I was talking/chatting online and my mates were talking about a dating website they had been on. One of them did not seem to have any luck and the other tried to help.
Bob:
Are you meeting many people off this dating website?
Sam:
Some. Why?
Bob:
Just wondering if anyone is actually having success.
Sam:
Are you getting any phone numbers at all?
Bob:
A few, but the conversations do not seem to go much further.
Sam:
What is the first thing you do when you get their cellphone/mobile
number?
Bob:
Well, I usually text them so they know my phone number.
Sam:
And then what do you do? normally?
Bob:
Just text them a few times, give them a call about Thursday to find out
what they are doing in the weekend.
Sam:
Just hang with me here, and I will see what the difference of what you
do and what I do is... So what happens between you ringing them and
them not replying?
Bob:
Usually ring on Thursday, then they usually text back and say they have
had a better offer and dont hear back
Sam:
A better offer? So do you go for the ones that want a one night stand
or go for the ones that want a relationship? (are they looking for
friendship/relationships/sex or love?)
Bob:
I just message anyone.
Sam:
Well the tips I would offer you are:
Just because they gave you their phone number, doesn't mean that you need to give them yours straight away. If you send them a text with in the same week, they see that you are eager. If you don't use their phone number at all, they will wonder what mistake they made. People want what they can't have. If they know they can easily have you, then you are not what they want most.
Lastly - Go for a long term relationship... The girls like that more and you don't have to keep looking all the time.
For the people who do not know Alexa.com it may sound like some dirty site with seedy undertones, but this site is safe to visit at work. The foundation of Alexa is a toolbar that users install on their web browsers and results provided by Google.
The Alexa tool bar has been looked down upon for some time due to its data mining capabilities. All of the data that makes Alexa what it is, is collected through this toolbar. Since 1996, web surfers have been showing Alexa what sites they visit, how often and other non-identifiable (Really?) data that others may find of interest. This data is then compiled into Related Links and Traffic Rankings to be in turn offered to people who visit the Alexa site, use the toolbar or are willing to pay for it.
Alexa has often been classified as spyware as it records what websites its' users view. This is untrue as it states far down in the depths of its policies what its' intentions are. The tool bar is though, the closest software can get to being spyware, without being spyware in the full sense of the term.
Many people ask "How accurate are the Alexa Traffic Rankings?" and the truth is that it can vary with the size of the site. The more visitors a site gets, the more likely their Traffic Rank is a true indication of where they are compared to other sites.
The Traffic Ranking provided by Alexa is 100% determined by how many times your sites is visited by people who have the tool bar installed. The problem with this is that not all user have the tool bar installed and the main users of it are webmasters and others in the net related field. This small niche of people can provided skewed results that only reflect their industry.
Another problem that arises from the way Alexa rankings are collected is the possibility of the results being manipulated by other webmasters. It has been shown that over a period of a few weeks, you can change your sites ranking just by having the toolbar installed and visiting your site regularly.
It could be possible that Alexa could reduce the accuracy of their results, without external influences. When a new site features on the Alexa site as a "Top Mover and Shaker", many people would investigate what the site is about, causing its ranking to rise.
Overall, I would say that the rankings are fairly accurate for the top 1000 sites.
As the Traffic Rankings are more accurate with higher traffic sites, the traffic rankings can be used to compare similar sites, or what sites are the most visited. For example Alexa can tell you that the top five sites are:
Similar top site lists can show you what sites receive the most traffic in their category.
The euphonium is the tenor member of the tuba family. It is a valved brass instrument whose bore constantly increases in size from the valve section to the bell - this is called "conical bore", as distinguished from "cylindrical bore" instruments which maintain a constant tubing diameter for a greater portion of the instrument's total length. The euphonium plays in the same range of pitches as the trombone, but its cylindrical bore gives it a more mellow, "rounder" sound compared to the "brassier" sound of a trombone.
Invented by Adolphe Sax, the euphonium is thus a saxhorn.
Other instruments essentially similar to the euphonium include the American-style baritone horn, the British baritone (which is more cylindrical and trombone-like than the American baritone), and the Germany baryton and tenorhorn. All trace their descent to the serpent. A unique American creation was the double-belled euphonium, which featured a second, smaller bell and an extra valve allowing the player to use that bell instead of the main bell. The second bell had a more trombone-like sound.
The euphonium is not often used by symphony orchestras,(its most notable use being its part in Holst's Planets Suite) so its main venues are various wind bands, such as school bands, brass bands, marching bands, and military bands, where it is frequently featured as a solo instrument. The name "euphonium" comes from the Greek for "beautiful-sounding". As the musician Billy Joel wrote, "It's either sadness or euphonium."
Aleatoric music (also known as aleatory, indeterministic, or chance music) is music where some element of the composition is left to chance, or some primary element of a composed work's realization is left to the determination of its performer(s). The composer's creative input to the outcome of a piece is either greatly reduced or even removed completely. 'Creative input' includes melody, harmony, instrumentation, or even logical arrangement.
In aleatory music the players are encouraged to choose the sequence of movements, sections or individual chords and notes, or to improvise on a pattern or idea suggested by the composer--for example, in Ligeti's Aventures, on letters of the alphabet, and in Lutoslawski's Preludes and Fugue, on a series of lines, squares and triangles. Thus, the result differs from player to player and from performer to performer. Aleatory music is, in conception, similar to both Far Eastern art music and to jazz and rock, all of which involve improvisation, on an agreed basis, as a feature of the performance.
The term became known to European composers through lectures by acoustician Werner Meyer-Eppler at Darmstadt Summer School in the beginning of the 1950s. According to his definition, "aleatoric processes are such processes which have been fixed in their outline but the details of which are left to chance".
Among examples of aleatory music, Klavierstück XI (1956) by Karlheinz Stockhausen features 19 elements to be performed in changing sequences, certain orchestral works of Witold LutosÅ‚awski from after 1959 contain music where the orchestral ensemble is not precisely dictated, and in some works by Krzysztof Penderecki characteristic sequences are repeated quickly, producing a kind of oscillating sound.
Google has made the latest step towards making the Internet into a semantic web with its release of its sitemap protocol.
"The Sitemap Protocol allows you to inform search engine crawlers about URLs on your Web sites that are available for crawling. A Sitemap consists of a list of URLs and may also contain additional information about those URLs, such as when they were last modified, how frequently they change, etc." - Google
One of the main benefits of the Sitemap Protocol is the possibility of allowing search engines such as Google to see the most recent URLs created or modified that are only available from behind a form. This so called "invisible net" is currently unavailable to most search engines and may contain information that is not available anywhere else on the Internet.
Another reason that Google is implementing its' Sitemap Protocol is to be able to find updated pages faster. This could mean that updated pages being indexed by Google the same day as their release, instead of a month latter in some cases. Although this could be achieved through Google crawling every page on site every day, this is nearly impossible and the Sitemap Protocol should be an alternative to this.
I can see that with the Sitemap Protocol, Google could have 2 types of crawls in the future:
The first possible benefit to websites is the saving of bandwidth. If Google crawled more often to achieve the save result as they would with theSitemap Protocol a lot of a websites bandwidth would be wasted.
The Google Sitemap Protocol seems to be of a benefit to larger sites than small sites. Google states that "Using this protocol does not guarantee that your Web pages will be included in search indexes. In addition, using this protocol may not influence the way your pages are ranked by a search engine.". The main benefit the Sitemaps to websites is the possibility of getting updated pages into Googles index quicker.
Not just Google stands to benefit from Googles' Sitemap Protocol as there are many alternative uses for the Sitemap files. One possible application for the Sitemap files is an RSS Feed replacement. Many RSS feeds are now used to tell visitors with RSS readers that posts have been added to a forum or that articles have been added to a website. An RSS reader alternative could use the Sitemap files to find the latest updated files and use aspects of the updated page to provide a similar service to an RSS feed.
Like the horn, the mellophone has three valves. However, the valves are pressed with the right hand for mellophone, instead of the left for a concert horn. Also, although some of the mellophone fingerings are the same as those of the concert horn, they generally resemble trumpet fingerings more than horn fingerings. Mellophones are typically pitched in the key of F, like concert horns.
The main reason that the mellophone is used in place of the concert horn for marching is the weight of the concert horn, which makes it all but impossible to march with. The mellophone is also a bell-front instrument, so that the sound goes in the direction that the player is facing. This is especially important in drum corps-style marching, in which the audience is typically standing or sitting on only one side of the band. The direction of the bell, as well as the much-reduced amount of tubing (as compared to a concert horn) makes the mellophone look like a large trumpet. In fact, most mellophones use trumpet-style parabolic ("cup") mouthpieces rather than the smaller, lighter, conical ("funnel") mouthpieces used on concert horns.
Naming issuesAlthough the terms mellophone and marching French horn are often used interchangeably, these are actually two different instruments. The marching French horn is typically larger than the mellophone, plays in the key of B flat, and uses french horn fingerings and mouthpieces.
Having a girl flake on you is one of the most annoying things. You make a date with the girl of your dreams and you have things set. You have made sure that everything will be perfect. You have:
Yet she still does not turn up.
There is one key quality that women look for in a guy more often than anything else:
Independence
Women are looking for a man to be a partner, not a child (or dependent). There is a big difference between them.
So the real question is, are you trying to be more of a child or partner to her?
Before you start claiming that you are independent, here are some things that a dependent person would say:
Now here are the same things but from a person that has independence:
When it comes down to it, women go on dates because they want to see if you are who they are looking for. As soon as you constantly display a lack of independence or value her opinion over your own, she starts to see you as a dependent person. As she does not find dependent people attractive, she knows you are not the one.
Your lack of independence has scared her off!
Some things to try are:
In the end, if she still flakes:
SmileCity got started on Mar 29, 2003, and has not changed very much since, except for its growing popularity.
Personally I do not see what all the fuss it about. SmileCity seems to be a cheesy site, with bad rewards, and builds it success on people who do not know how much their time is worth.
"I have been a resident at smilecity for 2 months now... I really enjoy coming here and chatting with people from all over NZ."
"Great, fun, exciting, new to me, cool, interesting, great information, cool people, great offers!"
"SmileCity is a growing community. As it expands in scope and size, it'll become an integral part of many Kiwis' Net surfing experiences. I love being part of it!"
The saxhorn family of valved brass instruments was named after Adolphe Sax, who did much to bring it to its present day form. His claim to have invented the instrument was hotly contested by other brass instrument makers during his lifetime.
The saxhorn is a brass instrument with a characteristic tapered bore and deep cup-shaped mouthpiece. The sound blends elements of other brass families, such as trumpets and horns. The modern flugelhorn, tenor horn (alto horn in the US), euphonium, and tuba are current developments of this family, although some argue that theseform part of a separate tuba family.
Developed during the mid to late 1830s, the saxhorn family was patented in Paris in 1845. Like the saxophone group they were designed for band use and pitched alternately in Bb and Eb. During the mid-1850s Sax continued to experiment with the saxhorn's valve pattern; eventually the family consisted of more than ten models of different sizes.
Saxhorns were popularized by the distinguished Distin Quintet, who toured Europe during the mid-nineteenth century. This family of musicians, publishers and instrument manufacturers had a significant impact on the growth of the brass band movement in Great Britain during the mid-to late-1800s.
A contemporary work featuring this instrument is Desire Dondeyne's "Tubissimo", for bass tuba or saxhorn and piano (1983).
Women are attracted to the alpha male stereo type. They like their guys to have a healthy amount of self-confidence and some element of humour. This is where the brilliance of a cocky and funny line comes in. It tells the girls, "Hey, I have confidence" and "I know how to have fun".
You are not aiming to upset the girl, but rather get her attention by teasing her. Showing you are the alpha male and acting funny in such a way that it ignites the magical challenge and attraction mechanism.
The idea here is to show that you're VERY confident with yourself and are going to make fun of her every chance you get (not annoy - TEASE). You're also going to be funny so that she laughs and doesn't get turned off.
Too cocky and you will come off as arrogant and insecure only
Just funny, always telling jokes, and making people laugh, and you will probably come across as "too goofy".A lot of the magic in saying a cocky and funny line to a girl is in the presentation. The girls can spot a beginner using a pre-rehearsed line a mile away. Usually it is the big "I don't do this often" grin on a guys face, or the "I am ready to run" body language.
When people are nervous or shy, often the first thing they start to do is start talking faster or quieter. To pull of a good presentation you need to look laid back, and be confident in what you are saying. Dramatic pauses are an example of how good presentation can add to the effect.You can not use the cocky and funny routine all the time. If you do, she will think that you can not be serious, or be offended / put down by your cocky remarks.
Cocky and funny works well as a starting line, and is great to throw into a conversation every now and then to keep her on her toes.The one thing that you do not want to do when using a cocky and funny line is to crack. It is not unusual for a cocky and funny line to prompt a response or look such as "I can't believe you just said that".
The worst thing you can do in this situation is admit defeat. Defeat is saying "Oh, I was just kidding". Instead another cocky and funny line may be in order. Just make sure that you tone the cocky side of it down the second time, if she took offence to it the first time.
PUTTY is a client program for the SSH, Telnet and Rlogin network protocols.
These protocols are all used to run a remote session on a computer, over a network. PuTTY implements the client end of that session: the end at which the session is displayed, rather than the end at which it runs.
In really simple terms: you run PuTTY on a Windows machine, and tell it to connect to (for example) a Unix machine. PuTTY opens a window. Then, anything you type into that window is sent straight to the Unix machine, and everything the Unix machine sends back is displayed in the window. So you can work on the Unix machine as if you were sitting at its console, while actually sitting somewhere else.

The sousaphone is a musical instrument named after John Philip Sousa, the famous marching band conductor and composer.
It was invented in the 1890s to replace tubas in marching bands: in a concert, the tuba is traditionally held on the musician's lap with the bell pointed upward. In marching, however, the musician must hold the tuba in his hands. This proves very difficult due to the weight and shape of the tuba.
The sousaphone is a valved brass instrument with the same tube length as a tuba, but shaped differently so that the bell is above the head, the valves are situated directly in front of the musician a few inches above the waist, and the majority of the weight rests on one shoulder. Thus, the sousaphone can be carried far more easily than a traditional concert tuba, but sounds very similar.
In recent years, sousaphones have been available made of fiberglass instead of brass. The tone is slightly inferior to the brass instrument, but the weight is much less, the cost is lower, and the sound is still acceptable in virtually any marching band performance.
(Not you, yah wuss)
Most guys assume that if they are taking a girl out for dinner, they need to pay. This is not true, and buying dinner can have a negative impact on your chances with your date.
Here is what one girl was saying recently.
Should
the
guy pay for dinner?
I don't know... I kinda feel bad with him
paying. Is he supposed to? I don't want to make him feel bad?
Now this is a good example as it points out 2 emotions that you do not want the girl to feeling:
The quote above has a good example of pity, saying that “I kinda feel bad with him paying”. This is a bad emotion to be giving any date.
The problem with pity is that it puts her status above you. This is nearly like saying “I am not worthy”.
If she is quite a caring girl, the act of you paying will make her feel as if she owes you something. You have gone through all this effort to arrange a date and you are now paying. She knows what most males would like to happen, and if there is no connection, she will try to leave the date at the first suitable moment.
Don't pay on the first date, this is often what she expects and by not paying, she notices that you are not like the usual guys. When you pay on the 5th or 6th dates, she will start thinking “Ooo he might like me” rather than “This is how dates are done”.
This does not mean that you should start paying for all the dates. Paying for her should be once in a blue moon, and give her a rush of emotion strong enough for her to get 'high' on.
One way to make things a bit more interesting is to just do what she does not expect you to do. If she expects you pay for it, you pay half. If she gets her wallet out first, you pay for the both of you.
IMMS is an adaptive play list framework that tracks your listening patterns and dynamically adapts to your taste. Currently plug-ins for XMMS and Beep Media Player are available.
It's major features include:
Anyone who has a large collection of music knows how difficult it is to manage. There are always some songs that are just not as good as the rest, and for some reason they always seem to come on. Simply deleting them might not a good solution. What if you come to like some of them later? What if you share your music collection with somebody else and they happen to like them? What if you are just too lazy to go through every single song and decide if you like it?
I love IMMS. It is great to at least have the music on you computer know what you what. The only thing that it does not do is find new music for your collection that matches your tastes.
"A must have".
History of the Shofar
Construction of the Shofar
The shofar is a magnificent musical horn that was developed by the ancient Hebrews. This was never a folk instrument nor considered a classical instrument. It was, and is, a ceremonial item. It was used during holy rites, to call assembly or signal a sacrifice. The shofar was also used in battle. The ancient Hebrews used the shofar as a call to war. They believed that the sound would panic their enemies. The sound of the shofar also announced the Jubilee year.
Today, this ancient trumpet of Israel is used in both Jewish and Christian worship. It is most closely associated with the Jewish Holy days of Rosh Hashana (New Years) also called Yom Teru'ah (the day of blowing), and Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement). Outside of these religions it is not uncommon to find the shofar used in holistic ceremonies or rites associated with the earth elements.
The ancient Hebrew shofar was made of animal horn. It was originally made from the horn of a domestic ram. These horns are relatively smooth, crescent shaped and usually just over a foot in length. The Talmud specifies that a shofar must be not less than three hand-breadths long to be used for ceremonial purposes. Other horns used would have included those of domestic sheep and goat, wild mountain goat, antelope, or gazelle. The domestic sheep and goat horns would have been similar to the rams’ horn, only smaller. Today, the wild Nubian ibex goats still dot the Israeli hill sides. The horns of these mountain goats are much longer than rams’ horns. The ibex horn grows with the familiar crescent curve. The silhouette of this horn is more striking that the rams’ due to the large protruding ridges that wrap around the horn along its entire length. The most striking horn, and today most desirable, comes from the Kudu antelope. Kudu horns are very long, most are over 30 inches. Their beauty comes from their length and the way the horn twists.
Kudu antelopes are native to southern Africa. They are a wild free ranging animal that is incredibly beautiful. Their ability to jump over 9 feet (2.5 m) has created some difficulties for the local farmers whose fences are not always tall enough. An adult male kudu can have horns that reach up to 66 inches (168 cm). For the antelope, these horns are much more than decorative. Antelope use their horns during play and, more importantly, during competitive matches with other antelope. A natural horn will often show the signs of these fights. As the kudu horn grows it becomes longer and twists in a helix pattern. A single horn can have color that varies from light tan, to dark gray-black. The growth patterns and texture add interest.
The tekiah and teruah sounds mentioned in the Bible were respectively bass and treble. The tekiah was a plain deep sound ending abruptly; the teruah, a trill between two tekiahs. These three sounds, constituting a bar of music, were rendered three times: first in honor of God's Kingship; next to recall the near sacrifice of Isaac, in order to cause the congregation to be remembered before God; and a third time to comply with the precept regarding the shofar.
Ten appropriate verses from the Bible were recited at each repetition, which ended with a benediction. Over time doubts arose as to the correct sound of the teruah. The Talmud is uncertain whether it means an outcry or a moaning sound. The former was supposed to be composed of three connected short sounds; the latter, of nine very short notes divided into three disconnected or broken sounds. The duration of the teruah is equal to that of the shevarim; and the tekiah is half the length of either. This doubt as to the nature of the real teru'ah, whether it was simply an outcry or a moan, or both, necessitated two repetitions to make sure of securing the correct sound, the following formula, consisting of ten sounds, resulting:
teki'ah, shebarim-teru'ah, teki'ah; teki'ah, shebarim, teki'ah; teki'ah, teru'ah, teki'ah. This formula was repeated twice, making thirty sounds for the series. The last teki'ah was prolonged and was called "teki'ah gedolah" = the "long teki'ah." This series of thirty sounds was repeated twice, making ninety sounds in all. The trebling of the series was based on the mention of teru'ah three times in connection with the seventh month (Lev. xxiii, xxv; Num. xxix), and also on the above-mentioned division into malkiyot, zikronot, and shofarot. In addition a single formula of ten sounds is rendered at the close of the service, making a total of 100 sounds.
The idea of busting her balls is not as violent as it sounds. It is really about about acting like she is an old buddy of yours and showing off your confidence and sense of humour.
The easiest way to start is to call her names. Do not even think about names like sweetheart, honey and darling. Your names need to be different from all the other guys and show confidence and that cocky attitude. You need to call her names like:
First find something to mock and criticise her about it. Like something
Once you have found something, give an exaggerated response, like an mouth-open, eyebrows-raised look. Another way is to say something that will make her give you a snobbish, mouth-opened, eye-popped out look. Make her tell you "I can't believe you just said that."
The idea of busting her balls is not to upset her. Do not even think about referring to her weight, or any similar topic that women are sensitive about. In the end you are trying to have a fun time with her, if she can't laugh it off, then think twice before saying it.
Hot women are used to guys being smitten with them. To them, the usual guy is the one that does not look at her above her neck, agrees with everything she says, and gives her what she wants. Hot girls are so bored with guys doing anything for them that they want something new, some type of substance, something different. Give it to them. Tease them about their clothes or their jewellery. Don't be worried about offending them.
Segment Publishing is a Sydney, Australia-based company who specialize in standards-compliant web development and FreeBSD-powered web hosting.
From my first impression, I was wary of Segment Publishing as this was the first web host that I had used outside of New Zealand. Soon all my worries were put to rest when I realized that they have thought of every thing. They are more secure that other host I have used.
When I inquired if they had some specific PHP modules, their one worded reply was "Yes". This was such a relief to me.
What I found more impressive latter is that they can sometimes solve my problems within 7 minutes over email... Their support is spot on.
I will see how they go through next year.

A serpent is a wind instrument with a mouthpiece like a brass instrument but side holes like a woodwind instrument. It is a long cone bent into a snakelike shape, hence the name. The serpent is closely related to the cornett. It is generally made out of wood, with walnut being a particularly popular choice. Despite this and the fact that it has fingerholes rather than valves, it is usually classed as a brass, rather than a woodwind, instrument. The Hornbostel-Sachs scheme of musical instrument classification places it alongside trumpets.
On early models, the fingerholes were keyless, like ona recorder. Later models, however, add keys, as on a clarinet. The range varies according to the instrument and the player, but typically covers an octave either side of middle C. Some documents from the 18th century, however, state that the instrument can reach notes over two octaves above middle C.
It is thought that the instrument was first used to strengthen the sound of choirs in plainchant. Around the middle of the 18th century, it began to be used in military bands, but was replaced in the 19th century by valved brass instruments. Since then, it has hardly been used at all, although many original models still survive, and it is sometimes played as part of historically authentic performances.
A variation on the serpent was the bass horn, which is essentially the same, but is simpler in shape, consisting of a tube folded back on itself (rather like the modern bassoon), rather than the curvy shape of the original instrument.
A later variation was the ophimonocleide, a sort of cross between the bass horn and the ophicleide. It was never common, and today only a few examples of it exist.
A coffee date (or "drinks") is a common style of first dates made popular by the increase of people meeting through online dating. It is great to use when you have never seen the other party or you are unsure if you will click with her.
If you are setting up one of your friends to go on a blind date, make it a coffee date or something similar. This will keep both parties relaxed as they most likely are out of their comfort zones just with the idea of a blind date.
Many guys go out of their way to think up fun things to do on the first date, only to find that there is no connection, or she is not what he thought she was. The coffee date makes for easy escape if things go wrong and you should really save the fun ideas for dates later on.
There is only really one place to have a coffee date and that is the most convenient coffee shop, cafe or Starbucks. The coffee shop is the best place as it is a public location for a coffee date where both you and her can feel safe. The public aspect to it helps calm down the nerves of both parties allowing for a relaxed conversation.
As you do not know the other party well if not at all, you should not expect to pay for their coffee. If you did pay for her coffee and show your financially frivolous side, you will be giving her the expectation that you will pay on all following dates. Make paying for her more of a treat rather than the normal thing, and it will mean more to her when you do.
The problem with many other fun things you can do on dates is that they are all time consuming. They do not allow for either party to cut the date short if things do not go to plan or if they are not what you were looking for.
You should head into a coffee date with the expectation that it will not last any longer than one hour. Any longer and you run the risk of running out of things to say or becoming boring.
Once your coffee date is over, you both leave and reflect on the coffee date. If you feel it was a success you should start thinking about a second date.
When I first started looking at GoDaddy.com for hosting my site I found that there seemed to be one common opinion.
I found this to be quite true. Their website seems very cluttered and takes a long time to load. You will find that other companies offer better web-hosting at cheaper prices. If you are wanting your domain details to stay private as well, then Dreamhost.com is cheaper for domains as well.
I found that GoDaddy was not the cheapest web-host. Although the price looks good, they suck you in with additional deals and every little thing you need is an extra cost.
Their web-hosting is rather slow and I would recommend Dreamhost.com instead.
One of the biggest problems I had was with intermittent 500 Internal Server Errors. As these errors were intermittent, they were very hard to track down. GoDaddy has a large caching proxy server that will cache anything it can. This introduces another layer of complexity and another thing that can go wrong. On my GoDaddy site I was getting intermittent 500 Internal Server Errors that I finally attributed to a lack of support for the Last-Modified header.
I would stay away from them completely. Try Dreamhost.com instead.
