Not sure if it is an option for you, but I've resorted to using a PO box for these cases. So far, everything seems to be able to be shipped to the PO box address when a locker won't do.

It only left in terms of attention from startups I suppose. I also disagree with the reason the article suggested - SQL could not handle the loads. My opinion is that startups simply liked the idea of not having a schema as it fit their agile approach. So, they went NoSQL because it allowed them to get going faster and change easier.

Maybe the $300 new user credit or $30/year SSD cloud server is new. Probably not too many people knew about these things even if they weren't. Always fun to play around with something different at low or no cost. I actually didn't see too much excitement in the comments!!!

I'm new to Go but shouldn't the defer rawResp.Body.Close() be done after the error checking. If there is an error wouldn't rawResp be nil ?

qDecoder by Seungyoung Kim (www.qdecoder.org) is a terrific open source library for using CGI with C and C++.

A lot of us did what this article mentioned - but probably in the 1990s when desktop programmers were moving to the web. Most probably settled on Perl after trying C and finding development was much faster with Perl.

Can you back your assertion up with some evidence ?

"Seals" used to be quite popular some years ago (e.g. TrustE seal and the BBB Seal), but they seem to get less press these days, so I wonder how important they are for conversions.

Has Aunt Millie really heard of Verisign ? May actually have heard of GoDaddy though due to the advertising.

The Writer's Guild offers a script registration service to help with proving authorship of scripts, and there are for-profit services too: www.protectrite.com and www.nrs-online.com (there are probably others, but I am involved with NRS so I know that one, and ProtectRite has been around probably the longest).
