Just tell them you didn't want to have to file with the IRS every year even though they have no jurisdiction over your earnings. That's the main reason I'm putting off becoming a citizen (should I ever change my mind about returning to the UK).
They take pin if you're using the debit card portion. Not all credit cards have that though I understand. When you travel internationally, things get a little complex sometimes.
Why would you assume he's American when he's talking about cards from outside the US? (Looks like he isn't if the other post above is from him).
Note that this zip code requirement has only been brought in in the last 5-7 years. Largely, I think, due to the high rise in gas prices. When you could fill a tank for 20-30 dollars, not an issue. Now even my relatively small car takes 60-70 to fill up on occasion.
I have a custom browser header that looks like this:
EPLA: By accepting this request and providing content in response to it, you hereby agree to allow me to use , store and modify it in any way I please.
Why should they? I guess because their customers are sending links in a private communication without the expectation of it being mined and executed. If you don't think that's a reasonable expectation, I guess that's the end of it.
The HTTP/1.1 RFC stipulates "The HEAD method is identical to GET except that the server MUST NOT return a message-body in the response."
Try it. During a HEAD request code is run unless you explicitly check for the method.

Yes, that's correct. That still doesn't make it OK to access URLs that are being passed around in private communications.
And good call on ignoring the username/password thing in a completely contrived example. It could just have easily been a hash or some other url based tracking mechanism. Though, of course, the URL spec does actually specify allowing username and password right there in the scheme-specfic-part in the RFC. http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1738.txt
Good question. It seems that one would maintain a list of spammy URLs and you might carve out a special case for URL shorteners. They are typically well-known sites.
There's an old medical phrase, "First, do no harm". I try and apply it with what I do in IT.
*sigh* it's the principle of the thing, not the specific implementation. Guess what, I made the whole "Aviation Co" thing up. Joe doesn't even exist. Shock, horror, there *is no* turbine.
It's simply an example to illustrate the point that links sent in private emails should remain unmolested. You can't assume that accessing them is safe. And yes, people should not be sending unsafe links through IM but let me re-iterate, as a service provider, You can't assume that accessing them is safe
It's one thing to run links through spam filters, it's quite another to access those links directly.
"Hey Joe, we'll be running up the new turbine tomorrow. It's a new system so we've put in a kill switch. Access http://system.aviationco.com/automation/stop?user=joe&pass=uhoh" But don't use it unless, you have to, it drops a rod in the turbine and that's 50,000 bucks a pop".
Not necessarily. It has been stable against the pound for a couple of months now (and the UK economy has similar issues to the US). Bear in mind it's not impossible for other currencies to be even more borked.
Whilst it is apparent that this farmer was deliberately circumventing the patent in this case, if one were to wish to produce a roundup-ready crop "naturally", this would be exactly the way it would be done. Unfortunately, because of Monsanto, it would be a lot harder to do than without as now you have to compensate for the possibility of contamination.

UK postal codes include letters and numbers.

I'll remember that next time I try and buy batteries for my L7089.
It is the fastest growing overused joke right now.

By your logic, I win.

Mined simply meaning extracted. It is executed in the sense that the get request (or rather a head request) is executed.
Why should they? I guess because their customers are sending links in a private communication without the expectation of it being mined and executed. If you don't think that's a reasonable expectation, I guess that's the end of it.
No, it actually is the point.
I have it on good authority that the owner of localhost is reading your emails.
Hah. While that's the truth, I don't think Microsoft should take it upon themselves to be the givers.

I happily agree that web pages should not perform actions based on GET requests. Two wrongs don't make a right.
OK, let's move the credentials up into the scheme-specific-part as specified in the RFC
http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1738.txt
Or instead of username/password, we can make it some kind of hash.
Yes, that's correct. That still doesn't make it OK to access URLs that are being passed around in private communications.

True. Collapse is too strong a word at this point, I agree.
It's not looking good though.

Yeah. But unfortunately, Microsoft typically don't have a working product at launch.

Ah, so the low value paper you stuff the sock with is to help your investment keep its shape. I like your plan.
