The problem with this is the backup codes are different for each service. With one service, I can keep a backup card in my wallet, another in my house, and another at somebody else's house in a different city, giving me very high assur

I don't completely understand your warning to stick with the existing version control environment. Just because you switch development to git doesn't mean you delete the old CVS archive. Isn't consulting the old archive suffi

Not a lawyer, but you probably do have cause for a lawsuit. Search "credit card data breach class action" and find lawyers/law firms who have handled similar cases in the past. If your data was compromised by a deep pocketed

I was initially confused as well. Would be interested in an authoritative answer from the author, but this is what I came up with upon reflection: the behavioral and performance standards he's talking about are the ones that are prima

The ideal comparison would be to run the exact same experiment on the exact same hardware on .net and see how it compares (ie, run Xamarin Studio on .net, open and build Xamarin Studio). But I would be interested in any quantitative compari

This is an interesting concept. I think the implementation would be very tricky though. The most important implementation detail is whether the investments are chosen by the investors, or by a manager or management committee of some kind. I

This was legal even before the JOBS act. A registered investment company is an accredited investor, and is allowed to sell shares to individual investors. Several companies have tried the business model, none (to my knowledge) with great su

The actual Illinois law covers real estate appraisal, not other kinds (ie, cars). However, it defines an appraisal as the act of forming an opinion about the value of a piece of real estate. It then forbids doing it without a license. Not d

It's certainly not justified by the difference in component costs. My feeling is it's an attempt at price discrimination. For users running an office suite, web browser, and not much else, even the lowest spec machine is plenty. T

There aren't actually any transactions fees to absorb. Wholesale brokers (think Citadel) pay retail brokers (think Robin Hood) for the privilege of executing their orders.
