Domain name quandry

My primary email account is kicking my ass, so it's time to replace it. The domain belongs to a friend who was kind enough to give me an email account, but his hosting company has started sucking lately.

I know how I'm leaning right now, but I'm curious what you guys think. And besides, I haven't had a poll in a while. So....

That's *fantastic* advice, guys! Thanks!

I was poking through Citizenship and Immigration's guide for new permanant residents.

In one of the more astoundingly boneheaded pieces of advice I've seen in a government publication (and take that endorsement for what it's worth), it advises new immigrants that they might want to ask the following questions at a job interview:

• What are the hours of work?
• How much does the job pay?
• How many vacation days are there?
• How many sick days are there?
• What benefits come with the job?

As if it's not difficult enough for most new immigrants to overcome the language and "American work experience" barriers already?
