No problem! Actually, they have been developing a desktop application that I tried, but I don't use. The application attempts to fill the website forms, so you won't have to even type anything.
I normally just use their web application, even though I have to type most of the information (at least using firefox, it seems to be better integrated with IE as well).
In any case, I just use that whenever I don't completely trust the company I'm buying from. I don't know what other payment companies may have similar applications.
Sincerely, I use mastercard. Citicard has a CitiVAN (Virtual Account Numbers) so you use virtual numbers instead of your real one online and you can determine the amount you want to use. So if security fails at your "not so trusted" website of choice, the only thing they get is a single-use credit card number.
What does Google payments asks from you? As the GP says, I don't have a paypal account and I'm not planning on having one. I have used Google for quite some time (even more now that they release offers.google.com) and I haven't had any troubles. To be honest, from the very beginning, I thought that paypal was somewhat sketchy and never trusted them, and consequently, I just don't trust sites that only take paypal (that's probably just me)
I haven't used paypal or ticketmaster and I haven't had any problems in my life.
Even worse, now they will probably have an application to count "red cars", so they have more time to whine about how long it takes to get to the destination.
The figure comes from an online survey of 3,000 US consumers
No, it means that out of 3,000 people with lots of free time, and probably bored of playing Angry Birds, about a thousand went online to eagerly answer a survey to waste more time.
Furthermore, it's very likely that people answered the survey attracted by a sweepstake that offer them the chance of winning a free iProduct.
The hardest thing could have hit on the fall, was Jobs' walled garden. Luckily, this one is in Cupertino, and fortunately, all Apple devices are protected with a surrounding distorting fields that may also soften the fall.
While it makes me smile too. I just hope this doesn't give an excuse to deflect the problem, and consume more resources tracking the LulzSec group instead of proper investigation of the actual News Corp.
It takes less energy to cool a hot place than to warm a cold place.
I don't think that's the issue here. The need of cooling a hot place is a fact. The issue is, isn't easier (and more efficient) to cool a hot place in a cold environment than one in a cold environment.
And the answer is: if you're in a cold environment, you may only need to suck cold air from outside and pull the hot one out. If you're in a hot environment, you have to cool the air before the displacement take place.
Should you also have a black external water heater on your roof? I remember one town in my home country (tropical, so no seasons) had these large water tanks that were used also as water heaters using refraction, so the actual water heater wouldn't had to do much work.
I'm trying to picture that in a place with seasons.
Most Linux development comes from corporations who could care less about GPL or open source.
Technically, if most of the development comes from corporations. They certainly could care less, because they seem to "care" at least a bit to develop for Linux. Perhaps, It doesn't mean what you want it to mean. But doesn't sound completely incoherent in this context.
I'm crossing my fingers. Hopefully, I'd be able to get 100G first from a martian ISP than the crappy US ISPs. And furthermore, I hope is not going to be capped by the ISP and government regulations or tapped **IA.
It makes a lot of sense. I've seen a trend of people that don't even go to class, and study by themselves, or go to class to waste their time.
I'm from the view, that they are paying a person to teach the class, and necessarily they know the topic and I'd be able to ask them as much as I can. So even though some people think a student should be letting the professor teach the class, and asking students are annoying. I believe that they're not there to read me the book, but to clear my doubts.
So, to my understanding. This is a double edged sword. If they come out to confirm they DO have access, people may run or think they are being observed. If they come out and confirm they DON'T have access, people will think that's likely to be a harbor for criminals to contact each other.
Clearly, both situations are not convenient for either national security or Google.
The evidence could even show the greediness of physicians. The health and drug industry in the USA is a really large mafia, where a dentist can tell you it will fix you a microscopic caries for arbitrarily high costs. Physicians will give you medicine for whatever you don't have, so you keep coming for 'control schedules' and they can keep getting their money (even though normally is a nurse, the one that takes you blood pressure, asks you to open and say "ah", and dismiss you for some bucks).
I said this somewhere else, but I think is worth mention here.
I'm a netflix subscriber, and I sincerely don't care paying more for their services. What I think motivated the rage, was rolling out a price increase as a "feature". Instead of just saying they will be increasing the prices ("The $10 plan will be now $16, BUT you have the option of going only streaming or only DVDs for half the price"), they went "Hey! Great news, we are splitting the plans so everyone is happy! Your plan will no longer exist and you'll have to pay extra! BTW, Everyone must switch over in September".
If there's one thing you don't want to do you your customers is making them look like idiots, and tell them to pay more with ultimatums. That was sort of 3 strikes on their single blog post.
While I don't disagree, and I drove from Oregon to South Texas in 3 days (about 700 miles per day) alone. And from FL to NY in 2 Days. Driving in certain parts of the US is just too boring (Yes, Texas and the Carolinas, I'm talking about you!), and since you can't do anything else besides driving (if you're the driver of course), this thing becomes quite annoying as the time passes.
Clearly, there are beautiful landscapes and nice things to visit. But driving around the US takes time and very good planning for the trip to be very enjoyable and not just a boring drive.
Well you're not supposed to be rewarded or remembered for doing the things you're supposed to do. Even more emphatically when is the law.
When there are many exceptions that it becomes the rule, it means that the people is not following the regulations as they should, they are not properly enforced or ignorance is taking over.
And I agree with you. But someone needs to take the hit, does it need to be a big corporation? If it is, will they take steps to improve the patent system or to make it better "for them"?
Note that Apple is already in a crusade for suing people for their "App Store" trademark, for GUI patents and some more, which, as you said, is also ridiculous.
It's a catch 22, should the legal system rule in favor of the small "troll" company or the large "bully" corporation?
Well, let's face it everyone files where ever they get the most out of it.
Filing copyright under US rules. Filing patent infringement in Texas. Have you ever wondered why many companies have offices in Delaware, where they all curiously file for Chapter 11?
Everyone look for the local rules that will be better to them. How is that news? The actual news is that Apple didn't have a patent for playlists.
Talk to the person using your phone rather than texting.
There are some times that you can't afford to talk and quick messages can be very useful, just as it was push-to-talk some time ago for me. Independently, well, the fact that people try to do it, and worst of all, hiding because it's not legal, make them even more prone to mistakes for keeping their eyes off of the road.
Although I'm all for natural selection....
Yes, what about one of them crash into you and you die? So much for natural selection!

I mean, it's not that they aren't trying to look like the victims instead of the perpetrators

The only thing you need to give, is cavity searches to those not in the program. (Probably Step 3b).
Why would you need to leave travelers happy, when you abuse them even more?
Is this technology what you're referring to?

Particularly, the bottom part of page 42. I guess that was the answer to the ultimate question...
Well we all hope that at least their bubble crashes faster, so they get a bailout and we all move on sooner.

I thought that FF4 was a mistake (it didn't take too long in the market) and they were actually following Fibonacci version numbers.
