Heard of Pale Moon a couple times, never looked into it much. But if FF is going to is going to prevent my favorite extensions, like Tree Style Tabs, from working soon I figure I better start looking soon. So far so good with Pale Moon, been using it all of 10 minutes and other than the default color its just like FF was when I last liked it.

Ditto.

I also have had 1 and 1 for well over 10 years, and have never had a problem. And, I have also never missed a payment. My credit card did expire one me one year. They sent me an email informing they had tried to bill me and couldn't, and gave me a bit of a grace period (a week I think). I paid it immediately and never lost service. Now, I hardly do anything on there any more, it's all static crap except for my step-father's business site. Well, that's pretty static too but doesn't quite fall into the "crap" category. The only other service I have experience with is GoDaddy, and that was just to help a friend who had hosted there. The problems I had there were in no way GoDaddy's fault, so I would think you will be safe there as well. If it is just a simple site to have some content out there, I'd say you have plenty of options and just need to pick one. Now, once you get into running your own servers and such, best to listen to these fine Slashdot folks and then do some more homework on your own.

Hey, give the guy a break. He is not an idiot, "just a regular software writer or farmer".

he, he, you said "cooler". I see what you did there!

Ditto from Omaha.

What I do if I find a site that might be interesting is subscribe to their RSS feed, that is free. All you get is a summary, but after hitting it for a few days/weeks/months I get a feel for if the subject matter will keep me interested. It's certainly not fool proof, but help weed out some places. For instance, I am doing this right now with Rivals.com. I am thinking about subscribing to get more in-depth news about my Iowa Hawkeyes. But I want to see how they spread the news across the different sports, as I am mainly interested in football and basketball. I have done this to help select some sites (pay sites and free sites), as well as weed out sites that sounded good or maybe had one interesting article, but then turned out to be mostly crap.

Holy crap, that is bad.

I can only speak from personal experience, but to me the big difference is that IBM is at least technically competent. I guess as an opponent of Obamacare I should be happy, as this will undoubtedly allow the problems to continue. But I feel for the people that may be depending/hoping for this to come together. Accenture? Really?

The article said it will live on the web, with weekly updates. I am pulling for them, but I too am skeptical of the viability of print for a product like this. Nostalgia is great, but it doesn't usually make money in the long run.

Yep. They just need a 3D printer and a really long cord.

OMG so true. Stop reading slashdot and read those reviews. Hilarious indeed!

"Exponential" growth? From 2008 to 2013 it "doubled in size". I'm no math wizard, but "exponential" does not quite seem appropriate here. Now, if we were talking about the size of my penis....

I have one of these as well. Been using it for over 10 years, still going strong.
