Seasonal work, summer hours, school and other needs take precedence over what a family spends money on, on a month-to-month basis. Pay-as-you-go electricity is common in some western countries and it is not unusual for there to be days wher

Ex-air force. She was extremely well-spoken and knew exactly what she was doing. I applaud her - everytime someone stands up to the farce it keeps us from forgetting that this is still an issue to fight for.

If this had fluid grid-resizing support (a la getskeleton.com) we would take a deeper look at this for new projects. Nice work otherwise. We love Less so great to see this integrated, hope you get some traction.

Well, my first language was LOGO. I don't think that disadvantaged me when I started C. I think it's all about the approach (add in the fact that in school our teachers gave out chocolate for whoever got their program finished first).

Where is the financial incentive for these hosting companies to do so? Most users will never see a traffic spike that can take down your average VPS or bluehost site. It seems there is a gap in the market for self-hosted sites that have bui

Yes, that would a huge pain to require all Dropbox users to force-update to get new root certs. It will probably take a while until they are due to expire.

I see this list being more of a point of interest, not a topic of opinion. It shows how entrenched GoDaddy is, even among us who think we should 'know' better. While I'm content to pay a few dollars more for a registrar I trust it's underst

GoDaddy will stay in business while ad syndicates continue to accept their money. Is there an ad syndicate that allows you to specifically black-list companies? Some kind of 'ethical ad' startup?

That's the beauty of open source. Let the best implementation win, not the competitor with the most marketing money. I have had this conversation with older business-type people who don't quite understand why we might want to make certain a

In regards to 'wages rose and rose in Spain' and are now not competitive with Germany: I would have thought that wages in Spain pre-1997 were very low compared to Germany, so if they rose it was to become comparable. How does this then make

I prefer the green version but some of the elements are hard to read. If you could tone it down a little I think it would really stand out at first glance better than the white. The white, while it looks professional and beautifully done, s

Have you ever bought a plane ticket in Europe or Australia? They offer free transactions that are not credit-card based. It's fairly common to have an extra fee in a lot of non-US online and off-line stores.
