Actually I lost some sleep for a few days, and I can still vividly remember exactly how it feels to be drug around with a gun to your head. But the point was that banks are insured, and after the robbery they gave me all the cash I had on the table when the 3 guys came in.
In practice the card holder never, ever loses anything.
Time, present value of money, missed opportunities (like the house you were trying to buy that sold while you were working on this) and occasionally real losses like lights and food that were not available when needed.
Is there a category for warning the PHB that it won't work and being told "I don't need excuses! Just get it done!" as that might be the missing 102%...
I am so proud! Finally Linux is the innovator. The "Upgrade" of KDE caused a huge backlash, and was rapidly fixed into something still usable. But Gnome took this to new heights with Gnome 3, and Ubuntu added even more customer dissatisfaction with (dis)Unity! The fact that Microsoft is playing catchup in the game of throwing the core users under the bus to chase iPad and Android fanboys is so satisfying!
Sarcasm aside, at least Microsoft did make it optional this time. One up on Linux there.
The problem is that more safety features lead to riskier behaviour. There were many test done where participants were given a car on a track with and without ABS and times. Universally, the times were shorter when the drivers were told ABS was engaged, weather it was actually working or not. So, that camera will most likely lead to less people turning around and looking.
my wife is disabled, and last time i checked she fitted just fine into an 88 corolla hatchback.
Yes, all disabilities are exactly the same. And public transport is not a viable option everywhere. For example, if you live in the country, where, coincidentally, F-150 are fairly popular.
I suspect the problem isn't lack of cameras but lack of people paying attention while driving (to whit I saw someone reading a book while making a left turn. great).
What? You want to blame people? You hateful, hateful person! No one is actually responsible for their own actions these days. Silly person...
You can scarcely find a non-profit organization that takes donations using anything other than PayPal anymore. Forget about using eBay without it, too.
I have used eBay without it. Just "Ask the seller a question" and get aproval for other payment. All have said yes to me so far. And for one non-profit, as my donation I helped them set up a Google Checkout account. (For the record, Google is evil too, but not next to Paypal) They sent me a thank you a month later as that account had netted a few grand, and the paypal account had remained stable on donations. Seems there was some pent up demand for a not-paypal option.
If you need to use PayPal to receive payments and a bank account - just keep your funds low on that account.
There are several cases of them over-drafting the account and the bank sending the owner to collections. I just choose not to do business with people like that.
1) Click "Ask the seller a question" and say that you do not use Paypal and would they take another form of payment. So far, they have all said yes to me.
2) Try Amazon used stuff and google shopping, as well as the craigslist aggregators.
Contact the charity and offer to help set them up with Amazon Payments and Google checkout. It will probably get them more than your $5 donation would.
I, the OP you responded to, did not even know about this stuff with BlackBerry. So It was not me that got mad. Oh, and my name is not slashdot. That is just a place I hang out.
When it's two consenting adults? If you've ever been separated from a parent or sibling due to adoption, etc. and are reunited; you may very well have strong sexual feelings for each other. It's a fact, and it's well studied. It's a shame it's so taboo to talk about. Even in a supposedly intellectual setting like slashdot.
Good thing we don't have to pay for slashdot with Paypal. They would drop us for that...
Actually, it was the other way around not too long ago. With the first Humble Indie Bundle, there was still some piracy. Unlike the usual execs, the people behind it asked why? The largest response was because they inly took Paypal. Now they take Amazon and Google Checkout as well. Yep... Boycotts work.

And after this, if Linode does not make the users whole, they will leave for someone who will. That is the dream of Librarians.
And real banks and credit systems are never robbed... They should have had insurance to cover this. If not, they are in a very bad way.
wise man, i have been in this exact same boat before.
I think it is a rather large boat...

Next to the port authority, as well as a few other places. I would call that mid town... But I am not a New Yorker, so I may be wrong.
You can park for free in Manhatten. It ain't easy, but I did it. It just takes a while to find street parking.
How about after the blame, start taking licenses away? Getting rid of bad drivers will save a hall of a lot more people than a camera.

How about these guys? https://www.dwolla.com/ I have not used them, but they were mentioned in another thread.

Or half the original Stark Trek episodes? James T Kirk was an alien love machine!
If you have a script that can change all 4 tires with a one line command, I want it!

And Amazon payments, and Google checkout. There are options. Really.
That would imply that someone actually read an e-mail to paypal, and not just the automated system. I don't believe it.

Also wondering how eBay continues to get away with the practice of only accepting payment through PayPal in a near monopoly, but that's another story.
It is how I found Craigslist, and Amazon used, and so on... I do not miss eBay. I liked it, but I will NEVER use Paypal.
