USPS has put almost all of their available services online for free and made them very easy to use (and they have also placed self-service smart kiosks in most post offices which are just great too).

That's got me thinking... I wonder if you could use that as the name (current resident) in the USPS forwarding services found online? You would only need a throwaway email address to create an account and set it up. This might merit a

You mean like how DNS works, where a _unique_ name resolves to a _unique_ address? Without each side being unique, how would voice://John_Smith-00003475 be better than a phone number? We already have address abstraction in the for

Lots of horror stories with Amazon courier deliveries but it can't be as bad as the Amazon Sunday delivery via USPS. Imagine all of the "no fucks given" attitude backed by the efficiency of an un-uniformed USPS weekend co

Except you don't drop the entire theme code into your project, just the pieces you want to overwrite. I have to believe here that the idea was to make themes extendable, not customizable (in the way previous Jekyll themes operated). Th

Unless I'm mistaken, it seems the author missed this short paragraph in the docs: With a clear understanding of the theme’s files, you can now override any theme file by creating a similarly named file in your Jekyll site directory.

When a company "pulls" your credit they are not given the report for free. Equifax and the like sell a credit reporting service to banks and other companies who would want to see your credit history. When you freeze your report, r

And in the absence of legislative action the only thing we can do in the meantime is go after Equifax's data sources and customers. I know that Citibank uses Equifax for providing FICO scores to their cardholders. Voicing your concern

I genuinely hate that I'm going to say this, but... A 2x4 is 1.5" X 3.5" It's not _approximately_ 2x4 or _slightly_ smaller than 2x4. Not that this adds critical information regarding the article, but if you

The concept of an ICO is still somewhat new to me and I'm trying to figure out how Mayweather is so sure he is going to make money on this offering. Correct me if I'm wrong, but in the simplest terms: I'm assuming Mayweather

The spam call filter is arguably one of the best benefits of using a Google Voice number. My spam call and voicemail folder is full of SEO, payday loan, and other outright scam messages. Just activate the filter and you never see these call
