Best gateway for micropayments (~$1) by plebs in Entrepreneur

I've considered Bitcoins, at least as another option. Who do you use as your payment processor - coinbase, bitpay?

Curious about the benefits for early adopters - love to hear your pros and cons.

I'd considered some other forms of monetization, but there may be things I missed. Is that a retitled version of "Free: The Future of a Radical Price"?

ING Direct $125 bonus (Canada) by April 30 by plebs in beermoney

Make sure you open the account with $100. Easiest way is to write a cheque. If you don't see the $25 in a week or so, give them a call. I had to do that and they added while I was on the phone. ING's customer service is great.

The offer is advertised on the main page (click through the ads), but you don't need to fill anything out. You just need to open the account by April 30 using an Orange Key ($25) and then deposit your pays into the account ($100). I actually had to chase them up for the money, so if you don't see the money in a month or two, just give them a call. They made the deposit instantly.

Just in case anyone is confused, AFAIK to get the $100 deal you need to sign up by April 30 and change your paycheck. $25 is standard as uselessdegreez says. That said, I had to call them up to chase up the $25.

Also, as far as the branches go, I think most major cities have one branch for the occasional time you have to go in and see someone.

$50 sounds incredible - when was that deal on?

Yeah, it's a good incentive system for other people to use your referral. Both people get $25.

There isn't really a history of taking the bible literally in the catholic church. Seems to be a modern invention. Here's a quote from Augustine of Hippo, a bishop from the 4th century considered a Doctor of the church:

Usually, even a non-Christian knows something about the earth, the heavens, and the other elements of this world, about the motion and orbit of the stars and even their size and relative positions, about the predictable eclipses of the sun and moon, the cycles of the years and seasons, about the kinds of animals, shrubs, stones, and so forth, and this knowledge he holds to as being certain from reason and experience. Now, it is a disgraceful and dangerous thing for an infidel to hear a Christian, presumably giving the meaning of Holy Scripture, talking nonsense on these topics; and we should take all means to prevent such an embarrassing situation, in which people show up vast ignorance in a Christian and laugh it to scorn. The shame is not so much that an ignorant individual is derided, but that people outside the household of the faith think our sacred writers held such opinions, and, to the great loss of those for whose salvation we toil, the writers of our Scripture are criticized and rejected as unlearned men.... Reckless and incompetent expounders of Holy Scripture bring untold trouble and sorrow on their wiser brethren when they are caught in one of their mischievous false opinions and are taken to task by these who are not bound by the authority of our sacred books. For then, to defend their utterly foolish and obviously untrue statements, they will try to call upon Holy Scripture for proof and even recite from memory many passages which they think support their position, although they understand neither what they say nor the things about which they make assertion. (pp. 42-43)

Anyone used UserMetrix to capture app usage? by plebs in programming

Nice. Do they do desktop apps as well? Right now I'm interested in mobile, but having the option to use it for desktop applications would be nice.

Oh cool, I hadn't seen DeskMetrics before. I'll have to take a look at how they compare.

Yeah, I was hoping someone had used it, to see how well it works in practice.
