This is flawed from the start. 1. Many people will only use a CC online for the additional protection it allows. 2. Many people put all their spending on CC for the various point / bonus schemes they have 3. This limits you to UK people onl

I do wonder if passengers knew what was happening. Many might have been asleep. It sounds like there was a fair bit of turbulence on. It looks like from the report that none of the cabin crew raised any concerns, so I'm wondering if people

Yes, give me tips on _how_ I can get into getting involved with SAP development. I have done plenty of integration with SAP in terms of processing IDOCs and I understand some of the business processes in SAP on the manufacturing side - but

I don't know of the laws in various countries, but this already happens on major purchases here in the UK - flights, holidays etc. You will be charged a surcharge for using a credit card, or a fixed fee. Eg £4.50 for a CC, free for a debit

The primary reason _is_ for people to spend money they don't have. Secondary reason is that CC offer easier charge back, customer protection etc.

You also have to remember that a lot of game companies do not write their engines. They either licence iD or the Unreal engine.

Notice I said .NET. You can find plenty of presentations / blogs on php performance, ruby / rails performance, python / django performance but not many on .NET - I guess simply because most high-volume sites don't use .NET

I think stackoverflow is the first high volume .net site that have gone in depth publically with how they are solving their performance issues. Microsoft should be paying them for the continued great PR

To answer your questions - Microsoft have not yet revealed what SKUs they will ship for Win8, but they have said the home screen on all versions will be this Metro interface - Clearly it will be marketed to them. - In the home screen, there

Windows shared drive performance is abysmal. Anything to improve that would be a boon. Plus this is cross platform. The biggest competitor is a usb stick.

Of course, these are interesting and great numbers, but I don't think that they are the only measure of value. McDonalds may make 'only' $60,000 per employee, but it employs over 1.5 million people . I'm grateful that McDs are providing jo

Best way is to drive it until it breaks and then you'll find out. In the meantime, save up some money for your next car. I don't get why people have this mindset 'I best replace my car before it starts costing me money'. Even an expensive r

Did you look at the article? Microsoft has data that says roughly 50% of people shutdown their PCs. So clearly, a lot of people do care about fast booting

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe YC provide an in-house lawyer for incorporation etc. They're probably expecting people to provide their own equipment, every company gets offered free hosting and they can also take a furth

Because they did hours and hours of research, testing, usability sessions and found that it worked.

Plus most companies which actually use SAP have worldwide operations. SAP is definitely a global company in terms of customer base.

The best way to save money on your groceries is to write a list before you go and then only buy from that list. My wife and I plan our meals for the week, write the list of what ingredients we need and then we only buy what's on the list. I

The reason for the unequal depth is that the article was originally written for the print magazine - if you see the design of the magazine, you will see that they have a few featured cities with longer articles and others in brief. Obviousl
