If its internal links within your own website you need to track, use cookies, they are much less likely to get "passed around" like that ref link, or update the url to the canonical one once they land on the . Its asking too much of your vi

If the job was for a fixed period (like maternity leave) and he was planning to come back afterwards, and he was the right person for the job, then sure. I've hired like that before. People need time out in their lives for all kinds of reas

You'll find that fastest963 is posting that boilerplate reply across the web, and then failing to reply to the very question that you ask, which everyone else is asking too. Grooveshark PR clearly thought that by rolling out a "one of us" d

Nope, with the likes of ActiveX they wanted more than just web browsing, they saw that net-delivered apps were the future. They just weren't as advanced/ambitious with their plans. Still, this will fail for Google as it did with MS, if that

The most efficient route isn't necessarily the safest, in terms of routing large numbers of people underground.

Do you know if they support Verified by Visa and Mastercard SecureCode? Fairly essential when doing b2c transactions with "real" goods.

That looks good, although one may wonder at the long term support prospects (the author says "I'm in the process of transitioning away from PHP to Ruby."). For your delectation, other PHP repls include : - The basic built-in repl "php -a" -

Typically services set an internal "comfort" limit. When a client passes that limit, it is flagged internally for review. You can then risk-assess: look at who the customer is, what are they doing with it, do they have an incentive to pay a

So how do the large, financially successful, restaurant companies like McDonalds etc. fit into this analogy? Should we be looking to make and sell "cheap fast food" software? What about cooking at home?

For those, like me, that didn't notice it at first, its a very small one on a chain around his neck. I think.

Yup. If you google the URL you'll get the cached version though.

It wasn't dumb, perhaps I wasn't clear. As a former Police officer I've been to many car crashes and understand the difference between what causes the accident and what kills people. My point was, that in a large proportion of the accidents

Apologies for the misspelling. You used the second data-center to sell FogBugz on Demand to your customers. You didn't tell them that you no longer had it. It went down when the storm hit NY, and there was no backup data centre. If you chan

Its a much more complicated issue than you allude to. More food is produced each year than the global population requires. The reason people still starve and are malnourished are complex, including issues such as transport & infrastruct
