  1. Password reset may not be a great idea on Zappos Hacked: Internal Systems Breached · · Score: 1

    So, they reset your passwords, if you use a few different passwords across sites and don't remember which is which, you can't try any of these to tell which one you did use at the site.

    This seems less secure to me. Resetting the password means you can't tell what password you used there.

    I didn't say all apple users were sheeple now, did I? I'd argue that most everyone in line at the store on release day are in fact nothing more than sheep.

    It conveys the sentiment. Unthinking masses of people who only want to be trendy and follow the herd. Sheeple.

    do the sheeple in line at the apple store on release day of the next igadget even give a crap, as long as they can be cool by association and get the new shiny object on release day?

    Why not leave the headphones at the office? Pull out the earbuds for your commute or whatever?

    A good pair of headphones will not leak enough sound to be heard above the din of the air circulation system, pc fans and other assorted noises in an office environment.

    streaming music does not imply not working. It's often easier to concentrate on work when you have music to drown out the hum of annoying coworkers around you in the cube farm

    No argument here. If you are a legit buyer though you should just get a refund.

  12. Re:Ah, America! on Verizon Adds $2 Charge For Paying Your Bill Online · · Score: 1

    so if the company misplaces the decimal and bills you 10 times more than they should be, they can withdraw ten times more than they should unless you block it?

    In the USA, you give a company your account information and they can take whatever they want, whenever they want. No way to block it, at all.
    You have to change your account number if you want to block payments.

    Good luck covering all your bounced payment fees from other bills trying to be paid when verizon accidentally withdraws 1000 instead of 100 for a cell phone bill.

  14. Re:Ah, America! on Verizon Adds $2 Charge For Paying Your Bill Online · · Score: 1

    really? that's relevant how? So, Verizon Wireless operates in Europe and allows people to pay their bills online and are charging an extra $2?

  15. Re:Ah, America! on Verizon Adds $2 Charge For Paying Your Bill Online · · Score: 1

    1) who cares if it doesn't work like that in Europa, as far as I am aware, Verizon Wireless does NOT operate in Europe
    2) It doesn't work like that in the USA, where Verizon Wireless does operate.

    So, applying European standards to USA bill payment and calling people who use credit cards to protect themselves from the cheating corporations is stupid.

    Giving every company access to your bank account is stupid. With a credit card I can call the card and dispute a charge and have that money back while the card company and the billing company duke it out. If VZW or anyone else takes money directly from my bank account I have to fight with the bank and VZW until they refund my money, if ever.

    Sorry, yes, according to the linked article, paying by ACH or direct debit waives the fee

    Is it cheaper for them to accept a payment via mail or at the store? really? Ridiculous. This sounds like just a way to stop people using credit cards to pay, since direct debiting your checking account waives the fee.
