    I agree but what happens if someone posts under someone else's name? It would probably be best not to perpetuate these things and to just end the vitriol now.

    Does anyone know of any replacements? I get zero chargebacks via Google and struggle to find anything that's comparable? I've got the usual horror story behind PayPal (that cost a …

    From my understanding is that it lets the customer's bank see exactly who's making the payment and gives them a chance to deny it. The merchant is then protected from fraudulent ch…

    From my understanding 3D secure would go a long way to help protect against chargebacks. Why not make it optional? https://support.stripe.com/questions/does-stripe-support-3d-...

    I heard years ago that Level 3 were trying to encourage people (non-customers?) not to use these DNS servers. I guess this is one way to ask people not to use them. Having said tha…

    As an alternative, I switched to Adblock Edge: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/adblock-edge/

    Yes I would, I'd probably jump back to them. I've just not had time to sit down this year!

    Definitely a third party service. Then place the bumper sticker "No Bitcoins on our servers" somewhere :) I integrated MtGox and BitPay. Compared to Google Checkout (XML mania) and…

    Earlier today I received a phone call from a number in Mountain View CA. It was Google letting me know in advance that Google Checkout was to be shut down (and asking to keep the c…

    This won't protect against OVH being compromised. In the manager you can select the netboot / PXE option and "boot from rescue mode". From there you get e-mailed the logins from th…

    I personally feel this is a really minor problem (if that!) I found my personal phone number appearing on customer bank statements as a Stripe merchant. That's a bigger deal than e…

    This left me thinking "what are the signs of cancer"? Here are a couple of links after a quick search: * http://www.cancer.org/cancer/cancerbasics/signs-and-symptoms... * http://ww…

    Have you considered providing this data to merchants? For example, it would be great to know if you do get any calls for customers (or my prospective customers) and to see roughly …

    I laughed, but that's not true. It's the first payment option available: http://bitcoin2012.com/tickets It's just done manually.

    I was in a similar position with my ex -- although I think I used my start up as an escape putting more time into it than I would have otherwise. Then again, I could just have an a…

    No it does not, it's only when you ping their edge routers do you see packet loss, they still pass all traffic (and thus ping) over them just fine. You can see this in traceroutes …

    Comment #4270760

    It probably won't change. Their US routers do not appear to be any different to the EU ones (e.g., they both intentionally rate limit ping to them so you'll see a lot of timeouts).…

    I have a response from OVH: We are aware of this and are currently investigating it. Our initial thoughts were that it was indeed a compromise but after further review it seems tha…

    That's the only reason you've found so far? That's pretty good. They have much worse things in place:- their anti-dos measures make it near impossible to put anything of value on t…

    I just fired off an e-mail to OVH to see their response (and to probably make them more aware of this). OVH pre-install a number of things by default on their Debian image includin…

    I have decided on wanting to use riak as well. I was wondering if anyone had examples of how they used it with their data model? For example this article mentions "With appropriate…

    Redis can only perform asynchronous replication because it uses a single thread. It cannot block the main thread waiting for the network and have acceptable performance. This makes…
