Why would you put them in the car park and not on the roof where they can be angled and unobstructed, with no new engineering challenges.

Sheep can still graze under the panels on farmland. Not that I'm advocating, farming sheep or using green fields for solar panels!

About 80% of this commercial space is parking lots. It's wasted space. Why not use it to produce power?

You didn't get my point obviously. Parking spaces are to park on. When a car is on a parking space, it's blocking the light from tiles under it and also casting a shadow.

Why use additional fertile or constructible terrain to add solar tiles?

Because they won't have cars park on them. They will also be at an optimal angle and cleaner.

The tiles will be mostly installed on parking space near commercial centers..

What would possible block the sun from reaching these solar cells...

I find it actually a great idea, especially with more electrical cars looking for plugs at those locations.

Oh yeah.

Wouldn't it be simpler to dictate that if you own a commercial warehouse over xxxx sqm you must install solar panels, or allow them to be installed.

Give large incentives, better rates, it's not like the nuclear industry don't get a helping hand.

Running a payment gateway and authentication services is like painting a massive target on your back. The security must be impeccable, one mistake would be a monumental score on the part of a cracker.

A VPS introduces many layers of possible weakness, that could be used a entry points for an attack.

PHP just isn't the right tool for the job. I agree with you, that at this point in time it's secure. I trust that other languages, with smaller, simpler code bases will be more secure over time.

Here I am developing a BLE ethylene monitoring device. Arg, your implementation is so simple. My kickstarter is doomed to failure.

Google "silicon film" & "digipod" for a couple of attempts at exactly this.

"Because we helped with the website migration, we also had one of his passwords. As it turns out, he likes to use this password for his email address and other accounts as well.

We ended up with access to multiple private email accounts, one of his registrar accounts (NameCheap), his eBay account, SitePoint account and more."

That's as sketchy as it gets.

Go clean out your support tickets with customers passwords in now.

Zend Engine has been under it's own Zend license for 15 years I reckon. The web would probably look very different without Zend.
