They appear to be charging for commercial use only. What do you think a reasonable fee would be?

I don't hate Paypal, but I'd prefer not to implement anything again against the Paypal API. I wrote a small e-commerce engine for a friend's site a couple of years ago, utilizing Paypal for the shopping cart & IPN to notify the site whe

tumblr gets a cut whenever someone "buys" a tumblr design. Have no idea what that equates to in revenue but they are getting revenue.

Was not at all on my radar as IBM’s CTO in the 1990s. Perhaps it catered to a more specialized audience.

He should contact an employment/labor attorney. Under no circumstances should he sign the agreement without consulting an attorney. 30-60-90 days of non-compete is one thing. Two years is insane, almost criminal.

Resign without signing the agreement. About the only way I would sign such an agreement would be if the company put two years’ salary in escrow for payment to me during the two year period.

I've lived in Brooklyn for eleven years, Manhattan for three years before that. I grew up in Chicago, went to school in Pittsburgh and have spent significant time in Sydney and San Francisco. I don't think you can do wrong by coming to NYC,

I think you’re trying to solve the wrong problem. I think you should run your startup wherever you feel comfortable living. My city is a great city, it has many neighborhoods you can feel "home" in, it has great food, it has a lot of money

Taking down the site may not seem to have financial incentive, but using the site as a vector to litigate against the owner of the site for infringement just introduces too much risk/liability against my personal financial assets. I mean,

Probably not what you are looking for but I plan to shut down my personal site, actively campaign (politically) against candidates/office holders who support(ed) SOPA/PIPA (even when it means crossing traditional party lines). I've been on

Technically he's paid for MSG for January (Time Warner pre-bills a month ahead, I just checked my bill). Neither TW nor MSG have offered us a refund of the January fee.

Under one iteration of SOPA, the copyright holder could file a private action to have the infringing site shutdown. Alternately the copyright holder could file an action with the US DOJ to have the site shut down. In either scneario the f

I've been fighting spam bots of one form or another since 1994. I think it's actually easier now to use a plain email address on a web site as a contact method than it was ten years ago…almost everyone gets that you can click on an address

No. Detailed version: there's too many types of bots seeking too many different paths into web sites to be worth your time trying to write code to block each currently known bot method. They're hitting the form for multiple reasons: - prob

TL;DR: Paypal is embedding an image into its emails using the "//" shortcut, instead of specifying http: or https:. This is wrong since it assumes the mail user agent loaded the content from a web server. There's zero benefit to dropping h

It's uncomfortable. You get chronic back pain. Your joints age faster. As you “grow”, clothing options shrink. People assume you’re lazy. Flying becomes uncomfortable. Don't ever assume you'll never need to run. Running is a natural r

If you can, look at reactive responses, rather than proactively blocking everything (and thus impacting site performance for all potential customers). So something in drupal or mod_security which watches inbound traffic and if a pattern em

Anything you do is going to impact performance on your site. It sucks, I'm sorry. If you go the .htaccess route, every single new connection will get pattern matched against the _deny from_ patterns. It's a bit better using CIDR notation,

Neither Facebook nor Twitter are public companies. Is it possible that Google execs are in a quiet period due to the Motorola Mobility deal?

I use LinkedIn to vet people for a mailing list I help manage. Mostly to verify that they're real people and not accounts which a spammer will use. It's not perfect as many people don't have the address they use for the mailing list alias

A confidentiality agreement is one thing and is acceptable. One of the worst mistakes I ever made was to sign an agreement (on resigning from a company) saying I would never criticize the company or its officers. It’s amazing what lawyers
