We ran an online store selling merchandise for a very large mobile-game vendor, so naturally we experienced these types of fraud attempts. For us, there's one killer technique. Detect fraud however you want to / can (this can be a

I like the idea of the product a lot - but the question I have is how these servers stack up in an 'apples to apples' comparison (that is to say, with a DO small / medium / large instance - or an AWS small / medium

Unequivocally, there's no safety situation in Iran. It's probably best to add an asterisk: Assuming you're not hanging around the Iraq / Afghani borders. Iran is a beautiful country with a big PR problem. Yes the governm

I happened to head through this region last year. The desert near Isfahan is absolutely mind blowing. It's like procedural generation meets the clone stamp tool. http://travel.ninjito.com/2014-08-18-Iran

Plain vanilla signing obviously works, and you could (and can, according to a quick check) - just paste your encrypted message back into the window and sign it (unless I grossly mis-understand signing, which I might do..)

That's actually one of the reasons they've been pushing the new (2013, very new in terms of how quickly most visa situations evolve..) entrepreneur visa(s) in spain. There's two types: one gives you 1 year residency (can be e

Not sure where you heard this, but Australia's immigration policy is .. agressive .. at best. It's a points based system, which is punitive of age and education. 30 years is the cut off for the 'easy', one year, restrict

Well, you can pay to go on Baikonour tours. 10k around launch times, cheaper when its not a launch time. I'm sure if you're got that type of cash to drop - dropping a few more k to see the Buran isn't an issue Or you can snea

It may interest / surprise you to know that the russians were also building / built a super collider near moscow. It was / is huge. 27KM from memory. It blew over budget, because less relevant, and closed. There is a mini co

Pretty damned abandoned. I've driven through Baikonour. For background, it's literally a circle of land, 100km in diameter, in the middle of nowhere in Kazakhstan. There is one road in, and one road out. From this road, the only t

Great suggestions. Last year, I went through the same thing. We had a great idea. We had a solid client. We build a platform that worked, and produced products that were high quality, that the end user loved. Due to miscalculations on our b

It's a lot more subtle than that. | "de ne savoir pas demeurer en repos dans une chambre." Is literally: "To not know how to remain at rest in a room" There is certainly no mention of one's own room, but it is

Honestly - one of the most informative, well written, extremely well referenced articles I've read literally in years. This article will teach me more than I've learned in a long time. Thank you very much for your contributions..

Depends on the country. I recently had a case in France where a very well known magazine used one of my photos without permission; my lawyer advised that photo worth is judged by the reputation of the photographer. If you're an amateur

Very good point; typically if you inspect the factories and only work with ISO9001 factories, you can ask to see their random selection / testing procedures that are in place. And, as you say, asking to see the policy is one thing, ask

A lot depends on the product you are manufacturing, and the relationship you have with the manufacturer. Business in China operates via 'Guanxi' [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guanxi ] - which losely translat

I've had less and less success with VPNs in China - I resort to SSH tunneling / SOCKS proxies on personal boxes. SOCKS proxies will get cut off after ~1h or so, you'll have a 'cool down' period of a few minutes, and

Yeah, one of the obvious means is key duplication; even the key guide could be cut into pieces, re-attached with sticky tape, and fed in with a shim feeler.

I'm a non-smoker, but enjoy the effects of nicotine, and also find its effects on concentration etc useful when working. I've tried wearing patches during coding binges to (non-scientific) success. The only real concern I'd h
