not using facebook is not a good idea either... since even if you don't have an account they keep information about you... Only way to at least manage some of the privacy stuff is to have a account just to once a month go in and re-select the most private settings in the profile..
... since they are planning to build a datacenter here in sweden... And according to Swedish law you can request any and all data any company might have stored on you... =)
Having a elevator is not a right... Lived on the 5'th floor in a building from 1908 that where protected so no elevator was allowed to be installed... Sure it was a bit rough the first 2-3 weeks but running up and down the stairs a few times per day made wonders... Free training, why complain.....
It's lucky that EULA's are not valid at all in most of EU (if not all)..
You buy something and open the box and is forced to agree to something you where not informed about before the purchase is just crazy... Try returning a open box of some software to a retailer...
still, the banks already has real-time systems to handle this... made a purchase on my card today and the amount showed up as reserved on my account in less than 5 minutes... why not extend it to VISA/Mastercard since all the transactions still goes to their servers to be validated..
Yes, you need some locking for the real account-data.. But for just a "available amount" it should be a lot less critical and that could instead just be checked during the big batch job to correct for any errors....
And with this we would have big problems to know when it was morning/day/evening/night at the place you wanna call... much better to have timezones and know that "that country is 6 hours before us" so it's ok to call them... much easier to add X hours to the current time when contacting someone in another country than to adjust to a different time-schedule that is different for each country you visit...
Sure it would be easier for the ones that never travel, but it would cause lots of confusion for the rest of us...
So a normal withdrawal that is linked directly into the account could not be used?? I can see a withdrawal within a few minutes later on my account... If i withdraw an amount from any ATM here i can see that the amount has been withdrawn from the account from any other ATM (different banks)... Seems a bit strange to not reuse existing infrastructure that already handles this type of thing...
I think there is a more hidden agenda about wanting delays, and that is that they are making big bucks on those that overcharge their account because they forgot to transfer funds into the account...
Also about insurance... X banks pay Y amount of money... X*Y must be smaller than the total amount the insurance-company takes in, and probably quite a bit more for them to want to take the risk...
Actually that account is just a transfer-account without any interest at all... It's just an account i get my salary on before i pay the bills and manage where to put my money...
hmm... bank sends -> allow to withdraw up to X amount when the balance is changed. Visa sends amount X withdrawn to bank when card has been used.. If the network connection is down (at the store or something) then the charges are just buffered until it becomes available again...
Don't think it will be a big problem since they are just simple messages that can be queued at the bank or at visa depending on their server load... If they want to take less risks then just add more server-capacity to handle the total load..
I know that i have withdrawn too much on my card when visiting another continent.. Forgot to transfer some funds but where able to withdraw about 500EUR more than actually in the account... So maybe the visa/mastercard etc just have a flag saying "this card is not over the limit" and then syncing this with the bank from time to time...
Irritating to get a overdraw fee when you have money sitting on the next account...
I am not surprised that open source IPSec implementations could do it, and I mentioned that they probably could, but not everybody is going to shell out $500-$600 bucks to create their own routers for both sides.
Option 1 - 2 routers running OpenWRT and OpenVPN can be had for $100... Complete with a web-interface, but will probably need the user to follow a step by step howto on setting up the tunnel...
Option 2 - Get a couple of old computers (even a 486 could probably handle this..)... say ~$50 each.. Install PFSense and then just use the webgui and setup a GRE or OpenVPN-tunnel...
Option 3 - I know MikroTik RouterBoard supports GRE and they can be had for around $50 as a starting-point... never used them myself so no idea about the ease on configuring them...
Well, you probably need to make sure you dont have any of the files or metadata in the buffercache before starting.. Also limit the search to the actual filesystem you want to test..
EULA's mean diddly shit.... They mean nothing to me, and I'll break them forever.
They may mean something to your lawyer and they may mean something to your wife when she sees service of process.
Well... that's for countries that allows EULA's... lots of countries EULA's are invalid since they are presented after purchase... Also, a EULA cannot override consumer-laws.. Atleast not in Sweden and Finland it seems, and i think i heard something about Norway... And lets not forget that UK guy that got money back after the OtherOS removal...
I don't care about the money... i just want to keep OtherOS and be able to upgrade so i can play on PSN.......
160. On its website, SCEA wrote: Why did you delete the “Other OS” feature?
A. To protect the intellectual property of the content offered on the PS3 system as well as to provide a more secure system for those users who are enjoying games and other entertainment content on the PS3 system, we have decided to delete the feature to address security vulnerabilities of the system.
161. This statement is a fabrication. SCEA gave these reasons as a pretext so that it could attempt to argue that the Warranty, SSLA, and/or TOS allowed for the removal of the “Other OS” feature. In reality, SCEI and SCEA removed this feature because it was expensive to maintain (as they previously admitted when the feature was removed from the “slim” models – but which they conveniently removed from SCEA’s website); they were losing money on every PS3 unit sold (due to poor decisions in the planning and design of the Cell chip as noted above and given the PS3’s extra features); SCEA needed to promote and sell games to make their money back on the loss-leading PS3 consoles (and there was no profit in users utilizing the computer functions of the PS3); and IBM wanted to sell its expensive servers utilizing the Cell processor (users could cluster PS3s for the same purposes much less expensively).
162. SCEA has never revealed how its “intellectual property” would be unprotected through the use of Linux on the PS3. Moreover, the utilization of Linux did not make the PS3 less “secure.”
163. It is virtually impossible to use the “Other OS” for piracy because the PS3 is specifically designed to avoid allowing piracy through using the “Other OS” feature. When the “Other OS” feature is enabled, the software prevents the proper operation of the gaming feature to avoid allowing the features to interplay. In order for a hacker to pirate a game, it is necessary to perfectly emulate the operating system for which the game is designed, including the API, which is the interface for the game OS that supports all of the features of a game. However, when the Other OS is in use, the API and other hardware features are blocked, including the graphics chip in the PS3, which makes it impossible to run a pirated game on the Other OS. As of January 2011, Sony had yet to identify a single instance in which someone used the Other OS to pirate protected content.

complain??? where did i complain about apple's prices?? I just stated that when someone else made a similar product apple sued them...

But if you think about it from a business standpoint it would probably cost less to implement than $365 Million for Canada

lol... Then China would own USA's ass :D

1. Employer-tax of ~30% (15% for people younger than 26 and older than 61 only have ~10%)
2. normal tax of ~31%.

Yes... They do control themselves...

I would complain more that i would have to send in my eyes to get the battery replaced.. and wait for a few weeks before i get them back.
