I had the same issue, Google escheated the money to the state of Delaware (where they're incorporated) after a few years though. Consider checking Delaware's unclaimed property site, you may find your money there.

There's a group out of the University of Warwick that's trying to commercialize a similar idea.

No, I just had to open a support ticket. That said, it definitely added significant friction to signing up, and took two days for the ticket to be approved.

They also aren't allowing "throwaway" VoIP numbers, so you can't even mask your main phone number - I tried signing up with both a Twilio number and a TextNow number and both failed with a "This number is not supported" error. I ended up opening a support ticket and they allowed me to bypass that requirement only after I explained that I don't have a traditional phone number.

Based on the Stallman on Steroids bot from /g/, stallman bot will interject on trigger words from the FSF Words to Avoid list.
This was made as a joke.

From the site of the company that makes most of Nintendo's dev equipment, there was a gang writer that the cartridge plugged into.

There isn't a hard cutoff, those are the recommended grades to receive an offer. I'm currently in the Computer Engineering program here and I can say out of my class, most had around a 90. That said, CE is one of the less competitive programs.
Here's a chart of the number of students rejected from Waterloo Engineering with averages 90+: https://profbillanderson.files.wordpress.com/2014/09/unadmit...

I feel compelled to respond to this, as I know from first-hand experience it isn't true. The pressure is definitely there for Canadian high school students, and 90 isn't enough for some schools anymore. Programs like University of Waterloo's Software Engineering and Mechatronics Engineering and University of Toronto's Engineering Science all require 95+ AND extracurriculars. Same goes for the "best" schools in other categories - Queen's Commerce for business, McMaster's Health Science for premed, etc...

If you use the same database, and just change the code accessing it, it is.

If it only supports local stores, and has nothing to do with auctions, then how is it any different than TaskRabbit?

Personally, I'd go with PHP.
Why?
- It's easy to get things done fast.
- There are plenty of classes available online that'll make things even easier.
- It's easier to maintain (IMHO) than some other languages.
- It'll run on almost all web hosting services cheaply.
- It's scaleable.
If and when you need something more powerful, a seamless transition can be made over to another language.
