If you're going that route, you should allow the contributor to pick from a selection of charities.

I rolled my own Google Voice using the Twilio API. It's not free, but it works.

About ten years ago I was working for a company that was featured in a (fairly glowing) article in the NYT. We linked to it from our media page, and a month or two later received a similar letter from their legal department instructing us

I've been using Braintree for a few years, and I'm very happy with them.

I use the Google Voice app on my iPhone. Are there different features on Android?

Funny - I switched to an Apple keyboard a few years ago because I found it much more comfortable to have a keyboard with shorter key travel.

On the bright side, you'll never make this mistake again. Turn it over to collections ASAP.

I'm using Windows 8 with the aftermarket StarDock start menu, and I've pretty much forgotten that I'm not using Win7 until I accidentally blunder back into Metro. I thought Metro was really neat for the first 20 minutes after I upgraded -

Definitely, I'd drop the free plan and offer a trial instead. My guess is that your plan distinctions are lost on most of your target customers who "just need a website".

I just looked at your website. Why offer a free plan at all?

Looks like stock photography. I assume it's meant to show a happy project team using their software.

Our high school had a wood and metal shop (late 1980s), but the classes were positioned as a track for kids who weren't likely to attend college.

>How do you find studs? Too bad nearly EVERY single stud finder is a mediocre piece of shit. Or completely worthless if you have plaster and lathe walls.

Put out some resumes, get a job offer. You'll be surprised at how seriously they take you when they realize that the guy who solves all of their problems is going away.

Yes, although it's not easily replicable. I spent a couple of years working remotely as a web grunt. Some weeks were insanely busy, but in general it only took a few hours a day of my time. I was able to do a lot of work on my startup bet

Microsoft does have a free mail product ( http://domains.live.com ), but it's been plagued by problems recently. For example, it was impossible to add new domains or users between January 30th and February 5th. The only recourse when some

Your understanding is correct - you cannot store CVV under any circumstances. There's no way around this. When we do recurring payments, we're only able to pass CVV on the first transaction.

Really ineffective performance measurement standards and incentives. When there is no reward for going above and beyond or penalty for simply coasting by, you're essentially creating a haven for shitty employees.

I've had fantastic managers at terrible companies. In each case, I left because of the company, not because of the manager.

Hopefully this will get enough attention that we can get a response from Rackspace.

Glad to help. I co-founded an online retail company in the early 00s and (foolishly?) decided that the off-the-shelf stuff available at the time didn't solve our problems, so I ended up writing a lot of code to handle our specific inventory

First, well done. It's hard doing this kind of thing in a vacuum, and this is a great start. From my perspective, the inventory management piece needs some work. Think about it this way - you get a half dozen boxes in with four different

A friend works at a company that sends around a beer cart at 4pm on Fridays. It seems like sort of a bad idea to provide employees with alcohol, then send them out into rush hour traffic.

I have a new 11" Macbook Air, and I use it on a daily basis for coding. Portability was my primary concern (I wanted something I could carry with me whenever I leave the house), and I've been really impressed by the speed.

These have been cooking for a long time. I was on the MDI mailing list back in 2000/2001 when they were supposedly coming to market the following year. It's cool to finally see them in production - I thought it might never happen.
