Serious Vulnerability In Firefox 2.0.0.12
Oh, Not Now writes "Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.12, mere hours old, is vulnerable by default to a directory traversal trick, via the view-source mechanism. Although mitigated by the NoScript plug-in, this is quite a serious bug — the default installation is vulnerable from the get-go."
Your sig is an advertisement. Do you know that it reflects poorly upon you and ruins the integrity of your posts?
Why?
Good, inexpensive web hosting
Because 1and1.com hosting does not have a very good reputation and you have just associated yourself with them through an endorsement. Do a Google search for 1and1.com sucks. Most 5,330 results are not happy with 1and1.com and I also think they suck. I have gone with a different hosting service because I had problems with them. That is why. My new hosting service is great, but I will not prostitute myself for them in forums.
So you don't like them. Fine. Don't use them. I'm quite happy with them and if I can get an occasional commission by pointing somebody their way, why shouldn't I?

Because of the reason the grandparent post pointed out: it lowers your credibility. Both in that someone might try them due to your recommendation and get burned, or that they've been burned in the past and think "hey, this guy actually likes them? anything else he likes is probably just as bad"
As someone who got burned by them (had to threaten legal action to get them to stop demanding money and actually cancel my 'free' account), I know I wouldn't trust someone vouching for them. It's not like how some people got crappy xbox360's that died in a few hours and some people got perfectly fine ones, with 1and1 its more some people get fucked over intentionally and hard, and others just haven't gotten there yet.
Pain lasts, kid. Its how you know you're alive. Sometimes I think this growing up thing is just pain management-TheMaxx
