  2. ApplePay FTW. on Ask Slashdot: How Safe, Really, Is Paying For Things Online? · · Score: 2

    One-shot accounts work for me. I go to a site, hit the Applepay button, my phone asks for my thumbprint, and i'm good to go.

    Gateway made the best keyboards back then.

    Nope. The keyboards that Honeywell-Microswitch made for HP's terminals were the best, no contest.

    That's probably a huge part of the motivation for this bullshit. Distracting the public from the abject incompetence of the Chicago schools administration is a bonus.

  8. Rahm can go fuck himself. on Chicago To Make Future Plans a Graduation Requirement (thehill.com) · · Score: 1

    At a time when the city and state are in dire financial straits, this asshole decides to pull a stunt that's going to waste millions in litigation before the court gets around to telling him that social engineering is not his fucking job.

    If a kid earns a diploma, you fucking give it to him. Their plans after they get it are none of Rahm's goddamned business.

    What Zuck proposes is nothing more or less than LBJ's plan. Get as many people as possible converted into state dependents, and you can count on them voting to expand the state. Bread and Circuses brought down the Romans, too.

  10. Re:Yeah for HFT! on Data Glitch Sets Tech Company Stock Prices At $123.47 (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    This only affected financial reporting websites, not the exchanges themselves. I saw AAPL on google finance twenty bucks lower than I expected, so I checked my brokerage and they had the correct price.
