Not nessesarily... if your ISP signs a certificate FOR the site (or wildcard like *) using a trusted CA certificate... then you get no error. Heck, if I were an evil ISP, I'd include my trusted CA certificate on the "install" cd and use it for all my internal systems just to make people install it. Only way you'd know is if you tracked the sites official signing details or verified against a trusted third part through means of communications you can still trust.
I find your observations correct as well... except the threshold seems not to be the money, but if the hotel has rewards points, corporate accounts or both. The fact they are higher priced just seems to milk on that.
My media and art teachers would taught me that all media is a construction... every little detail you read or see is often chosen... therefore it is important to approach everything with an open mind. In your case, based on what you have learned in the media (be it conventional or alternative), you belive GM food allows more pesticide... but pesticide is mis-used intentionally in the talk of GM food because pesticide implies living things like use dieing, not living things like crab-grass. Never mind the differences between us and plants. Now there is a vocal bunch repeating mis-information and this mis-information propogates into other debates and discussion often being left uncorrected. Like in this case. Try considering what are the buzz words/constructions/and alternate viewpoints when you see or read an article. I am not saying you should wear the tinfoil hat but most 1 to many media productions contain a message that was not written simply for your well being.
My question is will imidacloprid end up in beet or cane sugar? How is imidacloprid removed in sugar refining and not cane sugar refining? Do growers of sugar cane or beets not use imidacloprid on their soil??
Actually, the problem is pesticide in the corn syrup affecting bees. Don't get me wrong... there may be other things the pesticide in the corn syrup has affected... but until now, that has not been a problem. The other issues mentioned; Autism, acid reflux, fibromyalgia etc. etc. etc. may have many and multiple causes... and by looking at the population graphs, it appears we are simply not yet effective at accidently killing ourselves.
My 6 year old has been using a laptop and Facebook for almost two years. She uses it to create paintings, write to/videocall family and occasionally play farm town.
She seems to have ADHD... but no worse then I do/did.
Let the banks/merchants decide that... it will be when un-recoverable fraud becomes more expensive then the convienience of the credit card. Personally, I always assume already that my credit card has been compromised and check my statements. At the end of the day, a credit card is credit and therefore is not my money. That is why I do not believe in prepaid cards and keep a card with a high credit limit... they are more likely to fight for their money if I am not going to pay for fraud at the hands of a merchant/third party.
Right now, if stuff happens, a customer can go to the issuer/court and say "I didn't make that transaction" and the issuer/jury/judge would be more inclined to believe him. With fancy "foolproof" tech, when stuff happens and a hacker gets or guesses passwords or manages to pwn the system via other means, the customer might find it harder to convince the court that he didn't make their transaction - because the "expert witness" says it's "100% secure".
This still remains to be seen. Such FUD stops progress. It is known that cryptography does not make anything 100% secure... it simply makes it some x^y more obscure then most known technology allows. The average person can find many more expert witnesses to attest that no encryption is 100% and no system is fool proof. Take for example chip and pin... any idiot knowns a camera/modified touch pad/thermal imager/key logger/screen logger/scanner for electromagnetic interference can render the methods for a single PIN useless. Smart cards/ibuttons/etc are vunerable to vunerablities found using electron microscopes. Fraud will always be there, it usually takes the path of least resistance for biggest payout... I think we have given up trying to stop fraud and moved to instead limit fraud and throw fraudsters in jail.
It could also be that you recently used your card at a merchant where other people have reported fraud... so then when your card was used in a location you do not frequent, alarm bells ring. Also if you use your card in two locations faster then you can physically travel, that might set off alarms.
Another time, I booked a hotel online... when I arrived at the hotel they claimed not to be able to find my booking... I guess they opened a new booking and charged a 1 week stay on the old booking as a no show. I managed to eventually get the hotel to revert their charges (that was such a pain in the ass) but then there was a substantial margin created by the buy and sell difference in the currancies... I was in contact with TD the entire time and they ate the difference... the biggest inconvienience here is that there is no toll free/collect way to call TD from the UAE.
I went home to Canada from Dubai for a week in the summer. While I was there, I spent a day in Toronto and used my credit card a couple of times. 2 months later, after returning to Dubai, I started getting transactions on my card for Taxis, Fast food and LOTS and LOTS of gas. In two days, they managed to rack up ~5k, mostly in gas. I called TD and they took care of it. I was asked to sign an afidavit but they determined it was not nessesary. All the transactions are reverted and my credit score does not appear to be affected per equifax. I still see that credit card's bill in the online billing and they have reverted it down to ~$2500. The biggest inconvienience was getting the new physical card and they accidently later DEBITED my new credit card for the fraudulent amount instead of CREDITING it (oops human error). Over all, the convienience of the card has still VASTLY outweighed the inconvienience.
I price compare online and on canadacomputers.com, check their stock then drive to their store and pick up the merchandise. Usually I end up picking other things up while I am there. Retail can still work...
Doesn't that mean inflation is good for the 99% if the government is providing good value in the services the population use? And bad for the people sitting on large amounts of real currency. If you are holding onto money, you need to invest it which means it will change hands...
Actually, you make a good point. POTS and VoIP would require almost the same bit rate if the same codecs are used. You could make POTS as cheap if it was oversubscribed as much and used a codec that could not support fax/56k. It could also be cheaper if it didn't have to work during a power outage. Customers would rather pay several orders of magnitude less for a completely different service cutting out the service which the network was built and priced around. Have you priced out running a new fiber optic cable between two cities to run your VoIP service on?
I think he means IPTV VoD where the subscriber can stop and "rewind" where the buffer is streamed.
That said, in a large network with a large number of set top boxes which can recieve and store a buffer, such a VoD stream could be broken into multicasted chunks to be re-assembled by the set top box... sort of like how Rembo and other certain other IT desktop/PC image distribution systems work.
That all said, Comcast should be allowed to provide their IPTV service without the cap... they can use technology like Multicast and plan and control their own service. If they have too many VoD sessions, they can limit the available content or do other things which will make the service still work. Utilizing multicast, the impact of IPTV is much less on their edge network.
Well if you had spent any real time with the Arabs of UAE and Oman, you know the word infidel does not often come up here with the UAE or Omani population and most all are quite happy and welcoming to us westerners despite our differences in religion and culture. The UAE and Oman are part of the Middle East and the UAE if full of Kuwaitis, Saudis, Jordanians, Moroccans, Iranians etc. If you were well actually well traveled and spent some time with the locals, you probably wouldn't come across as such a bigot and spread such stereotypes. The lack of sense you speak about is not, oil money, but your own lack of understanding of that which you don't understand.
I understand the concept... but when you are at such a large (4 lanes plus 2 turning) intersection turning left during an advanced green from red, it seem quite un-natural to leave it in first. I could understand if I was driving an old vehicle without a synchromesh transmission or semi... but seriously
The better way is of course to pre-screen passengers and just not let anyone with shady connections or beliefs anywhere near the airport.
Do you have any friends who are racial minorities? Do you have any muslim friends or are you of a religious affiliation that is not the dominant in every part of the world you plann to visit? Do you have any friends who have said they think they pay too much in the way of Taxes or have proper representation by their government? I know I do... but that doesn't mean I would endanger my life or the lives of other passengers during my travels.
Add to that the risk of getting to the airport has always been greater then the chances of being involved in a terrorist or hijacking plot even before Sept 11.
Add to that trains and cruise ships don't have the security theatre and are also still safer then driving.

But since the little kid's parents have on average over $10k in debt, and the little kid has less then a pittance to that amount... does it matter?
