   I doubt it. Carrier terms of service make the SaaS model for this difficult if not impossible. I also don't understand why anyone would pay a percentage per label when the carriers offer free APIs. Sure the APIs are a pain but there are

   I got sick of Wordpress security issues and updates so I moved my blog to Octopress. What is even better is that you can host those files without a server environment with Amazon S3 and cloudfront.

    I don't remember where I found it but the best remapping I ever did was to map the sequence 'kj' to esc. kj is rarely used in a word, and when it is it isn't a big deal. inoremap kj <Esc>

    Ahh, good point I should be more clear on this. Since RocketSendIt itself is hosted on Amazon's EC2 servers you get 2,000 emails per month using your own Amazon AWS account. If you were to implement your own solution using your own (non EC

    From someone in the oil and oil additive business I can say that this article is actually pretty accurate compared to most of the crap out there. However, ZDDP is an anti-wear additive not an extreme pressure additive. In the article it sa

    Yeah this is kind of an inside joke that should be taken back inside. Edit: It has been taken down.
