    I agree; in some parts of our country people need the muscle car the SUV offers, but they will pay a steep price for owning the vehicle. I am all for the electric car. But there is one nagging question that has bug me. What happens in a flood? Will the car "short" out. Or will it create a current so lethal that rescuers will not be able to save the driver and passengers for fear of being electrocuted. Just a question.

    So comrade, what organization do you belong to; Hamas, Hezbollah or maybe Al Qaeda. First of all get your facts right and stop using the Palestinian play book. You are obviously an America Hater of the first order. I do believe it was the French and English that divided up the Ottoman Empire into the counties of the Middle East of today. The US had very little to say in the decisions. I do believe the lands were divided up before anybody knew there was oil there or I am sure the imperialist United States would have took the land from the âoepoorâ people of the time. As far as Iran goes, Iâ(TM)m sure your Imam Khomeini had nothing to do with the overthrow of the Shah and the establishment of the fascist, theocratic Islamic nation it is today. According to you; âoeWe supplied Israel with capital and military equipment to commit acts of genocide against the Palestinians (mostly because we didn't want Jewish refugees in America) and they allowed us to establish a military base without too much fuss.â Hummm⦠Acts of genocide; who says Israel should be completely destroyed and all Jews killed (genocide). Who lobs rockets into civilian cities in Israel killing women and children? Who sends suicide bombers to kill innocent woman and children on school buses and markets? Who has given up land, moved it own people out of legitimate cities all to accommodate the enemy in the hope for peace. Israel, you imbecile. Please tell me what U.S. Military bases are in Israel today? âoeSo, after a hundred years of oppression and suffering, they strike one blow about a ten thousand times less deadly in the number of dead and about a hundred thousand times less damaging as a matter of culture and economy.â Is this your feeble attempt to justify the attack on the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. If so, go to hell, in my humble opinion we should have âoenukedâ Iraq, Syria, and any other country that attacks us. Here is a clue for you, try attacking us again, and we will rip your balls off and stuff them in your mouth. Ahh and this gives us, the reader, just who you are; âoeAnd then they won after they proved that the INFIDEL doesn't have the moral fortitude to give everyone the right to a lawyer, no matter how heinous their crime. They proved that we have no moral superiority when it comes to torture and human rights.â Hummm I didnâ(TM)t see Daniel Pipes lawyer anywhere when you beheaded him. Donâ(TM)t lecture us about human rights you Islamic dog. And then you quote Norm Chomsky a noted Communist, what gall coming from a fascist like you. Grow up, read and learn the true facts before you post. Maybe you are not interested in the truth, just poorly put together propaganda

    I would like to know what you are doing that you are so concerned about the police looking at your "secret" e-mail out in the open. Is it a secret message from your lover; WOW the cops want to spend million of dollars to find out who you are "doing". Or maybe its a secret e-mail from a terrorist group telling you were to plant the next bomb. Something I think I want them to know, and will pay them to keep you under watch 24hrs, even in your bathroom taking a shit. Now if you don't fall in any of these categories, but might be a father and had your teenage daughter abducted by some pervert you would want the police to use anything in the world to find your daughter including UAV, satellite, dogs, cats whatever it takes to get your daughter back. The point here is the police, homeland security or any other government agency dosen't cares who you are "porkimg" and how you are doing it, just don't do illegal things, you know like, dope dealing, terrorist activities. I like the idea of putting chips in parolees so that they can be monitored via satellite on a 24hr basis something I bet just galls you to no end. Here is a note to you and others like you. Is my opinion YOU have no right to commit criminal acts and the police or any other agency dealing with law enforcement or gathering of intelligence should use every means to prevent,stop or capture any person who does criminal acts, which includes plotting and planning acts of terror.

  13. Re:Misses the point on Who Pays For Credit Card Breaches? · · Score: 0

    Ok folks here is the facts and reasons behind credit card (CC) fraud and why it falls on the merchant. I speak as a fraud investigator of many years. The person who has his or her credit card stolen is a VICTIM of the theft or ROBBERY of the card and other material stolen at the time. Sometimes the CC is stolen from the mail, the thief assumes the name on the credit card. Sometimes the CC is lost and the person doesn't realize it is lost, the finder decides to use the card and assumes the name on the card. Sometimes the card is completely forged and the person has no idea that the card has been duplicated. Sometimes the card is stolen overseas and not reported right away or not at all. Sometimes the owner of the card reports the card stolen when in fact it was not. I have only given you a few scenarios leaving out the more sophisticated schemes for obvious reasons. The point is the CC company has no idea which if any of these things are taking place. The merchant agrees to accept CC for the convenience of their customers and to generate more business; therefore it falls on the merchant to make the call to accept or not. There is the problem of "Who is the victim". The person who had the card stolen is only a victim of a theft. Should the card be fraudulently used, the merchant is the victim of the fraudulent use, not the CC company. The witness of the use is the clerk or merchant, not the CC company. So in the case of CC fraud, its the "seller beware" not buyer beware. In defense of the CC companies, they do employ sophisticated software that tracts unusual purchases and they will attempt to contact the card holder should they become suspicious. When you compare the millions of cards in use with the number of fraudulent use it become minuscule. On the other side of the coin, the credit card companies can put a stop to this. How? Well its simple... almost. They can require a finger print at time of application. FINGERPRINT.... OMG... this is where a lot of Slashdot subscribers and followers are hyperventilating big brother will be tracking me, watching me and what I buy, my porn, or whatever. NO not a fingerprint. But the fact is a fingerprint can be numerically read and that number can be put on the magnetic tape of the card. A PIN number should also be issued by the CC company to the card holder and that PIN has to be entered at the time of purchase. A fingerprint reader at the check out stand could compare the numerical reading of the buyer print and what is on the card no match no sale. Cost? millions, but the fraud would be cut down and the customer would feel safe as well as the merchant. As far as internet sales go .. well thats another story, with a different solution.

    Ah AusIV only if it was so.. but alas it not that. I can give my CC to my son or daughter and tell them they can use it. The merchant may or may not accept it, its his/her choice. If the card is a fraud the merchant eats it. Signature are not required.. read your contract. The signature is only, repeat only to accept the card. The merchant is not a hand writing expert and cannot say the signature on the card is the same or not. An electronic signature is an example, doesn't even come close to my real signature. Read my post to get the real reason and a solution.
