While not possible for everybody, a dropbox is what you want: http://www.amazon.com/Architectural-Mailboxes-6900RZ-Elephan... Effectively, your own deposit-only lockbox that any mail service can use.

I'm curious? Why force them to give their money away? It sounds counter-intuitive to me. Teach them the value of money, but then completely negate any value by forcing them to give it away?

Meanwhile, in the UK, Amazon appear to have opted to not use existing services like the Post Office (who are capable enough to deliver packages) and gone with their own "Amazon Logistics" (who don't seem to be able to deliver

Do restaurant's scale? Find a bigger venue. Open another store. Maybe they should just deploy to Heroku or Appengine and have them scale to meet their table needs.

I suspect this might be down to the 'dynamically generated' maps feature in the current maps.google.com preview. Either way, unless Google has somehow managed to bypass extortionate data roaming charges, spotty local coverage, and

Mturk can be used as a source for automation training. If you start writing bots to do the tasks, you're now the mostly-blind leading the blind.

I'd wager it's even simpler than that. At some point the signal must a) be converted from electrical to optical b) be boosted down the wire c) be converted from optical to electrical Easiest solution? Tap in at A, B or C. Who&#x27

I doubt it's changed much. Where would the traffic go? It's hard enough replacing products & services from the 'big companies' (google, facebook apple, etc) with smaller ones operating inside the US. Let alone replac

Depends where you are, and how old the crossing is. (from memory) The older type has a small needle on the bottom that vibrates/jabs you. But the newer crossing have the larger larger buttons. Which have an electrical(?) panel on the direct

What's with the last image in the carousel? It seems to take strong cues from soviet propaganda. The red flag, workers holding their tools, ready to fight. Did Manchester become the Soviet Republic of Manchester? http://img0083.popscreencd

Does this really solve a problem? The only time I've needed to get keys cut was when I've either lost a key or moved house and needed a copy immediately. Why would I risk my security and have to wait for the mailman? I can get a key cut at

The problem with self-hosting is the setup and maintenance, and risks that goes with it. I'm quite happy paying for a service because when it breaks, I can reasonably expect the problem to resolve itself. If I host my own mail, when it brea

I don't know if I goofed up, or chrome went mental, or something else. But I tried to use their bootstrap theme(?) and Chrome started churning through CPU and memory, stopped rendering things, and generally stopped working. Removed the flat

For me, The pain isn't necessarily painful. It's closer to a dull ache that's always there. There are times where it gets worse, and it's like somebody's kicked you, and times when its really bad like when somebody's stabbed you. But genera

I'm not entirely sure if it's still classified as dropshipping. But I've been told that some postal services (e.g. NZ Post) are able to provide dropshipping like logistics for you. e.g. You manufacture your product in China. The postal serv

It's a move that makes sense sure. But it irks me that a service I've been using for however long just one day decides to cut my quota by 80%. It doesn't exactly spur me to start paying.

What would make this perfect, is a "QR Keyboard" that reads from the QR code and dumps it into any other input field.

The only thing that instantly tells me what squash actually is is in the <title> tag. Which chrome truncates to ~30 characters. Is it a pest control system that doesn't send me emails?

iirc, The British did this in India but with snakes. It wasn't long until the locals just farmed snakes to sell to the British. Plus, retrieving landmines would be a pointlessly dangerous task, when all you really need to do is blow them up
