Erlang is also the death of a lot of fluff articles of late.
The thing with Paypal is that they aren't quite so flexible and they have high fees, 3 to 4% or more. My only complaint was that they are very pro-consumer, meaning they side with the credit card company when the purchaser of your goods complains, but this is normal. There are charge backs with credit cards too if you do your own processing and payment management.
Paypal is the only payment system I've used. I wish their system was easier to customize.
You may want to check out Amazon FPS, but I haven't used them.
I use paypal. It's quick to setup and has Paypal IPN which is essentially a call back to your system to let it know that the funds have been received or an order has been made. You can also set up free trial periods and things like that. It's quite easy to use.
The problem is that twenty somethings don't vote and silver hairs do.
I was watching footage from the town hall meetings around the country for the health care reform and noticed only one person without gray hair there and she was still old.
What does this have to do with twitter? It's really annoying to see these types of services say now you can do this for twitter, just capitalizing on the twitter brand.
Really, you can do this with Jing, which is more feature rich and also easier to use. http://www.jingproject.com
Look we're all hackers here. We know SQL Injection isn't complicated for us, but it is complicated for the majority of the world. In fact, it's probably an impossible task for 95% of the world, and very very difficult for another 4% on top of that, and even the last 1% would have to experiment a bit to figure out which string to submit to get the information.
I'm not sure all of us here are hackers and we don't always come here for programming articles. I read hacker news as an alternative to google news or watching tv. For me, it's mostly entertainment that alleviates my boredom with a weighting toward improving my skillset and keeping up to date in my industry.
If there were only code articles or technology articles, it'd get boring and I'd probably come back less often. I probably spend way too much time here really, but I probably click on 75% or more of the articles on the front page. I click on them because they are interesting, not necessarily because they are about programming or technology -- they expand my mind.
There was an article here the other day from some hacker that almost proudly stated that he went through 2 or 3 laptops a year. I thought this was absolutely ridiculous. My laptops last five years or more. What a waste of money.
If you love something, take care of it and it'll last longer and treat you well. We live in a disposable society. I was always taught to take care of things so they would last. You too apparently.
It seems there are a lot of baby articles, especially contrarian opinions about articles and my wife just sent me this. Thought it may be of interest. A bit shocking when first thinking it, but maybe there's something to it for those raising little hackers of their own.
