Is Paypal any good?

It is the service you are paying for, not paypal. They are only an intermediary.

Transactions are usually instant or within 3 days.

It depends on what you want to do with PayPal.
I like it as a shielding layer between my bank account and the shop.
It allows me to make micro-transactions to any shop, without a second thought on how they might handle my banking information, if they had them.

But I don't know about larger sums. Personally, I do not use PayPal if it's about anything more than a hundred euros.

I wouldn't trust paypal to setup a business around due to all the stories floating on the web of people being locked out of the money they have in there. I would however consider Paypal as an added avenue for payment as long as I didn't keep large amounts of money with them and I find it one of the safer choices when buying something. Actually most of the issues with being a seller that takes Paypal is the fact that they tend to err on the side of caution and over-protect the payer at the expense of the payee.

I want to make a thread about the absurdist and surrealist elements in anime but I want to know if I can and what if there is already in the General Anime forum?

I already PM some mods about it.

Thanks! I was just going to order something online worth about $200.

Irenicus · 2013-11-14, 23:30

^As a payer, you're pretty safe.

As a vendor, there are quite a few horror stories around. PayPal is big enough it can afford to suck at customer service.

Check with the seller for shipping receipt. That is your proof of purchase.

I lost $50 before this way and never got it back because there is no evidence of sale from the other side.

I'm using Google Drive, Adrive.com, Amazon cloud drive and Dropbox to backup important files, my question is: will they ever delete my file because of things like inactivity? like if I abandon the account for years when I log back will my files still be there?

For Google Drive and Dropbox, I think no.

How to maximize coffee effectiveness?

Is cold coffee as effective in giving you a caffeine kick as hot coffee? Does it make any difference if it was initially hot and then became cold? Instant vs. filter for immediate effect? For overall effect?

Basically; its getting late, work needs to be done; if coffee is your only tool, how do you use it to maximize your awakedness/alert (I am assuming of course, that it has that effect on you).

In the case of Google Drive and Dropbox they won't; unless they decide to ban your entire account off the face of the earth.

That being said, shit happens: http://productforums.google.com/foru...ve/WPtLkVSznts

When dealing with "crap in the cloud" make sure to periodically save a local copy of the files too. Both services have their little recovery systems but if it's important just save a unsynced local copy to be safe.

There are other ways things can go poof, such as sharing a folder and the other person deleting your stuff.

I don't like the company. I tried getting an PayPal account many times but i couldn't get verified despite using different cards. What made me mad was the fact my sister has the same type of card as mine and she got verified!

Call your bank. Maybe they blacklisted it.

Just something that crossed my mind the other day. Say, for example, you put a Xbox 360 game disk into a PS3 console: what is stopping the console playing the game? The hardware or the software (or both)?

both. first, xbox 360 use DVD and ps3 use blu-ray. even if they both use the same kind of disk, they have different System software and architecture, and just like how Windows game and app can't be run on Linux (without "emulator" like WINE), a game compiled for one console can't play on another because of various file and platform code difference that the compiler output.

*facepalm*

Ofcourse...

Okay, here's a less moronic better example: Put an Xbox 360 disk into a Windows computer. From your explanation it sounds like it's just a software problem.

Thanks for answering.

What's HotForex Meta Trader and is it safe and should i be worried?

If you're setting your own wi-fi connection, will you have to pay for it continuously, or is it a single payment?

bhl88 · 2013-11-23, 23:21

^ I believe it is every month that you have to pay for the internet.

Question:

I managed to get the second derivative, but is this correct?
