I am not a lawyer, or an accountant, or anything like that. My understanding is that for federal Canadian corporations a certain percentage (I think 25%) must be Canadian residents.Before doing anything like registering a company in another

Given that he is asking about recurly, chargify, etc. I'm assuming its because he wants to do reoccurring billing, for which PayPal/Google Checkout are less than awesome solutions for.

It would be strange if it was true. Unless things have changed in the past ~1 year, Microsoft does not encourage employees to get their non-employee friends to use the employee discount. There is some fairly specific stuff about being able

The so called anti-sec movement confuses me a lot. They seem to hate script kiddies, but these people are no better, if anything they are more dangerous because they have a false set of ideals they believe they are promoting. I wish I could

I could really go for a sane caching load balancer. My experience with stuff like pound,squid and nginx so far leaves much to be desired (and chaining them isn't exactly desirable either). Why do they have default maximum url lengths less t

But if it becomes normal for a mailman to do this, there is now an expected man-in-the-middle. Sure the mailman might be benign, but what about if there is another man-in-the-middle (less benign), now that I expect my communication to be ta

This is a total fluff piece. They talk about a phone which has been rejected as too dull, but dell has not even commented on making a phone, nor have any of the carriers commented on it being too dull. Either this is link bait pure and simp
