The idea of slow travel aboard some ship with questionable crews and lax safety enforcement (because it is sailing under some third world flag) is not my idea of an improvement.
I don't really give a shit. If they put it out there, it's for public consumption, and I have no obligation to have ads stuffed down my throat. If they can't make money, tough shit--give the Internet back to the taxpayers who paid for it and take your "premium content" and sell it at a storefront.
. . . get a handle on this if he'd like.ru to still be a part of the Internet in the next few years. Or perhaps when he rolls Russia and the satellite states back to the U.S.S.R. days, he'll take some pages from China's playbook. China seems to get along just fine with most of their address space behind Cisco censorship routers and/or in spam blacklists.
Consumers won't stand for tickets not being bearer instruments. The only reason the airlines got away with solving their ticket resale problem that way is that they were able to invoke the bogey man of terrorism.
I don't know exact numerics, because Fair Issac keeps those close to the vest. But with the utilization you have on your cards, you're looking very good. There's a decent article about the credit scoring system here.
On a manual review, maybe -- but the FICO scoring algorithm rewards maintenance of huge limits with low utilization. A person is better off with a $2,000 debt against a $20,000 credit limit than with $200 in debt against a $500 limit, all other things being equal.
The problem with a distributed solution is that the bad guys have control of multi-thousand machine botnets who will all say $BADAPP is the bee's knees and safe to run.
The NSAKEY has nothing to do with Trusted Computing endorsement keys; it was related to application signing keys wrt CryptoAPI. (Although I do doubt that it was completely FUD, and there's probably someone at MS from that time missing a job and security clearance.)
He's bluffing. Their idiot employee caused the emails to become public, you merely republished information that is widely available and thus no longer trade secrets. If he had any intention of actually trying to prosecute, I wager he'd have kept his stupid mouth shut.
I pity the hospital on the business end of a wrongful death suit when plaintiff's counsel not so subtly implies that the patient died due to cut-rate imported labor. Unless the health care industry bought indemnity from that, too.
My guess is that people assume those holding passports are well-traveled and, by extension wealthy. They are thus more cautious and less likely to screw with you.
The assumption is that anyone shopping there is aware of that policy and plans to abide by it, or else they wouldn't be shopping there.
If they posted the policy, that might be valid reasoning. However, they don't. Whether they "make an effort to hide" the receipt frisker at the door or not, assuming clairvoyance on the part of customers does not translate into a customer refusing this intrusion magically becoming probable cause for shoplifting or validating the shopkeeper's privilege.
Thanks for the insights -- I took a look at some of the Nurenburg testimony with regard to Rommel and it agrees with you. Got to head to class now, hope to run into you here again.
Illegal under the Geneva and Hague conventions, but not German law as given in the commando order. Disobedience on the part of a German soldier would have lead to his summary execution.
In the case of Doenitz, you're absolutely right--Nimitz's testimony saved his German counterpart from the gallows, which was no small feat given that tu quoque had been disallowed as defense.

The last time I personally took the train was in the 80's, but my father had to produce ID to purchase tickets and board "post 9/11".

Doesn't Amtrak go through the same ID checking and security theatre as the airlines now?

Who's going to pay for it?

True, but if you can pay someone in Hindia or Asscrapistan 10c/hour to solve the captchas, they're still ineffective.
That world is already here. Google for "Medical Information Bureau".
California should be using state.ca.us anyway--then they wouldn't have had a problem. .gov is intended for the U.S. federal government.
Nice--took me a minute though!
Troll, indeed--truth hurts, don't it, fanbois. Bring it, I have more karma than Siva.
It's like a service pack, except that Apple charges $129.00 for it. So not everyone upgrades.

Wow, that's not very good money for their souls. They must have been caught in the buyers' market.
And the endorsement keys will be held by Microsoft and the NSA. Amusing thought nonetheless.
