Takes me about 10 mins per post to find a captcha that I can actually see. Half the time the slider doesn't show up. At least they have tweaked it slightly now that it remembers your post, at first you had to copy everything and open a

This is what happens when you direct link. Ie FB ad - conversion. Instead you want a showy FB ad that takes them to a landing page that looks like your website (native) to build trust, maybe have them answer some questions to get qualified

Depends what you care about more, revenue or a more humanitarian customer experience. There's plugins like "Miserable User" available to get rid of members without offense / them knowing (unless they are intelligent). Or

What did you think of the Stuxnet code from your perspective? Was it clear who made it from the start, and what it's purpose was? (Iran or China vs India?). Thanks.

I based my decision on liking mountains and the sea, so I live near mountains and the sea. I prefer solitude, I have no friends by choice, and I work online. In my time off I either go to the beach (in the summer) or I go hike mountains. I

Mass. I like to buy cheap clothes. I don't ever want to stand out as "rich person" to anyone... and in some cases it is preferable to just buy a completely new set of clothes rather than having to wash the current set (time m

Unless you put criminal sites in the filter, I can't see how this will help? And if you do...you it will trigger an alert and then they can hax you...legally. Lose lose all round now.

Glad this topic came up here. So my question is...how to block it? VPN? Also what stops them selling access to this?

If it is actually good (ie, you stand by it, proudly!) then put it on Amazon KDP and link to that high up before your landing page (which is your website it appears). You can even drive traffic right to it, ie from FB ads to the amazon link

Little Brother by Cory Doctorow, and it's sequel, Homeland. Actually more of a "what if" set in the US at present time but still shows how there is a very narrow gap between current times and the time predicted in the book!

They have been doing stuff like this for ages. If you sell a product on amazon and they decide they want in, you are forced to give them your source or they terminate you. Then they go to your source (or more likely their source) and buy in
