D'oh, I had no idea, and here I am already having spent months talking to NAB in order to charge USD and support AMEX. Stripe seems a lot cheaper too in terms of fees. Stripe AU su…

Ian, I agree that's the right mind frame to be in, but I notice they (DevExpress) didn't address it in their demo or docs. They have a 'wait' function that waits for a period of ti…

I like the visual method of writing scripts, but having used Selenium + SauceLabs.com on a real app and dealing with functional browser tests every day, I'm concerned about: * Timi…
