I lived in a town where someone put up a fake bank night drop box and some 'out of order' tape on the real night drop box over a weekend at a bank we used to use.
This same town was near another suburb where someone had a reader glued in front of the atm machine. That device was confiscated by the police.
My point is that someone could just put up a scanner and have it look like an outdoor speaker rock just to collect numbers somewhere, walk by with a wireless PDA and collect those numbers, go home and actually start to see if they can get any information from those results. Or better yet, compile a list of results from location A. Place a rock in location B and correlate the results from the 2 to see trends, etc...
I don't mind the magnetic strips because I have to physically hand the card over. With RFID, that isn't neccessary. Just wait until RFID is part of your drivers license.
Well I for one will use my licensed verion of Windows 2000 when I needs a Windows system. I will also use that version to play games. If I need Windows 98, I reboot and select Windows 98 and play those games that only run on Win98.
I won't personally use WinXP because I disagree with the EULA and frankly, since I'm Linux/Mac OSX at home, don't need to except for my old parallel port scanner that still works, the older games and flight simulators that I have.

Referring to the parent post, bugmenot doesn't work all the time. In those cases bugmenot doesn't work, use Googlebot user agent and you'll get in {YMMV}. It works for me.
OSX 10.0 to 10.1 to 10.2 to 10.3 isn't XP to XP SP1 to XP SP2. It's more like Win95a to Win95b to Win95c to Win98 to Win98SE to WinME.
OSX 10.2 is vastly different from OSX 10.0 and same from 10.3 to 10.2. 10.4 to 10.3 again will be vastly different. The differences are greater than XP SP1 to XP SP2 or Win2K sp1 to Win2K sp2, etc...
Win95 is Windows Ver 4.0 Win98 is Windows Ver 4.1 WinME is Windows Ver 4.9 Win2K is Windows 5.0 WinXP is Windows 5.1 Win2K3 is Windows 5.2
Full versions of Home based are $200 with upgrades at $100 (Yes you can get them cheaper but this is the legitimate on the record price) Full versions of Pro versions are $300 with upgrades are $200
The problem is that SP2 activates a software firewall by default.
Large installations who usually have an on-staff admin can easily overcome this with group policies.
It's the smaller businesses with rent-a-tech that will have issues especially if they don't have a tech savvy person on their staff.
Local file sharing and printing will not work in some cases and odds are with the smaller businesses, updated patches to listed programs will most likely not be installed.
The lawyers are 'making' the connection that video games are harmful.
Tobacco companies never said that cigarette smoking is healthy. There are surgeon general warnings on every pack of cigarette sold in the US. The end consumer is supposed to be responsible from that point but somehow the lawyers have made it the manufacturers fault and not the end consumer.
What the tobacco companies are guilty of are additives that are addictive and not disclosing it.
I can agree with "He's just doing his job, which is getting his client off the hook" but going after the companies because they have money is just greedy.
That was like the Atlanta lawsuit from Mayor Bill Campbell going after gun manufacturers for 'causing the deaths' of innocent children.
Just like John Edwards going after tobacco companies for 'causing the deaths' of people who are stupid enough to smoke.
These attorneys are greedy money grubbing bastards and fabricate fault and blame to get their way.
I'm so sick and tired of the words "Innovation" and "Technology" used in the same sentence coming from the mouths of Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer (Story from earlier)
Netscape pretty much goes under for 4 years, has limited resources, and out comes Mozilla from scratch.
IE sits for 4 years and festers. A company with unlimited resources is going to just stick a label on it and call it #7 with no innovation.

Wasn't the market share for computer games the C64 back then? I seem to remember aisles of games for the Commodore until 1989 when the PC gaming shifted to IBM compatible.
It doesn't work in Safari either. To me that means that those browsers have an interoperability issue. Even the IE fix is a javascript patch to make Google maps work.

Actually it's IE with the issue of filling out forms.
Mozilla, Netscape, and Firefox all work well with Version 6 and web pdf forms.
Dunk.
I shoulda RTFA. I assumed it was RFID.

It's happened to me as well but that's what you pay insurance for.
Should we use tin foil or aluminum foil to wrap our cards up?
iMovie/iDVD is pretty cool and comes with a Mac Mini
I can't tell you how many times I've had MS on the phone and have been told the same regarding Exchange 4 to 5 to 5.5 to 6, etc...
That's why I got sick and tired of pushing their products based on false promises of features.

You could browse as a googlebot and get in that way without registration on most sites.
The problem is that people DO click the ads thereby countering any bandwidth leeching that could be done.
You should try spamvampire.

Actually you're only legal to run Office 2003. All others are invalid once an upgrade is available.
DS9 was decent because of Moore of BSG.

Reason is because of our land mass. It's far chaper to deploy wireless to a land mass roughly the size of 200x800 miles vs 1500x3000 miles.
Do you know what Beta means?
It doesn't work in Safari either.

Brilliant!
Gee... why patch inferior with something worse? Try this antivirus solution instead.
Good point about elevation but remember;
a) It's beta
b) Google want to target local search instead of cross country travel
Type pizza or consignment and you'll see what Google is after.
Pretty awesome app.
