Fees on the back end, what company transports the charge, and what authorization is used to authenticate it are all different.
With Credit, the money is not debited immediately. It is authorized immediately and held in pending until it is batched. It is only then that it is taken from the account.
When you use your PIN, it comes out immediately. The processing fees are lower on the back end, but the cost of entry is higher for the merchant and the level of risk to a consumer is greater (reference PIN sniffing routers that have been found).
It is only with the advent of cards that can be processed as both credit and debit (Visa's revenue is made up of mostly Debit processing fees from bank cards now, not credit) that this confusion has arisen.
Proof implies an accusation, evidence implies a hypothesis. It is all in the connotation.

Wouldn't a well-maintained front end be able to see these inconsistencies and say, "did you mean X as in Y or X as in Z?" for any oft-misclassified values? Isn't that what you pay for software as a service for?
It could be they wanted to prevent a distraction like the Kuwaiti Oil Fires, an environmental disaster after the First Gulf War. The oil wells would be key in funding the emerging government, and they were the easiest part of the country to protect in the aftermath.
The insurgency only emerged and become a threat a few weeks after the invasion, on the vulnerable spots the military set up near the cities.
To be fair, Japanese infrastructure was revitalized by a focus on quality and efficiency, not by being built from the ground up. We had the same opinion about Japanese products post-war as we do about Chinese, pre-WWIII
300 mile radius rough outline with reasonable margins for schedule changes and delays with highly integrated transit system:
train = arrive at station, security (+40min), ride 300 mph (+60), hop on subway/bus (+10). Total of 1 hr 50 min
plane = arrive at airport, security, board (+90min), ride 300mph(+45), taxi and deplane (+30) hop on subway/bus (+10). Total of 2hr 55min
When you have a highly integrated public transit system like Japan, you can lower the cost of high speed rail to make traveling cheaper and/or less of a burden. It is a combination of economy of scale and integrated public transit: provide a way to for a lot of get there fast and provide a means of getting around once you get there.
If lugging your car into the city is your only choice (western cities like LA with decentralized urban centers), then you will drive 4 hours to get there. If you have an efficient and safe subway/bus system like NY, Boston, etc, then you can either fly or ride the train. High speed rail will match planes for speed of transit (after security and boarding are taken into account) and provide direct access to the transit system once you land.
Rail needs land, maintenance, and a polite and observant populace to keep the rails clear and the trains tidy.
But what it needs most are big cities with defined urban centers. Decentralized and rural areas are still better handled by bus, but having bus routes and inter-city routes in New England covered by shinkansen would take a burden off the airlines.
It could also allow AmTrack greater flexibility in negotiating transit agreements and rail sharing for its smaller lines to have more people on the rails.
Maybe mourning is proportional to influence. A guy that did my concrete was killed on the job. I sent his family a note and some cash. How is that different than getting dressed up and going to a public funeral? For that matter, who are you to say that this text memorial is any different than "pouring out a 40 for our dead homie"?
Spend your time trolling emo suicide memorial boards for people claiming the deceased was "a great person and didn't deserve this." The adults are talking.
Have you no idea how military operations are conducted? The mortar teams are well-trained and munitions are too expensive: shelling is never indiscriminate. They had a known stronghold that was well developed (spider holes, fortifications against HE and the like take time to build). The US was very clear and notified the populace (through leaflets, as is the usual method) on which areas were being targeted and people evacuated accordingly. These were not civilian areas anymore and were subject to shelling after careful thought and planning to minimize impact on the populace and maximize effectiveness (complementary goals).
While I cannot tell why civilians might not have left, I can say that the US did everything in its power to protect them. Notice that no large-scale humanitarian crisis has materialized and Fallujah has become a model for restoring order in the region. The only complaint I can is a Katrina-style management of the aftermath (which can be said about the whole Operation Iraqi Freedom).
Please be assured that your version of events in Fallujah is wrong and that the operation was carried out well and for the benefit of all involved. Your continuing assertions of impropriety are not productive and only serve to embarrass you.

You most certainly do not, unless you have a way of securely entering your PIN.

So it's Venezuela with a coup? Could this be why he always brings up the CIA?

What's ridiculous? That women's suffrage took so long to enact, or that people aren't taught about that struggle?
Isn't there some sort of automated, mobility-oriented analogy that could apply here instead?

I think the productivity aspect of access to wi-fi/air-card is the biggest hurdle the airlines would have to overcome if this plan was seen through.

It is the integration of the various transit systems that allows this. The US has a very poorly integrated transit system.
