Not long ago I moved all my stuff from GoDaddy just because of how sleezy they'd gotten. Sleezy as in "check out our internet only ads that are too 'hot' for tv" being plastered all over their home page, etc. That plus the fact that you couldn't navigate their account/hosting controls even if you had a tour guide. I eventually decided on HostGator due to price per options, and I've been happy. You might give them a look. Their support people were always able to intelligently answer any technical questions as well (e.g., Why are you still stuck on Rails 2?). YMMV. Just my 2 cents worth.

I think it's the lack of a space (or two spaces if you want to be really correct) between the word "He" and the preceding period.

It's a ship returning from Davy Jone's locker!

Good summation. Why oh why do I never have mod points when I really need them!? Maybe it's because I don't post much. ;)

They dry rot especially if you don't use it. By running the generator fuel/oil (depending on which gasket) are splashed/pushed onto the gasket, moisturizing it and prolonging it's life. Crank it up every now and again and be sure to use fuel stabilizer if you don't drain the gas tank; otherwise the gas turns sort of green and rotten.

The direct parent I'm replying to was my comment. Didn't notice I was AC.

Amen!

It sounds funny, but in WWII Japan, citizens could be arrested for accidentally seeing a military ship in the ocean just off the coast. People would literally close the blinds on passenger trains as they passed a beach to avoid this.

You beat me to the punch! I'm glad I'm not the only one who gets irked when people say clip instead of magazine. I wish I had some mod points for you!

Ha ha....I can definitely see the resemblance!

You know, I can't seem to get over this part. You're right on target when you say it's more common in a "base install", but I just can't get past how hard it is for me to read. I don't know, maybe I'm weird, but I gave up trying to use the stuff. I have been known to use php in cli mode instead, even though it may not be as ubiquitous as perl. I just started looking at Ruby, and so far I like it pretty good too.

Either way, when I see perl code I can't help but think about something a friend of mine told me once...he said perl code looked like he puked ASCII chunks in his terminal.

Where oh where are my mod points? This is hilarious! Is it bad that the episode of TNG to which your are referring is the first thing that came to my mind when reading this article?

I can second this whole-heartedly. I work in a computer shop, and I can personally testify that these two products catch more infections than anything Symantec, McAffee, or Trend Micro EVER came out with. I still recommend Malwarebytes Antimalware as a supplementary spyware scanner, but Avast and Avira are definitely my favorite for main protection.

I'm all for doing the right thing, too. Some people just have a hard time figuring out what that is. In my life I have bought 3-4 component dvd players. Right now, only 1 of them still works. That means I've paid the license fee for the dvd codec 3 or 4 times, and 2 or 3 of those license purchases are unused. So, I don't feel bad running xine/mplayer/ffmpeg with libdvdcss. I've paid my dues.

I think it comes down to this question: will I be anal enough to limit myself to what some company says is legal (in the deteriorating constitutionally-questionable legal system in my country [USA]) or do I just do what's ethical.
