I've had a card stolen three times in the last three years), and someone has tried to withdraw money from an ATM using a strip transaction.These transactions never involve the three number on the back.
The CVC/CVV (the number on the back) is only used in Card Not Present (CNP) transactions.
If you are performing a card transaction, then you also need the PIN. How did they get yours?
Will this break regularly scheduled withdrawals for automated billing?
The purpose of CVC/CVV is an initial check if the card is fraudulent. If it passes the once, you no longer need to recheck for recurring billing.
It's all fun and games until quantum computers break these chains.
Again I'm no expert, but there is no 'cracking' of a chain because you need to also own a majority of the miners that validate the chain in order to alter it.
Either way, it's more robust than Excel so it can only be a step forward.
Since Bitcoin built trust in the tech, people will trust new blockchain tech after bitcoin, even if its not as good. Not saying that's what these banks are doing, but if it is, that's how it works.
I get what you are saying, but most people don't know what Bitcoin is. Even a lot of those that do don't fully understand how it works, so I'm not so sure Bitcoin has any reputation value yet. So far it has attachments to drug dealers and now high finance, the two least trustworthy fields out there.
I could see Russia, but why would China, Iran or any Islamic entity want Trump to win? China would stand to lose big if they can no longer sell to the US,
Because that would never happen. Trump is business man, and China is the biggest partner around. As much as he says a bunch of stuff, he'll be looking to do any deal at any cost as long as he benefits personally somehow.
and if Trump follows through on his extreme vetting moves to stop hostile Muslims from coming into the US, ISIS and AQ have no reason to rejoice either.
The extremist message is that the US is evil and you should join the struggle against it. When Trump actually proves that the US is evil by implementing racist policy, it will hand extremists all over the world the biggest gift they could ever ask for.
If you think you are smarter than average it isn't due to your chess playing prowess, it is due to other factors/advantages in our genetics or more-likely upbringing.
Except as something from the past, Bill has nothing to do with this election, so there is actually no reason to bring him in.
Trump has brought him in numerous times during the campaign and Hillary herself prefers to be Hillary rather than Clinton:
https://www.hillaryclinton.com...
Out of curiosity, why do you say Trump and Hillary? Would it be the same to you to say Donald and Clinton?
'Clinton' could be confused with Bill, and Hillary is known as Hillary, she even uses that name in her campaign, while Trump uses Trump. So Trump and Hillary seems to be the best fit.
Come back when you have any evidence for your claim that the Linux migrations didn't work out well. The millions of dollars that Munich and France and Brazil boast about saving means there's a pretty heft burden of proof.
Er, shouldn't the burden of proof lie with the one doing the "boasting"?
I couldn't say either way, but the scratch and sniff test says that if migrating to Linux was a net gain more people would be doing it.
What is this "truth in advertising" you refer to? The purpose of advertising is to sell things to people that they don't need and likely can't afford, and that can't be done through truth in advertising.
Maybe in the stupid world you live in. Most of the sales information I receive is in the form of Enterprise Solutions, and it has to be accurate or that company gets sued. Just because your experience is from the gutter, don't assume that is the same for all of us.
I find it hard to see how this would ever gain traction. Why would any organisation invest in a trust mechanism that has been butchered to make it less trustworthy? Especially when more trustworthy version are already in being used.
Ok I'm not an expert but from what I understand Blockchain is a robust accounting mechanism. Currently Banks use spreadsheets and text files and allsorts of other caveman technology to keep and compare records. Blockchain is better at this so why wouldn't you use it?
Just scroll down slightly to get to the next article talking about another business application which is "like a business version of facebook".
Yes but all of those are trying to do the newsfeed/broadcast aspect of social media (eg Yammer) and failing miserably. FB is not IM (even if it has a messenger app), and IM is not social media. Related but different.
The top of the Fortune 500 companies happily partner with the likes of Microsoft for things like OneDrive for business with no mention of the Windows 10 data harvesting.
My background is Finance and Gov and I assure the security/privacy rules here are strict. Sure maybe not for everyone but this model does exist.
If you think FB's data security policies are the same for their business product as for Facebook itself you're delusional.
Doesn't matter, their name is worthless in these circles. Reputation also counts, and FB is like McDonalds trying to get into the Michelin Guide.
I won't. Facebook may be a late entry but most of the other entries into the solution generally compare themselves to Facebook.
Wait, what? I've never heard of any IM/chat app comparing themselves to FB.
Facebook is blocked because it's your 100% non-work related friends using it.
No, FB is blocked because we have a data security policy which FB fails miserably. No bank or government department is going to allow this, and the same goes for most large orgs that have similar policies
Facebook has a relatively poor reputation in the workplace anyway, though. People consider it a time-waster and a site needing to be blocked in some instances.
Time wasting is the least concern. Data privacy and security is the big one, and FB have a history of being extremely dodgy in this regard.
FB also has a reputation of being a stupid app for teenagers and Kardashian type fans, why would any corporation who wants to be taken seriously want to associate with this universe?
I have to admit I don't get it. I have slack because all my devs use it, but it just seems like another IM/chat app just like the millions of IM/chat apps that came before it. Why is this so special?
Certain portions of our world community claim special status based upon historical events.
You know you know you if you ignore them they cease to exist?
There are millions of special interest groups that all have their own take on the world, and they survive on attention. GroupXYZ can declare anything they like as evil but if we all ignore them they will eventually go away.
I wrote a lengthy response to your nonsense but I threw it all away because I found a video that summed up my argument nicely:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
Uh did you even watch that? The video comes to the same conclusion, and I quote "maybe it's not the guns, maybe it's the people holding the guns". Did you listen to your guy say that? And how do you 'control' which people should have a 'gun' and which shouldn't? Gun control maybe? Do you see how it works now?
Ok if we're not even speaking the same language no point continuing. Is English your first language?
I said fewer guns would mean fewer shootings, that is obvious.
That wasn't so hard was it...
I also said, and this is important, that fewer guns means more crime and murder.
Yet I posted a link to research that shows this is not true, and you clearly choose not to accept this.
I did a study on this for a statistics class.
Cool story. Citation or shut up.
There was a book written on this correlation between guns and crime which is widely regarded for its scientific rigor.
Crap. John Lott is a gun lobbyist with good credentials but poor methods. His book is commonly used by gun nuts but already extensively debunked: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... http://www.armedwithreason.com...
I think this is bad because you cherry pick the nations by limiting yourself to comparing the USA to "developed" nations. Mexico is a developed nation
Really? Really? This is scraping at the bottom of the barrel. I compare the US to developed nation because the US is supposed to be a developed nation. The richest country on the planet with a crime record similar to that of a war-zone and you think this is ok because Mexico is equally terrible?
People like the VPC overlook Mexico and claim it is not "developed", why is that? The answer is simple...
It's simple because it not a developed country (seems obvious, but here we are). And don't take my word for it: http://hdr.undp.org/en/countri...
Ranked 74th. The OECD which is generally considered the bulk of "the developed world" is the top 35 nations. So Mexico is not even close. Everyone with a brain knows this except gun nuts that like to trot out Mexico because their numbers make the America's look not so shocking.
I have no problem with this. Culture is important, and if we were to globally distribute every race on earth I'd be a minority in my own country.
Culture has value, we need to ensure we retain some of it.

We tend to leave the fan boi "brand loyalty" crap to face painters and other superstitious folk.

Their software works fine for me. Maybe the problem is you.
That's customer service right there. And Linux people wonder why their desktop market share can't break out of the bottom 1%...
