  1. Portuguese, on the other hand... on The Majority of Americans Prefer To Be Greeted With 'Merry Christmas' Over 'Happy Holidays', a Poll Finds · · Score: 1

    prefer to be greeted with:
    Boas festas, caralho!

  2. Fake credit card? on The Teen Malware Career Of Marcus Hutchins (itwire.com) · · Score: 1
    The last paragraph states:

    previous defense fund came from stolen or fake credit card numbers

    How exactly can money be obtained from a phoney card number?

  3. Re:Don't worry... on UK To Require Drone Registration And Safety Exams (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    It's only for the Brits, because they drive on the left.

    No it's not. Similar measures are being proposed to be implemented in Portugal. And I reckon more countries will follow suit, soon.

  6. Re:Some are more equal than others. on Goldman Suspends 4 Senior Tech Specialists After Trading Glitch · · Score: 2

    Oh boy, you're right! Quoting the Wall Street Journal:

    After sifting through each trade, exchanges canceled or adjusted many of the trades.

    Their actions stanched what would have been an even more costly mistake. People familiar with the matter last week estimated that Goldman's losses could have reached hundreds of millions of dollars.

    ...

    At NYSE Amex, the exchange will cancel trades in most cases of obvious error, unless the traders on both sides are market makers, or exchange members who facilitate the trading in a given stock's options to ensure fair and orderly markets. Goldman has a market-making unit, but in this case, NYSE Amex classified the orders as coming from a broker-dealer firm.

    Looks like someone at GS read yesterday's news about the The Greatest Keyboard Shortcut Ever and did a CTRL+Z on the trades.
