Not entirely true - some credit card merchant gateways permit you to tokenize the credit card info and re-charge them without ever re-sending (or storing) the details. In these cases, the merchant only ever sees your details once - when they send them in to be tokenized. And the token is also usable only by the original merchant - so the worst a hacker could do with it is forcibly give your money to the merchant.
ACTA is weak in comparison to TPPA. If you haven't looked into that one - you should. It even screws the USA (by making Medicare bulk pharmaceutical negotiation virtually illegal which will drive up the cost of the program) in its attempts to screw the rest of the world.
Uh no, read the rest of the comment, where he actually defines "a medium for making digital music recordings". A hard drive would NOT meet the statutory requirements.
Incorrect. Since Apple entered our local market with iTunes, individual music track prices have literally doubled. If it wasn't for Apple sure we'd only have DRMed WMA music with pathetically easily removed DRM, but we'd be paying a hell of a lot less for it.
Correct. If you don't process the card yourself (instead running it via a third party processor and you never see the card number) you qualify for the lowest level of compliance. That level of compliance is basically "don't do stupid shit". Hell, I don't even have to fill in the SAQ-A.
Except that cooking a frog in a pot does not work like that. As soon as the temperature gets too hot, the frog jumps out. It's not possible to kill a frog by "gradually" raising the temperature of the water - in much the same way as it's not possible to lock developers in by "gradually" phasing in draconian requirements.
You are, of course, aware that the government owns two of the three companies that provide the service, and the one that owns the infrastructure though right (unless of course the idiots we call fellow countrymen vote National in again, in which case the government will own none of them and private enterprise will own all the critical infrastructure)?
You are wrong. Xcode cannot install an application onto a non-jailbroken phone without a valid paid for provisioning profile and developer certificate.
Sorry guys, even for a "Mom'n'Pop" business, $99/year doesn't even count as "serious callers only" - and go ask your bank how much it will cost you to set up as a credit card merchant.
$300. I realise that may actually be reinforcing your point (which is fine) but I'm just sayin' it isn't actually that expensive.
Now, the $40 a month and 3 year minimum term might make it add up...
Perhaps you should be the one researching. Your device requires a provisioning profile to run sideloaded applications, and you can only get a provisioning profile from the iOS Provisioning Portal, which you only get access to if you pay $99.
Bullshit. WP7 SDK actually includes Visual Studio Express (unless you have Visual Studio Professional or higher). Where do you people get these things?
They charge a fairly hefty amount for wire transfer outside the US. This isn't unusual though, Google and Microsoft also do this. It's usually about $15 USD per transfer, which is (I'm told) about the cost of the transfer for them.
Yes, and I'm sure Bing loves you misspelling their name. It's little things like that which hurt credibility, so I'd strongly suggest you give your site the once over looking for any other glaring deficiencies.
Actually, Microsoft is part of a consortium of IT companies who are on a rampage trying to find and sue out of existence all the botnet operators. There's an anti-virus vendor or two and possible a couple of major search engines in it as well.
Just googled it - if Amazon were using F5, F5 don't know about it. And even if the original design was just using spare capacity, that simply is not the case now (after all, that would imply that if Amazon itself needed to ramp up demand it could - and would - simply annex the entire EC2 capacity to cover it. This is, obviously, not the case).
If they were F5s, they'd actually work. We use F5 here, and from looking at the config, Amazon would have to be literally incompetent to get such basic functionality wrong.

They share the revenue from advertising and allow additional advertising with popular video owners.
That pricing has long since changed. And the list contains other events too without any pricing complications.
No it hasn't. It still costs $0.30 to remove DRM from old FairPlay encrypted tracks.

Don't know where you got "minimal prices".

It'd only be "whoosh" if he didn't provide a link. But he did.
Meh, it happens. At least you can laugh about it!
Oh no! We'd best pay to avoid having a sales droid contact us!

Really? Care to go back and re-read that post you're replying to? Maybe read the subject too.
He didn't ask for fellation, he asked for support. And didn't even get that. Might want to read next time.
Lima, Ohio, is on the other side of the planet from Lima, Peru.
Perhaps look at the link you're responding to before responding?

That's bollocks (as in untrue, not incredible). And I say that from the perspective of a developer at a healthcare IT company.
