    Google are already doing good

    That's the funniest thing i've read in a while...although I'm sure someone here is capable of coming up with a logical explanation for that, that doesnt involve the word typo.

  24. Re:Missing Information on Magnetic Stripe Snooping at Home · · Score: 1

    maybe you should try another bank then. my card, when used at one of my bank's machines automatically chooses the right language for me. At POS machines, the language displayed on the keypad matches my selected language. Also at the store I work at, the language on the printed receipt matches as well.

    Still don't understand why I have to select my language if I want to use another bank's machine though.
