I've just started looking into this. From what I've read, the SIRV visa allows permanent resident status of individuals to the Philippines, and allows them to own a corporation, for the mere investment of $75,000 USD. There is a list of allowed corporation sectors, but one of them is software...

I run a site which offers business listings. For legal reasons I do not remove any business listings, but I do let anyone comment on them and let others know the listings are incorrect. So this woman gets a new phone number, and the number was previously held by a male escort, this means she...

I haven't been able to find anything on this, so I presume there is very little legal precedence. If you license/lease a domain to a company, what liability can you incur from the companies use of the domain? Here are a couple of situations to ponder. If a domain is leased out, is it treated...

Invalid SQL: INSERT IGNORE INTO session (sessionhash, userid, host, idhash, lastactivity, location, styleid, languageid, loggedin, inforum, inthread, incalendar, badlocation, useragent, bypass, profileupdate) VALUES ('fba6c3bb3ab7cf7b6a8ac00xxxxx', xxxxx, '67.206.xxxxx'...

I just got an email from conductsearch.com to my copeac email address (copeac@mydomain.com) sent via iContact. The list I'm on says ConductSearch_TradeShow but I'd have never given out that address ever at a trade show, and the email is targeted. Anyone else get this? Maybe a rogue asshole...

Biertijd.com // Media » Beer.. Bottoms Up! Respect to the engineer behind this shit!

A while back I heard an interesting perspective on the fax machine which I feel relates to facebook and it's crazy valuation. So if you think about the first fax machine being created, it cost around $2K to buy, but it effectively had zero value since having no other machines to send to it had...

We're having some issues gaining traction with a new service we offer to Australians due to a lot of skepticism over our product. We feel the best way to build trust is to have those of you with a strong presence in Australian communities talk about our service. We want to pay to have site...

You guys get a shitload of CVV/dump style spam all over the place, so I'd like to suggest a very simple fix to stop 99% of it. Stop Forum Spam They have a vBulletin plugin which does an IP, username and email address lookup on signup. In my experience it has dropped spam of the sort you guys...

So I have a flash guy, he's good at what he does, and he doesn't cost me much to keep on the books. I had a lot of work for him for the last year or so, but now I'm basically out of things for him to do. I don't want to get rid of him because it's hard to find good devs, and he is cheap, but...

I use Basecamp right now for most of my to-do needs. The todo functionality is as nice as you need, everything is ajax and there isn't a hell of a lot wrong with it. I can't seem to find any software out there that is as advanced as I want, but has enough of a simple interface that it won't get...

BP contracted out Transocean to drill for them. Doing so is standard practice in the industry. Transcocean messed up, and BP having the contract over the oil takes blame for it. BP mobilizes a second rig to get it over there to drill a second hole and concrete it - surprise surprise it takes a...

Take it all as random late night dribble for all I care, we all have opinions, but if it makes you think then it's done it's job. Motivation Everyone has different motivation, however typically techs have a total opposite motivation to sales people. Techs typically have the curse of...

I always end up buying more books than I'm ever going to read... Anyone got any on-topic recommendations?

So I dumped some contact details in one of those crappy lead sites to see what SEO companies could do for me. The short of the request being "I want to build authority, I want relevant authoritative incoming links, what's your link building strategy for my situation?" So far I'm up to three of...
