Not sure if it is an option for you, but I've resorted to using a PO box for these cases. So far, everything seems to be able to be shipped to the PO box address when a locker won't do.

It only left in terms of attention from startups I suppose. I also disagree with the reason the article suggested - SQL could not handle the loads. My opinion is that startups simply liked the idea of not having a schema as it fit their agi

Maybe the $300 new user credit or $30/year SSD cloud server is new. Probably not too many people knew about these things even if they weren't. Always fun to play around with something different at low or no cost. I actually didn&#

qDecoder by Seungyoung Kim (www.qdecoder.org) is a terrific open source library for using CGI with C and C++. A lot of us did what this article mentioned - but probably in the 1990s when desktop programmers were moving to the web. Most prob

Can you back your assertion up with some evidence ? "Seals" used to be quite popular some years ago (e.g. TrustE seal and the BBB Seal), but they seem to get less press these days, so I wonder how important they are for conversions. Has Aun

You don't need to take a Mensa test to join Mensa. If you have already done very well on a past GRE, LSAT or other accepted test then you can also qualify. Perhaps your old IQ exam results are already sufficient to join. The Mensa site has

They have thought about - MS tried to buy Yahoo. Didn't work - not too many other alternatives - maybe they'll try again. Don't forget also that MS owns a chunk of Facebook. MS is starting to go big on the cloud too, so they are getting int

One way to beat Amazon is to make cloud development easier. I think they will do that. IMHO, Microsoft does make good development environments. People will pay for ease of use. Another way is for Microsoft to do a great job of selling the c

Microsoft, Google, Yahoo, Apple, Oracle and all other large tech corporations benefit if the money to startups is cut off or diminished. Getting rid of potential competition through legislation is a tried and true method.

If mod_perl had been easy to use then I think Perl would not have lost much ground to PHP. PHP solved a particular problem back then - people wanted an interpreter embedded in Apache for better performance. PHP made it simple, mod_perl didn

IMHO, the root problem is the corporate entity, which is a creation of the State, and not a necessary aspect of capitalism. The nature of the corporate entity is a problem that capitalists (including Rand) like to avoid discussing. Limited
