I actually don't, but that's mainly to make my battery last. I get what you're saying though.

My opinion is probably in the minority on this issue, but I think cell phones should be disabled by default near vehicles(Except for emergency services). As a stick-driver and motorcyclist, I see way too many distracted drivers. People wi

I hate to be that guy but if you popup a dialog as soon as I visit a site, I immediately click the back button.

I agree. I'm using bootstrap for the layouts, so it should translate to mobile fairly easily. The nice thing is the players in a pool won't have to sign up. Only the lottery pool manager has to sign up. It's pretty conven

We'd rather not take checks/wire transfers. Our site digitizes the whole lottery pool process. It wouldn't align with our goals to force users to use checks/wire transfers. This was what I was looking for. Thanks. I&

That will definitely be an option at some point. I just don't want to turn away any potential customers because they don't have bitcoin.

Here's a site that sells lotto tickets online: https://www.lottoland.com/en Legality of doing something like this is questionable. Plus, there's the issue of trusting the site if the ticket hits the jackpot. I b

Lottery Pools. The lottery pool manager where we work keeps a physical list of who has paid up. Email invites were being sent through our company emails, but the higher-ups put the squash on that. She then scans the tickets, makes copies,

I'd agree right up until the point where he went to Facebook HQ in Toronto for training on the ads. If it were someone wasting a few grand, I'd understand. Once someone is actually trained in a certain product by the company sel

After seeing a few stories like this, it seems facebook advertising makes sense for one thing: buying likes. When one of us sees a site with 11.2K likes, we would know better. But the average user might not. Fake it until you make it.

C# and .NET get a bad rap for being created by Microsoft. But one thing that can't be ignored is how polished their development tools are. I absolutely love coding in Visual Studio.

There are many things you don't need to do. I'll take the time saved in development over cutting out an extra framework.

The handful of Philly tech meetups I've been to haven't even had 1/5th of the attendees go to the bar afterward. I'd like to think we have it under control here.

I'd love to see some rules in the future where a domain has to be used. Something needs to be done about domain squatters. It's getting out of hand.

I don't think it's a stretch to think the government has the ssl keys. Or the ability to find the ssl keys.

They can hear everything you say at any given time, even if your phone is off. Only removing the battery can prevent this. If you think this is a stretch, you are sorely mistaken.
