A political strategy is unrelated to facts. Are you insinuating that it was a bad strategy because it was not based on fact? Nixon did manage to win the election, you know. It doesn't matter whether it was true, it was perceived at the time that the Democrats pushed in the civil rights act and such things. I was born in Texas around that time, I got to hear plenty about it from my father, who was a history professor.
The ToS can include a privacy waiver for 3rd party billing. And, like many things, "3rd party" means "Nth party" as every 3rd party can have their own 3rd party.
Yes, they can deny you care if you refuse to sign the privacy waiver. I've had it happen.
There was lots about this at the "beginning" of AGW (or before). http://earthguide.ucsd.edu/vir... I'm not sure when that was written, but I remember hearing about the Atlantic Conveyor Belt in the '90s or earlier.
Maybe they found more information about details and confirmation. Such things get published all the time.
The facts that the Republicans used to be the liberal party, and the Democratic Party, the conservative ones. But in the past 150 years or so, the parties swapped, they might as well have renamed themselves a few times in there. In the first 100 years of the USA, the parties changed names more often, but didn't after.
Doesn't help that the mainstream politicians are always left of the southern standard. David Duke was a "local" Democrat, but when going national, he changed parties to the one that's more conservative. A Southern Democrat is right of a northern Republican. So dividing on party lines for such things is useless.
People today take cash, with cards as backup, or cards with cash as backup. Most people have multiple cards of different types. People will still carry ID. So *one* additional "emergency" card along with it isn't an inconvenience. So, a phone, and one backup card (and ID, as cops don't accept NFC Google + as a driver's license).
You may want to think twice about watching that movie on your phone if you're going to need to pay for a cab at your destination.
Taxis were one of the last to accept card payments, so you usually (down to merely "often" or "almost always", depending on location) require cash. So again, your problem is one that is shared by someone that relies on cards.
Or, at least, always make sure you have a charge cable with you.
http://www.thinkgeek.com/produ... Such a shame that portable re-charging options are so large and expensive. Or they are the size of a couple AA batteries, and cost under $10.
That's why you should have a backup and keep it on you if you are that far away. You'd have to be an idiot to travel that far and expect everyone to take NFC without any cards.
Yes, idiots get screwed by the system. But, as you noted, he refuses to hire a good lawyer. With a 50/50 joing custody agreement, his best option is to either file kidnapping charges against his ex or kidnap the kids.
The issue isn't that they don't take payment, but whether they charge the retailer (a separate fee) or charge the bank (no increase to the retailer, but a shave from the bank's high margins). They don't charge the user anything.
HIPAA (note spelling) doesn't protect billing data, when properly signed away in the ToS. That you can figure out from someone's purchases that they are a teen on the pill doesn't mean that "health data" is being transmitted, or that the information transmitted isn't required for proper billing records.
But then, someone who talks about HIPAA and doesn't know how to spell it, obviously doesn't know what they are talking about, but isn't afraid to post like they do, confusing others.
The terms of service for Texas A&M university refused cash for purchases and debts (because they defined "debt" in the ToS to be impossible). So, at least back in the '90s, they refused cash for payment and debt. It was check or card only. Check preferred, because there were fewer fees. Oddly some stores were cash only. So you couldn't buy your class with cash, but you had to buy your book for that class in cash. I don't miss pointless bureaucracies.
Note that coins are not cash, so they can pick and choose about coins they will accept.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C... "In English vernacular cash refers to money in the physical form of currency, such as banknotes and coins."
I've never heard of coins being excluded from "cash". I think that was a lie perpetrated by people so evil that all their debtors paid them in pennies.
Your credit cards don't stop working when your phone does. There is no single point of failure. You just have to go get your cards, for your hypothetical failure.
Nothing could falsify evolution that doesn't equivalently falsify simple reproduction. Not quite what I'm looking for.
So you are rejecting the easy answer as "too easy" and not accepting the hard answers because they are not fully proven (because nobody else has your standards).
That leaves us wondering why you are being so pedantic about this.
Reproduction *is* evolution. Parents pass on genes to their children, who are different than their parents. Q.E.D. Whether separate populations under different evolutionary pressures will result in non-interbreeding species is not required to prove "evolution" (in the most basic sense).
Let me be clear, I am not against evolutionary processes being a very significant factor in genetic change, I am after a falsifiable definition of it. And the typical usage of "evolution can be anything, just make sure to insist there's no God" just isn't one.
You've been given some, and you reject them, like you reject reproduction being tied to evolution. There is no falsifiable definition of gravity. Any definition that's falsifiable isn't falsifiable with our technology, hence why we are looking for dark matter and dark energy. Their absence would prove gravity wrong, from what we can observe.
And many "great laws" aren't falsifiable to the standards you require. "A body in motion tends to stay in motion, a body at rest tends to stay at rest" is no more "falsfiable" than "a genetic line will tend to 'evolve' to pass on the most desired traits" But there doesn't seem to be a large anti-inertia contingent in the US.
Every Intranet I've ever used. Any company large enough to have a formal intranet on separate systems, also moved slow enough that they were all made in the stone age. Seriously, I've worked for a large telco that had the intranet integrated with everything MS and only on older IE (IE 6), so that they are still using XP now, because they are so slow to react. No, I don't work there anymore.
Everyone was also denied local admin to their own machine. So if you ran across a site that didn't work in IE, you'd have to submit a ticket for Firefox, and wait two weeks for them to approve your business case for an alternate browser, and install it remotely (which didn't work, because they had the policy to turn off computers every night for power savings, and the policy to only install software after hours, so as to not disrupt work).
I don't have their list, but they had a "defensive list" of sites that required IE6 (no newer, and no other browser) to justify staying on the old one. Hey, if everyone else coded to standards, IE6 should work, right?

I didn't talk about the "Southern Strategy", so your other post is a non-sequitur.
So all the science about the greenhouse effect is lies because your opinion conflicts with it?

It's more convenient and secure than magstripes.

It wasn't in the 80's. I'm sure you didn't read the article, but did you even read the title of the summary?
Your credit cards don't stop working when your phone does. There is no single point of failure. You just have to go get your cards, for your hypothetical failure.
Yes. I've yet to see a chip and pin that doesn't have a magstripe.
NFC on is like wireless on. It might technically be on, but you'll never connect or do anything with it without additional steps.
Evolution is the theory that such selection mechanisms explain -all- variation, over -all- biological history.
I've never seen that as the definition. I think you are picking a fight. My only question is, Why?
Because I'm in favor of actual science, rather than "no clear counterexamples found yet, therefore forever proven".
So gravity isn't science either.
When your argument works just as well against gravity, then you look silly. Why are you so pedantic on this point?

It has become the default assertion, mainly because it is required for the worldview stance of atheism, particularly as popularized by Dawkins et al.
What, are you an anti-atheist atheist?
Then what has proven it false? Or are you doing proof by declaration?
Allowing inbreeding will repopulate the planet quickly. But that example of breeding speed is unrelated to the issue at hand.
Examples?
