I'm not Mr Iwantyoutopay. I am Mr Takeresponsiblityforyourdamnselfasshole. The irresponsibility you and others like you exhibit costs merchants millions of dollars. Since you see no direct loss, you don't give a shit, and through negligent action may as well just hand your cards over to identity thieves and take a kickback from them.
You've had to replace over 30 CARDS because they were compromised and yet have the balls to say it's paranoid to not give out your details to just anyone? Fucking really? Are you insane?
I'm careful about who I trust with my card details and have never once had one of them compromised. I don't care how trivial you think it is to have to dispute the charges, then cancel & reissue the card. Most of us do not care to have such a blaise attitude about identity theft and fraud. This fraud also costs the merchants and card companies real money--which you may not be on the hook for Mr Whogivesafuck, but we all end up paying eventually in price increases, fees, and higher interest rates.
I bought two Lenovo laptops in the last six months or so (one for me and one for the woman) and I quite enjoy them. Not high-end models, just $400-450 range. The construction quality and finish seems nice, they weren't loaded down with bloatware... I have no complaints at all. The HPs and Toshibas in the same price range that the Office Depot drone was trying to push on me just didn't feel very solid. Cheap plasticy feeling. The sound system on mine (G series) is probably the best I've heard in a laptop. I've had Dells for the last few years, provided by my company, and I really didn't have any complaints about the Latitudes either, although I'd prefer to work on the Lenovo now.
Bull. Shit. Different hotels in the same town, next door to each other, have wildly different policies. Budget hotels offer free WiFi almost universally, along with other freebies in EVERY CITY. The more you pay for your room, the more likely it is you will be nickel and dimed for every little thing you use. It's been this way forever. It makes no damn sense to me either. I get free shit with my $80 room, but with the $200 room they tack on surcharges for wiping my ass with the window open.
Of course! Let the free market decide what we're allowed to eat! It's the democratic way. We'll never fall into that nazi-esque socialist trap where we get to eat what we want and the government provides free healthcare. That would be a terrible way to live. Terrible. I want my employer to monitor everything that goes into my mouth and pay me less if I eat too many Krispy Kremes Sunday morning. It's for my own good.
I just installed both of these on a PC the other day... there's a rather obvious checkbox above where you hit "install" to prevent the toolbar or Chrome from being installed along with Reader or Flash. Still an annoying opt-out that probably catches people who aren't paying attention (like yourself perhaps?), but hardly a forced, unpreventable install.
The "skin" is still fossilized, but you can see the texture and possibly structure of it. It's not preserved in the way you're thinking. Although, they have found some biological matter preserved in the center of large bones before. T-rex bones, I believe.
A fossil like this is rare and worth a decent amount. Collectors will pay obscene amounts for it, amounts that a museum may not be able to match. So just be happy they loaned it to a museum at all, so at least we can glean some scientific knowledge from it.
Any SCADA/HMI system should be physically isolated from the business LAN regardless of whether it's internet accessible or not. Sounds like a few inherently bad choices were made here if this is true.
I also don't think the majority of their customers want apps that are going to keep costing us money for new content or forcing ads in our faces. If I start getting popup ads on my Blackberry, I'll drop it in the toilet.
I don't believe they're associating weights with the UPCs you scan. It's merely checking that the weight in the bag has changed when it's supposed to, or not changed when nothing was scanned. You can test this out next time by scanning an item, and then just apply some weight by pressing with your finger in the bagging area. The "place your item in the bag" message will go away, whether you press hard or soft. I'll do this if I have over-sized items that won't go in a bag, like a 40lb bag of dog food, and the register does not have a "skip bagging" button.
It's a Pearson Education owned site. Pearson publishes a ton of college books. Just because they offer Office related training, you're going to discount them as an example of a website that doesn't allow FF? Even most of MS's sites now work just fine in Firefox.
That's the funny part. It won't let you even login if you're not using IE, but if you use the User Agent Switcher add-on and set it to IE, the entire site seems to work just fine in FF. (which is what I do)
Yep, that is a bit scary. I've run across sites that cause FF to crash from time to time, even with NoScript running. It is not my first inclination to go and open that site in IE.
Change ISPs. My colo company specifically states in our contract that they will not touch my server (physically or remotely) without my prior consent. Once they had to rearrange the rack to fit a new server in, and they called me to ask if I wanted to be present or to move mine myself.
Is the game available to people in the US? I can imagine a horde of fat rednecks trying to make a living by watching some brits on cameras 12 hours a day. Don't worry my Brit friends, we'll keep a close on eye on you. Just to keep you safe.

The method being presented here would only have you proxying the actual files you are downloading yourself, not just any random thing.
Data is still at risk. I can take a screenshot of those pixels.
Yep. That information repetition is especially noticeable when watching certain shows on a service like Netflix.

What products? All of our products are shipped in from China.
Unless we've bottled and are selling arrogance now. We have plenty of that.

I can't wait, if that's true.
Call me crazy, but I'm pretty sure he was being a bit tongue-in-cheek.

My god, these countries have no respect for American IP laws at all do they?!

There's no protection for having a stupid password to gain entry to a system.
You may as well have not had one.

Windows runs just fine on Intel Macs without any bootcamp. You can boot up right off the CD like you would a Dell, and install it.
