I ordered two coupons, one for my receiver set and one for my VCR.
Can anyone explain how the VCR's box is gonna know "record channel 10 at 8pm, and channel 12 at 10pm, and channel 15 at 2am" ??? Am I going to have to program the second decoder with parallel multiple programs to the VCR? Or will these boxes have time-programs?
Or does this kill multiple timed recording completely?
Headline is correct as-is. "...copying...is verboten" is correct. The prepositional phrase "of DVDs (and) CDs" does not change the singular subject ("copying") into a plural; the verb ("is") must match its subject ("copying").
There never has been any requirement for a U.S. citizen to possess any form of identification whatsoever. Much less carry one at all times. Much less produce one upon demand.
Please supply us with the Florida law requiring U.S. Citizens to even possess, much less carry, much less produce upon demand, any form of identification whatsoever.
Page 28 directs the sales clerk, "The final step in the card acceptance process is to ensure the customer signs the sales receipt and to compare that signature with the signature on the back of the card..."
On page 29, note "Although Visa rules do not preclude merchants from asking for cardholder ID, merchants cannot make an ID a condition of acceptance. Therefore, merchants cannot refuse to complete a purchase transaction because a cardholder refuses to provide ID. Visa believes merchants should not ask for ID as part of their regular card acceptance procedures..."
(emphasis mine)
There is no requirement to possess, much less carry, much less produce on demand, any identification other than your signature.
It may not be a law, but it is part of the merchant's agreement with Visa or MasterCard. The merchant's bank can fine them, or pull their ability to take credit cards, if they refuse to accept your card. You should never have to show photo identification, and you should call your bank at the number on your card and report any merchant that won't accept your card.
Unless you desire the advance of "Your Papers Please" into our formerly free society.
At least in the USA, merchants are prohibited from requiring photo identification from credit card customers. Your signature is your identity.
Why would I show *anyone* my driver's license (other than a police officer who pulls me over whilst I am driving)? That has my full name, date of birth, HOME ADDRESS, and could indeed be used to *steal* my identity. Your driver's license is for driving an automobile only.
It would have been useful for the reviewer to briefly outline what Fark is and what its context is. I have been net-enabled since 1994 and never heard of Fark, but in reading some of it briely, I did laugh a fair amount.
In the USA, it is still a violation of a merchant's agreement with Mastercard to require identification. This form on the Mastercard site lets you file a complaint if a merchant insists on identification:
"If you don't leave now I will have you escorted out of my store for trespassing."
"Please - Go right ahead and telephone the police. I'm sure MasterCard and Visa will be thrilled to hear of your abusive actions against a customer requesting you fulfill your agreements with them."

Jerry Springer? Perhaps you meant "incite-ful."
People paint for free.
But usually, only things you didn't want painted.
There won't be riots in the street. Folks will just stop watching television.
If the broadcasters don't want to send me their channels, I won't watch anymore.
Same deal as -- If Microsoft doesn't want to sell XP anymore, I'll recommend Linux or Macs.
Their problem, not mine.
Why couldn't it be
3/14 1:59:26.535...
PCI? You can't mean like video card slots? Something to do with credit cards, I guess? Explain...?
Sounded like an interesting story but the guy must not know any English besides profanities, so I've had to skip the whole thing.
What a shame.
I thought he would be a programmer, not a sailor.

What happens when one of those cars gets a tire blowout? BAM! Five dead and three hundred injured...
Sounds like "The Dead Past" by Isaac Asimov. Recommended.

That is how the Constitution was originally written... it didn't work very well in the election of 1800...

rfc1945 states:
...so it would be pretty difficult for anyone to have been using it in the 1980s, wouldn't it?
I understand new televisions come with a V-Chip but I've never seen one in action.
...?
Can you program it for a minimum level of sex and violence? I only want to see things at least R rated...
Or - With the new process, will we see, "This program has been approved by the Catholic Church but banned by the Episcopalians"

I challenge you to prove otherwise.

Wrong. According to Visa's Rules for Visa Merchants: http://usa.visa.com/download/merchants/rules_for_v isa_merchants.pdf

Some background would have been helpful.
Perhaps that is an International-only document.

By the same logic --
In the United States, a negligible percentage of all automobile miles occur on IH-95 and IH-5. Therefore, those highways are unnecessary.
I define myself as the Origin of the Universe.
You may think you exist, but actually you only flicker into reality during the brief periods that I perceive you.
Not that I'm an egotist or anything.
