It's long been known that the PCI standards are nowhere near complex or secure enough to be trusted with protecting your data. Heck, they're just getting around to mandating encryption (128 bit, so as not to punish the early adopters of encryption technology). We moved too quickly to offer services without bothering to make sure we had the security in place to protect end users, and the criminal underground moves very quickly to exploit openings.
Are you honestly asking what purpose does technological dominance serve? Do you think any nation would turn down the ability to flip the switch on another country, regardless of the status of relations between the two?
Get this - Corel is still out there. The legal world in the States is absolutely dependent on it. I couldn't believe it either, but they still make productivity software.
So you're perfectly ok with being kicked off the Internet for being accused of theft, regardless of whether or not you actually committed the act? I'm perfectly ok with you being kicked off the Internet for supporting that idea.
Bad: Colbert takes over outer space.
Good: Keifer Sutherland leads a ragtag band of monsters in a tale of self-discovery with plenty of hijinks on the side.
Well, we've Original OZ, updated 80's OZ, maximum security prison rape Oz, and Oz Noir. All we need now is steampunk Oz and Zombie Oz and we'll have all the bases covered.

I think you're overlooking the billion plus people to the south that would gladly reallocate their people to resource ratio at the expense of the Russians.

Copying a physical card is trivial. They already have the number and personal information even.

If /. had an -1 incorrect option I'd have to set my threshold to imaginary numbers to see anyone's comments.

I've already got nervous tics. There's a reason I never played Pokemon. Hey, I wonder if there's a Pokemon tag? Nervous tag? Tic tag?

All that will be left is a box in Madagascar with it's ports closed.
