  1. Re:Do Canadian credit cards for sub $10? on In Canada, a Government-Backed Electronic Currency · · Score: 2

    Afford not to have a Credit Card?
    A credit card is more advantageous as you have more money. I get 1% back on most purchases and 5% back on some. I always pay it off every payday, so twice a month. So I am taking a loan with a negative interest rate. Why would you not borrow money, if the payoff was less than the loan?

    I see by your UID you are new here, but on slashdot it is traditional to not read the article. Advanced users don't even read the summary.

    I am so sure the BitCoin folks have no incentive or ideological basis that might taint their view of a workable solution other than their own.

    Ideally this would be a government function paid for by taxes the same way that minting coins was. Then this could replace the credit card system as it currently stands. While in the USA that would never happen because it would be called "Teh Socialisms", Canada might actually be able to get it done.

    I am not here to keep a store running profitably. Before that law normal agreements forbade that practice. Now, I just will not shop there.

    If you want cash give me a better discount than my card does.

    They have too normally via their contracts. If they object and you can report them.

    If you want cash, you have to give me a discount greater than my card gives me. I am not here to make your store profitable.

    The Berne Convention is a tool to steal from the public, by making copyright so long that measured in human lifetimes it might as well be forever.

    Taxes do not pay for OTA TV. Nor do I watch TV that way.

    I am not ignoring anything. Coal is cleaner than Gasoline. Coal power plants are far more efficient. They have the advantage of not having to be light. Also power in my area is Nuclear and Hydro.

    Production costs are comparable. A Tesla costs as much as an S series.

    You are highly misinformed.

    I do not pay for a service that has advertising.

    I do not care how you want to rationalize it.

    Netflix has more selection than Hulu and costs less than $100/month. Advertisers are not paying Hulu anything like $100/month/user.

    If HBO would offer an rss feed to torrents of Game Of Thrones that they approve of, I would pay far out the ass. I will pay slightly less for HBO go without cable, and nothing at all for HBO on cable.
