I know I'm on the outside with this, but I don't even think I'd want to program without an IDE anymore. Not only do they save time, but I find they also save MISTAKES which one of the most valuable things out there. For example, how many times have you had that one variable or reserved word misspelled by one character and it took you how long to find it?
I've been with GNAX / Net Depot for the last few years. You can co-locate there and the service has been rock solid apart from a lightning strike DIRECTLY on a transformer. But they have dual power inputs and gas backups on site. They're located in Atalanta.

Also, if you're looking for more info check out the Colo forum on Web Hosting Talk:
Now the next argument is going to be what exactly is "Caching" and when exactly does "caching" intrude on "net neutrality"?
Oh ya, should mention check out http://www.live365.com I found it the other day and had some decent channels from what I saw. TONS of genre's. You can pay for it if you don't want commercials as well.

I use the companies profiles on http://www.crunchbase.com and look in the left hand side under competitors.
Does anyone know what he meant by "55 domains to 'surround' truemors.com" ?
I think this is a good idea if it takes off. Being able to add billgates.tel to your various e-mail accounts and having your e-mail programs update your contacts daily and before you send an e-mail to that person would be incredibly helpful.
I just got my first smart phone yesterday and am having trouble trying to think of the best place to keep a 'master' copy of my contact records. This could easily solve that problem.
Now I could be wrong on this, but I believe that's at the EXTREME end of things, I would say with the way DNS is updated now it usually takes under an hour at most. At least that's my personal experience.
Maybe they will recommend the Microsoft Anti-Virus software when it's released next year ;)
I'd have to disagree with this. I think if the persona is serious about setting up a business they should spend the money to get it setup correctly to start off with. The reason for this is that it's a lot easier to do when you don't already have customers and you can take the time to do it properly.
One caveat though is of course it takes money to set it up properly. I think that in the long run though it will pay off big time.
I haven't used them but have heard good things:
Couple bonuses for me: - there's an API to use - easy to use - scalable pricing - they're Canadian
The really unfortunate part of this is that it's going to probably come with Windows Mobile 6.5. I'd never use it, but most people use whatever default browser they're given. After Firefox's success the last few years you'd think MS would want to put out a competitive browser on the mobile front, especially considering Opera's share!
It's amazing how many people think that flashy and fancy is more important than common sense which those 10 points were all about!
This article makes 3 very valid points about the way Canada is currently viewing the digital area in such a backwards way. There's other examples of CRTC negligence such as when they mandated the creation of a "Canadian" HBO since for some reason we couldn't get the stream directly from the US.
In the States they also have fiber installations going directly into the houses and I haven't even heard of anything like that here in Canada. ADSL has a "Max" package of 6mbps which is laughable, while the cable operator (Shaw) has one that's 25mbps however they charge $100/month! And that's just for Internet! This is the biggest annoyance to me personally as Canada used to be a leader in broadband availability but we've stayed with the same speed structure for the last 5+ years and are falling faster and faster behind the leading nations.
With the new frequencies available for wireless bandwidth hopefully we'll see some new competition in the cell phone sector as it's desperately needed!
Here's the deal I've currently arranged with Telus. This is after much haggling as well as the fact I've been a customer for 3 years already. The deals OK, but nothing like in the states. The thing that really pisses me off is the system access fee!
19.3 - 200 daytime mintues, unlimited evenings @ 5pm & unlimited weekends // $7 - 2500 text // $25 - unlimited data // $15 - unlimited long distance (Canada + US) // free - unlimited incomning // free - vm3 / call display
Plan Total: $66.3
Plus: $7.5 - System access fee // $.5 - 911 fee // $3.72- Tax
Grand Total: $77.30
