It's not quite that simple. All the proceeds to charity may be profit but the proceeds to the park are revenue. The printing costs of #3 are almost 17 times higher than #1, so that could put #1 in second place.

You can't automatically retrieve someone's name with their cellphone/mobile number in the way you can with a credit card check, but admittedly it's not very hard. Removing the risk of being ripped off is the major benefit over a cc check.

I wouldn't give a site my credit card just to comment, but I'd be ok with SMS verification. eg. Provide your mobile number when you sign up and they text you an unlock code before it works. Alternatively you could text them first to get the

You get a letter asking for a reason why you didn't turn up and they fine you if they don't think it's a good enough excuse. My mother once wrote "I think compulsory democracy is a contradiction in terms". They fined her.

You can certainly submit blank or invalid ballots. One bloke I know has been writing "You must be joking" on his for years. Technically, you're only required to attend a polling station and get your name crossed off.

Anyone noticed any changes regarding signal strength or reception for better or worse with iOS4? When I upgraded to OS3.1 and I went somewhere without coverage, my 3GS sometimes refused to come back from "No Service" until I either did a co

This is a very legitimate question and it's disappointing to see it modded down. The people in our industry who only care about the money have names like Balmer and Ellison. Are they running the kinds of businesses that people here aspire t

There have been a couple of cases where crews on business jets were very quickly incapacitated after a loss of cabin pressure most famously the aircraft of golfer Paine Stewart. Unfortunately, unconsciousness does seem to occur pretty fast.

High bandwidth proxy service. I can't watch Hulu in Australia and free proxies are too slow. I'd pay to use a proxy service along the backbone somewhere.

Not feasible without Australian distribution centres unfortunately - all the seeds would be seized by customs. Even inter-state transfers are quarantined in some cases (you can't take fruit into WA for example). Add to that multiple, totall

The pendulum can swing the other way too, where "bright" developers over-engineer their solutions. It's either to avoid boredom or "just in case" some future feature is added. I've spent a fair bit of time working with code in some pretty "

Immediate solution: Scan your signature and use an email/web - fax service Better answer: I've thought about this problem a lot. I think the concept of the fax machine itself isn't really the issue, it's the fact that it hasn't evolved from

Exactly - combine the 2 and you might finally kill off the dreaded fax machine (which despite being more arcane than the floppy disk, stubbornly refuses to die) My parents were trying to get a fax machine working over a VOIP line the other

Despite Musk's obvious vested interest, he's spot on here. The achievements of Musk at SpaceX, John Carmack at Armadillo and Burt Rutan at Scaled are impressive enough on their own merits. Consider that all 3 companies combined are spending

I live in one of those countries and I think people are over-analysing the problem. I think you're perfectly safe with: Addr 1 (req) Addr 2 (optional) State (req but including "Outside US") Country (req) Post/Zip Code (optional outside US)
