I am still unsure why we do not simply use gaseous nitrogen. Sure it might let them off a little TOO easy, but no one is going to argue it's inhumane, and we still get rid of the inmate in question.
I'm surprised I haven't seen anyone mention this, but I think they single-handedly killed the market. Think about it...no one knows all of the CC numbers yet. Not only should no one buy off of those guys, but no one knows who those guys are. So if say 80% of the cards are cancelled there are now 32 million legitimate useless credit card numbers out there.
No one is going to trust anyone. I have a feeling this is going to do the blackhat community quite a blow.
^ what this guy said On a side note that's the only place I'm racist...most white dealers are 19 year olds from the burbs..and they're afraid of ME.
EA actually acts the opposite of most dealers and pimps. Most of them (as long as you pay and don't say stupid shit) are umcomfortably proud of having "the best product, " and even ask for feedback!
They also take corrective action. You better believe if a dude doesn't get anal and tells upgrayyd cinammon is gonna have a black eye.
You think that is bad? Look up Sammy Gravano...admitted to killing quite a few people for the mob..probably killed a lot more...around a year in prison for snitching on gotti.
The PCI council thinks a WAF is sufficient to protect a vulnerable web application. So that's PCI compliance for you...and many companies don't even meet THAT compliance. If they fail at something this obvious/small imagine a system this big and complex..?
"Now I agree that the credit card system is extremely poorly set up, but almost every situation that results in a merchant chargeback can be traced to poor behavior on the merchant's part (not verifying the cardholder's ID, not addressing the customer's complaints, etc)."
I can't speak to brick and mortar...however:
I run an online business (I'm not gonna pimp it here), and we deal with virtual goods. We have a paypal dispute probably once a week if not more. Customers who either legitimately don't want the product (but we offer refunds..so we shut them down for going through that channel), or are just outright stealing from us since the good cannot be taken back. Out of 100s of paypal disputes I can think of maybe 3 that had valid complaints, and voiced them. Most of them are just people who silently purchased, and silently charged back.
We have to deal with a copy request from VISA or Mastercard maybe once a month. In every instance except one there was no legitimate complaint.
"Note that this is not just a race/gender problem. The kids of the working class white guys aren't likely to go for computer programming when they're 17 because Zuckerberg/Gates/etc. all seem a lot like NPR-listening upper-middle-class geeks and they're proud hicks. But nobody measures this shit because in the US nobody really thinks the white working class is distinct from the white upper class."
As someone who comes from decidedly redneck stock (Texan), and who grew up in Texas schools let me say this: A) No one..I mean absolutely no group is more wow'd by tech. B) In my experience no group is as likely to ask "how in the hell did you do that" and actually listen to the answer. C) I've lived in suburbian SoCal (my contender for polar opposite) and they don't care how *any* system works. They "just want it to work" like apple fans.
Just generalizing here obviously.
Also I don't think it's the "working class" as you would put it that have an issue it's the "lower class." I'm sure it's defined elsewhere, but I would say people living $2-3k/yr below the poverty line. Those are the people who don't have computers in their house, or at least not until it's 100% necessary. Those kids (unless they are real savants) aren't going to just randomly pick up general computing. If they don't pick that up specialized education probably won't follow...except as "just a job" in the smarter kids.
"As for school-age treatment of females vs males, from pre-school all the way up, the school discouraged my female classmates from science and engineering, and for those girls set on science and/or engineering, the school cast them as future teachers (or nurses for those interested in medical science), discouraging them from pursuing careers in industry. My girlfriend, who is an engineer, experienced this bias in school, so did our daughter, who is now an engineering student at a highly rated university."
So..since when does a public school give even the tiniest of shits about a student's career? Also I apparently had good middle/high schools, because literally nothing you've said is true of the 3 (highschool) I attended.

"Dude you were eating off of it!"
Sorry I wanted to post that more than spend my mod points.
Did someone else watch "how to kill a human being"?
Being totally KOd makes it hard to watch (from the inmate's perspective.)
Watch "how to kill a human being" from the BBC. It's got a statement from the guy who invented the penabarbital+2 drugs method.
I'd honestly take any of the above over the electric chair. Hanging done properly at least..

Especially if they have a lot of smurfs selling for them.
There is still the initial transaction. It's not hard to anonymize on the internet.

So tempted to mod up the AC just to troll you.

Rabbit starvation isn't a thing if the creature your chasing has fat on it..there is a reason it's "rabbit starvation" and not "meat starvation."
Last time I checked weasels chase rabbits until they are exhausted and deliver bites to the neck. That's just one thing off the top of my head.
Okay why exactly is it not sensible if they enjoy it? If it gives them nutrition, satisfies hunger, and apparently they enjoy it.
Yeah I don't think anyone is going to deny that one.

"But labeling normal behaviour as sexist makes you part of another very real problem." A much much larger problem that is only growing today.
