I´m a new user in Dreamstime service (http://dreamstime.com). I need to download from there 5 images in the highest quality, so I´m thinking about Subscription variant instead of buying credits (http://www.dreamstime.com/credits).
Does anyone experience with that, if there is any restriction for image quality in Subscription variant? I have found no info about that. It´s cheaper of about 50% in comparing with buying credits.
Thanks for info and sharing your experience.

My client want to use OpenAM OpenIDM and OpenDJ for the product development. Before that client want to know what will be the production sizing for this forgerock.
Our plan is to have the 1 million user and 100K concurrent users are there then how much size it will take to on production. I have gone through the documentation of forgerock but didn’t find much information from it.
Deepak,
I am from ForgeRock and we would be very happy to help. As everyone's situation is different, we would like to discuss your requirements before providing sizing details to make sure we are not over / underestimating. ie. We want to get it right. :-)
There are a couple of options for getting in touch with your nearest tech resources.
Ping your request to this email address info#forgerock.com. If you could include the detail you have in this question, as well as your country and city, it will help the right person pick up your question and get in touch.
Here is a URL to our offices. I suggest calling your closes office for assistance. https://www.forgerock.com/contact/
If you can tell me your country / city, I can put you in touch with your nearest engineer.
Matt.
I have a site with a lot of suppliers and end users. I would like the end users to be able to give tips to suppliers while taking a commission in between.
What's the easiest way to set this up? My plan initially was to code a custom stripe integration into my node.js backend. But there might be an easier way? Maybe someone has written a lot of what's needed already.
Thanks.
Stripe Connect is Stripe's API that lets you process payments on behalf of third-parties, and optionally take a cut out of the transaction.
There's a lot of things to consider depending on your exact use case so I recommend you take some time to browse the documentation. This article is also a good resource.
I am an azure customer and i have had very bad experiences with the support so far. The developer support ($25/month) does not help with server outages because they take 8 hours to respond.. and since everyone is in india or some foreign country, that means all i get is an email, so i respond and wait another 8 hours for a response.. theres really know way to get an issue resolved any faster than 2 days it seems.
So my question, what are your personal opinions/experiences of the azure premiere support ($300-$1000/month) vs developer support? Is premiere support American engineers or still from india? Are the engineers more knowledgabe or are they the same as developer support but faster response time? And opinions would be helpful (i have the link to Microsoft's website, i want real info from people who have used it, not sales talk :) )
#kwill stated:
Every time you open a support incident the first communication you
receive from the support engineer will include their normal working
hours along with instructions on how to get support from another
engineer in a time zone that more closely matches yours.
From personal experience I can tell you this:
While this may very well be true, however, the first communication with the support engineer is the tricky part. The last ticket we created, after almost a week we're still waiting on that first communication with a support engineer which had expected response: 4h ; This is with a Gold support account.
I used all service plans (Developer > Premium), not only Azure but also a few Microsoft products (e.g. SharePoint). First of all, I'm not going to criticize Microsoft service supports but most of the paid tickets I raised give me NOT good experience.
Note that Developer support plan aims to help basic troubleshooting. I'm unsure if you are given an experienced engineer (or you are lucky enough) but the first level is support escalation engineer. I have no idea with this role but per my experience, people with this role have no developer background. They have skills in system, network and IT background enough to kind of understand what you encounter, and may answer general questions. In the loop of email also has a few people to monitor the case.
Standard Plan is quite similar to Developer plan. The difference is the support time (24 x 7) because Microsoft engages people from different shifting time zone. The role is still Support Escalation Engineer.
Professional Direct is quite more professional and has experience with the specific Azure service you encounter. This person may come from Premier Field Engineer (PFE) team who understands the service and also have good troubleshooting skills. You are asked as deep as possible so they can drill down to see the root cause.
Premier Support is more to consulting, architecture and code review. If you encounter system or application error when working with Azure, I don't recommend you to pick this plan. Go with Professional Direct plan is enough. Premier Support also has (but rarely) PFE guys engaged. Role engaged mostly is Consultant and Architect (not Cloud Solutions Architect).
My experience (mostly):
I was shared many long articles (from Microsoft Docs for Azure) which even had obsolete information, missing guidance or unclear points without indicating which I should pay attention to. And you know articles from here https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/ have so many issues (e.g. wrong API version, wrong configuration, invalid class,invalid directive, poor documented SDK sample....)
Developer and Standard Plan would not give much value. Slow response and no consensus (someone handles case then off business hour. Another one takes over and asks what is encountered again). Such a loop resulted waste of time.
Professional Support gives best practices of DOING, or DESIGN, without actually understanding the scenario. Every design has a reason and decision consideration. It's not just giving a documentation then recommend to follow.
Premier Support: it is good but don't really expect something so high. Sometimes your customer asks you to open Premier Support ticket to JUST get confirmation of valid architecture design or coding pattern from Microsoft.
Again, I really love Microsoft and would like to make it better by giving positive feedback.
Kris, the Azure support team is a 24x7 global team with engineers in every region of the world, including the United States. The US based team is the largest team since that is the time of day when the majority of incidents are submitted. All of the support plan options, severities and response times, and email/phone options are available at http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/support/plans/.
Every time you open a support incident the first communication you receive from the support engineer will include their normal working hours along with instructions on how to get support from another engineer in a time zone that more closely matches yours.
If you ever feel that you are not getting extremely high quality support you can always ask to speak to that engineer's manager, at which time a manager and an escalation engineer will review the incident to make sure you are getting everything you need.
I am looking for some kind of online subscription payment system which is kind of like Spreedly and Recurly but it either has a cheap monthly price or they take a % per transaction.
What other options are there available? I don't really want to manage subscriptions myself and I'm looking to use as many web services as I can :-)
All suggestions and discussion welcome...
Recently I found chargify.com - looks interesting and cheap but it works only for businesses located in couple of countries

This question has been asked before (link) but I have slightly different requirements. First, I'm in Canada so that rules out Google Checkout and probably a few others. I just need a basic service that provides "Buy Now" functionality, no shopping carts or anything like that. The site isn't super high volume, so I'd like to avoid any site with crazy monthly fees. I also need the ability to setup "discount codes" (or whatever you want to call them) for special promotions. The site must also have some sort of payment notification service (IPN). I am currently using PayPal, but their lack of discount codes is really starting to restrict what I can do.
What have you used, or what would you recommend I investigate further?
I have used Beanstream in Canada. They provide a hosted service, where you provide a link to a custom Beanstream page in your site; they do all the payment processing and deposit the funds in your bank account. You can edit the checkout page to make it match your site, and create shopping carts or provide charges on a case-by-case basis. I know you said you don't need a shopping cart, but it is only $10/month more.
They also provide a gateway API if you want to accept credit cards yourself, but I find the hosted service far more convenient.
I've had good luck with eMetrix. Also I've heard good things about Plimus too.
Has anyone had any experience with eSellerate?
Plimus looks good, although I've heard some horror stories from the customers point of view related to their phone verification.
On TeamMentor we use Payflow Pro and have had a good experience with it. The SDK is straightforward and easy to use especially if all you need is a quick "buy now" option. They support international processing, although no paypal processing outside of the US.
I saw the usage of Moneris at a client site.
I have used the Payflow Pro and the Paypal Payments Pro. I found them easy to use from an API standpoint, although Payflow's php API worked well, it required a recompile of php and that meant less ease for patching our servers. After the server setup each was equally okay. The biggest drawback to using the Paypal products was the customer support and set up. Setup was a nightmare and the "salesman"/account rep that we dealt with was less than helpful.
Maybe You should add some details about Your requirements:
If sufficient, try bank transfers. They are not known or free in all countries and I do not know about Canada, but it is the best payment system in Europe: You just tell Your bank to transfer the money to the destination account.
Advantages:
Cannot be undone.
The customer has a proof of the payment.
Free of charge (most banks in Europe)
Disadvantage:
Cannot be undone ;)
The customer has to order his/her bank to transfer the money.
It takes up to three days before the money appears in Your account.
Do You need "instant" payment?
International payments?
