Why would you take money from someone that you have literally zero information on if you then handing over a valuable product of your own in exchange?
Cash has value. It will have the same value that you just sold your product for. The person you sold it to doesn't matter, cash is cash, you have it now and it has value - the transaction can't be undone.
Now lets look at cashless anything. That person can file a dispute with their creditor that takes that value from you after the transaction. Now they have your product and you have a headache. Granted with cash you could sell them a junk product and they get stuck with the headache. But back to numbers in an account (cashless) - thats all cashless is - just numbers - and as we are witnessing with bitcoin anything can happen to it, and you can't safeguard against it happening. With cash I can hide it for a bit so someone can't just decided you don't have it anymore.
I can hand someone cash, with cashless I need a third party to get involved (for a fee).
While I don't expect to win an argument as cashless seems to be the way we are going, I see bitcoin as an accelerated disaster that an all numbers cashless society will become, even if it takes a century.

If it's really that easy malware authors are going to love this.
So while other operating systems are trying to wall off indiscriminate software installation, Ubunutu is trying to undo one of the things that makes linux more secure. FACEPALM
I still have my bricked laptop from an attempted Ubuntu 9 to 10 migration. Luckily it was a really old laptop that I didn't really care to fix after that - just needed a floppy with the laptop's bios but couldn't find a working floppy drive or floppy to write on:/
Your affiliate link is way overpriced, looks like it debuted at 200 - those laughable 3rd parties all want 300+. Anyone that buys that is a moron (and I base that on your intended purpose, not the price).
At least in the US, very old analog clocks depended on the 60 Hz line frequency to keep accurate time. For this reason it was very important to always be at the rated Hz. If it dipped I even think the power company would raise it higher for a bit to compensate to correct the time in those devices. Don't know it matters as much anymore since I don't even know if anyone still makes an AC motored clock (I still have one running in the garage - and it is still pinpoint accurate if a bit noisy), if most normal motors run over or under by a bit the small change in RPM usually won't hurt anything.
You missed the important fraud part. Criminal claims to be someone else for purpose of deception. The idiot that didn't verify the request should be slapped with negligence as well, it's their ONE JOB.
If you want to go cross eyed no one will stop you. Just use a real prescription from a doctor, duh. Grow up and take responsibility for yourself.
You have been able to do the same with online eyeglass purchases for years - which is great since the american eye wear market has been overpriced for way too long, like 10x overpriced, which is basically the way it is with most of the health care industry. Just be smart and get a real prescription.
If the building is up to modern code, dipping that string into a tamper resistant outlet is some feat. Hell even the things designed to plug into the damn outlets don't always want to go in.
..because the vendor pushed out an untested update again. Now we are teaching children to accept being dependent on a single point of tech failure. Good old pen and paper is still better, your brain retains the info better too.
My take from your story is that you didn't really need overnight shipping, and you even paid for it without knowing a signature would be required the next day. This makes the irony of your sig even more funny.

You might be interested to follow that net neutrality thing a little more closely. This is actually a very good argument for it.

They're just trying to keep up with everyone else!
As a mostly cash paying customer, this would be funny if it weren't, sadly, true. :(

I wonder how many of those golden bitcoins are actually made on stolen hardware? It would be an interesting statistic.

And bump into the ceiling, space is a lie.
FDIC is supported by the banks themselves, they pay for it's insurance.

That whoosh sound wasn't someone uncorking another wine bottle...
I think this is an american thing.
False, otherwise it would have been reported in oz (ounces). Really the glass just grew to match the ego of a wine snob.

Sorry to see your keyboard spaz out at the most important bit, but that looks fatal.

Gift them the wall, require they pay for ongoing maintenance. That'll teach em.
Students will be cloud provisioned. At least this way when Google's infrastructure shits the bed, the business side of the school can keep going.
At least the business side can keep spending tax payer money eh?
