Not being able to verify signatures a recent change with Visa. I don't know if MasterCard followed suit.
Next time you update your agreements, you'll find out.
The burden is on the bank, since they are the ones who approve or decline cards when a purchase attempt is made. The burden is NOT on the merchant if they followed the agreement and the card issuer gave them the green light on that sale.
The push for RFID chips is much more prevalent in countries other than the US. The main delay in the US is the cost and time required in setting up countless merchants with RFID readers that never seem to work.
Back then, yes. Now, (under 99.9999% of all merchant agreements) merchants are not allowed to verify signatures or ask for ID.
The threshold for requiring a signature keeps going up as well.
The reasoning behind it is not one of convenience, it is to allow more fraud to occur. Smaller cases of fraud are more likely to go unnoticed and uncontested.
The push for RFID chips is not about security, it's about shifting the burden on the user, instead of the banks. Fraud? User must have lost their card and failed to report it in time. They get nothing. When in reality, people will just be cloning your "secure" chip and pin cards, or buying things online, over the phone, or through the mail where you don't even need the 3-digit code in the back most of the time.
We'll have to tune the morans out, but it's a small price to pay for actual freedom.
Sure, let people sue for damages (breaking NDA, taking out a full page ad that looks like an obituary listing with Steve Jobs being listed, etc.) if they can prove actual damages.
Do NOT, EVER, imprison someone for saying something or not saying something (contempt of court, I'm looking at you).
Do NOT, EVER, restrict someone's ability to say anything.
Do you talk in stock symbols to make yourself look smart? Or did you really not realize that using "Apple", "Google", and "MS" would have used only 1 more character than what you did, would have been much more readable, and would have made you look like far less of a tool? (And that completely ignores your effort on the shift or caps lock key.)
Obama and the democrats seem to be on the Peg Bundy economic plan. Just replace the cosmetics with whatever bailout, hand out, loan, stimulus, etc. bullshit they're pushing.
Al: You see, Pookie, since you're the only one buying your cosmetics, you're not making any money.
Peggy: Oh, yes I am. They send me checks.
Al: Ah yes, but you send them much bigger ones. And that's what we call in the world of business "sending your husband rocketing to the poor house!" Why didn't you sell any make-up, Peg?
Peggy: Well, like I told the girls, it's not very good.

Not anymore.
Signature verification is no longer in the hands of the merchant,
Update your agreements people.
A card that isn't signed isn't valid, you're right. But the merchant doesn't get to decide what is valid and what isn't. The card issuer does.
A card with "see ID" is valid only if your name is "see ID". Again, the merchant has no role in verifying your signature.

What?

Free speech is pointless unless it is 100% free.

The law is not what the courts say.
The courts have the power to interpret.
Doesn't make them right.
If the supreme court rules that a tomato is a vegetable (and they did!), it doesn't make it so.
A new RAM format means the price of the old format declines a little, stagnates, then climbs up incessantly.

FYI, "won't never" = "will, on at least one occasion", whereas "never won't" = "will always".
Is that an imperial shit ton, or a metric shit tonne?
