Last I heard it was 100$ per year, but that may just be Beta. I heard some talk of charging for the account. Mainly due to that fact that their advertisement concept is being beaten down upon by the public.
For the price they want, I could still run my own server. It costs probably 100 a year for a server that can hold easily more than One Gigabyte in email\storage. There is no practical use for the account anyway that there isn't already a cheaper solution for.
LOL... thanks. I still have some typo errors. When I initally setup this site, I probably did it in a few hours. Still working out the early kinks and typos. Thanks:)

First off, the index of that site handles content. That is all (I made it). Second, I could care less how obscure the links are. Bookmark it, or go to the site. All pages in my site (so far) are only three links deep. Second, if you are a secure scriptor in the first place, you will never run into any of those issues. Also, why does my code need to be clear to someone else ? I am the one using it, and if it is not clear to a Hacker, I have no problems.

Well, understandable URLs can actually be a problem. I point out a tutorial on Uberhacker.Com that actually shows why it is. If someone is able to look at a URL and "understand" it, you can do quite a bit of damage. For example :
somesite.com/index.php?cmd=del&msg=456
From looking at this somewhat "memorable" URL, it is easy to see what it does. Also, if the particular site has no protection with it's delete command, it would be easy to reak havoc across the site.

You sound a bit disgruntled. First off, the Gauntlete challenge is to promote secure scripting, something that is nearly nonexistant on the internet today. Second, routing everything through the index is more efficent, secure, and organized. And third, I would never spam any site about Uberhacker.Com . I have talked to people about it, and the site was posted on Slashdot, that is all. You need to learn a bit more before you open your mouth.

I run http://www.uberhacker.com . This site is dedicated to secure PHP programming. It is better to program secure rather than limit coding abilities. Secure programming allows for a wider range of scripts and security.
While SpamCop may be a good thing, somebody was bound to complain. Here is a concept though, everyone learns how to track down the spammers ISP and kick them off it.
There is no doubt that Google is the most popular search engine on the market today, however, is it the best ? Or has it just won a popularity contest ? Many use Google purely because others do. It is not that the technology is better, it is just that it has a much higher user rate, which allows it's results to be far better.
Just in, Microsoft has now patented it's users ! The Copyright Department of the US Gov. issued this copyright after it's head offical recieved an "anonymus" gift of 25,000,000,000. Microsoft claims patenet on it's users due to the fact it has integrated idiots across the nation into it's system, and they can't fuction without it:P
Increased Network Integrity over Wi-Fi would be nice. I know quite a few people who have had to resort to a CanTenna to get anysort of signal in their home.
Microsoft will not survive if it keeps making larger and larger demands of the hardware market. People, Businesses, Universities, and others will not be able to afford to upgrade their systems to use Longhorn. Not to mention they will lose their largest market, PC manufactures who make up the majority of their business.
You can circumvent the use of a Gas Plasma Antenna, and cost by using a simple Parabolic Antenna. It is just as effective with direction reception and broadcasting, which is all a Gas Plasma antenna can do. And being able to alter reception directions quickly does very little for security, possibly a bit of convienience, but I would like to save my money for other things.
All most people need for their security is a simple firewall. I like Tiny Personal Firewall personally. The only other thing is to use common sense. If anyone is interested in PHP or SQL security, check out http://www.uberhacker.com/
Hopefully a majority of the bugs have been worked out. I have been using a the last distro of Knoppix as a rescue disk, and Linux Introduction tool for a while. I have never felt so embarrassed when I talk up Linux so much, and Knoppix fails.

Right, you figured me out. I actually farm out work to unsuspecting PHP newbs. You have ruined my ambitions at a successfull enterprise:P Come on, I could easily write an article submition script, not that difficult. That is why I chose such an idea for the first challenge. And about the configuration, ever consider that it may be a bit difficult to host these scripts on the site if I can't configure them ? Oh and those crazy specs. Again, think for a few seconds. It does help to have standards and rules for a challenge. If the scripts are nothing alike, then it would not be a fair or accurate challenge.
First off, register_globals is commonly used by the PHP coding community. It is a very usefull tool, and a very dangerous one. I impliment it on the site because it IS used widley. You can't simply ignore it. The reason why/cgi-bin/ is used is due to the server design, not the specific scripting. Rember, assumptions make an ass out of you and me.
The Nature of the languages can be weak. One of PHP's most usefull and widley used features are register globals. I agree that sites would be more secure without them, however they are used. Therefore I will impliment them in the site so people can work with them. You can't lay oblivious to the world when making scripts, register_globals are very usefull.
I run Uberhacker.Com, the reason why there are so few articles on the site is because I have had about two months to put it together. I am trying now to get more up there, but I have school daily. I am not making excuses, but that is the main reason why.
