    I've wondered if Amazon co-locates its own stock with that of Fulfillment By Amazon stock which would mean you could end up with anything as long as it looks similar and has the sa…

    I've changed careers and am no longer programming (a bit of VBScript now and again doesn't count does it?!). My new career involves a few years of training and I need to learn, mem…

    Is there any reason why I should have any sympathy? From my basic understanding, these companies engineer their structures and finances in weird and wonderful ways to reduce their …

    It's worrying how much mileage "think of the children" and counter-terrorism gets.

    I'm sorry if I'm misunderstanding but I don't think they charge to export your data any longer. I remember they did (I refused to pay) but I recently purchased a Charge HR and foun…

    One of my sites was a victim of the negative SEO trick, I kept getting warnings from Google (Site violates Google's quality guidelines) that there were links to my site that violat…
