I've used them for a few personal sites and projects with no complaints. The fee for wildcard certs (~60USD) is a one-off to verify your identity - usually via a quick phone call to confirm details from your official documents. Once that's

Nice game - how much work is something like this? I like how the controls/movement are precise yet just forgiving enough. Only thing, I'm not hearing any music (Chrome 11 beta, OS X).

I tried this and an extra field appeared above the URL allowing me to specify a value for HTTP_HOST.

Very handy - worked well for a couple of simple rules; it'd be good to see more feedback when it can't handle something (e.g. feeding it the rules from http://stackoverflow.com/questions/992565/why-isnt-this-rewr... just results in a grey

Would advertisers be happy paying for ads that'll only ever be seen by users with a track record of not paying for stuff?

Talk to your acquirer - they're the ones who'll be enforcing PCI-DSS compliance/certification on you if required, not the gateway.

I thought a merchant implementing 3DS wouldn't receive chargebacks if a customer denies placing the order, since the issuing bank has performed "enough" authentication to satisfy themselves that the transaction is legit. If that's the case

> I've outsourced each and every bit of the handling and processing to third parties, we still get hit with the chargeback penalty. Ignoring the flaws in most current implementations, isn't this the kind of thing 3D-Secure (VBV, SecureC

Given that the solution suggested by the article is to use a gateway (with a payment page, instead of forwarding CC numbers yourself), the gateways stand to make more cash, especially since some charge more for storage (which you'll need

If it means transparent fee structures and straightforward trials that don't require the intervention of a salesperson (and the ensuing followups) then I'm all for it. Some of the sites you linked to suck for far worse reasons, anyway - why

Exact same thing works perfectly for me (OS X Preview, version 5.0.1). I'd be interested to know what this turns out to be.

Solving it perfect is non-trivial (I've known entire PhDs to be spent working on a small subset of the problem). There are a number of products/projects that solve it to some extent (techniques include absolute positioning & making swee

Nice execution - as per the comment below, something like this would've saved me lots of manual fiddling back when I was doing lots of PDF stuff. Given the focus on APIs I guess you're aiming it at those wanting to programmatically generate

The RSS feed just shows the title; my reaction was along the lines of "endtimes... of what? next!". Didn't get as far as the description. Having taken a look now, sounds handy!

Nice work - bookmarked. Minor things: * support for alternate names (e.g. The Hague vs. Den Haag) * some way of knowing when a city wasn't found - right now if I type the name of an unrecognised place then it isn't clear that the time dis
