I'm trying to build an eCommerce website for someone who wants to sell stuff online. All I want to do is purchase and download some icon's (images) and use them as links to direct users to the owner's social media. But, when I go to places like ShutterStock or RoyaltyFree123, just about every set of social media icons are labeled "Editorial Use Only" which basically means only news outlets can use them. Does this mean I can't include these icons as image links in a regular eCommerce website? I'm not trying to resell or redistribute or any of that nonsense. I just want to keep things legal so that my clients don't get hurt and rep doesn't get ruined. Not sure why a Facebook icon would warrant a restriction like this when there is nothing in it that is complex enough that it deserves legal protection.

I have a friend who is doing a year for possession of weed and DUI. If it's important to you, she didn't hit anyone. She has small children in the house, and she stands to loose the house because she is in jail. Regardless of your moral perspective on this matter, we think a year away from her children is too long. We were told it is possible to get a sentence modified. How do you go about doing this? Is there a form or something that has to be filled out? Do I go to the Court House? Right now we are trying to keep lawyers out of this because they are too expensive. I tried googling this issue, but the legaleze out there is long and complex. I just need to know what steps she can take to get the ball rolling. Has anyone out there gone through this before? The friend was arrested and tried in Clayton County Superior Court located in Jonesboro Georgia.

Thanks.

I'm planning on taking vacation in Panama City Florida between July 5th and July 8th. I have never been there before. Where can I go to get to get some package deals? Or, can I just arrive there and look for things to do? I don't know where to start. I'm not some young punk looking to get hammered every night and find some chick to get with. I'm just a simple man trying to show his girl a good time.Please help me. Thanks.

If I run on a treadmill for about 20 min, I'll feel like I expended alot of energy. If I use the elliptical, however, I feel like I barely break a sweat, yet it shows that the same amount of calories (if not more) are burned than if I run. I've learned bit about rate of perceived exertion, but is there something more going on? I guess what I'm trying to ask is - what added benefit does one get from running vs using the elliptical machine since I'm burning the same amount of calories from either, but the elliptical is considerably easier?

I recieved a Form 5498 IRA in the mail. This is the first time for me. Do I have to report it on my taxes? It says on the Form that it is not reported to the IRS.

Thanks.

Let's say I let my friend borrow my car. The insurance is paid off, and no one has been drinking or anything like that. The friend wrecks the car and it is determined to be the friend's fault. Am I legally liable for damages, or is it on the friend? What if the accident results in injury or death? Can I be held criminaly responsible? How does a typical insurance company handle this situation? (I have bare minimum limited coverage)

I have just been hired by a company, and they said they would grant me options on 10000 shares of common stock. 25% vest at after the first 12 months of employment, and the balance vests at a rate of 1/36th per month. I don't know the price yet, but I get the feeling the price could be $0. I'm having trouble making sense of all this.

25% of 10000 is 2500 shares. If i choose to exercise the option (by the way, what does "exercise" mean?) then does that mean I have to cough up money at their asking price all at once, or is there typically some window period to get the cash assuming the price is not 0?

What does vesting mean exactly? The company says 25% (2500 shares) vest after the first 12 months of employment. Does this mean I'm limited to buying no more than 25% at what ever price they ask, then waiting 12 months before making a decision to buy more, sell, or stay? Whats the sequence of events here?

Please feel free to give me a "layman's" definition of Common stock, vesting, and what I should do. Am I wasting my time looking into this? Is this something I should pursue vigorously? What would happen if the company was bought out? What are the risks if any?

Thanks.

I hate running! I'm capable of running, but I just hate it! Can I loose weight from the eliptical machine alone - even if it takes more time? The way I see it, summer is not for another 5 months, so I got all the time in the world. I heard you have to run because that's the only way you will boost the metabolism. Do I have to run?

I have a camera that came from Great Britain. I'm not sure if I should plug it into the wall (here in the US). I understand that if I had an American electronic device, I could not plug it into a European wall socket because the device might explode due to the difference in voltage between the US and Europe. But is this true the other way around?

If I cannot plug a British device in directly, then what other device would I need to convert the voltage? Would it be a transformer or something?

If I can plug it in to an American wall socket, then can I also connect it into an American laptop via usb? And what about the memory card - it's an SD memory chip. Will that work fine with an American laptop?

Here are the specs for the camera charger:

input:

100V - 240V

AC 50/60 Hz

0.085A(100V) - 0.05A(240V)

output:

4.2V

DC 0.7A

The camera itself says, DC 4.3V.

I'm creating a website and I have many javascript/Ajax functions. The functions are complex and involve many utility (private) functions. I could just put all the functions in one source file, but that might be cumbersome. Would it be wise to "tier" the javascript by, say, putting all the data access logic on one source file, all the business logic in another file, and all the display logic in another file? Or can I separate the logic by components, like creating a shopping cart object on one file, a customer object on another file, and a catalog object on another file? Or should I just put everything on one file? What do the pros usually do?

Thanks.

I'm in the middle of designing a website, and I want to add a shopping cart. I already know I'll have to use asp.net for the shopping cart. My question is this; since the shopping cart is the only thing on the website that involves complex functionality, should I use asp.net for the application pages that house the shopping cart and use html for the rest of the pages? Or should I just create the entire site in asp.net? The rest of the pages are fairly simple and require no complex functionality. How is it done by the pros? Do they just create the entire site in asp.net, or do they create the majority of the site in html and then add a few asp.net pages for complex server-side functions? (Don't worry about styling; I know how to maintain consistency in styling across technologies. And don't worry about AJAX; I don't plan on using AJAX at this time.)

Thanks.

I am the owner of a small restaurant, and I am trying to decide which is better. Should I look for a cheap web designer to create my site, or should I download some software from the web and create it myself? Keep in mind I don't want anything to fancy and I don't know "Jack" about html. I just would like the ability to update the menu when ever I need to. "Maybe" in the future I would like some functionality for taking orders online - like Papa John's, but for now I just need a simple site for marketing purposes. Money is not an object for me, but I would like to spend it wisely. Which is better: designer or software?

I am an aspiring .NET developer (c#). I know allot of concepts about programming, but I'm having trouble wrapping my head around an interface. I don't mean a user interface. I mean the kind that is "implemented" through code. When I learn about programming concepts, I usually learn via analogies. For instance, when I was learning about classes and objects, I learned that a class was analogous to a car, and a class instance was analogous to a Ford Explorer, and a method would be analogous to a function like 'drive' or 'stop' or 'turn' etc...I'm just having trouble with when and why to implement an interface. When would one need an interface? It seems like I can do everything without ever needing one - so why does it exist? If interfaces didn't exist, how much harder would life be for a programmer? What circumstances would have to be present that only an interface can alleviate? Can someone use an easy analogy to help me understand what the goal of an interface is? Feel free to talk to me like I'm an idiot. And also, is an API (such as the Facebook API) just a big brother version of an interface?

Thanks.

What I mean by this question is, how is the NFL legally structured? Is it a corporation, an LLC, a loose syndicate? And can an outsider like me get in on the action? Can one buy stock? Or is it all just one big private party? What about the owners? Who do they report to -shareholders? Is the NFL one big company or a loose association of many small companies (teams)? You don't have to give me names. I just want to what is the legal structure of any "league"? And feel free to answer up for baseball or basketball also.

Thanks.

I called a ford dealership participating in cash for clunkers, and they told me my car has to have an MPG of 18 miles or less to qualify. According to FuelEconomy.gov (the official site they go by) my 98 ford escort gets 24mpg, and therefore, I automatically don't qualify. Now I'm no mechanic, but I figure since the car is more than 11 years old, the efficiency of the car has decreased and has maybe even lost a few mpg's. Where can I take the car (preferably in the Atlanta area, or a national franchise), so they can test the MPG of that car, so I can go to the dealership armed with a piece of paper that says, "this car is a qualified clunker!"? (Please don't just say "go to a mechanic." I need to know what to ask for and what costs to expect).

I still have a car note on my car, but it's less than 4500. Will they let you use that car to turn in for the 4500 dollars - minus the difference of course? Has anyone done this?

I am an asp.net developer trying to build a shopping cart. I am at the point where I have to build the form that accepts credit cards. What services does my code need to communicate with in order to accept a credit card payment. I know paypal is out there but I need to know all the other options out there? I am looking in the direction of a payment gateway. I just need to know the steps to take; I don't need sample code, but if anyone has any, that would be nice. And how does one integrate SSL with their code?
