Very interesting, I didn't know about Opensearch. I'll spend my afternoon setting it up on my websites... Now if browsers and bookmarking service start using the Short name for the title bar, we will have reinvented the meta keywords tag :-

Not bad, but be sure to try and check the message from Transmit from Panic... I remember that when reading it I felt guilty (way back in my college days when I didn't have money and did in fact pirate a bit). This message is nice and simpl

It's not very difficult, you just have to be careful when filling the forms, they are a bit confusing... For example to refuse the travel insurance policy you must choose that you don't want it in the country selection box... Personally whi

I think you should display a message like Panic did before with Transmit when people entered pirated serials.. Don't reprimand but be polite asking them not to pirate your stuff.. The effect you're looking for is for the pirate to feel a bi

And I as a customer am happy to have Ryanair, Airasia and other low cost carriers like those. Even if they do use dark patterns, they provide me with possibilities I didn't have before they appeared...

Be careful with contract work though, it's very easy to fall into the trap of taking on too much and pushing back your own project... Contract work can be worse golden handcuffs than a job in corporate

Yes of course it's not easy but it's the job of a teacher... And, in that case, the teacher didn't even make the effort to design test questions; he took the easy way out and didn't do his job... Of course, the problem too is that too often

I always thought that teachers who reused tests year over year or used pre-made tests from the textbook publisher are just not doing their job... I strongly believe that tests should be unique from year to year, calibrated to what has been

I don't know, I've always liked Apple Mail, simple and to the point. I do use MailTags though ( http://www.indev.ca/MailTags.html )... Before that, I used to use Foxmail, then Thunderbird and then Evolution and none of them have been as goo

Yes, but the problem is that they use their own gentoo based environment that they update as time go... To do anything custom that they didn't plan beforehand, you need to create custom chef recipes that will be executed whenever a new inst

So the other question, is how would you or they feel if you didn't take the money, took money from another inverstor and became successful? Would they feel bad that you refused their money when offered in good faith?

Yes but with Paypal between fees for changing currency (2.5%) and other fees it quickly adds up... Plus, you have to convert to a business account (additionally to having to send a lot of different documents to prove your identity) if the a

After a few bad experiences with Paypal, I always use wire transfer when paying someone else or being paid as a freelancer... It works well, it's more often than not cheaper than Paypal and anyone who has a bank account can receive wire tra
