I've been using Arq for years and absolutely love it. Worth every penny. It is extremely well-built software — it's FAST, doesn't hog resources, and feels very polished & reliable. I like that I can backup to multiple des

Canada Post is an entity that sustains itself solely by delivering direct marketing junk mail. As a Canadian citizen I would prefer to see it disappear entirely. If people need things physically sent to them they should rely on the private

It's a great place for this kind of startup. Startup Edmonton ( http://startupedmonton.com/ ) has done a great job of promoting Edmonton as a startup city and getting people involved. Lots of people leaving their cushy g

I guess my main point is that Sam seems to be setting the price based on what Cheddar is worth to him personally , rather than some kind of growth/potential calculation (or so I assume -- he doesn't go into how he arrived at the $125k pric
