    In the US, they're pretty ubiquitous.

    Walmart and Kroger and KMart and CVS and Eccards and CircleK all sell moneyorders. Those are just the ones I know off the top of my head.

    You pay a quarter for them at most places.

  17. Re:State of the art on Deposit Checks By iPhone · · Score: 1

    I fail to see in the OP's post where the term "convenient" was listed as a requirement. Perhaps you'll benefit from not interjecting "your own" requirements into OP's post long enough to re-read it and point out where I missed it?

    In fact, OP only stated, "Then let me ask how you would handle the following situation (one of the few in which I use checks):"

    My reply was neither snarky, nor combative. It simply listed an alternative. So...how 'bout skipping your snarky, combative replies?

    The OP knows the person needs to be paid on a regular basis, "* I need to pay this person every two weeks.", and, "* I need proof that I've paid this person for a given time period so no disputes arise."

    I see no reason why the OP cannot pick up several Money Orders during their next shopping trip for the amount in question, partially pre-fill them out, and put them in his/her lockbox at home (or somewhere convenient and safe) and then simply fill out the rest of the form, as needed.

    I also fail to see where my original post (the first reply) was "redundant". Whomever modded my first reply as "redundant". You just wasted points that you could have used, more judiciously, elsewhere.

    You may not "like" my reply, as it may seem inconvenient to "you" but, for all you know, OP may work in or near a location where they can get money orders quick and easy, so it is not a burden to them.

    A Money Order should suffice as long as you retain your copy.

  23. They stopped trying to force IE8 in May? on Microsoft Backs Down On Making IE8 Default At Upgrade · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I did a fresh install of 7 recently (June 10th) after some tweaking of my system rendered it unstable. (not the point of the post, just background on why I did the reinstall)

    I did the Windows 7 clean install, loaded my drivers, and activated it.

    Grabbed the normal updates and, during that process, I right clicked the automatic update entry for IE8 and selected "Hide Update" because I choose not to load the IE8 software.

    Now with patches loaded, I go back to see if any of the patches needed patching. I go back to Windows update to get the latest round of patches and guess what the first entry on my Windows update page was...IE8! "critical", no less)

    I went through the process to hide it again. I load the other patches

    The next week MS released some more patches. I went to Windows Update to grab them and you wanna guess what the first "critical" patch was? IEfucking8!

    I made a thread at the Windows 7 forum, http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/itprovistaapps/thread/2d8a57f3-8904-49b8-a626-c6a5481ca9b4 asking them why they are trying to ram this program down my throat when I have specifically chosen not to use the program and, to date there have been 166 views of the thread, but no replies from MS...not that I expect a reply...
