http://www.namecheap.com/ is getting lots of recommendations on the slashdot article about this. I haven't used them. They also do SSL certs.

back_by_demandThe users need all the help they can get, if MS didn't do this they would get slated, they did do this and they are being slated again.They just can't win against the fanbois.MS can win, they just have to stop contracting with and publishing reports from companies like NSS Labs...

The MAFIAA and their lawyers are completely daft if they think it's possible to disconnect Google from the internet. Data centers world wide, more bandwidth than anyone, more connections and interconnects than anyone. Might as well try to disconnect our solar system from the Milky Way galaxy.

Let's see, a 4.1" phone with a 1GHz ARM CPU, a 7" tablet with only a 600MHz ARM CPU, both with Android 2.2. A 10" tablet with an Atom dual booting Win7 and Android 1.6. All called the ViewPad. While you should get binary compatibility between the 4" and 7" models, it makes no sense that the 7"...

Or, you can simply use gloves that work with capacitive touch screens, such as Agloves, or adapt your existing gloves using conductive thread Instructables

dennisburkeSales tax should be S#&t Canned entirely. A progressive income tax is the way to go. I disagree completely. Personal income tax should go away completely and sales tax should be much higher. It's far more efficient (i.e. less costly and easier to administer) to collect sales tax from...

jmu03182you yanks do have a stange system. online purchases aren't from businesses in some mystical wonderland exempt from taxes. its just another method of ordering. do you pay tax when phone somewhere and order something? of course. the internet is just a different way of ordering a product...

Kahless01again too many of you confusing addiction and obsession. they are different. read a book. we need more crimes punishable by death. and a quick death not 20-40 years on death row then die. 20-40 days then die.Move to Texas. We actually execute people we sentence to death, most within...

stevo777Why is it that we have to keep paying taxes to detain these rejects. Because lynch mobs and vigilante crews are frowned upon.

Quick, sue Zynga (FarmVille's publisher), it's the American way. I mean, clearly Zynga acted with reckless disregard for the welfare of her family by designing such an addictive game. And the subliminal messages it conveys clearly caused her to do this. Besides, Zynga has money and their stock...

chriskrumThere's no common sense being exercised here. If we're worried that the pilot is going to sneak a bomb through security and pass it off to another plane then it's time to give up. Ground all planes and take the bus. Common sense in government??? Surely you jest. But seriously, a...

chrisjust98Did you even watch the video and read what it said at the beginning? Or can you even read? It said that in October their instruments were stolen. That's just part of the back story made up for the video. Their instruments were not stolen. CNN has an article with more info.

victomofrealityBetting it was a planned publicity stunt though... Of course it was a publicity stunt, and a pretty clever one. They had 3 people filming it for them, I'm sure that wasn't coincidental. You can bet they rehearsed it quite a few times before actually doing it on the subway.

BungwaI am by far NOT an Apple fan, but if this video is real(not doctored in any way)this is guys have some true talent.I can see Apple picking this up for an Ad. According to the CNN article on this, Apple is talking to this band's label/management after seeing the video on youtube.
