Your "dimes" for me amounted to almost $900 at Kroger last year, and that doesn't include the savings on gas (probably another $100). You should buy stock in the company and then you can capture some of the money you're giving up in stock appreciation and dividends.
They will mail you coupons tailored to what you actually buy. It's worth it to give them my mailing address (public) and my e-mail address (not public but it's a Gmail account so it has good spam filtering). Why wouldn't I monetize my purchasing information? Everybody else is making money off of information.
In the Cincinnati area, the time and location of the checkpoints is publicized in advance. The cops also watch the obvious bypass points for drunks as well. Do you think they're stupid? So what's the problem with the app again?
The 60 Hz power in the U.S. is monitored on a cumulative basis. Over time, it is very accurate. My Dad worked at a power plant in the '40s and said he had two clocks: one running on Western Union and one running on the generated power. If the clocks deviated by more than a second, the generator speed would be adjusted slightly to get the clocks back in sync.
I'm sure the method has been updated, but I'll bet the concept is the same.
If I see you hitting your kid with a belt, I will turn you in to the authorities. Even if you are innocent of child abuse, you don't want to go down that road.
Memory use is dependent on operating system. I would expect Linux to be much more efficient with memory usage than Windows. I have no idea where iOS fits, but I'm guessing somewhere in between. Also, I would expect systems using flash memory instead of disk drives would need less memory because the reduced delay in getting data from the flash memory.
Just as Jurassic Park is a warning not to bring back dinosaurs, Independence Day is a warning not to get rid of all nuclear weapons. What would North America be like today if the American Indians had a few AK47s? When the aliens come, we need to be ready.
You wrote, "Why are you asking that in response to a suggestion to donate to the International Red Cross?" My bad, I saw "Red Cross" and responded too fast. I know nothing about the ICRC and shouldn't have made the comment. Someone has already responded to my earlier posting by saying that the American Red Cross says that excess funds are saved for the next disaster.
We're talking about scams here and the prevalence of scams has made me cynical. I tend to donate to organizations that are local or that I can readily verify are using my money well.
You were on the right track but then went away from your point. Without naming names, it is awfully hard separating the scams from the "legitimate" charities that actually don't spend the money you donate on the crisis but use it for overhead and salaries. Just look at how much some of these main-stream charities spend on advertising (using your dollars, of course). You think all that advertising is free? Nope, they pay for it just so that they can get your name, address, phone and e-mail address. That way, they can hit you up again when the next disaster rolls around.
Do what I do, and I'm doing it today: Keep your money in your wallet and donate blood instead. I have a high platelet count, so I can donate three units of platelets in less than 80 minutes. I know it's going to a good cause and it's something that money can't buy; by law, blood from paid donors can't be used for transfusions.
It's a "man bites dog" story. If the company's running Windows, it's not news. But if it's a company with all Macs, then it's news and it will show up.
ClamXav seems to me to check Mac systems for Windows malware. The ClamXav site I found indicates that they know of no viruses for Macs. The reason for running ClamXav is to keep from passing Windows viruses on to your friends and coworkers.
I'm a lot more worried about wrong information getting out about me than correct information being leaked. Someone falsely claiming that I've had a liver transplant because of alcoholism is going to do me a lot more damage than someone announcing my waist and inseam.
There's also safety in numbers. If 15 million credit card numbers are stolen, what are the chances that mine will be used?

If I wore your tin hat, it would cost me $1,000 a year in discounts from Kroger. But I don't wear the hat, I take the cash.

Until you pull up to the gas pump and get $.30 off for 12 gallons. Your tin hat is costing you money.

Just find out who paid for the study and you will know everything.

One factor is that legal work, editing and tax preparation are all being outsourced these days.

Yeah, if you're waiting until now to be upset with BOA, you haven't been paying attention.
Is this a troll? Is Japan refusing our assistance?

I never got past the first sex scene. I said, "This will never happen to me."
Actually, Goldblum found out that the aliens were running Windows 4200XVI and that it still had some of the security holes that XP had...

I repeat myself: Is there any guarantee that money donated to the American Red Cross will actually be spent on tsunami relief?

Sounds more like a disgruntled employee than a virus.

Thanks for the pdf. I found the comparison helpful; I was surprised that there were some many products catching 98% or more of the malware.

Even a lobbyist is only as good as the corporate cash he/she can bring to the party.
