That pricing model is about a month old. Before that you'd have to go through the sales process, and it was like everyone else, base fee plus surcharges depending on what services you want. By sheer coincidence I'm sure, we (wavepayroll.com

Often you can't pick apart the good traffic from the bad. Fortunately bots are usually pretty stupid. If you can outrun them on bandwidth, then change /victimpage.html to 302 to /victimpage-new.html. The web server or load balancer can send

http://railsinstaller.org/ makes it really easy on Windows, though you might find that some of the gems don't work properly. Another option would be to use something like Vagrant, which gives you a VirtualBox server that's mapped to your

http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/employment-status/index.htm#1 would seem to indicate that it's similar to Canada & USA -- if the employer has control over the hours and way the work is performed, you don't get a choice over the employment stat

I'd also recommend some of the books by Neil Gunther at http://www.perfdynamics.com/ , notably the PDQ one and Guerrilla capacity planning. He takes queuing theory down to a slightly non-academic level and applies it to modelling computer

Hm, site is down, so I hope I'm not repeating what's in the article. I've got 2 really smart boys in elementary school. My wife and I are amazed at how bad the math education is. Our observations, based on a few kid-years of school across b

I built an online payroll service for Canadian families who hire staff like nannies or home care workers, or small businesses that wanted a very simple payroll solution. At the same time I had a day job. I wasn't raking in money but I had c

About 3 years ago I wrote an online payroll system ( http://smallpayroll.ca ) for people that hire a nanny. I have 3 young kids, there was a year where we couldn't get any childcare, and I realized there was a big problem with having to pay

Is the combined vacation/sick thing common in the States? I've never seen it until I worked for a US company (I'm in Canada). Everywhere else either gave 3 weeks vacation and unlimited sick (with HR policies to deal with abuse), or banked s

http://SmallPayroll.ca was a one-man-in-his-spare-time project until recently. What I did was: 1. SEM - Google AdWords mostly. I spent a fair time on this, partially because my day job at the time was in the SEM field 2. Organic - I got a

I have also heard sales vs marketing explained in the context of a company that sells retail items, such as batteries: "The job of Sales is to get the product on the shelves. The job of Marketing is to make sure they don't stay there."

At the time there were many schematics available to program a PIC right off the serial or parallel port. I used one of those until I built a WISP628 which is an upgraded version of the idea.

The thing that got me into PICs was a generous sample program. You could sign up and get sent a few parts at no cost.

To me, "best" is the one that's easiest to manage and doesn't break. BIND has done well for me in the past. If you're worried about speed, you're not going to get much improvement by looking for new DNS software. The time it takes a server

The author says the person is paid "a reasonable contractor fee for the work", which I would hope is equal to or greater than the current salary. If not, it really doesn't make sense, as you say. I would be curious to know what happens befo
