology, you could always take along someone who has knowledge about servers. Or, you could provide your list of requirements to Atlanta server rental to help select the server type.

Depending on the size of the network you can determine the server you will need. Most small networks use the basic type of server. A high-end processing server might be an ideal choice for a larger network as it gives greater processing speed.

While renting a server, it is always better to enquire about important aspects that could improve performance and memory as well.

Security of your data while using a rented server

Most servers are connected to the internet. Since the server is a rental it is but natural to be apprehensive about data security. You can always explain your security needs to the rental company. They usually offer virus protection as well.

There are many security softwares that the company can install while you rent the server to avoid compromising on your data security.

Additional requirements and benefits of renting a server

While renting a server common benefits like installation and equipment configuration are usually provided. Additional accessories like storage arrays, routers, cables and access points are also provided with the server.

Always make sure you go in for quality equipment. Opt for flexible rental plans. Atlanta Server Rental is one such company which offers negotiable term contracts and quality equipments which satisfy your needs. Before finalizing, make sure you consider future requirements as well.

NewMusicBox ? This Is a Brain On Music

Home / Blogs

My interest in language and linguistics achieved laser focus a few years ago while I was living in Barcelona and learning Spanish (actually the locals would insist on Castilian) ?on the job,? so to speak. It was extremely interesting to learn (or rather, improve to fluency) a foreign language as an adult, well past the ?prime time? childhood years when language attainment happens more simply and fluidly. (Aside: parents, one of the best things you can possibly do for your child is to raise her or him in a bilingual environment.) Even though I always did well in language classes in school, I had to work at this. Never will I forget the day that a stranger on the street stopped me to ask a question, and I answered back without even thinking about the words. Progress!

One benefit of going through these motions as an adult was having a high degree of self-awareness of the process as I experienced it. For instance, I discovered that the ?Foreign Language Department? of my brain is not connected to the ?Native (English) Language Department.? Whenever I had trouble thinking of a particular word in Spanish, an alternative would pop into my head, never in English, but rather in Italian or German, even though I speak only a little bit of each. Similarly, at a certain time in the evenings, especially after a long day of much talking (People in Spain talk a lot. A LOT.), my ?Foreign Language Department? would literally shut down, and I could barely muster even English words. The most interesting side effect of these adventures in foreign language acquisition occurred on days when I was heavily steeped in composing. If interrupted from working on a musical project?such as if someone were to come to the door?I was barely able to summon any Spanish language at all! It would take everything I had just to give a basic response to whatever was needed. Thank goodness for friendly and patient neighbors.

Over the past few weeks, I have been experiencing similar conflicts between my internal ?Music Department? and my ?Creative Writing (of words) Department.? That is, the more time I am spending in the thick of an orchestra piece, the more challenging it has become to write words. It?s as if all the blood flow to my brain is being diverted to the part that deals with musical language (and I would argue that learning to write music is very much like learning a foreign language), leaving only a tiny trickle going to the prose section. Although I have experienced this before, it is hitting me with greater force this time around, presumably because this is by far the largest composition I?ve written to date. It?s not exactly writer?s block, because I?ve got about four blog posts in various states of development; interesting topics, but the sentences are just not gelling quite right.

With that in mind, I?m taking a breather from these weekly blog posts?both in order to devote more time to behind-the-scenes NewMusicBox activities, and to conserve energy that will help me complete this musical project, which is so close to done I can taste it. If something comes up that wants/needs writing about, I will most certainly make that happen. Thanks, and see you again soon!

Max Payne 3 Review - Video Games | Games Reviews Online in ...

It has been a long wait - nine years to be precise - since Max Payne last hit the gaming shelves. After endless delays, we got our hands on the latest edition of the franchise, simply titled Max Payne 3.

As evident from the publicity stills which were in circulation since over a year, Max Payne 3 is based in Sao Paulo, Brazil; and Max looks like he has gained some weight and has aged significantly from the last time we saw him in 2003. This time Max teams up with his academy pal Raul Passos (who, like Max, is an ex-cop), and works as a private security for a rich Brazilian named Rodrigo Branco and his family. The story starts off as a series of flashbacks and then switches to present day somewhere in the middle. It starts off with a kidnapping in the family, which gets Max and Raul involved in a series of rescue operations. As the story progresses, one realizes that protecting Branco's family is just one aspect of the game and there are other facets involving a series of double-crosses between some prime characters. We wouldn't want to get into more details beyond this as it would involve revealing some crucial links to aspects that take the story forward and are best encountered through the gaming experience. The game is sprinkled with clues which add value to the story. Golden gun parts which extend your ammo per clip and increase gun damage.

Although the classic noir feel that was present in the original Max Payne series is missing along with the graphic novel panels, some tribute is paid to that tradition in the form of image panels as the game loads or during cut-scenes which are backed by dialogue, thereby taking the story forward. One also sees certain parts of the dialogue emphasized as text on the screen. There is no tribute to the character of Mona Sax.

Third person narration and decently-long duration cut-scenes make this game seem like you are a part of some Hollywood film. The game itself has its share of twists in the plot that keep you hooked. Max's state of health, thanks to alcohol abuse, is wonderfully represented by jittery, blurred and distorted video effects that make the gamer almost feel as if he is stoned. Although we loved the cinematic representation, it may not live up to everyone's tastes. In every chapter, however, the cut-scenes and the actual game play transition very smoothly. You know you take control when the health and bullet-time gauge show up.

Every chapter in Max Payne 3 is set in a completely different terrain. This is one of the best aspects of the game as it really helps the gamer to engage with the game as you are constantly on your toes. This can also get chronically addictive, we may add. You start in a luxurious building in one chapter, then move to a football stadium in the next, visit a psychedelic neon-lit dance club, go cop-hunting in a police headquarters and also indulge in getting lost and finding your way through the maze that are the alleys of the Nova Esperanza favella (slum) in Sao Paolo. Modes of transport have not been left behind so brace yourself for some action inside a moving boat, a moving bus, a steady yatch and also at an airport! And for those of you who miss the typical New York feel of the previous iterations, there are some chapters which take you back to New Jersey and NYC, with its typical landscapes and minor details.

Intricate detailing is the hallmark of this game. Designing levels with so many different terrains and making them look real takes work and Rockstar has come out all-guns-blazing in that department. Character design and facial features have been etched out to the extent that you can see every wrinkle, cut, and twitch on Max's face. Max's face reads 'tired' yet he trudges along at every level with a steely determination to uncover the ultimate truth. Other major characters also look quite real. We really loved that one scene where Max is shaving his head and just as it would be in real life, it is not a clean one. Other aspects such as Max wiping the sweat off his brow, as he is taking a breather from shooting down his opponents, adds to the realistic feel of the game. Max?s dialogues are peppered with sarcasm and will stay with you long after the game.

Brutal violence is the norm of the game. Just like every severed limb in the Kill Bill franchise sprinkles blood, so does every bullet shot that pierces through your opponent's or Max's body. In a gun-fight sequence, the last kill usually happens in a slow-motion-bullet-camera sequence allowing you ample time to bask in the morbidity.

Bullet Time which we all loved in the first Max Payne game is still there, with an added finesse. We found the shoot dodge aspect to not be as accurate as we would have liked. Perhaps we needed more practice... The last man standing feature allows Max to shoot down one of his opponents even as he, himself, is falling to his death - provided Max has at least one painkiller. The other aspect which may or may not be liked by most gamers, is that every time Max gets killed a bit too often, the Painkiller count and bullet counts increase.

There are a variety of guns from which one can choose but at a time, Max can carry only two guns. If you want to get into the double-gun mode, then the larger gun has to be forfeited. We did observe that the pistols and carbines in some scenarios gave a better kill ratio than the laser-pointed ones. Acquiring target lock, hard lock, soft lock or none can be adjusted from the Settings Menu. The game levels offer a variety of cover mechanics but sometimes it is just best to go out on an all-shooting spree using Bullet Time strategically. However, don't think that your health will regenerate if you just vegetate behind a cover. You will need painkillers for that.

As far as the graphics go, you will not be disappointed. Although we still feel that the game would look quite brilliant on a PC with all the AA and AF set to maximum. Nevertheless, the PS3 version looks great, the slo-mo death scenes with blood splattering out seems realistic. The portrayal of the favella is very good and the layering of the landscape there is really good, making action that much more challenging. Background score is one of its strong points and adds a lot of value to the overall feel of the game.

Verdict

So, should you play this game? Hell yeah! It does not matter if you haven't been a follower of the Max Payne franchise, there isn't much in common except for the one chapter which takes us back to Max's past in NYC. Gameplay, bullet-time, graphics and sound are brilliant. The story, though not as layered as it was in the first two instalments, still offers the plot twists to keep you engaged. Level design in varied terrains is a definite plus. If you are a third person shooter fanatic, the decision to buy this game is a no-brainer.

Report: Russian intelligence suspects US hand in SuperJet crash

Although aviation experts dismissed Russian intelligence's suspicions of a US hand in the May 9 plane crash in Indonesia, the many unanswered questions about the crash fuel conspiracy theories.?

By Fred Weir,?Correspondent / May 24, 2012

In this September 2007 file photo, a Sukhoi Superjet 100 is displayed outside the aviation factory in Komsomolsk-on-Amur, Russia, about 3,900 miles east of Moscow.

Ruslan Krivobok/RIA-Novosti/AP/File

Russia's military intelligence agency, the GRU, suspects that US-inspired industrial espionage may have caused the May 9 crash in Indonesia?of a Sukhoi Superjet 100?? Russia's only hopeful entry in the civilian aviation market ? according to Moscow's leading tabloid newspaper, the usually reliable and officially connected?Komsomolskaya Pravda.

While most Russian aviation experts contacted today dismissed the sabotage theory, they say there is a deepening mystery about how Russia's most modern civil aircraft, with all its systems apparently functioning perfectly, came to slam into the side of a mile-high volcano during a routine demonstration flight.

"All the theories put forward so far are badly flawed, there is a shortage of hard information and there are a lot of irresponsible rumors," says Roman Gusarov, editor of Avia.ru, an online aviation journal. "I am afraid that Russia is not going to emerge from this story without taking a black eye."

Citing an unnamed GRU general, Komsomolskaya Pravda?claimed that electronic jamming of the plane's on board equipment is the most plausible explanation for how the jet, which was making a demonstration flight out of Jakarta airport with 45 people aboard, smashed into a mountainside even though an initial investigation has found that its terrain and collision avoidance systems were all functioning properly.

"We are investigating the theory that it was industrial sabotage," the GRU officer is quoted as saying. He said that Russian intelligence has long monitored the activities of US military electronic specialists at the Jakarta airport.

"We know that they have special equipment that can cut communications between an aircraft and the ground or interfere with the parameters on board," he said. "For example, the plane is flying at one altitude, but after interference from the ground onboard equipment shows another."

The investigation has so far turned up the plane's "black box" cockpit voice recorder, which shows that no system-failure alarms went off during the plane's final minutes, nor did the crew take any audible emergency action. But the aircraft's digital flight recorder, which monitors flight systems and engine performance, remains missing in the rough jungle terrain around Mount Salak, where at least seven other deadly air disasters have occurred.

Big questions

The biggest question about the crash is why the SuperJet's pilot,?Alexander Yablontsev, one of Russia's most experienced test pilots, requested permission to descend amid a rainstorm in a notoriously mountainous area ? and why a ground controller in Jakarta granted that permission.

"Maybe he didn't see that the plane was heading straight at the mountain. On the other hand, we don't rule out the possibility that this was deliberate industrial sabotage to drive our aircraft from the market," an unnamed official at Sukhoi, the plane's manufacturer, told Komsomolskaya Pravda. "Fortunately, we don't foresee any loss of orders [for the SuperJet]."

After a Year In Orbit, US Air Force's X37-B Will Conclude Its Secret Mission

It consumed roughtly 737,400lbs of fuel, minus the weight of the Atlas V rocket (so 500,000 lbs of fuel?) to get it in orbit. To orbit the earth at an altitude above the non-negligible atmosphere, you need to travel at around 17,000mph or more. This is roughly the same speed the Shuttle, ISS, Dragon capsule, Hubble, et all are moving. The rocket puts it in orbit at that speed. I think once in orbit, about 6 months in to it's mission, it did an orbital course correction, which if done at the correct time, requires surprisingly little fuel to do.

Software is so much part of existence

Posted by pcje1k1riz8 on 14 hours ago

Using a pc to write regarding computer systems is much like looking for ?Google? on the search engines!

Younger surrendering mothers and adoptive parents here?

I am wondering if the surrendering mothers of today and not long ago, were furnished and/or asked for the medical and psycho-social history and/or a copy of the Homestudy, of the adoptive parents they chose to place their child with prior to the adoption finalization? If not, why not? Adoptive parents.. have any of the first mothers who chose you to adopt her child, did the nmother at anytime request this directly from you or thru the facilitators of the surrender/adoption? I would think it just as important for a surrendering mother to have the written medical and mental health histories of the adoptive parents (adoptive family) she is placing her child with, as it is important for the adoptive parents to have from the surrendering mother/parents. Would this also not help a surrendering mother to make a more informed/educated decision to place her child with the aparents she has selected? I think this would only be in regards to private and adoption agency placements. I am assuming most foster care adoptions in America, the surrendering mother is not ?placing?, per se. Am just wondering. Thank you.

Best answer:

Answer by Sam
At this point the birth parents can pick the adoptive family?if they want to. I?m sure they can get that info if they require it as part of the terms of placement. I?m sure they would have to actually ask for it though, I don?t think that is something automatically given.

Give your answer to this question below!

ASUS announces line of Transformer Books, laptops with detchable touchscreens

In addition to various Windows 8 tablets and a dual-booting all-in-one, ASUS announced the Transformer Book, a line of notebooks with detachable touch screens that can function as tablets -- not ARM-based tablets, mind you, but full-blown x86 slates. So, if you were wondering which side of the laptop / tablet hybrid fence these fall onto, that should clear it up for you. Another sign these are notebooks first and tabs second? Look no further than the large screen sizes: 11.6, 13 and 14 inches. As mentioned, they pack laptop-grade chips to match, including a Core i7 Ivy Bridge processor, backed by discrete graphics. Storage options include SSDs and traditional hard drives, and we're told these lappies can accommodate up to 4GB of RAM.

At the same time, you'll find some features designed to give users tablet functionality when they decide to un-dock from the keyboard. This includes not just your standard webcam on the front, but a 5-megapixel shooter 'round back. Sadly, no word just yet on pricing or availability, though with a final version of Windows 8 a good four months off, we're not surprised that ASUS is keeping those details to itself. In the meantime, help yourself to some hands-on photos below, and a walk-through video after the break.

Home Improvement Tips That Can Work For Anyone : The Wise ...

Activities don?t have to be very energetic or huge. They can be very hardworking, small and personal, too. The perfect example of this kind of activity is home improvement. Its main goal is improving upon your home so that it looks how you want it to look. Follow the tips below to get started.

Before beginning a home improvement project, make a list of the actions you think will need to be taken from start to finish. Obtain a second opinion from a trusted source to see if there are any steps you missed or anything you didn?t take into account. Plan to set aside plenty of time for your project, as it might take longer than expected.

After your home improvement work is finished, do not submit your final payment until you are happy with the work that was performed. You can also make ?progress payments,? which involves giving the contractor small sums of money in certain increments over the course of the project. Do not pay for work that you are not satisfied with.

To cut down your home?s energy costs, replace your current thermostat with one that can be programmed. Many families save close to $200 yearly through programmable thermostat use. A programmable thermostat can be set to change when your family is sleeping or out of the house, keeping you from paying for heating and cooling you don?t need. They?re also inexpensive, and can be picked up for less than $40.

When you reorganize your garage, make a clean sweep. Take everything out rather than just shuffling junk around inside the garage. By doing it this way, you can examine all of your stored treasures and decide which ones you can get rid of to make better use of your storage space.

If you are lucky enough to have a deck on your home, then you probably do routine cleaning such as sweeping and general removal of outdoor debris. You should also do a deep cleaning of your deck surface at least once a year. Remove everything from your deck to give yourself plenty of room to work.

If you have lost water pressure, it may be an easy problem to diagnose. Start by asking your neighbors if they are having the same problem. If not the problem is internal to your home. Check the water pressure at all faucets in the home to see if it is a whole house problem. It may just be an aerator that needs adjusted but if not, you may want to call in a professional.

Follow the above tips, and the investments you make into home improvements will be wise expenditures of both your energy and the resources it takes to complete a project. From the smallest project to the most complex, home improvement can be rewarding and worthwhile in many ways ? as long as you pay attention to tips like these.

Avoid Home Improvement Pitfalls With These Tips

double glazing prices
If homeowners are armed with relevant information that is updated and factual, they can complete many home improvement projects on their own. Before starting a new home improvement project, read this article for interesting insight and tips that will make the process more enjoyable and efficient. Adding panels to your walls can give your home a quick pick-me-up. Putting in new panels will give your home a new feel for a low cost. If you do change your mind and do not like what you have done, they are very easy to remove without causing a lot of damage to your walls. To avoid excessive repair bills ensure storm water does not flow towards your walls. Try to make your yard slope in the direction of the street or make your downspout longer. Start preparing for your planned remodeling project, even if it's still a ways in the future, by collecting ideas as you come across them. It should be easy to walk through room to room of your home and find many ideas for improvement. You won't have to clamor to choose a color at the very last minute. One way to improve your home is to install fixtures to reduce water usage. Low-flow toilets, shower heads and tank-less heaters are all readily available. These new fixtures will save money, eliminate wasteful water usage and add value to your home by being more modern and environmentally efficient. Doing this makes your bristles bend which, over time, makes them wear down. The way to keep a broom working well is to hang it with the bristles off the ground. The same principle is true for mops. The added concern for a mop is to allow for drying to lessen the amount of bacterial growth. A quick and easy home improvement project involves applying fresh caulk to all your windows. This benefits you in several ways. It lowers your utility bills, and helps protect against damage to the windows as well. In addition to the obvious insulation improvements, this can also prevent moisture from seeping in and stimulating mold growth. Use a chisel to take off the old caulking before you apply the new caulk. Buildings cannot be easily stolen, however, the supplies to build them can and will be if the opportunity is given. Keep your materials in a secure location when you are not actively using them. You can leave the supplies in the home if it has locks on its windows and doors. If the property is not secure, lockable containers are another idea to discourage theft. When storing supplies for your next project, keep in mind that building supplies of all types are often stolen. When there is no work going on, building supplies need to be put somewhere secure. If your home has lockable doors and windows, keeping them inside is fine. If the project has holes where windows and doors will go, then the supplies need to be kept in a lockable container on site. Pick up a flashy new mailbox to improve the outside of your home. Adding a new mailbox can make your home appear upgraded, which helps add more curb appeal to it. Make sure to comply with any city or homeowner's regulations before you install your new mailbox. It is a pretty simple job that should only take a couple of hours. If you notice what seems to be a hole used by mice, fill it with a ball of steel wool. The rodents are not able to chew through this, even though they can chew through just about anything else, so you can use this as a stop-gap until you make a permanent repair. Resealing the windows in your home can save you a great deal of money on your monthly heating and cooling bills. Making sure no cold drafts or moisture are leaking in from the outside will reduce your heating costs and prevent mold growth. Use a chisel to take off the old caulking before you apply the new caulk. A new front door could increase significantly the value of your home, sometimes up to 10 percent. You could update your front door and give it a completely new look by simply purchasing a new lock or doorknob. A dormer window can make a large attic more useful. This adds charm to your house, along with potentially doubling your square footage. A dormer window will increase the value of your home, and you will have more space to live in. Shut off your house's water supply when your home improvement work takes you into the kitchen or the bathroom. Whenever you are dealing with pipes, fittings, or fixtures, finding and turning the shutoff valve should be step number one. This step will enable you to prevent a flood. Replacing the caulking and sealant around your windows is a quick home improvement project with great benefits, both in terms of economy and avoiding serious damage. Making sure no cold drafts or moisture are leaking in from the outside will reduce your heating costs and prevent mold growth. If the old caulking is cracked, remove it carefully with a chisel and hammer and replace with fresh caulk. These tips will help you to avoid unnecessary setbacks and unexpected expenses. You can now say "Stop. Hammer time," and start a home improvement project whenever you want.

WWII vet graduates high school 70 years late

After a life filled with both tragedies and triumphs, an 86-year-old World War II veteran receives his high school diploma. KCBD's Tiffany Pelt reports.

By NBC News and msnbc.com staff

Jack Fletcher was in his senior year of high school in Spur, Texas, when World War II broke out. Graduation would have to wait -- 70 years, as it turned out.

Fletcher traveled the world after the war and now lives in Australia, but a special ceremony brought him back as an honorary graduate of the Spur High School Class of 2012,?NBC station KCBD of Lubbock reported.

"I had to look to make sure they put a certificate in there," he laughed after the graduation ceremony. "I was afraid they were kidding me!"

Born in 1925 in Spur, Fletcher moved with his family to another town. But in?1941, after Fletcher's?parents were?killed in a?car accident, he?and his siblings moved back to Spur to live with their grandparents.

---

But before Fletcher's senior year was over, World War II erupted.

"Oh man, me and my three brothers all volunteered as quickly as we could," Fletcher told KCBD.?

See the original story at KCBD

"My friend Corbit said I'll go to Europe to win the war, and you go to the Pacific and win it out there, and we'll get back together. God bless him, he was killed in his first mission," Fletcher told KCBD. "We had seven buddies of mine that were killed. I was pulled back to headquarters before they came up the ridge and that's the only reason I'm still here. It bothered me for a long time ? I should have been with them, you know."

Fletcher left?the military in 1946 and?found his way back to Spur.

"When I got off the bus at the end of my lane, there sat David," Fletcher?said as he began to cry. "That little dog ? my grandmother said he waited at the end of the lane each day when I left."

As quickly as Fletcher?returned to Spur, he left once again.?He?traveled the world working in the agricultural business. Fletcher found himself in Australia and helped to create the Australian Land and Cattle Co.

"We bought 4.3 million acres of country, a ranch about 11 times the size of Dickens County," he said.

But at age?86,?something was still missing. On?May 25,?Fletcher?came back to Spur to join the Class of 2012 as an honorary graduate.

Jack Fletcher is seen during his graduation ceremony May 25 in Spur, Texas.

"The superintendent assured them I was no slow learner, even though it's taken me 70 years," he said.

Though age separated Fletcher?from the 10 teens graduating, he had no trouble fitting in as he joked around with the group.

"If you would have waited until you were 86 years old to graduate, you could've had a camera come film you," he joked with one of the grads.

The first named called, Fletcher?walked across the stage in his blue cap and gown and finally received?his high school diploma. He ended the day?by tossing his cap with the other graduates.

"Spur will always hold a special place in my heart," he said.

Cricket now offers the iPhone with $55 'unlimited' everything plan

Cricket Wireless, the prepaid subsidiary of Leap, has just announced the availability of the iPhone 4 and 4S on its network. A 16GB 4S will set you back $500, while an 8GB 4 clocks in at a slightly more affordable $400. Both are available with Cricket's $55 "unlimited" everything plan, which includes all you can eat talk, text, and data -- provided your idea of "unlimited" data falls within its fair usage policies (in this case, 2.3GB of data). Cricket is hardly alone among America's smaller carriers in offering the iPhone, C-Spire as well as a number of regional carriers all stock Apple's wares. What makes this offering unique, is that Cricket is the first completely prepaid carrier to sell the handset.

Check out the PR after the break and hit up the source for more info.
