Sold. As soon as it's for sale in the US, I'm getting it. The G1 was meh, the myTouch felt underwhelming, but this phone seems to be the best of the Android phones out there. Especically like the included WCDMA support so I can get HSPA speeds.
Debit card transactions require the merchant to obtain a credit card merchant account and often to sign a long-term contract and pay a fee to open the account. Debit card transactions are processed through the same network as credit card transactions, and funds are deposited, less a commission (known as the "discount rate"), into a merchant account. The discount rate for debit-card purchases is typically lower than for credit card purchases (This is because the bank is taking less of a risk with a debit-card that deducts funds immediately from a bank account than with a credit card.), however there are some merchant processors that do not extend this discount to their clients. Typically, 2-3% of the transaction plus a 30 cent inquiry fee will be deducted from a debit-card payment and the balance will be deposited into the merchant's account.
Direct-debit transactions use the Automated Clearing House (ACH) network to move funds from one bank account to another. Thus, you can use your regular business checking account for Direct-Debit transactions. You will need to sign a contract with a company authorized to manage these ACH transactions, but there is typically no long-term commitment. You will pay a fee for each direct-debit transaction you process-but it is typically a flat-fee that is not dependant upon the size of the transaction. (There are some companies that do charge a percentage based fee for direct-debit transactions-you should avoid these processors!). This fee is typically less than $1 per transaction.
I felt this way about American Express until they cut my personal credit card limit by $20K and my business credit card limit by $60K overnight with no notice due to "current economic conditions". Never a late payment (even prepaid the business card most of the time), never a problem with the accounts. Fuck. Them.
Would the wicket gates open/close rate not be computer controlled to prevent the hydraulic impact? Or could it be that this failure mode was not anticipated?
Unless state legislature makes it mandatory that state schools (colleges) use CK12's materials. Which I'm fairly certain they can do since they're the ones who dictate how much cash said colleges get.

I have yet to scan a passport with an RFID scanner. I'd be interested to see what sort of data can be gleaned solely from the serial number it contains.
The Ship of Theseus, also known as Theseus's paradox, is a paradox that raises the question of whether an object which has had all its component parts replaced remains fundamentally the same object.
What worries me is the black hat demo where their RFID detector detected US passports within range of a garbage can and detonated an explosive in said garbage can. No barcode/magstrip can be read remotely to determine your country of origin and action taken based on that.
Citation? My wife and I are about to travel to Japan, my passport is a couple of years older than hers and has no RFID, but hers does. I thought that we could damage the tag with a hammer or run it through the microwave, but I wanted to make sure this wasn't going to become a problem once we hit customs.
If someone is breaking into my home at 2am, they better hope they can run faster than buckshot. The call is for the cops or coroner to come clean up the mess.
Would you prefer a Fidelity statement with my account numbers and account nicknames blacked out (with black marker of course, not Adobe's blackout)? Or would you prefer to come meet me in Chicago for coffee? Would be glad to give you a ride in my Tesla Roadster over to the office for a tour.

So no, I didn't need that so called first step of yours.
Ahh, but the other %90-99 of us will need that "first step". What retard ties software development for a cellphone to a single hardware platform?

In the US, yes. In Japan, you can set your watch to public transportation.

Paypal is indeed getting cheaper rates than that due to their sheer volume. It helps when you process hundreds of millions of dollars a year.

No need for holes in the sail, you just articulate the sail itself.
Even if you get pushed off course, you get to discover $UNKNOWN_EXOTIC_EFFECT =)

This, This, This! Support your local municipal broadband provider!

Where can a US citizen such as I sign up to do so? My wife has always wanted to live in France for 3 months (at least).
Unless someone figured out how to take advantage of the huge SMS vulnerability in iPhones and caused a viral jailbreak to occur.

Excellent. Thanks for posting your experience. Makes my decision easier.
Thank you!
RFID tracking inventory/rail cars/etc. = OK
RFID tracking people = NOT OK

Ask your local government to provide municipal broadband. It's the same thing as taking back the last mile.

I completely agree.
