I suggested to remove I/O in Unixbench on WHT, is that still being considered?
comment
It depends. Some people get a decent speed in both DC. Some dont. For a hosting company you want most people to be in the great speed camp, and good speed for the rest.
comment
Yes. But you are not comparing a hosting company to hosting company. In the above example, Linode Win hands down. DO just need to improve on their Networking. ( But i guess you get what you paid for )…

Facts:
For $40 Dollar you get a 4GB Droplet from DO, not 2GB, So you actually get 4x the memory. And yes their Networking isn't that great.

Well that is not really a problem with Node itself. Are there any framework like Rails for Node? Then makes ( or try to make ) all the best options for you?
comment
Yes. I have always wanted to ask. So what is the difference between BSD and MIT?

"While I'd love a patent- and royalty-free video format to offer the highest quality compression you can find, I wouldn't hold my breath for one." I wonder why couldn't they allow software usage ( Enc…
