I always thought that you could accept credit cards on your own website without redirecting to PayPal.
I believe it is called Website Payments Pro.
"Process credit cards directly on your website with Website Payments Pro, our merchant account and gateway in one."
What is exactly more integrated? Has anyone bothered to look at the "How It Works" link on the PayPal website? It doesn't show any redirection to PayPal.
I'm working on a game that will be purely HTML+CSS+JavaScript (PHP backend). It will be similar to Uplink and will include multiplayer. If you are interested in seeing a video just search for "uplink inspired multiplayer" (I don't know how Slashdot views self promotion).
Question: What are the key provisions in the FISA bill?
Benson: The bill explicitly establishes FISA as the exclusive means for authorizing electronic surveillance; requires a court order for the surveillance of any targeted American, whether the person is in the United States or abroad; [and] requires a secret court set up to oversee FISA issues to sign off on provisions for removing the name of any American inadvertently captured in a communication with a foreign target.
[It] prohibits reverse targeting, which is when intelligence officials eavesdrop on a foreigner's communications overseas as a means to spy on someone in the United States, and sets up a procedure for federal judges to determine whether a telecommunications company can be sued for providing the intelligence community access to its networks without a court order.
Question: Under the proposed FISA bill, can Americans be spied on without a court warrant? Are their civil liberties protected?
Benson: Under the new revised law, a warrant is required to spy on an American, including, for the first time, Americans who are abroad.
If the intelligence community should unintentionally intercept a phone call or an e-mail involving an American, the agency involved must get a warrant if the person is of interest or take steps to erase that person's name from any report.
The court will annually review procedures for protecting communications, but it will not oversee individual cases. Opponents claim this represents minimal court oversight and enables the government to spy on innocent Americans' phone calls and e-mails.
The bill states that domestic electronic surveillance is authorized exclusively by the provisions of FISA. This is an effort to prevent the president from secretly authorizing warrantless eavesdropping, which some lawmakers and civil rights groups claim violates the public's Fourth Amendment protection against unreasonable searches.
However, the bill does not address President George Bush's claim that he has Article 2 constitutional authority as the commander-in-chief to order such activity during times of war.

What am I missing? (I was previously outraged this passed)
Sounds like the bill tries to make a SINGLE way for the government to get a wiretap and PREVENT warrantless wiretapping.
