This is what I'm currently planning on doing for handling monthly (possibly annual) subscriptions. Do you handle subscriptions and if so do you have any plans for handling moving the subscriptions from PayPal to Stripe? If I were just to be

What are you hearing that suggests Stripe may not be too far off? I'll soon be in the process of adding payment options to a new UK-based startup and really really really want to believe that Stripe will be an option for me in time.

Thanks, that's a very good point. It should be the case that individual test tasks are selected to be assigned to workers from every site-wide test that has not yet finished regardless of when the test was started - think equal priority pac

This is great news. I'll be adding subscription payment options to my UK-based startup in a few months. I'd love to be able to use Stripe and I hope that the introduction of Paymill brings Stripe support to the UK more swiftly. If not, I ca

The Chromebox is a fast, compact home or office device. The first sentence describes this as a device not a computer . This seems like a poor choice, as is that the page mentions the word 'computer' not once.

In terms of usability, how does this compare to leaving the ordering unchanged and instead setting 10 as the initially-selected choice?

That'll be 10 * K lines of code, where K is the underestimation factor. Not to mention N unit tests to cover comment removal verification.

That would actually be a very interesting list. Hard to complete exhaustively, but a few relevant examples would be great!

The story only details the sending of a password in plain text. You are right in that this provides no evidence of the password being stored in plain text. It is equally plausible, without further evidence, that pingdom is merely changing t

It was noted by Amy Schade during the 2008 NNG Usability Week conference that "Alertbox" would not be a wise choice if selected now but that the branding is too strong to support an easy change.

Statements concerning the need to test aside, "almost unusable" is very likely a gross overstatement. To state http://useit.com is almost unusable is equivalent to saying, at the very least, that it is hard to use. It probably could be ea

Object equality is non-trivial matter and subjective. Java delegates the consideration of object equality to Object.equals(), intended to be implemented by yourself as required. That PHP chooses not to try and provide a means of determining

HDNL as an organisation is terrible. Calling the only officially published HDNL number doesn't really help in getting a package delivered. HDNL staff working at depots are far enough removed from the management chain that their interests ar

That explains why I also got "Answered, Hangup" with my UK landline even though the phone certainly didn't right. Might be good if the in-page demo mentioned the limited (US-only) aspect as it wasn't obvious to me that it didn't work with m

In this case yes. The torrent file from burnbit appears to list only the burnbit tracker. A torrent file can list multiple trackers. It would make more sense for burnbit to take the official torrent and add their tracker to the list, allowi

There's no per-IP restriction that I could see. I tried 4 different browsers on the same machine and each was able to try. I tried with new browser sessions, with HTTP cookies and Flash cookies cleared all to no avail. I even tried: curl -d

Spoofing the referrer header is trivial and so wouldn't offer any protection in this case. I do, however, wonder if there would be any benefit to scraping the beewulf site. Retrieving and parsing the relevant headers yourself is trivial and

Would a site specific browser with some clever caching not be a good compromise? A SSB could start out as an offline Wikipedia reader with no offline content. As and when online content is retrieved it is cached locally forever. When an art

An enterprise-level application called SITS is heavily used by UK universities and colleges to manage courses, degree programs, student records and timetabling (for classes and exams). SITS is cumbersome, expensive and has a truly appalling
