I've never gotten reliable results from compete, whenever I look at the results for a website for which I know the real statistics they are always completely wrong... For example, one of the website I manage has 10 times more unique visitor

The 35$ per transfer is normal, the 5% is not. It'll probably be cheaper to send the money directly in USD without currency exchange, the european bank will then deal with it and their rates are usually cheaper (at least for french banks).

To have a website in China you need an "ICP license". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ICP_license It forces you to follow rules, including censoring any comments that are about the latest hot topics, censoring any critics and deliver any per

I'm currently thinking of moving away from github for exactly that reason... I have a lot of small very small traffic repos but it makes no sense for me to pay the bigger account size. I get along by hosting some of the repos on my own box

I think the problem between tptacek and me and the others arguing is that many of us are not from the USA... The USA being an At-Will employment system, there is not as much downside with hiring someone full time and the health care issue i

If the 3 month contract is paid the normal wage then I'd rather go to a company that does this because it means that there's an higher probability of having competent coworkers there. That's the reason why I do the same in my own company no

And this is with a dose of around 20,000mSv. He recommends setting the limit at 100 mSv/year with a lifelong limit of 5,000 mSv. I also agree shadowsun7, you could cut down on the name calling and be a bit more civilized in your comments.

The blurb at the top is not always written by the same writer as the article... But even with that said, why doesn't it make sense to compare the number of casualties and damages between different accidents? It's a way to put things into pe

But how can they do this if the dns server and server are not hosted in the US? I've been wondering about this problem too recently when looking at some frivolous patent lawsuits... The problem is that for quite a few case even if the law i

Some of the best programmers I've worked with will say that the code they wrote a few years ago is bad code... I don't think it's a sign that ojbyrne is a bad developer or that he actually wrote bad code, on the contrary the worse developer

Another point where I'm a bit irrational, if I find out that an ebook had a sale for a substantially lower price than now (like the 15$ sale for the "authoring ebooks" book), I'm much less likely to want to buy it at full price because then
