Holy fucking shit, Turrican. If your handle is in reference to the Sega Genesis game I both loathe and respect you. That game caused such ridiculous frustration that my brother ripped it out of my friend's Genesis, threw it out of the third story window, ran outside and stomped on it and, as a final touch, threw it in his pool.
Instead of just saying something then saying "Go head and mod me down", how about you put a little substance into your reply, some points about why OS X or BSD would be better? Then we wouldn't have to mod you down!
If you are interested, there is also the Justice League's Tower of Babel story arc where Batman slaps around the entire Justice League. Now that was awesome.
You can't just turn around the "deal with it" argument by demanding others "deal with it" instead.
Yet you still manage to (however implicitly) do just that!
I've worked at a supermarket before, specifically a Super Stop and Shop. If a customer didn't have a card, there was a generic "store card" that we had that we could use if a customer didn't have one (barcode 2210666000013. I still remember that. Ask me the PLU for bananas). The fact that a "store card" exists probably does good for your point that it's mostly the purchasing trends that matter, not who's actually doing the purchasing.
Still, the person would not be allowed to pay with a check unless they actually signed up for a Stop and Shop card and gave all sorts of information but I personally think that it's reasonable to require that. Supermarkets lose buckets of money to checks every day for all sorts of reason, the least of which is dumb cashiers not checking to make sure the customer filled them out right. At huge chain stores, it would be impossible to track down someone writing bad checks or worse, defrauding the store by making fake checks without this extra layer of identification. What could the store do, post a list of everyone who writes bad checks that the cashier would have to look through every time a customer brought up a check? Cashiers can't even be trusted to count out proper change.

Judging from the picture on the site, they should have called it "Cinnamonbox".

I, for one, don't bust put champagne every time I swat a fly.

there was going to be a new Google service, Google Tidbits. Disappointed I am.
I'm sure AMD isn't going to be too far behind with this.
