  5. OK on Why CurrentC Will Beat Out Apple Pay · · Score: 1

    Hooking directly to your bank account rather than a credit or debit card, CurrentC will use good old ACH to transfer money from your account to the merchant's bank account at little to no cost.

    This sounds plain dangerous, so my suggestion if you're planning on using this is to set up a separate account then transfer only a minimal amount into it.
    I'm wondering how secure these phone based paytools are and I wonder how long until I read about someones account being drained.

    The goal of terrorism is to disrupt life and create fear, so when you look at how we have to live now it's clear they won.

    Yes.
    Here's what I said again.

    However I believe in God, in the sense of Spinoza's God (Nature), Ecclesiastes convinced me not to believe in "religion" or what I see as the wrong understanding of God.

    Why? The school gets paid and students get to see the opposing view and decide for themselves.

    If you have ever had a conversation with creationist it's fairly easy to poke holes in their arguments.

    We may have been banned from the classroom,
    but banned does not mean silenced. By book-
    ing the speakers, and renting the facilities, we
    still have an impact.

    Creation Summit is visiting major college and
    university campuses throughout the country,
    bringing world renowned scientists before the
    students. Scientists with tangible proof and
    viable evidence. Many, for the first time ever,
    are discovering that the Bible is true – That
    science and Genesis are in total agreement,
    and if Genesis 1:1 can be trusted . . . . .
    so can John 3:16.

    I think everyone should read Ecclesiastes, it affirmed my lack of belief in Christian dogma. (or any religion)

    Whichever one of these retailers wakes up first and embraces secure technology wins a whole lot of new business.

    First no such thing as "secure technology", it's only secure in comparison to something else, second how will sheep that can't keep their own nudies from getting leaked know which is which?

    What I'm saying is be smart about it, couldn't you infer that from my comment?

    Maybe, but this has been argued to death, no need for a repeat.

    If people keep being stupid then they need to told, again and again and again, until they learn.

    If you don't want to read it then go on to the next comment, because the way it looks to me based on your reply is you're angry, angry because you don't think you should have to take care or worry about it, which means you don't grasp the reality of the situation.

    You remind me of the guy I worked with that kept all his anime figures on a shelf above his cube, prominently displayed, then he came in one day and they were gone, stolen.
    He went into a rage and demanded a surveillance camera and that something be done, the boss told him "Don't bring your toys to work if you don't want them stolen" and his argument was "I shouldn't have to worry they will be stolen at work", so he brought in some more "toys" and guess what, yep... those got stolen, he flew off the handle again and was written up, so he quit.

    That's you in a nutshell.

    Federal Bureau of Investigation Director J. Edgar Hoover called the party "the greatest threat to the internal security of the country",[7] and he supervised an extensive program (COINTELPRO) of surveillance, infiltration, perjury, police harassment, assassination, and many other tactics designed to undermine Panther leadership, incriminate party members, discredit and criminalize the Party, and drain the organization of resources and manpower.[8][9][10][11]
