postgresql+1 just because something is popular doesnt make it the right choice
AFAIK mysql/maria still relies on innodb for transactions ! plus all the myriad of mysql type mishandling of null values. its a horror show of popularity.
use a proper database and stop having to work around dysfunctional programming
3dsecure is the protocol, VBV and secure code are what visa and mastercard call their 3dsecure programs
eventually mastercard will require this too
maestro in uk already requires it at RBS and Barclay banks
being someone who has actually had to implement this i can honestly say i see a lot more people just walking away from the transaction as soon as the 3dsecure interstitial is drawn on screen
and that it takes a heck of a lot longer to get your ecomm in place
sure it switches liability to bank and user, insted of merchant but if it makes you loose customers as well its a hard call
ive watch them sabotage many a good language {vrml and x3d} in the past with their red tape and rhetoric
meanwhile the organizations in charge of interfacing with the iso just keep complaining about no money and no support of the community, mostly because the communities move on to more productive interests
their need for process and committee basically squelching and stifling all innovation in the process
im not surprised this has dragged on for soooo long

the problem with most of these 3d communities is they are encapsulated into a corporate environment requiring u to EULA to exist in their realm
it equivalent to camping on private propery

ive never had my laptop scrutinized and ive been pulled into secondary inspection a few times
{ canadian programmer telecommuting in the states == working in the states }
think about who and what they are really looking for , its probably not you or your files
it would be nice if they could do something about unifying the audio subsystem on linux
openal esd pulseaudio etc etc

got to start thinking globally about this stuff
if the US would just get on board this could work
they are the only one blocking this from happening

Virii Research is probably your best bet on finding some AI , becuase virii is the most up to date Artifical Life out there
Ive been using the 4gb asus eeepc 701 since it came out
I bought an 120gb external usb drive and have been running xp off of it with no more or less pains than a normal xp pc
yes the screen size is a pain with some apps that dont size down very well, such as nero
I switch to a virtual mode for those case and get on with it
i dont really mind the small screen size, it makes me focus on work and less on gaming... although quake3 does run very well.thasnkyouverymuch
