IIRC domains names read from the right and the first dot is omitted. It's actually com. example.com. subdomain.example.com.

I always go through Wikipedia if I want to download software for this exact reason.

No anti virus software is even best-practice for Windows. At least third party anti virus software.

The story keeps getting better.

This is the exact reason why we recently changed our price structure. Now the price of a resource increases with the size of the plan. Now discounts won't hurt so much.

Thanks for your feedback. Five years ago we switched from a software that you install yourself on your own server to a Saas offering. The reason for this was that customers didn't …

Five years ago I've created an update policy that defines how long after the purchase you receive the latest version for free. That was five years too late for this specific custom…

Yes, I did that and they accepted without comment. Interestingly enough, the total invoice that included some programming work was four figures. The update fee on the other hand wa…

Five years ago I specifically added the clause that updates are free within twelve months after purchase. So the customer is kind of right to be surprised if he bought the software…

I had to explain to a customer today why there is an update fee for the software I maintain. Why is it so hard to understand that if you paid fifty dollars ten years ago, you can't…

> To me it didn't look like they tried too hard to take the picture from the same angle etc. And to me it looked pretty spot on. I imagine it's pretty hard to find the exact same p…

I a saturated market, you'll need marketing. SEO should be part of that.

Disposable mail account that expires after 60 minutes. Costs $60 to host and generates a monthly revenue of $200. It doesn't require any involvement on my part anymore.

Joel Spolsky - I especially like the essays about how to treat programmers right.

I wouldn't worry too much about it. In my opinion a bug bounty program is another marketing tool of big companies. They have to portray an image of a company that cares about secur…

I have a domain where the extension is the last two letters of my last name, like mill.er. It also gives me a pretty cool mail address, e.g. nick@mill.er.

I use Keepass and haven't found any fault with it. It came as a recommendation in a blog a couple of years ago.

I think that's a good idea. Thanks.

A couple of big companies are using our SaaS and it would be nice to list their logos on our website. Unfortunately, the biggest one we asked said no. In order to leave the door op…

Well, OP said "or so" and sometimes half a year seems like eternity in the wrong circumstances. ;-)

For me it's not the question of whether they're doing it. Its technically feasible, so it's being done. What interests me more is whether the broad user base cares enough to change…

I treat personal projects like therapy. Doing something for me, trying something new makes me feel good. Even if I just have a working prototype I have the sense that I've accompli…
