Verified by Visa, 3D Secure, etc are GOOD for you.
"Card not present" transactions -- and especially online payments -- are inherently risky. 3D Secure essentially makes your payments password protected.
The dark side is that the card networks are pushing this so that they can move fraud liability from the merchants to the consumers.
You are a pompous moron. Normally I try to avoid the ol' ad hominem crutch but COME ON. So I shall justify.
He mentioned "business users" -- not himself, chief -- and you have no idea what they are doing with these files or why they are doing it. I'll help you understand.
Business users: these are people who do the things that allow you to have a job. They need to get things done. No, not self-righteous code monkeys who prefer to spin their wheels in the pursuit of meh.
They don't know CVS from the hole in your head and they probably wonder why it takes you an hour to edit something that would take them a minute.
They answer the same question as you with Excel in five minutes while you spend two hours debating with yourself in the "nice" stall in the men's room whether you should apply a Schwarzian transform to the blahbiddy doodle.
And yet here you are lambasting the poor poster;
Yeah, that poor guy who continued to scroll furiously downward after reading the first sentence of your post, determined to find his answer and relegating your bile to poor me, who just cannot avoid wasting more minutes of his boring life to conclude meaningless posts with interminable sentences.
Quagmire makes a great supporting character but he's too well-defined in the show's universe. Will each week feature Quagmire trying to get it on with a random neighbor? Maybe a special feature, "Quagmire on Holiday" where he tries to get it on with other vacationers? Too predictable, too easy. Quagmire's role limits his future depth.
Meanwhile, Cleveland is the quiet voice of reason, but he's easily drawn into Peter's (or anyone else's) antics. Who is Cleveland? What makes him tick? We don't know the answers to these kinds of questions, so it's easier for a producer to generate a good 40, 50 episodes around a name we know whose decisions and arcs aren't already limited by his history.
Wow, there are so many whiny fucking idiots in this thread. You ALWAYS have the right to sell your soul to someone else if you are not satisfied with its current paymaster.
THAT is what makes the market move. You don't want your shit jr. dev. job making 30k? Don't fucking take it in the first place.
It's an incredibly simple concept.
Too many of you (us, actually) are
1) Stupid enough to take a job whose params are shit
2) Feel entitled to double salaries because you made that pretty email form 3 months ago
Grow the fuck up! High demand comes from short supply. Learn highly demanded skills then shop your soul around. You are NOT entitled to SHIT.
At the end of the day, a human is responsible for ensuring that the data in a spreadsheet is kosher. It's been that way since Bob Cratchet scribbled in his notebook under the light of a candle. If anything, this will make a company think twice before replacing an accountant with a secretary.
Don't be naive. To boycott a website is to remove eyeballs, impressions, click-throughs. A boycott of a website can certainly be effective if its advertisers see a drop in traffic.
If you play and you do not feel you got your money's worth, complain. Call billing support and ask for a refund.
If that fails, charge the fuckers back.
These guys set their prices based on your willingness to pay. Talk with your wallet.
Think about this: most people won't bat an eye when they are asked to pay 20 bucks to buy a new book. That's five hours of content, considerably cheaper to produce than a video game
a) Hosting companies pay their uplink for bandwidth and transfer
b) Websites pay hosting companies for bandwidth and transfer

d) Surfers pay ISPs for bandwidth and transfer
This is an obvious spite move by Big Telecom. Analog telephony is dead, long live analog telephony. Don't invent services to make up for an obviated technology.
I'm seeing evidence of a consensus here that beginner programmers should understand low-level details, as though this were axiomatic. I completely disagree. The LAST thing a beginner programmer should worry about is digital logic, machine code, memory allocation, and so on.
Beginners need to learn how simple logic is expressed, as this is the heart of programming. Variables and control structures -- abstract concepts -- are the basis of programming, much more relevant to a newbie than registers and flops per second. A beginner can write hello_world.whatever in any high-level language without knowing a single thing about hardware. And that's a good thing!
When a newbie understands what a variable is, what a type is, what if-then-else mean, what foreach means, he's made a ton of progress and is ready to apply that basic knowledge to any future task.
So the language?
Who cares? BASIC, Perl, PHP, Python, Scheme, LISP, Ruby..... doesn't matter. I prefer an interpreted language for quick feedback, but it's not a deal-breaker.

You're going to have to cancel all those precious Mastercards as well. Mastercard's version is called "SecureCode."
Only a matter of time before you start seeing the same issues when you try to pay with your MC.
This is not a Coke vs. Pepsi thing; both associations are trying to mitigate risk and transfer the liability using the exact same methodology.

Which means the processor is storing a CVV and thus not PCI compliant.
How can you rebill a customer without storing the CVV?
...scratch that idea. Back to humping wallabies.
...you don't know where that dongle's been.
"Why?"
"IT says we got dongled, whatevthefuckthatmeans."
Wow, that's not even a slap on the wrist! I would budget 30 Hot Coffee type mods in the next GTA if I were Rockstar.

This is YOU using "Web 2.0" to end your privacy.
Correct. A business makes money.
If a corporation were a human individual, it would be an individual with severe psychosis.
I bow down to your troll powers. Not being sarcastic at all.

Yet another company selling its soul to line up at the trough of Chinese traffic.
