Chip and PIN has also moved the responsibility onto the merchants. If they accept a card not via PIN (ie over the phone or signature) and the card is being used fraudulently, they have to pay, not the bank.
The whole chip and PIN has not been about security at all, just moving the risk off the banks!
Wayne Fletcher at Philips's Southampton lab says SFFO will be ready for sale in two years. Chris Buma, who heads Philips's optical division at Eindhoven in the Netherlands, says discs can be made for "a few cents". The drives will initially cost around £70 but this is expected to fall.
Yes, following the HTML 4.01 standard is not a guarentee that your site will be ADA complaint. However, I believe if you follow the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, also published by the W3C, then you should be fine. In fact, the Australian government enforces the use of this standard on all their sites.
Since Verisign "stole" the domain business off NetworkSolutions, I had nothing but trouble. At my previous job, they registered one of primary DNS servers incorrectly. And because of that, we couldn't set up any of our sites to point to our it! After about 10 emails with automated responses, I gave up.
That was about 12 months ago, I'm still not sure if it has been resolved.
I always thought these machines would be good as servers. You could have twenty of them serving your site. If one of them dies, just open the drawer and grab a warm standby, plug her in and off you go.
And it would look pretty cool having a whole drawer full of little PCs...
this response would not be acceptable. As I understand, under new privacy laws passed last year, a web site operator must delete any personal information as soon as practical on a user's request. I don't think 90 days would cut it.
I think your missing the point here. Frames are not accessable. Visually impared people using specialised browsers have great difficulty browsing sites that use frames.
And these days with standards like XHTML, you don't really need to use frames. Also, the BACK button is very bad with frames.

Not only are VeriSign abusing their power, they are collecting stats on every browser which mistypes a URL. This makes me soooo mad!!
This article is still in the yesterday list!!!

I think I was being sarcastic. For months I typed http://www.networksolutions.com... and then all the sudden one day I was taken to VeriSign?
