I like to use a ShopSafe solution from BoA/Mastercard that lets me generate a different card and limit for every purchase I make online. However, I use PayPal 90% of the time.

The real question is, how do you know they are using multiple accounts unless you are invading their privacy and looking at their private data stored on your servers?

If you read the information posted, it's nothing that really matters. It's nothing that the competitors weren't aware of already. It's nothing that hasn't been rumored, and in actuality, it just keeps the rumors alive. This stinks of sma

I just showed this to my wife, followed by a "this is awesome". And her response. "Can't you just write it down or type it on the computer after you weigh yourself?" GAH. No. This product was made in the name of geeky coolness and therefo

Back when I was looking into outsourcing, friends told me that whomever I hire outside the country, make sure it is very clear that: A) They do NOT use any GPL'd code in the work they do. B) They do not COPY any competitor or other product

He actually replied in the comments to something just like this. He said "no" of course :)

Agreed. There's no surprise to me here that Google would want a piece of the action if you are making money with their freely available services.

They'll have a serious growth problem with the number of 30+ aged folks jumping on the site right now. In 5 years, when the 8 year olds of the world turn 13 and start looking for social networks to join - I have a feeling they aren't going

All my contact management, todos, calendar, etc are on the web on a Linux platform, SO, you could technically say I'm on Linux all day, however, I access everything from Windows and code in Windows so...

This comment sounds funny at first, but it's SO true. If the business card has an AOL address on it, it's a giant red flag that says "potential problem client" all over it. My top 8 reasons why an AOL address on a business card MAY mean "pr

Maybe the degree is like the "trophy", but I have to agree with johnnybgoode here, if it's truly about the subject, learn it, involve yourself in it, and succeed on your own terms. That being said, I can understand how at University you wil

It's not about being dazzled. When you go on a road trip, you rotate the tires, check the brakes, wash the windows, change the oil and fill it up with gas - and not because it's dazzling, but because you need to be prepared for the road ah

I signed up to preview, but I really didn't get what I was doing. I tried to add a Home list for Stuff I do at home. I tried to log the activity of mowing the lawn, but it wants a "number" for the work done. I just don't understand. I th

I'm sorry, but you just can't solve a problem half-way these days. You can't get milk or eggs from Alice.com right now. So, you go to the store ANYWAY because you still need the milk and eggs. You need toilet paper too, maybe some garbage b

I think he missed a big point. Lead them in with features, like they are bait, THEN only present 3 packages to buy (instead of 16). Software is different than jelly.

They seem to over-react to most time-tested business practices, which is why I think it's all part of the plan. People know that they will look at things differently, and then advise that it's a good way of doing business with their only d

37Signals writes the way they do exactly for this reason. So other people will retaliate and reference them. They make everyone else look like they are just playing catch-up with 37Signals which makes them a constant leader by default. Y

This is completely terrifying. You don't know who Clixpy is. You put this on your site, a user types in their password and so far we just have their word that they are not recording it - has anyone looked closely at the JS?

I figure many twitter apps are written with SQLite as their database (in AIR, etc) so the Integer, Primary Key, can get up to 9223372036854775807 http://www.sqlite.org/faq.html What is the point of creating a website like this?

It's not the education that matters, it's how you use it.
