Consider doing both with two different brands; with an online business, and a decent MVC architecture, it isn't very hard; a slightly different view for each brand, and different processes around advertising and customer support for each on

There is a difference between being sued and losing a lawsuit. Anyone can file a lawsuit on shaky grounds; but defending a case is expensive, and if they sue your company, you can't represent the company yourself unless you are a lawyer. IA

Except that instead of a big business doing those things, there could be a network of small businesses. Each business does a small part of the whole, buying and selling what they need from other businesses. The reason these networks don't c

The problem with business models like readyforzero's 'sell our users information for money' is that it relies on users not realising that this will happen. Users let sites like readyforzero access their personal information; if they, say, p

Hydrogen and oxygen only react at significant rate at high temperatures. In a hydrogen explosion, the rate initially starts off low, but as the reaction is highly exothermic, heat from the reaction increases the temperature and causes the r

Food prices are not perfectly elastic when it comes to the basic staples like wheat, especially in the short term. People need a certain amount of food, and their choices come down to eat if you can afford it, or die. Demand by households d

If the shipping is paid for by Amazon out-of-state, I'd be surprised if they see any sales tax from it. Amazon hasn't stopped shipping to Illinois - they have simply stopped allowing affiliates in Illinois, so the decision is unlikely to ch

Operating within the law doesn't imply something is fair - especially when we are talking about a law change. I think that the law should fairly target mail-order companies as well as Internet-order companies. Of course, levying taxes based

Not to mention that a compiler won't do you much good without a linker. MingW and GNU platform systems like most Linux distributions use ld from binutils, but that doesn't support Mach-O so is useless on OS X.

by A1kmm 16y ago
You can compile, but you can't link with the standard GNU toolchain to get a usable library (at least last I heard), because binutils simply doesn't support the Mach-O format (see http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2009-09/msg00121.html ).

Looks like the active part of the opt-out involves making the user load the following URLs (they use the script tag, but 1x1 images could do): * http://http300.edge.ru4.com/smartserve/optout * http://www.247realmedia.com/EN-US/opt-out.ht
