Came here to say this, I used wepay.com to raise money from family and friends to buy my brother-in-law a birthday present. They are super easy to use, and super easy to get ahold of a real person if you run into problems.

When they showed the scene where that one guy admitted to embezzlement I thought "wow, that's intense." Now I know that the participants were told that none of the audio from their private mentor meetings would be used. They thought they w

You might try getting involved in some open source projects, that way you can build a network of people who have worked with you and know what you can do, but who didn't have to take a risk on hiring you, given you track record. I don't kno

I've been using Git for version control for all of my own personal projects as a sole developer. I've heard that Mercurial and Git are very similar, and your reasoning for choosing Mercurial is very similar to my own choice of Git :-) I li

How you go about publishing your web app depends on what platform you created it in. Is it PHP, a Python or Ruby based framework, .NET, Java, node.js, or something else completely?

The SQL Injection vulnerability, the fact that passwords are apparently stored in plain text in the DB, and passing the username and password in the querystring (which means they will get logged by IIS in plain text) are the biggest issues

I threw together http://www.dragdropcomics.com/ to make it easier to create Rage Face comics on Reddit, then I realized that there were already two or three very good and fully fleshed out Rage Face comic web apps, so I kinda left it as i

I don't know how accurate or relevant it is, but Indeed.com's salary comparison tool can sometimes be helpful. Here's an example: http://www.indeed.com/salary?q1=senior+java+developer&l1...

Just until the day when it moves to the hardware level, where your hardware will refuse to run certain processes unless they are digitally signed. Good times. See also "Intel Trusted Execution Technology": http://software.intel.com/en-us/

I found 6 plans with maternity coverage in my area (Kansas City). I'm sure they all have 2 year waiting periods, but that's not gurgeous' fault :-)

When I worked for a bank there was some old law that forced bank employees to take one whole week of vacation at the same time (something about having enough time to audit them if needed, from back in the day when it would take that long to

3.5 weeks? Sheesh, I only get 2 weeks at my current job. One week gets used up throughout the year for random errands, kids school stuff, that sort of thing. That leaves one week to actually take a vacation, and this year we just skipped

I love my T-Mobile plan, the customer service, the T-Mobile store down the street from my work, I love the whole company, and I hate the thought of all of that disappearing down AT&T's gaping black hole of a company. I really hope this

When this video was first released I forwarded it to my attorney, who laughed and laughed, and then said "everything they said in that video is true".

I'm pretty sure that the commenter was being facetious, but I have worked at a company where they actually did this. They always had job openings posted on their website, and they would bring people in for interviews, even though they were

So...I'm developing a web application, and once it's built I won't have to spend nearly as much money on development costs as I am right now. Even though the majority of my expenses are development costs, if I exclude those costs from my b

I love when they do that, I hate all those last minute assholes who zoom by the rest of us who are adhering to the construction signs indicating that a lane is closed ahead. I always think that I should herd traffic myself, but I'm just on

What really gets me is the fact that nobody (well, almost nobody) will hire remotely, I guess because they feel like they need a collaborative environment. I get that, but for the cost of living difference between SF and KC, you could easi

Here's my canned response: I want to work with the cool technologies I love, namely Python, Django, jQuery, Postgresql, MongoDB, and if it has to be Java it better be something cool for Android. I need at least ${insert a very competitive s

The name doesn't matter, the technology is what makes Bitcoin. We could change the name to BitBills and I don't think anyone would miss a beat, the work would move forward and those that matter would move along with it.

I have the exact opposite problem, I'm trying to stay focused on my budding startup and not get too distracted by other projects and ideas (one of which is a game, btw!) If it were me, I'd go work at a temp agency as a receptionist or somet

I love the idea of clip on technology, like the project for turning your smartphone's camera in to a high powered microscope. There's a whole world of possibilities out there, especially for the hardware hackers, now that so many of us hav

Am I the only one who thinks Google didn't really plan on winning anything? I think they were just making a statement about the ridiculousness of patenting an algorithm. But, I'm probably wrong. You can't patent innovation, although you c
