Hmm, having finally found where the free movies ARE -- you need XP to run them. Sounds like the formatting's really really picky....

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

Yes, that's MS IE 7 and Firefox for Windows running on a Mac desktop as if they were regular Mac apps.

thanks for the earthlink post above. I had been planning to drop earthlink for awhile (I only use it for dialup access and now that I can get the internet through the sim card on my phone, no need for dialup most places I go), but reading how several email messages didn't get through was a kick in the pants. I'm bailing.
So is it common these days for a web hosting company to not give you SSH access, but instead have you do all administration via web-based control pannel stuff?
Yes. I've had a few accounts where I had to request (and cursorily justify) the SSH. Always got it, though.
I wouldn't use an account if I didn't have SSH, even if I had to pay extra.
I've never had an account where it was an extra charge. They just didn't grant is as default.

Yep. I dropped a hosting provider because they refused to give it to me. The CS rep told me they'd lost a lot of customers becasue of the policy, but they were standing firm.
Anyone around who'd like to take a look at a website and give some opinions on layout, appeal, professionalism, etc.? My brother's fiancee's site - [link]
Um, don't worry about critiquing the text...
Thanks!
I like it. It's simple, uncluttered and has pretty girls! The only thing that made me think it could be more professional was that some of the border lines, especially around the drawing at the top, were not as clean as they could be. (I know nothing about web design)
