You still are not supplying any references. I disagree that Wikipedia is "useless" for citations. I don't even know what that means, but it's at least an exaggeration if not downright inaccurate. Wikipedia is very useful, contains lots of accurate information, including links to verifiable and credible sources if you are looking for them. You would know that if you weren't already so biased you couldn't bring yourself to read the article I referenced. I'm not a researcher, just an ordinary guy, and Wikipedia works great for me. No source of information is perfect. Hell, even the IPCC screwed the pooch.
Hmm, I didn't think of overdraft fees! Dang. Well, it's a relatively cheap lesson, I'd say. I guess the solution is to have an account at PayPal that does not link in a bank account. Is that workable?
Whether it does or not, "linking" it to your bank account is giving them more trust than necessary IMHO. I built the sandbox out of a sense of precaution. YMMV. Good luck.
I'm shocked at your lack of faith! Wikipedia in this case seems to have it right, perhaps you disagree with the entry?
You can cite any informative thing you want. This isn't a science paper, it's just Slashdot. The purpose of a citation here is just to help others get the picture.
Maybe the context of dentist as threatening abuser is what has you suffer.:-) Whatever serves you, brother!
I was not assuming what you thought. As usual, our resistance is all about us and not the thing we resist. LOL
This is why I use a "Sandbox" bank account with a $5 balance as my PayPal bank account. Then if someone wants to PayPal me cash, they can do so, and I'll receive it, but for eBay and other business, if PayPal gets weird and tries to charge me, good luck, there is only ever $5 in that account. I use ING Direct for this, they allow me to have as many savings accounts as I wish, each with a different number.
I only use credit cards for most online transactions for the reasons you mention: credit card companies tend to take my side in any dispute, and regardless, they don't have my money or any access to it. If someone has your money, you are in the difficult position of trying to get it back, but if someone charges your credit card, they don't have your money, they have the Bank's money.
You cannot taste if you cannot smell.
I have gotten to the point where the dentist is actually pleasant, even when drilling and doing all manner of things in my mouth, because I don't resist it. Kind of a zen thing. If I explained it you would not get it. LOL
I use a separate account at ING Direct. They let you set up as many bank accounts as you want under one umbrella, so you can just use a special account for PayPal with minimum funds in it. I call this my "sandbox" after the idea of sandboxing software in a chroot jail etc. to mitigate its damage potential. No matter what PayPal does, they cannot take more funds than you have in that account, as that is the authorized account. The only thing left they might do I suppose is thrash your credit. I'm not a big seller so I'm unlikely to run into the types of problems others have in this regard. I'm mainly concerned they will abscond with my cash.
It sure now suddenly makes me wonder why PayPal is always so hot to have you pay from your bank account. If you use a credit card, they bug you to no end, and you cannot make using a credit card to pay your default. It's a PITA. Paypal used to be cool, now they suck weenie.
I've always thought it was ironic that this slur was directed at Native Americans, given that it was the U.S. government that repeatedly took advantage of Native Americans early in our history, cheating them out of lots of land, and of course often killing them for it.
Well, then it IS like you did not supply references. Shame on you! Here you go, this would have saved a lot of words: Paypal litigation history on wikipedia
That seems like a big story. Why don't you submit it to the Slashdot editors as a piece in its own right? Have you talked to like Wired Magazine or other place? I would think PayPal would not want that to be known.
Randall Munroe gives the audience only the most brief fragments of information and allows our minds to fill in the blanks.
I think you are giving too much credit to the artist and not enough credit to the never-had-a-woman Slashdot experience. LOL Yes if you're locked in a submarine for 6 months, stick figures start looking sexy.
NO. You can also "reverse the cold-warm solid-liquid" order by changing the pressure. This is ridiculous. The title makes it sound like you can just warm up water and make it freeze. And people are actually arguing that it's amazing. The changed the temperature while simultaneously changing another variable. That's cheating.
Mod parent up, please. In all the noise about global warming, I haven't heard this amazing fact yet. We're in a solar minimum, but we have the warmest year on record. Huh.

Paypal have been canceling accounts randomly and keeping the cash for many years now
Them's fightin' words. Care to back 'em up with some evidence, pardner?
How about earplugs and noseplugs?
It also has to be safe, affordable, and the worst obstacle will be getting it past the bureaucrats who "approve" medical devices.
I think PayPal is run by cowboys.
LOL, and we've come full circle to the point of my original post.
By "cheating" I meant it's cheating if the game you are playing is called "try to freeze water by warming it up." They just didn't do that.
