  1. Re:"Great geopolitical importance" on NATO Providing Cybersecurity Equipment To Ukraine (securityweek.com) · · Score: 2, Interesting

    If we wanted to really change things, we'd send Ukraine a 1000 tons of steel and a ton of 'weapons grade'.

    They gave up their nukes in a deal with Russia. Russia has violated that agreement, they need a nuke or ten.

    Bud's 18th birthday

    where they show you their butt
    and their trap stays shut

    at the nudie bar

    in their underpants

    Other bits

    Where a buck's enough
    to see their stuff,
    at the nudie bar.

    Where the breasts may be fake
    but man do they shake,

    Where you swear like a sailor,

    Where Christmas is nice,

    at the nudie bar.

    Where you drink down the shooters,

    at the nudie bar.

    Where eggnogs are plenty,

    That one was fucking useless, couldn't fix the english and spelling without mangling the meaning. Just too dumb.

    The basic problem was: He had no clue, but wasn't sharp enough to realize it. His draft was a disaster. Out the door he went. I guess we made use of a few screenshots he took, but aside from that it was back to the engineer written rough draft. Which the customers, being engineers themselves, were able to use.

    It's always a good idea to bring in tech writers, they are cheap, _much_ cheaper than technical people. But you want to make sure they produce a draft during their probation period. Not many smart ones, lots of attitude.

  8. Re:The government let them do this in the first pl on Visa Considers Extending 'War on Cash' Business Incentives Outside US (cnbc.com) · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Surcharges are illegal, but cash discounts are not. Some merchant agreements try to ban them. But even then, make it a freebee after X dollars cash deal.

    Business just has to have the balls to raise their middle fingers to VISA. I've seen more than a few that are ATM and cash only. I bet that costs them less than 2% in sales.

    The elephant in the room is Apple/Google pay. VISA _should_ be worried. After 40+ years of VISA/MC's 'we're the only game in town' attitude, everybody should be looking for alternatives.

    IIRC correctly there are a few that stink so bad they never see daylight. From memory: Some Italian blue blood spent the entire family fortune making a movie about an animated, singing, dancing purple dinosaur (not Barny) starring Whoopi Goldberg, back when she was a 'star'.

    Her people bought it, to save her career. Now that 'she's done' anyhow, they should release it for the luls.

  11. The cards dump it on the business 99% of the time. The business pays the % and pays the loses. The cardholder sometimes gets a % back.

    I suggest business implement a 2% cash discount (after raising prices 2%).

    Everybody that got short sentences and/or probation answered 'no' to those questions...

    It's like the personality assessment tests. 99% of the questions have obvious correct answers. The trick is: Spot the 'honesty tests' (they're obvious too), then never slip-up and be honest on any other questions, always sling bullshit. Don't hesitate, they time how long it takes to punch in the answer.
