Thanks Microsoft. You want to jump on the version bloat game that Firefox and Chrome have... but keeping the complete version incompatibility that IE is known for.
Is it a real issue or a theoretical issue? I've seen a few fraudulent charges over the years, and the bank has never given me any greif over any of them.
Not really, the average loss from credit card fraud is $500, it costs Australia $2 billion annually. Eventually this costs comes back to you.
Because nobody would commit fraud if credit cards did not exist.
Every time this has happened to me with any card, they call me and ask me if I had made a few recent purchases. If I say no to any of them, they cancel the card and immediately ship me a new one. Max time 10 minutes. I need to type in the card number every time I make a purchase online anyhow. If I have to make a purchase in the couple of days it takes for the new card to arrive... I use a different card.
When your bank account is cleaned out, you are without money for some extended period of time, including the money you were going to use to pay your credit cards.
I use cash or checks for 99% of my purchases. That way I avoid this issue. I'm also an old guy so "Get off my lawn!"
If you use personal checks for everything, are a complete fool. Checks are trivially easy to fake. All they need is your bank account number, helpfully printed in clear text on the front of the check. The bank's routing number is published information. There is absolutely no protection in the personal check system.
Your name does not need to be on the check they create. All they need is an ID from somebody, and that person's name on the check. There is no protection built into the system at all.
If you do have your number stolen by, say, any person that gets to look at your check, then your bank account is empty for a few months until the bank bothers to get around to investigating it.
For the times I just need to have a check, money orders and cashiers checks; my bank provides both for no charge.

African or European Elephants?
Indian.
I just want to know what that is in elephants per football field.

Mod me -1 redundant. Should have hit refresh before positing. Of course someone would come up with that right away.
Destroying your enemies.
I am totally fine with simply hearing the lamentations of their women.
People that name diet fads aren't concerned about the races they offend.
Or the people they give heart disease to.
She should have paid the $1 non-rape fee.
That wasn't me. I log in when I troll.
Also I try to make a point when I troll. Even if I did intentionally take the argument to the limit of reasonableness.
If I steal enough money from you it will be a felony.
Hey, I am totally on board with the bankers getting their asses tossed in jail instead of getting bonuses for wrecking our economy.
"The bank will look after me, the bank's got my back".
Because if the bank doesn't have my back, I take my money elsewhere.
What the fuck. That twitter feed might as well be titled "the stupidest people in the world".
If it's stripe data, that implies the POS readers were compromised, just like Target. Interesting.
Yes, they have been compromised at the factory, which I stated in the Target Breaches, but no ones to believe because I will NOT name my sources.
And you are cross at people for believing your claim with no evidence? You must be religious.
Considering that cashiers can hardly do math anymore even when the POS tells them which bills to provide in change... cards are much faster.
(Not that I blame them, I can hardly do basic math either. That is what the computer is for.)

Tedious? Then you have the wrong credit card.

I am going to steal money from you. Since I am stealing less than the financial crisis, I should not be charged.
Didn't he release all of his information? What more use would be interrogating him?
I see some possibilities here:
1. He did not actually release everything he had.
2. Why would Russia release this information? What do they have to gain from saying this?
Ahh, well thats what I get for not reading TFA.
By random chance you would detect the computer 50% of the time, so that should be the goal.
Still 30% as "passing" seems unreasonably low.
Mad cow disease gives courage. Aha, so that is how it works.
Don't grind the guy up and feed him to any livestock, please.
Thanks!
...or eat him, for that matter.
Seriously, if Bruce Schneier can't be trusted, who can?

There I have just made every post beneath mine actually serious.
