Agreed. I view it more as an opportunity for a financial institutions to wiggle out in cases of fraud, leaving the victim holding the bag than an initiative to safeguard security on the consumer's end.

Teachers don't get stressed looked through all this. They get amused (if not laugh), then fail the student (if he/she merits that grade anyway).

$23 Quadrillion? Hmm, there were several large countries I wanted to buy... Depending on where the news was sourced from (because it seems like this error affected those using Visa debit products - e.g.: Visa Buxx), there was a lot of variations of what the individuals purchased, where they...

Well, maybe we'll catch a slipup: "x1Ohosting needs funds immediately or no more free hosting for the masses! Please donate! Western Union ONLY!" :P

I quite agree that Verified by Visa and Mastercard SecureCode is simply bothersome (yet another PIN to remember) and a not-so-subtle attempt at shifting liabilities to the consumer (Well, whoever used the card knew the PIN, so it must've been you or someone you gave permission to. And no, our...

Congrats! Beware of your fellow Mass. drivers though. YMMV, but I find that Massachusetts and Florida drivers in general to be among the worst drivers out there. Of course, they're no competition for NYC yellow cab drivers, but you get the idea.

I generally don't watch anime, unless I see it incidentally while with my friends or when I'm in Korea.

Every time I get used to a new design, it changes again. Personally, I liked the older design better.

Mistake #1 from the CAT guys: Some of us don't have landline phones which matches our physical address of residence. FAIL!

Up until 2 years ago, I was still using a 3.5" floppy disk for small files (CD-RWs for mid sized files and ethernet connection for large files). A little less than 2 years ago, I've got a 1 gig flash drive. And that's the smallest USB flash drive that I've ever possessed.

Well, assuming I pass all my classes, I'm set to graduate in two years with a BA in Chemistry and MA in Adolescent Education. I'm crossing my fingers and hoping that Bloomberg and Paterson won't make New York City and New York State respectively as a rich man's paradise. Dang it, they're...

1.5/384 uncapped for USD 29.95/mo. For the amount I'm paying, I should be getting double the speed (3 Mbps / 768). But alas, I live in an area with the distance limitations inherent to ADSL kicks in. I hear that Verizon is raising the minimum speed for their cheapest plan, which would match...

When in doubt, always give Snopes a check. Conveniently, Snopes actually has an article on this God vs. Science tale!

Perhaps you should give your dentist a visit/call? Always better to be safe than sorry!

Yes, I've been following it on the newspapers here (personally, I'm not much of a fan for TV news coverage) It really is a nasty turn of events. To me, it really makes the 9/11/01 World Trade Center / Pentagon attacks, Spanish rail and London tube bombing attacks look tame in comparison...

Funny, I was about to say the same thing, except add "Texas Hold Em" to #2.

Sorry to hear about you guys suffering over there. --- I suppose it might be easier for me to say this since I live in a place which hasn't experienced serious natural disasters lately (though technically, I hear that our city is not immune from catastrophic flooding; if it does happen, the...

Student (BA Chemistry / MA Adolescent Education candidate) Teacher in training (on a part time basis at a public high school)

Personally, I never had much of a problem with my previous web hosts. I only had to move because they were discontinuing free webhosting or because their new policies became too restrictive or difficult to maintain. So far, X10 is fairly stable for me. Except, I'm a tad bit too busy with class...

Been using Internet Explorer since version 3 and Firefox since 0.6 beta. Why does Microsoft need to take a beating before they feel incentivized to catch up to the competition?
