    Phone verification?

    There is also TeleSign, but the require $100/month minumum sales. Someone might decide to aggregate the verification from a bunch of providers and start reselling TeleSign's verification. I think MaxMind was using them.

    Phone verification?

    Yes, it would make sense to limit this to maximum 1 or 2 calls or sms per customer, for more you need to open a ticket. Also a phone number that was already used by another customer should be blocked. Also the system should be able to identify and reject premium rate and possibly VoIP phone...

    Phone verification?

    @trewq i don't have any cost figure in mind, probably something like what maxmind's model was - preload some credits, and then every call costs something (probably different price per country / destination).

    Phone verification?

    We are currently using MaxMind's phone verification to verify all orders. However as you probably know MaxMind is shutting down this service at the end of the year. So what do you guys use for phone verification? Is there any other similar alternative? I could code something to do it, but if...

    Ferguson - No Indictment

    Well, if i were in the cop's shoes and some angry gangster was coming my way i would certainly shoot him too. As many times as i can, until he drops down.

    Ferguson - No Indictment

    So how many bullets did they find in this guy? Did the bullets enter from the front of from the back?

    Ferguson - No Indictment

    I guess they can always count and compare the number of shells found with the number of bullets found in the body.

    Ferguson - No Indictment

    "Was MB running away from DW when fired upon"? What is the purpose of this question in the first place? If the bullet holes were in his back he was running away. If the bullet holes were on his front he was not running away. There is no need to ask witnesses about this, when this can be proven...

    Ferguson - No Indictment

    I remember there were some riots and looting in UK some years ago. I wasn't there obviously, but from what i heard the police did nothing to interfere. They just sit and watched and waited for everything to calm down. Then weeks and months later they identified the persons who participated in...

    Ferguson - No Indictment

    I don't understand why the police and other force agencies would allow this to happen? If the police can't handle it, send in a team of navy seals or whatever to deal with these terrorists.

    Linux install continually fails. Any ideas?

    Did you try with Ubuntu 14.04? I recently had to install an OS on some brand new HP laptop. Tried debian - no HDD detected. Tried CentOS - the HDD was there, but the network card wasn't working after install. In the end tried ubuntu 14.04 - everything worked, except for the stupid screen saver /...

    USB cables that don't suck - anyone?

    I think $15 for a USB cable is not worth it. You can still find a way to break it. Better buy 15 $1 cables and replace them as needed :) After all it's just a charging cable, not something mission critical.

    We will, we will DDoS you...

    The DNS was working but it was returning no A records, just MX records. Probably the A records were removed on purpose.

    [OpenVZ] Ploop, Fuse, ext4 improvements in new test kernel

    While ploop does make the useless dd benchmark even more useless, it also has real world advantages. Ever tried backing up or migrating a VPS with millions of files inside? Takes forever on simfs. With ploop it can work.

    Fraud Record

    It can't send email since FraudRecord doesn't know the email of the reported person. It only receives a strong one-way hash of the email address (and other details) and has now way to derive the real email address from this hash.
