If they handle collecting and remitting VAT and sales tax in different states and countries, it's worth every penny. Trying to figure out which county in some state you owe $0.14 to is a nightmare.

I just went through and clicked on months of past orders, lots of electronics, odds and ends types of things. This isn't true for a single product I clicked on. How is this happening so much for you? Do you have screenshots or examples

I don't agree, other than being blue and having some gradients. The Edge logo looks like an "e", not a fox hugging a globe. The new logo looks good in my opinion. It has earth tones, looks like an "e", has some edge

All this attention.... and yet billions of cigarettes are smoked every day, and one could say every single one of those cigarettes has been "contaminated" for 50+ years. Why are we not stopping cigarettes from being shipped around

Because a scroll bar taking up real estate on the right side of a phone screen that is hard to touch because it's so thin is silly. A knob on the right that's easily grabbed and barely covers anything is better.

Yeah, so, this just blew my mind. I compiled it with an older version of gcc that I had on my Windows machine and it worked just as easily (without threading, or -ldl) But there it is, a fully featured SQL engine in an EXE file that I can u

I actually think he's making a big deal out of nothing on this one. If you have a site that gets long, it would be smart to create some kind of system for jumping between sections, or scrolling up a great deal. Like Google Docs does wh

I think your point may be that he doesn't have anything private on the phone to worry about or anything that needs to be kept secure? I think the argument hidden in the headline here is that since this is a device owned by a congressma

I stupidly left college to join a dot com for all kinds of fun things like a huge salary, bonuses, dual monitors, my own office space, a big cool office building. Then, after about 6 months, the company funding our company just pulled out.

What's far more terrifying about this practice is that it's a method of reprogramming the way someone thinks. This is "Clockwork Orange" level experimentation. Imagine this being used in concentration camps or interrogat

Most cards have a business name or person's name. Taking the card to the police or the bank would get a call directly to them. Who would think, I'm going to start a chain of 1 penny transaction to contact this person at this bank

You're making it worse. Anyone can conveniently lose a wallet, but one with a bank card with no identifying info in it anywhere? A finder who went to bizarre lengths to make Faster transactions to your bank account to send you a messag

Marketing is not a banner ad or billboard anymore. A viral tweet like this could land him 5 minute segments on any number of local-news stations that need a feel-good piece. He'll then have the opportunity to talk about his company. An

Could a massive list like this help stop frivolous patents from being viable, or granted? Perhaps if all people could just add their ideas to this list, over time, we could prevent the ability for anyone to patent anything if the idea alrea

There's always an exception. While running a brick and mortar business for 3 years, I found that when parked around the corners (out of a courtesy to my customers) I looked either out of business, closed, or dead. Our business ran on w

Lol, I totally agree, why not offer the thick super-long-lasting battery version?!?!? Let the skinny-jeans kids get their skinny phones and have to charge everywhere, but I'm fine with a brick in my pocket if the battery can go for a c

I think your point is that people will recognize these faces as not being real, or maybe at least feel like they are "off" in some way, but can't put their finger on it... That being said, if you scroll through thousands of t

We have this thing at our house called "no screens" or "turn off your screens". I yell it out, and my kids from ages 10-18 turn it off. (The 18 year old is off to college, but he used to as well). There IS an exception.

2 wrongs don't make a right. It's not okay to say "something has been done before" or "this is like that". As human beings, we are learning what types of things are destructive. When we learn about these proble

No no no no no. "It's worse when he once in a while gets a cool skin, because in his eyes it makes it all worth it." THAT is the whole problem. Those rewards. Kids absolutely cannot understand how to cope with that feeling. G
