err, she was also reported to have thrown a party for him after the event...

yes its crazy, he is charged with starting to have sex with a condom and apparently she claims when they finished there was no condom. thats it folks.

Its a major SEO tactic, if you don't get involved someone else will, and as long as you have an interesting perspective on the case and add value to the discussion, you are contributing rather than doing anything wrong.

Take this post: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1900735 this is something I have just submitted but I am adding value in the article, it is relevant to HN visitors and the case scenario has historical video footage to detail a current event company goes into administration (Video shows the reasons why the company went into administration) which was made 1 year ago and well before these events.

but since its a 'current event' - surely the SEO value is very time constrained?

Also, i didnt really mean writing about it, I actually meant DOING it. so in this example - is AOL being dirty by hijacking Facebook's email launch? Do they look bad by trying to launch a few hours before Facebook?

oh :( thought was a nice addition.

citi link were the best when I used them, we sent out over 1 million GBP of stock per year. zero problems, all other companies were loosing stuff all the time.

remote OK?

i moved away from paypal, went pci compliant, got a merchant account, was a pain stetting up but feel so much better on the other side.

Yes, that's a good way to get payments from customers to you, but it sucks as a way of paying for auction goods and freelance work, which is how I used to use paypal.

International wire transfers are a lot harder to do without actually visiting a branch of the bank I'm with and filling out a bunch of forms, and they take much longer to process too.

That's my personal problem too. Sending money from US to Canada or Canada to the US is a pain. If only they had the same check clearance system, it would solve so much. Same as how having similar phone numbers makes it so much easier.

Heh. jacquesm lives somewhere that doesn't even have checks!

When I needed to get paid by a Dutch company, the easiest solution turned out to be for me to open a new bank account.

Well I think the US is one of the only countries left using checks. Everyone else (Most of Europe) has moved on to direct bank transfers for everything.

I can do international wire transfers straight from my bank's online interface - is there a regulatory reason that US and Canadian banks can't offer something similar?

Nope, we have this too. I know Chase & BoA both do it online.

have your sales increased

don't tell me you aren't using analytics!

This is correct, I offer PCI complaince tools and advice, for recurring billing, you will need to have pci scanning on your servers, if your hosted and not doing sys admin yourselves or if you dont have sys admin skills it's going to cost you dearly. Basic advice, use a linode, get a sys admin who knows about pci compliance, set up pci compliant approved server, check with scanning software, we offer it for 200 GBP which includes the SAQ wizard which will save you days. pcicompliance.org.uk, nightmare process. Best advice, just starting, use Paypal...

I thought VMs didn't qualify for PCI compliance unless you had the physical hardware the VM runs on.

I want to patent money too.

Could be really interesting for creating silios within sites for automagically creating navigation bars whereby all the related nav links were relevant to the page currently being viewed, removing unrelated clutter and offering navigation for a site much more relevant.
