i'm assuming there is no vulnerability. that'd be the real story. if there's a root vulnerability, you can do almost anything. you don't need to fool the user, you just sit in the background and download all of their pictures and data and scan memory for credit cards and passwords
Lost/Stolen card:
Distinguishing characteristic: The smallest source of fraud on cards. Consumer generally knows immediately or is alerted by bank to suspicious transactions, which often involve small test transactions to see if the card is still active — such as at automated gas station pumps.

common sense friend. you can hack and get a million cards, or risk a going to jail as a violent offender to get one card. duh?
got anything else to say? colorful words? anything?
man, did you read your post? i didn't ask for evidence that chip cards are more secure than MSR cards. you said this,
I'm still hoping more NFC in terminals and more support for Apple Pay. The handful of times I've used that [Apple Pay], it's been much faster and it is more secure [than chip cards].
let me restate, can you describe why you think apple pay is more secure than a chip card?
i didn't advocate anything. i said the main reason people jailbreak their phones, especially in asia, is to install software they'd otherwise need to pay for. i'm not making any judgement about piracy or jailbreaking.
are you going to tell me to fuck off now? i'll feel a little empty inside if you don't.
I've looked into rooting both my phone, and my tablet
having a custom ROM and rooting are orthogonal. i have a Nexus 10 that's rooted but's running the stock firmware and continues to get OTA updates. that being said, you are mostly right about running a custom ROM. the result is a loss of an hour of your life and a device that's almost always less stable.
exactly. this little detail
That's because the malware, after having previously obtained root access
the app has to have root to work. how did it get root? my guess is that it's a an app that masquerades as an app that requires root, and it fools the user into granting root privs to the app. if that's what happened, the users deserve their fate.
That's because the malware, after having previously obtained root access
how did it get root? either the device was rooted and the user granted the app root privs (duh!), or they've discovered a hack to gain root on non-rooted devices. if it was the latter, we'd be hearing a lot more about it, and faking a phone shutdown is the least of our concerns.
The handful of times I've used that, it's been much faster and it is more secure.
and how did you determine that?
but does nothing to stop stolen card fraud
i guess you are talking about physically stealing a card. that's almost almost zero percent of the problem. that requires physical theft which criminals don't want to risk for the most part.
Your next creditcard (in a couple years) will probably have a chip-and-pin system
most likely chip and signature. the difference being what you'd expect
chip and signature is arguably less secure, but it does prevent credit card cloning
let's not get all high and mighty about freedom and privacy. it's about installing pirated software. call a spade a spade, that's all i'm saying.
And yet, the majority of iPhones in Asia are jailbroken. Why?
so they can installed pirated apps.
2) Node.js isn't fast. It's concurrent.
hmmm. i thought the thing about Node.js is that it *isn't* concurrent, it's event driven. there's one thread for your code, although connections are queued asynchronously. so

The real evil is the patent system itself, not the hackers who take advantage of it.
no, it's the people.
your argument is basically that individuals can only be held responsible for a heinous act if it's unequivocally disallowed by the law. that's just a cop-out that allows people to take advantage / cause harm to others, or society.
there will *never* be enough laws to cover every possible situation. that's why we have parents that hopefully taught us right and wrong and common sense
. They aren't themselves so evil, they are basically hackers, but of the law instead of tech.
no, they aren't hackers unless you mean that hackers are people that cause harm to others (only).
TWC's "basic cable" is $19.99 (for 12 months, then it goes up of course) and includes no internet.

not to mention that basic cable doesn't really compare to a streaming service like Netflix. first is that basic cable is SD. then there's the whole "tune it at 9.30pm on tuesdays" problem.
