Well that is good because it simply means I am an idiot for bothering to reply to this thread so many times without understanding his original suggestion! Ah well, another few minutes of my life wasted.;-)
In the US Diner's have moved to using the MasterCard network for their cards and hance are not really any different then any other MasterCard.

Are you sure he doesn't mean JCB (a popular credit card in Asia)?
JCB cards are also accepted in Europe (and maybe even the US, I didn't pay attention for the logo when I was last out there) for the benefit of tourists (though no European bank that I know of actually issues them).
He means JCB. A popular credit card in Asia. Whilst they can be used in Europe I don't know any bank that actually issues them here in the UK at least. Here is there US website.
P.S. Dinners Club is a charge card. Not a credit card (google if you don't know the difference).
You have never heard of Diners Club!?
Diners club is a charge card (similar to American Express). In fact it was the first of its kind accepted in a small number of resturants as far back as 1950. Granted it is not the presence it once was but it is still accepted in just about every major hotel and restaurant in the world (in addition to numerous shops, both on and off line). I don't think that it is dodgy that they accept Diners Club cards. (Oh and if I recall correctly Diners are now owned by Citibank, who certainly aren't a small banking group).

Absolute rubbish! You just made this up. I live in the the UK and I don't know anyone who gets 'a warm fuzzy feeling' due to increased taxes.
Since I suspect you pulled this out or your arse perhaps you could link to some scientific study to backup your theory. If not then your theory is no more valid than mine. Mine being that people in the UK do not like tax increases.
Omniweb has site specific preferences. Just disable javascript on the site that provides these (you can leave it enabled for all other sites).
Other browsers need to start adopting site specific preferences, they really are a great feature. For example when the IDN problem was first mentioned I setup my main banking sites to use slightly bigger fonts. If I ever browse a spoofed version it will be immediately obvious since the fonts will be smaller again.
If you want text-only news to replace the individual service (which was text only) then how about $19.00 a year (£9.99) for a Claranet mail & news account? (Clara are a UK ISP who also offer Usenet services. I have used them in the past and they have been pretty good). They also have binary packages.
If you are just looking for Text-only news you can get a Claranet mail & news account for about $19.00 a year (£9.99). They also have binary packages. I have used them in the past and they have been pretty good (now I get news on my Panix shell account).
Spin it this way, that way. It doesn't matter. Firefox is vulnerable, IE isn't. I'm sorry guys but FIREFOX FAILS IT!
I didn't pass a comment on Firefox being superior (although it is). All I'm saying is that we need to either 'fix' the Punycode system (if this is possible) and/or put a visual clue in the browser when Punycode is being used.
Though why I'm taking the time to respond to a troll I don't know. I must be bored!
The first thing I did was fire up IE (a rare occurrence) and test this. IE also failed (for me). Then I remembered that I have the i-Nav plug-in installed. Granted, this isn't actually a fault of IE then but rather the plugin. Though it should be noted that IE is only spared because (in it's default configuration, i.e. without the plugin) it doesn't support standards. In this case that standard is Punycode.
This would actually appear to be a flaw in the Punycode standard rather than the browsers themselves, given that all IDN (internationalized domain name) aware browsers similarly fail.
Looks like someone may have to fix Punycode. Then we can update the browsers. In the mean time perhaps Opera, Firefox, etc. can given some kind of visual notification when Punycode is used, in the same way the URL turns yellow when a secure URL is entered in Firefox.
I think you mean elinks. It has every thing Lynx and Links has plus a lot more. including Frames, tabs, basic javascript, some CSS support, etc. They are even in the process of adding bittorent support right into the browser. Best text-only browser going!
I still remember times when spywares and trojans were hacker-only. Greedy corps brought it to the masses, and now it's become an accepted part of the^H^H^H "Internet experience^H^H^H^H^H^H^Hlorer"

In other countries such as the UK Diner's are still (at least for now) really Diner's Club cards.o ?selectedContent=uk\generic

Check out this screenshot for a better idea of how these work. You mau also want to have a look at the Omniweb feature page.
No mention of SFP or the guys behind it.

A solution for Phishing?
They could put visual notification when IDNs are used. At least until a better solution is found.

No, Microsoft should buy Macrovison and rename the new combined company Microvison. It sums them up nicely I think!
I started to use this myself yesterday. A little expensive but it is great and should provide what the original poster is after.
Surely, you mean elinks!!! ;-)

Just ssh'd to my home machine, ran 'softwareupdate -l' and discovered there was a new iTunes (iTunes4-4.7.1) and remotely updated.
Cool! Didn't know that was possible.
That would be XMPP/Jabber.

Of course this is bound to die soon, unless Google see sense.
I agree with everyone else here the new interface is crap.
In Norway they never translate them, simply add subtitles. Also most Norwegians are familiar enough with English that they don't need the subtitles.
