   Totally agree - in my experience, passive income is anything but passive. It's more involved than most 'real jobs' I've worked. Have you tried negotiating tax forms, outsourcing (ha) customer support, maintaining a par

   I use Pingdom's 1-minute monitoring for this, which is included on the Free plan. No joke, it hits up my pseudo-cron Task Processing route which fires up and reschedules all tasks needing doing, and it never fails. And it provides upti

   It's been a while since I saw something and instantly had a dozen ideas for things I could build with it. Nice! Has all the makings of a great infrastructure business. Once a startup or SME (or big enterprise) gets something like this

   "There is no suggestion that he has any intention to try to travel to the UK." Says it all really. Don't waste your time reading this hypey article.

   Hypothetically, I mean I'm sure he's got it all planned out, but he could convincingly change his appearance, stock up on supplies and a backpack, and grab a ferry over to one of the nearby islands to hide out until the news dies

   Wonderful idea, is it geographically restricted? I would pay (e.g. $0.50 per item for free items, more for paid items?) for this service. Please throw up a simple Bootstrap theme (from e.g. http://wrapbootstrap.com ) for a bit of

    Where does running traffic via a VPN [0] come into this? Does that count as HTTPS, or are they referring to 'SITE.COM' having an HTTPS certificate? Is it possible to use Tor and a VPN together? [0] e.g. I use https://ip

    I recommend maybe doing a deal, phone + multiple SIM cards ($x each per SIM) Then we could order in bulk, use a temporary address, and have enough for a year's anonymous talking without needing to make another order..

    Blackstone said "It is better that ten guilty men go free than that one innocent man be convicted." I'd say that applies..

    This is beautiful - I strongly recommend increasing the text contrast. I'm on a Macbook Air and I can hardly see the form labels and subheaders, so I despair for anyone on a shitty old screen etc. Will be using this in next project tho!

    I stopped reading at the opening sentence: "Because it just wouldn't do to upset the sensibilities of those who might wish to cut your head off." This is implying guilt (or intention) on the part of the recipients of these racist messages

    Fair play, and it all depends on the project - although in this case I'd rather sacrifice readability (remember, you can do summaries like http://500px.com/terms to great effect) for peace of mind. Knowing it's been professionally done le

    You'll never know how good your contracts are until somebody sues. I'd contact a lawyer (and am doing so, for a separate project!)
