    From Wikipedia :

    Built initially in 1589 in response to raids on Havana harbor, el Morro protected the mouth of the harbor with a chain being strung out across the to the fort at La Punta. It first saw action in the 1762 British expedition against Cuba when Lord Albemarle landed in Cojimar and attacked the fort defended by Luis Vicente de Velasco e Isla from its rear. It fell because the English could command the high ground

  22. Re:Amazon Flexible Payment Services on Amazon Payment Systems Take On PayPal · · Score: 1

    Forgot to add that they allow developers to provide other merchants potentially competing services :

    Every FPS transaction has a sender (party making payments), a recipient (party receiving payments), and a caller (party making the API calls to Amazon FPS). Callers are the same as recipients if the developer is the party receiving funds, but developers can also act as third-party callers enabling a transaction between a sender and a recipient (and taking a cut of transactions if desired).

  23. Amazon Flexible Payment Services on Amazon Payment Systems Take On PayPal · · Score: 1

    Instead of linking to an uninteresting web page with very few details, TFA should link to the webpage describing the service on Amazon :
    http://www.amazon.com/Flexible-Payments-Service-AWS/b/ref=sc_fe_l_3?ie=UTF8&node=342430011&no=3440661&me=A36L942TSJ2AJA

    It's much more interesting that what I expected from TFA, it seems to actually be even more flexible and configurable than PayPal :

    Examples of possible Payment Instructions include:

            * Transaction Amount: Specify fixed minimum, maximum, range, or specific amount for a certain payment.
            * Transaction Date: Configure a payment transaction to be executed at a specific time (e.g. specific day, weekly, monthly, or date range).
            * Spending Limit: Set daily, weekly or monthly limits on number of transactions or total amount spent, to control spending on your application.
            * Recipient List: Specify recipients who are authorized to access and receive funds.
            * Payment Method: Specify the payment methods (credit card, bank account debit, balance transfer) you want to accept through your application.
            * Fees: Control which party pays the Amazon FPS charges.

    Niiice!
    Take that PayPal!

  24. Re:too little, too late? on Mono's WinForms 2.0 Implementation Completed · · Score: 1

    Alternatively you can use Boo http://boo.codehaus.org/ , which has a MonoDevelop addin : http://monodevelop.com/Download

    Boo is an object oriented statically-typed programming language for .NET/Mono with a Python inspired syntax and a special focus on language and compiler extensibility.

    It actually has the feel of Python but has also all the features .NET can offer (contrary to IronPython)... and performance [Boo is on par with C# since it is statically-typed by default... you can use dynamic-typing where you really need it])
