Dogs reduce allergies in kids

Follows common sense.

Being couped up in a protective, dust and allergen free house with electrostatic HVAC filters, tight sealing doors and windows, and a HEPA filter on every vacuum cleaner - it's no wonder why we're getting so sensitive to dust, pollen, and dander.

Let your kids have a dog, let them get dirty in the mud and dirt... they'll be healthier for it.

Fasthosts' dedicated servers go titsup

Ye get what ye pay for.

So a discount web host goes tits up and people bitch about the money they lost... no surprise there - you should see the status blog comments at Dreamhost when they have a network glitch or data center fuckup... it's insane.

People pay ten bucks a month for a 1/100th of a server (probably a lot less)... but then they put their business on it? For christsakes... pay a few extra bucks and go with a dedicated server. If you can't swing that go for a dedicated virtual server like slicehost.com.

It's like not voting, but still bitching about who got elected. stfu and go away!

1M pounds and no auto shutdown or temp sensors?

What kind of hardware doesn't bring on board temp sensors and self protection systems that shutdown the system (gracefully or otherwise) to prevent permanent damage?

Unless of course these geniuses disabled them because they were shutting down all the time.
