Experts Exchange

I really don't want or need advice about getting an expert-sex-change. ;P
:josh: My WPF Blog[^] All of life is just a big rambling blog post.
They originally had only
experts-exchange.comregistered, but when venture captial hit, in full understanding of the new economy, they registeredexpertsexchange.com, and started to promote and use it. Needless to say, all the sneering it caused in the (EE) Lounge was the least of the problems they had with that. :D They didn't keep that domain name for long.We are a big screwed up dysfunctional psychotic happy family - some more screwed up, others more happy, but everybody's psychotic joint venture definition of CP

I remember reading awhile back that their original domain was, in fact, www.expertsexchange.com. It goes down as one of the all-time worst domain name choice mistakes out there. They changed it after they realized what they'd done. Cheers, Drew.
not really (see my post below yours) - at least that's how I remember it (I was there..)

Most of the pages will show the answers if you scroll down enough, there is also a greasemonkey plugin that decodes it.

Does that still work? I heard that EE fixed this towards the end of 2007.

I'm gathering other peoples experience with using Experts Exchange. Every so often a Google search will bring back several hits for Experts Exchange and I would like to see the answer but can't because of the fee involved. I've never been willing to cough up the $12/month fee because so many other sources of help are available. Is it worth it? Is it any better than news groups? Is it any better than all of the free help available?
It's good to be alive
I have used experts exchange many times (but not recently) and never paid anything ( because I had a lot of expert points) but I have not used it in a few years because it was horribly slow and now I usually find the answer I want with a google search anyways.

It has way more ads... which, if you think about it, is a pretty good trick. AFAIK, you can usually scroll down to see the answers, or pull them from Google Cache. I've never been impressed, so either they're hiding the good ones, or...
But who is the king of all of these folks?
Cache does the trick, thanks.
