  1. Re: It's about time. on Death Hovers Politely For Americans' Swipe-and-Sign Credit Cards · · Score: 1

    No, its a standalone device you put the card into. Enter PIN, website gives you challenge you enter into device, then it spits out a response. Very simple device. It runs off a watch battery for 2+ years.

    Every POS will need a card reader designed for chip & PIN, plus the back end. That's where the cost is at, not the home device.

    There are wireless POS devices, too. One benefit of this system is that you never have to hand the card over to the retailer, so it never leaves your sight.

    Cheaper to pay for the fraud than the switch. I would guess that has changed, now.

    And what good does this do you when you buy online?

    If it has the same challenge/response system, then you have to generate a code with your card & reader in order to buy something. Something you have & something you know...

    Other than being able to link to comments, I don't see how "conversations" are affected.

    Aren't you supposed to be on a boycott?

    Maybe you shouldn't be on a computer.

  8. Re:Interesting on Snowden Used Software Scraper, Say NSA Officials · · Score: 1

    I think the way that news keeps coming out in piecemeal as people discover what's in the files, helps to show that "data" was grabbed, rather than just proof of illegal spying.

  9. Re: BETA sucks. on Finnish Police Board Wants Justification For Wikipedia's Fundraising Campaign · · Score: 1

    I was just playing with it on my phone. There are links to show All, Funny, Informative, etc. comments. Plus there's a gear (settings) to click on to set the view level from -1 to 5.

    This actually works better than the old slider, at least on mobile.

    What in beta breaks the moderation system? Moderating itself or the display of comments?

    I read it. I read through the comments, too. More bitching with little discussion on what the actual issues are.

    The only thing that would kill the place is if people can't comment. I agree that comments are what makes the place. Maybe moderation is second, but I normally browse with all comments visible, so moderation doesn't mean anything to me.

    How about instead of posting "fuck beta" how about listing it at least linking to a discussion on the issues.

    1. Can't link to comments. I see where that is often useful.
    2. Nested comment boxes on mobile is horrible. The or four letters deep and I'm down to one word per line on the screen.
    3. Something's wrong with moderation?

    I don't have mod points, so I'm not sure what the issue with modding is.

    What functionality is missing? All I see is bitching because its different or has whitespace.

    Okay, so you have to use "em" for italics...

    just keep getting smaller and smaller?

    Reminds me of reading a site on the phone where the blocks would eventually get so small that only a single word is shown on each line. okay...that's annoying.

  17. the nested blocks? I can see that getting annoying at enough levels down...

    People hate change... I don't get it.

    I'm trying beta right now. I can read the articles. Read the comments. Post a comment, obviously... what's the big deal other than hating change?

    Well... maybe I'll see the issue when I click "preview"...

    I doubt you'd believe the report, so what's the point? If "they" can have someone killed, they can fake an autopsy report.

    If our government is efficient enough to even carry out a tenth of these conspiracy theories, we're fucked. I've seen them in action, though, and I think we're okay.

    The complaint is that they are doing this specifically with "private" messages. There doesn't appear to be an issue or complaint about the general process (i.e. with "Public" data).

    Where in the complaint does it address Facebook seeking data to third parties?

    Your first points as to who has more accurate data on you is arguable, too.

    I don't see anywhere in the complaint saying Facebook is selling or providing the data to third parties. The complaint isn't even really that they're doing this, just that they're doing it specifically with "private" messages.
