I am all for talking about it if it involves you. Go public and say: Here's what happened. Here is why security sucks. This ensures that you get attention and reduces the chances that the govt. will stupidly punish you (aka punish the mess

I have heard about a lot of people who have inadvertently carried things on flights, including a 12 inch knife on two separate flights. Regardless, if someone is doing this on purpose, but without malicious intent, you may want to avoid nam

Next up suitcases, clothes and hair. Forcibly shaven-bald travelers trudging naked through security carrying their belongings in see through polythene bags will be a common sight. Invest in barbershop stocks.

Thanks. I was incredibly lucky, both in meeting her and in how shared challenges helped us build a very strong friendship over the next several years to support what started as an infatuation. I am aware of how rare it is and don't recommen

I married the first one, over half a life time ago. Some times you just get lucky. Edit: Before I get uber-up/down-voted into oblivion and challenged because I am not 50, the accurate version of this statement should read "I married the fir

Thank you for the detailed answer. We do customize it for each customer (almost a requirement of "enterprise" software), but we have hedged our bets by making it very easy to customize. We have our bank do our payroll and pay them for it, b

Simple questions that are suddenly (more) important because we have just become cash flow positive and now have non-trivial revenues. 1) Do we need to charge sales tax on software as a service? Our customers are large organizations spread a

So from reading a couple of forum posts of people who actually bought this, the device does not have Android Market installed and does not have a setting which allows you to put it in "USB Debug" mode - which is a prerequisite for installin

I think you are misunderstanding their target customer. They are not targeting people who want to buy a car, but are not sure when or which one. They seem to be intentionally targeting people who are ready to go to the dealer and buy a spec

Since we are focusing on incentives, if they charge the dealer - they are working for the dealer. Who do you think they will be motivated to help better? If the dealer pays them, they have to help the dealer maximize his profit and the cust

Their Plus pricing plan costs $79 usually, and the sign up page says 90% of the people choose that, which makes sense intuitively (With more dealers competing, chances are, I'll save more than $40 by going with the plus plan). So at the ver

Fair enough, but IMHO not letting me access the FAQ (which I can access by logging out anyway) won't help you increase conversions. Having a back button to go to the preferences also wouldn't hurt, but that can be debated. At the very least

Was signing up and realized I have a question on the very last page (choose a plan). Now every time I try going to the FAQ, it redirects me back to the sign up page. It's very irritating. FWIW my question is: Can I switch from "need financi

What happens when this is due to a hardware bug, like with the Toyotas recently? I don't think criminal liability is involved except in special circumstances. Why should software be any different. IANAL however.

Let us say that the writer actually believes that every single assumption (and oh, there's so many you will lose count) in this article is true (they are not) and it is not just flamebait/linkbait (it most certainly is). Even so, surely she

Yeah, I am not sure it would make sense for anyone to buy more than 1. So I wonder why they let you buy 3! I must hasten to add that even limited to 1, this is an incredible deal and I am jumping on it. Great stuff! p.s. it looks like the a

It looks like you can buy 3 bundles but many of the included items are only for new customers. So will they allow redeeming 3 promo codes on the same new account?

It certainly reduces the potential security downside for Facebook. If someone tricks you into giving up your email password, they could get all of your email but is that a valid argument against letting you download all of your contacts and
