Could someone list of couple of places for ones that are reputable? I was looking at Namecheap.com the other day, still trying to figure out one for a decent price, but that I wouldn't have any complications with at the same time.

If you use Windows tools, and want an easy life, don't get one that is 'extra validation' from Entrust....
few of the GUI tools support it, leaving you at the command line... while not 'hard', it's not simple or nice!

We use Entrust and so do some of our banking partners. Their cloud based management tool allows us to manage things once we've order the first time around. We used VeriSign but found that Entrust was just as good and was a little cheaper.

I have used GoDaddy's SSL. They are fairly cheap and they have some good tutorials.

Thanks, Google.
WTF is "Eastern Time"? Time since the birth of Mao? Something to do with Scheherazade? Mongolian sheep-dung-decay time?

Is this only sarcasm or is there an actual question? (I assume its in the USA[^] time zones it reffers to)

Yeah, I see that -- "All Times ET" -- on FOX's MLB schedules as well. Not much help when trying to watch the local game.
You'll never get very far if all you do is follow instructions.

I used to work for a company that broadcast television to the whole of Europe, Africa and the middle East. Don't talk to me about time zones!!! They were the bane of my life. Because of stupid daylight saving time we were obliged to modify the start of day times for almost every single channel (nearly 100 at that time). Thank goodness for SQL. Made my life so much easier.
I may not last forever but the mess I leave behind certainly will.

Well, what do you think they should use, UTC? Do you honestly believe that anyone except programmers and those living outside of the US even know what UTC is? People in the US probably think UTC is a form of contraceptive.

I hate to mention this but I worked on a project where I could never get our American programmers and analysts to fully understand time zones, including UTC (where's that).

"It's British Foreign Texan for GMT"
Except in Texas, where they use
"It's British Foreign Californian for GMT"

Actually, it's not British. Its French.

Except that [generally] GMT gets adjusted for Daylight Savings, UTC does not (at least in my experience - not to say I'm any kind of expert here).

Nope, GMT stands for Greenwich Mean Time, and is not adjusted - the UK switches between GMT and BST (GMT + 1) for winter and summer respectively.

Interesting. I'll look into that on our servers. I've seen the GMT reference (yes I know what GMT is short for), but not a BST. but you are right - there is a separate check box for whether to adjust for DST. We have our severs set to UTC for consistency...
Thanks for the info...

You must mean "UTC", SQL doesn't have a GETGMTDATE function.

And we wonder why our educational systems are failing. 
I bet they all knew where the Twilight Zone was though!

None of them were what you would call stupid, it's just that the whole concept of how to use time zones seemed to elude them. Always baffled me.

Perhaps it was actually your accent they could not understand. 
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

Yeah most likely; I always wrote my emails in English.

Yep that's it. Try writing in American next time.
