Hey guys, I'm looking for a webhost of good repute that has been in business for at least 5 years. Please include the obvious big name hosts as well--I've been away from the webhosting world long enough to have forgotten everything I once knew. I'm looking for a package that offers: at...

I've done this survey so many times, but I figured, what the heck, I'll do it again. And for the first time, I ended up leaning authoritarian for the first time (still a leftist, though). Economic Left/Right: -4.62 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 0.31

Wow, I haven't posted here in forever, but I guess I came just in time to catch this thread. I'm now going to college in the Northeast. Glad to see some familiar faces here after all these years.

Does Google have any way of checking to make sure that it really is spam and not some vengeful friend? :S

Hmm...why would BMW want to boost its rankings? Who doesn't know what a BMW is? :S

Quality food. :) And like our francophone here, Daniel, I also think of kitchen. :p

I am not defending how the Muslim world reacted, but you have to admit what the Europeans did was stupid. They knew this was coming. I don't understand what they were trying to achieve by printing these cartoons. Defending freedom of the press? Considering that you can't talk totally freely...

Unfortunately, it's not my government, and I don't think they care what a foreigner has to say. :S

Aren't they losing money? I thought it cost $6 to register a domain with ICANN. The only way they can hope to see profits is to charge exorbitant renewal fees.

I have never heard of such a thing happening. Although their firewall is one of the most sophisticated around, people work around it all the time, and they know that. The firewall is meant to prevent the average Joes--most of whom have no clue what a "proxy" is--from accessing potentially...

I can no longer access freewebspace.net without a proxy. I have run a traceroute, and it seems that the connection is being blocked by the gov't. Peo, do you have multiple IP addresses for FWS? Would it be possible to switch to a different IP to avoid the firewall? I don't see any harm in FWS...

Robert, thanks for your response. I have tried pinging the server, but the HTTP server has always worked fine. It's the HTTPS server that's been giving me problems. How do I ping an HTTPS site?

I'm not sure if this is relevant or not, but I live in China. I can access most HTTPS websites just fine. But there is this one website that never seemed to work on IE. I would get a 404 error every time I tried to access it. One day, I decided to access the same site through Firefox. It...

Hey Matt! Yeah, I haven't been on this forum in a while, but I dropped by because I needed to e-mail HostUltra about something. But good to see some familiar faces still around these parts. :-)

It's not so much an attack as a concerted effort to find a spot on the web where these losers can host their warez. There are many large warez forums in Asia, and yes, members on those forums scout FWS for new hosts that they can abuse. When someone finds it, they post it for all to see. Very...

I agree with Robert. What kind of police force in a country that prides itself on being "civilized" shoots suspected criminals in the head? The UK sounds more like a military junta with every passing day. :rolleyes:

What are you trying to show by juxtaposing 2% and 10%? Different traits appear in different frequencies in a population. And how do you know that homosexuals make up "about 2%" of the population? You are making a wild estimate, as is everybody else who claims to be the authority. I've heard...

Untrue. The Human Genome project has neither proven that homosexuality is genetic nor that it is not. I read in an Economist article that most biologists suspect is that it is genetic, but they have not been able to prove it.

Don't even get me started on that website. There will be a time and place when it's appropriate, but now is not that time. The issue is scientology; let's focus on that.

Your overuse and misuse of "strawman" is beginning to get quite tedious. Now, I'm sure you know the dictionary definition of a "strawman" as well as I do. But you've applied it incorrectly to so many situations. For example, Death Reaper asked, "you say that allowing homosexual marriage *will*...
