The CV2 code is known only to the cardholder and the issuing bank.
And anyone who has checked your signature for an old-fashioned in-store purchase.
Banks warn you not to write your PIN on the card (duh), so why print the verification number on it?
Buy the product that is the best performing at the lowest price.
If you are purely a consumer, yes. If you want to ensure the continuation of the competition that lead to the current cheap Core 2 Duo vs. Athlon 64 X2 battle, you need to factor that in to the equation too. Otherwise, we'll be back to the days of paying through the nose for overpriced Pentium x shite.
What bothers me about this issue, though is the following:
Google has filed lawsuits against Giersch in Spain, Portugal and Switzerland.
"Google has announced, at least in writing, to 'fight' my client abroad for as long as it takes before he drops the legal claims lodged in Germany," Eble confirmed.
In other words, the case seems completely in the German fellow's favour, both from a common-sense point of view (G-Mail versus GMail, started using it four years earlier), and from a legal point of view (see the court decision quoted above), yet Google is still fighting the issue.
And? Giersch has proven that his trademark is valid in Germany. Google are within their rights to test it in neighbouring countries to determine whether whatever steps they need to do in Germany (e.g. call in "GoogleMail") also have to be done elsewhere. That in and of itself is not "evil".
Michael Moore in a nutshell. All he does is polarize subjects.
As opposed to other media commentators, like... hmm. Come to think of it, there aren't any balanced commentators - they're all pushing their own barrows.
It will be interesting as well to see what sorts of atmospheric pressure can be contained in the vacuum of space in inflatable structure and their airlock ideas.
The real safety concern is if the giant radiation-affected, bingo-frenzied cockroaches, scorpions and ants return to Earth alive... Go vacuum!
From memory, a funnel-shaped profile is what you would expect from a hydrothermal crater (steam explosion) - no impact required. A quick Google indicates that hydrothermal activity occurred throughout the region in the past, so it's plausible. (The articles claims "[they] were able to exclude some other hypotheses", but doesn't state what those hypotheses were.)

If they wanted a "cooler" fuel cell, they should have used rhinestones baby. Uh-huh.
Also check out Lost Furest (especially Cheetah Kitty's AVs) and Isle of Wyrms.

A spell checker?
I hate to say it, but this is probably an example where running Windows would be a good thing. Feel the burn!
"Software as a Service" died back in 2000... why does MSFT keep insisting on bringing it back up?
Money, obviously.
They won't be happy until you lose a Library Of Congress in one scratch.

It would be missing an ARM.
And you wouldn't want to meet it's mother...board.

... how about "terraforming" Earth, since we're rapidly turning it from a living planet to a sterile one?
