Another benefit to this advice is consumer protection. With cash, if the merchant fails to deliver then you are probably out the money; however, if the merchant fails to deliver and you use a credit card (to a lesser extent with a debit card) you can initiate a dispute and many times will receive a credit. Plus, many CC's have return protection, for those stores that do not allow you to return items. Those two benefits alone make CC or PayPal a superior form of payment to cash!
Could you imagine having to pass every variable you need and not being able to use session or client side vars? Users can turn them off, but what percentage of internet sites will work if you have cookies turned off?
As a user you have to give up some privacy in order to achive productivity, someone just needs to design a better mechanism than cookies or one that only allows the storage of session information.
This is terrible. I have been looking for a broadband service that would reach my new house. We currently have a cable modem but when we move the only option is ISDN with a metro service. That means just for the phone line I am looking at 100 a month then add on internet service. I was hopeful that ATT fixed wireless would be a solid solution. This is really depressing. Ohhh well looks like I am going to suffer for a long while.
