I've explained this to my some of my friends before and they are always shocked. Programmers seem to be the only ones who know 'delete' doesn't really mean it is gone forever. Even if Facebook really did a hard-delete on the data, there cou

For sites that have a lot of content, you can just do a fluid layout that looks good at any resolution. Keep in mind, it won't look good at higher resolutions if there is too much open space. I have a few sites that look great on everything

If you comply with state, federal and any other involved regulatory agency then you'll be fine. Payment systems can have a huge impact on the entire economy, create new businesses, and drive existing business growth.

The banks only want to drop you if you're attracting too many charge-backs, fraud, or money laundering. If you have a good system in place to minimize these problems, they will gladly take their processing fee from each and every transactio

There is still room for quality payment services like this. In particular, high-risk and micro-payments, would be great niches to get into. The primary problem is that to do this right, you will need to spend a lot on legal fees or find a l

It has to be a number that works for social butterflies too. "Crushing" means something different to everyone; friendship, dating, hookup, marriage, etc. People also change their 'crushes' at different rates depending on their lifestyle and

It's interesting because when two people have a mutual crush, and you are told of the crush, you won't know if they were told unless they mention it. So you have a confirmed connection of some sort, but you still need the balls to act on it

They don't give you 40k cash, they have some sort of reimbursement plan. You also can't just go down there and give to yourself as a salary. Borderline scam.
