    I do all of that - through a browser. In the era of cloud OSes are becoming irrelevant.

  5. Re:GR Security now judged illegal? on 'Open Source Security' Loses in Court, Must Pay $259,900 To Bruce Perens (theregister.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    No. A court just ruled that Perens did not defamate GR Security by claiming that their patchset may violate the GPL. Full stop. This was not a copyright case.

  6. Somehow, I doubt that a company with over 100k employees that cannot find it in itself to provide coffee on the workplace is willing to pay $100K/yr over average compensation.

  7. Dude, seriously, jump ship.

    Well another giveaway would have been the fact that is physically impossible to drive an electrical scooter in Venice, Italy. Unless the story was titled "Bird, meet fish".

    Why did you spoil the fun? It was so amusing seeing complete morons complaining about Italians driving.

    Or maybe you're just a moron and have no idea on how Venice, Italy looks like, seeing how you assume it's even possible to drive an electric scooter in that ungodly maze of bridges, staircases, tiny alleys and channels. But go ahead please, keep making a fool out of yourself.

  13. 120 would be obviously insane, but here in Italy I get 26.

    Same here, I live in Italy, both debit and credit cards issued by my bank are contactless and the no-PIN limit is 25€.

    A housemate can forge a signature, but if you're careful enough he won't know your PIN.

    Most card readers in Europe still have the magnetic reader for legacy reasons, but some newer implementations (i.e. self-checkout stalls in supermarkets) are dropping it. Actually, most cards in Europe now are contactless.

    Fraud declined, mugging did not change a bit.
    Actually, why go through the hassle of having to spy on someone's PIN when you can simply forge a signature?
