What pisses me off is that if I screw up and lose a credit card number into the wild, I get fined 100K. If they lose 40 million cards, what are they gonna do, fine themselves?
It's a good question but does not apply in this case. CardSystems is a third party processor they are not a credit card company. They are separate from MasterCard / Visa and even the banks issuing the cards.
Of course a knowledgable user can tell if they have been infected with a virus or spyware!
What irritates me these days is that no one makes the effort to tell how to get rid of the things anymore. (This seems especially true with spyware.) They just say, "Run an Anti-Spyware program." or "Run an Anti-Virus scan.".
I hear that Best Buy is trying commissions at some stores. As I know you know, this is a new thing for Best Buy, which until recently prided itself on not paying their sales staff based on commission.
Almost all bar code scanners can already read the EAN bar codes. They may need to be reprogrammed to return them to the POS hardware. There could be a limitation on the price book side where items are not allowed to have this many digits but the standards bodies have been warning retailers to get ready for this for at least two years now. I don't expect this to be much of a problem on the hardware or the software side.

Note to self - Next year, be serious.
No, it's not against the law to practice, it's a big no-no to have a license to practice - apparently.

Now maybe the dweebs will stop calling the CLI "DOS".

Political media my eye! Doesn't ABC compete Fox? All this righteous rigamorole when, in fact, all any of them are doing is slamming the competition.
Evidently not. The press release was issued last March.

Hey it was probably formatted for single column newsprint when Mirrordot got it...
Take a coffee break and wait for it to come back.
