I use Webfaction and I LOVE IT.

I see a lot apps using MediaTemple, they seem to have a solid track record.

Thanks for the suggestion. Yes, those type of events would be a great idea. I hadn't thought about that.

Thanks for the advice. Solid. Much appreciated.

This is a serious question. Please...I would appreciate serious answers.

I haven't seen it before, but it's a fantastic time waster.

I dare say it may be more interesting than StumbleUpon?????

I don't run a Twitter follower sales scam. But I've had personal experience with it, and here's why you see this:

Yes, those accounts ARE fake. No doubt about it. And they keep tweeting and re-tweeting each other because part of the requirements on buying Twitter followers is that you want ACTIVE Twitter accounts. Accounts that are doing something on Twitter. So these Twitter bot accounts are fake AND they tweet fake garbage so that the Twitter automation software people run doesn't flag the account as fake or inactive. Thus you have a legitimate fake bot account you can use in your network if you're selling followers.

It doesn't make it ok, but it's the state of things online. Everyone wants followers. They want Facebook fans. They want likes, +1's, and re-tweets, and Web site traffic. All of which can be bought, and quite easily too.

If it did, it should go public and it's IPO would generate massive investments that it could use to get out of debt.

During the initial offering, a massive campaign could be put in place to show people that even with its faults, you can't have a world without the US government in place. The world needs it, depends on it.

That realization alone would be enough to make every investor realize that they HAVE to invest in the US gov't IPO and would guarantee the rise of the stock price.

I hope not as much as people say. Everyone pushed me for an MBA, but I passed and chose MS in Technology Management. An MBA would have kept me too far from the technology that I love and need to completely understand in order to be a more effective leader.

I completely agree with your feelings here. I, too, am a permanent resident with a green card. I live in fear of immigration deciding that "something isn't in order" and then my life is completely upside down. I've grown up in the US, my wife is a US citizen, my kids are all US citizens, yet dad always has that crazy worry in the back of his mind.

AND...for those of you who brush this off. Please contact my wife and ask her feelings about immigration. When I was going through my green card process she just about went nuts at the immigration office and destroyed a few of the workers. Eventually she had to stop coming to the appointments and just wished me luck. She is more frustrated with the process than I am.

The problem is that we're talking about immigrants here. No one is going to stand up for them. Citizens never have to deal with the these issues, and most immigrants, once they've gone through the process, never want to look back on it again, let alone try to fight it.
