From http://www.zendesk.com/product/compare it seems that SSL encryption is provided on the starter plan. Only hosting of an ssl certificate for custom domains isn't, which seems fair.

I've emailed pg, hopefully we can get back up and running properly. pg, if you see this, I've updated my crawler to be fully compliant with robots.txt (my delay between requests was too low, even if the overall req/min was fewer than 2).

Please, let's get rid of the saturated fat bogeyman: This is the part conventional “wisdom” doesn’t get: saturated fat in the diet doesn’t directly translate to saturated fats in the blood. It’s all how it’s metabolized. Saturated fat leve

1. If your metabolism and energy level is crashing throughout the day, change your diet, not the frequency. Look up intermittent fasting, and learn that this 6-8 meals per day is a myth: http://www.leangains.com/2010/10/top-ten-fasting-myt

You saw the 100 foot radius bit, but ignore the sentence before. It's an opt-in solution -- If you don't want it, don't opt in. First, you need to turn on auto-payments for each individual store where you’d like to use it—it’s impossible

The problem with that mode is that the content area becomes way too wide. With a 1024-1280 px wide browser window, the sidebar makes the content area an acceptable width for comfortable reading.

That was my exact reaction -- barely usable on my 1280x800 screen. Until there's a better user style out there, this css makes the theme much better for me, by hiding the search bar and the feed toolbar: #top-bar { display: none; }

I guess then, it depends on execution. If you're combining both of these numbers into one single metric of "goodness", then you'll just be accomplishing Pahalial's point of "legitimizing 'poor taste'". If, however, you can expose this infor

I really disagree with the premise of this post. Emotional impact (United 93), psychological impact (Black Swan), intellectual demands (Primer) all equate to a lower rewatchability score, since watching the movie takes a lot out of me. How

Perhaps my http://hckrnews.com will suit you, since it archives anything that makes it onto the homepage (without crawling against the 'More' link). I've resisted putting RSS feeds on hckrnews, because I think RSS feeds are a poor match f

This article is extremely poorly written. If you look at the top graph, 0.05% of the 10,000 websites make use of the header. Of those, 61% had a value set to " * ". 0.05% of 10,000 is 5, so 3 websites had that header set to " * ". I guess 3

antirez -- looking good. But may I ask why the name 'redis-trib' -- what does the trib mean? Short for contrib? Tribune? All I see is the nsfw definition, but maybe that's just me. http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=trib
