sure lets add another device :-) They "took care of the rest" didnt they? For that kind of money i am going to hire my own sherpa who will follow me around with a desktop wi-fi connection and 2 car batteries.
-and what does that get me? (using thier own estimator) 10 e-mails a day , 1 movie a day, 6 hours of streaming music, 18pics a day (little ones) , 1 game or application a day, and unlimited web browsing.
battery powered device with similar volume to a smartphone that's folded in half (thicker but not as long) with the sole purpose of sharing cellular data over wifi
some mobile hotspots' firmware is based on a non-user-customizable version of Android -- where the lower level base system and middleware and kernel are the same, but the UI layer is a lot more locked down, can't install apps, etc
makes it easy for them to use smartphone LTE radios in them
@Waffle'sCrazyPeanut and erase your data, yes, but then they've stolen a drive with valuable data, erased the valuable data, and now all they have is a usable empty flash drive

Blue Pill is the codename for a rootkit based on x86 virtualization. Blue Pill originally required AMD-V (Pacifica) virtualization support, but was later ported to support Intel VT-x (Vanderpool) as well. It was designed by Joanna Rutkowska and originally demonstrated at the Black Hat Briefings on August 3, 2006, with a reference implementation for the Microsoft Windows Vista kernel.
Overview
The Blue Pill concept is to trap a running instance of the operating system by starting a thin hypervisor and virtualizing the rest of the machine under it. The previous operating system would still...
@Bob but aren't you supposed to be monitoring my system? why didn't you monitor the temperature??? why didn't you tell me it wasn't OK to overclock a 2004 CPU to 5 GHz????
@Boris_yo no, it's like, the turn of the century/millennium, and there are hundreds of companies that think that making a website is going to make them the next AOL/Excite/whatever, and they all start creating websites, and within a few years they all realize "Aww, we can't make money on the internet because we're dumb", and then they close their offices and a holdings company buys it up as part of the bankruptcy settlement
then the holdings company takes half a decade in court before they start to auction off the assets (server hardware)
@allquixotic So if I have a company who makes losses and want to close it but come out with reducing losses as much as possible, I am not liquidator but it is company that I sell all mu stuff to? If so, is there a term for original company that wants to do above?
@Ash you have plenty of good answers from veteran users who give technically accurate and useful points. i don't think it needs to be reopened for any more answers. recommend that you accept an answer and leave it closed
@Boris_yo right, you sell the whole company (what's left of it) to the liquidators and they sell it on your behalf
@Boris_yo the liquidator hopes to sell the stuff at a higher price than they paid the original company to buy out the assets... they auction off most of the stuff
in most cases the company that's going out of business is desperate to recoup some of their losses and they're willing to take a fairly bad deal on it overall
$58.99 incl. management could be ok if you are clueless about linux system administration and too afraid to get free managed service, ahem, free help from SE (here, Comms Room, SF, etc)
@allquixotic And about companies that tried to rule markets after .COM burst? They wanted to sell their stuff and computing equipment however, you did not mention about their websites themselves. Domains like travel.com creditcard. com business.com worth millions...
@Ash you cant fight progress, if Intel Microsoft and or apple had done this 10 years ago , instead of people saying it was impossible , they would be saying How else Could it be :-) mostly because everything would already be designed around that existing. Raid cards have been protecting thier ram with battery backup for that long, but again everything about the software and hardware was designed to be able to do that. On the mainboard it is not.
I'd rather have Hetzner's "extraordinary cancellation fee" (for some German dialect specific meaning of "extraordinary") than pay double for half the hardware
