Because the bank still has to cover it if it's stolen. The only thing that makes debit cards more painful is that you can bounce checks not realizing someone has made charges against it.
The new standards are still in place it's just that the bill provides no funding to enforce the standards. It also doesn't preclude these standards from being enforced in the future.
They don't care because the credit card company isn't the one who eats it. The merchant who accepted the fraudulent charge does. This is why the security of cards is complete shit in this country.
Jesus, what fucking drugs are you taking? Monopolies rarely fail. When they do it's because of government intervention. Even Milton Friedman was concerned about monopolies and he absolutely hated government involvement in business but he was for it when it came to monopolies. Also, on what fucking planet did Microsoft fail? Not this one, because they completely dominate the OS market. OSX has vastly more market share than linux and it's a drop in the sand compared to Windows' share. And apparently you weren't paying any fucking attention when the GOVERNMENT intervened to reduce the power of Microsoft's monopoly. The damage was already done and the result has changed little since then.
TL;DR You're completely fucking wrong and have no idea what you're talking about.
There's nothing wrong with DisplayPort per se but the problem is that there are no receivers that support them. So if you want to hook your TV up to a sound system, you're fucked if it's DisplayPort. Which is why, nobody uses it in TVs with the sole exception being small TVs that are also marketed as monitors.
Corporations want power too because it leads to more profits. And, trust me, if a corporation wants to arrange to kick your door in and do bad things, I'm pretty sure they can afford to make that happen.
I believe it's for more than just vending machines. The new computerized soda fountains that have been popping up in various fast food restaurants all report back to the mother ship as well.
Apparently reading comprehension is lacking in Canada just like in the US. The point is that you don't get to play self righteous when your country (and dozens of others) knowingly play ball in these operations.
You do realize that Canada is the one who ratted out Mahar Rar, right? And you are also aware that your government allows the US to route these people through your country?
lol...you have a pretty fucking low bar for fascism. But I'm guessing you're one of those folks who classifies anything stupid that the US does as fascism since that's how you view the country.
As for keeping an old battery around to extend battery power for longer trips, this isn't rarely an issue on modern MBPs because they have crazy battery life.

You could just use the arrow keys to go up and down one line at a time...
Sure buddy...

IIRC, that guy was wearing full body armor. You'd have a dead "one armed ex cop". Not sure why he only has on arm though.
It was during the previews, which some people (apparently) take very seriously.
Please explain why as I can see absolutely no point to it on the desktop.

Congress gave them that power. See PATRIOT Act.

Probably because DisplayPort isn't suitable for televisions. What it really needs is HDMI 2.0, which can support rates much higher than 30 Hz at 4k.
"About the worst thing is that OS X CLI arguments are non-standard and verbose."
Like what? I just haven't found this to be an issue.
That's exactly what I'd expect a moron to say.

I'm well aware of what fascism is. It's the dipshit I was responding to who doesn't.
Sorry but 1984 is much better written imho and goes to the heart of the matter.

Yes, we have it so horrible here. Woe is me.

That would be interesting if it were actually true.
Actually, the price I quoted also applies to non-retina MBPs (even new ones). http://support.apple.com/kb/index?page=servicefaq&geo=United_States&product=Macnotebooks

So pay Apple $129 to replace the battery. People like to make a big deal about this but it's really not.
