If you need to rebill credit cards you merchant processing gateway should have a rebill module so they can store the info and send you a report of what what cleared and didn't.
It doesn't matter what the law says...it matters what Visa and MasterCard say in their merchant processing agreement to you or provided to you. If you don't like it go do business with the other Visa and MasterCard.
it is unconstitutional to tell me that I can't use my device that I purchased where I want to.
I think several countries in Europe made it illegal to lock phones like that...it's just not fair and contradicts other laws we passed in far more sensitive industries. Like telecom, AT&T has to collect equipment for phone service. I'm not limited to who I can buy gas from for my car. I'm not limited to my local monopoly for phone service...why can't I use my phone? it's not like it's programmed for a different frequency... or designed for a different network...it's intended to work on all GSM networks...
screw the iphone anyway...I'm switching from verizon for this phone: http://www.sourcinggate.com/cect-touch-screen-mobi le-phone-triband-with-bluetooth-p-1055.html

We have a lot to worry about when we invade countries and send our kids to die in the name of oil under the disguise of WMDs and democracy. Isn't that the propaganda they tried to shove down our throat with Vietnam? We have to stop the evil spread of communism? Isn't China a communistic state? Shouldn't we have invaded there too instead of a tiny country no one heard of before?
We seem to ignore the countries waving WMDs in our face. So no we are not having a Cuban missile crisis but is this really any better? Going guns blazing into country on a suspicion and ignoring the people who are doing missile tests and promoting anti-American sentiment?
According to Al Gore, we may not die in a half a second from nuke landing but rather over decades due to a polluted environment upping cancer rates, causing flooding, and more hurricanes....what's worse?
I agree with most peoples gripes about this legislation. I would like to amend our freedom of speech to only be intolerant of intolerance. Haters hide behind free speech, load mouthed zealot Christians who seem to be haters in sheep's clothing also hide behind it. Not to say all Christians are haters but you try and run my life and make me act perfect when you're incapable of doing so or when you kill in the name of God and bomb abortion clinics you are just as much a terrorist as a guy flying a plane into a building.
People need to actually be parents. Stop using the TV, teachers, and coaches to raise their kids and instill values...do you have any idea how many crazy teachers we have here in Florida. It's estimated that 2% of the 14k teachers in my county have had complaints against their teaching certificate for sexual related allegations. Why aren't we dumping that money that would go into this legislation into... I don't know background checks, or paying more for quality teachers. In this county as long as you have 3 references you're hired, because is going to call them.
on a side note: I would like to see a government auditing agency that would report over spending, insider trading and slackers who are happy doing nothing with their government job. If the government ran like a business instead of a slow behemoth that people abuse (in the form of employment or in how they take advantage of their position in office) maybe we would be a lot happier...things like allowing people from drug companies to be on an FDA board to decide whether that drug should be approved or not is just wrong, or allowing people at the FDA to use their knowledge of drug trials and approvals to buy/sell stock in the company before making announcement...how is that legal...there is actual legislation saying that's not insider trading it's ok for them to do so.
We should be treated like stock holders in this country and not sheep and maybe we wouldn't be doing half of the stuff outside of this country that we are. Like retarded wars that make no sense or shipping our jobs and money over seas. Why aren't we taking care of our own instead of sending more money to Israel then every other country combined? On a separate note it seems like we take care of slackers who have kids for a pay check instead of American's who need it because as a skilled professional they are told to be re-educated because their job got shipped over seas...this isn't the textile or factory problems we had in the 70's when we shipped those jobs over seas...those people got federal funding and re-educated. These are 4 and 8 year grads in highly skilled positions....oh and no federal funding this time for re-education. I'm ok with sending millions to countries for humanitarian efforts but not to places like Israel where they have tanks to kill Palestinians who have rocks and make shift weapons...why are willing to get involved in that but not the genocide in Africa?
I guess not enough people care enough or are not educated enough to do something about it...

You should never be storing credit card info unless you are PCI compliant. see: http://www.pcicomplianceguide.org/

AMEX and Discover also have similar guidelines...
