That's already fixed. Doesn't run as root and you now have the option of turning the P2P stuff off and on as you wish.

And it is. The world has announced sternly how much the USA loathing rised during the Bush presidency.

Greetings from Sweden, the land of Nobel.

What your are talking about doesn't really sound like card processing, it seems you are using Direct Payment where you can pay using your bank account and some form of authentication (differs from bank to bank, but usually the same two or three factor auth you use for you online banking.

Now, at least my bank uses 3D Secure as well. The implementation differs between banks in Sweden. Some use only a text challenge/response while others use a two factor system where you need your cardreader as well. Works extremely well!

Even if that was true (which it is not), it's not the reason I switched to Google. My problem was that altavista snuck ads into the search results. Like adwords, but it would appear as search result #1. That - combined with the fact that Googles result were better and updated more often - didn't really make the choice all that difficult.

So I don't know why they bother.

On the other hand, my eyes head for the ceiling when the guy who has been there two weeks starts explaining the half dozen major changes we should make to the business. Spend six months learning how to do it my way you greenie! When you're fully trained on the job, I'll be interested in your opinions on how to improve it

A business guy who was involved with starting up Metro told me that when it comes to making good changes in organisations you have two weeks to learn the business, two weeks to come up with the changes and two weeks to implement them. Wait too long and you'll just end up being normalized to the same thinking as everyone else and nothing will be improved.

Not saying this can be said for everything, but your line of thinking represents a big problem when it actually comes to changing things.

The difference now is that the music industry could decide what you would watch on MTV. Ads only work if you are forced to watch them, so the popular music video X could be shown as long as the videos for new bands Y and Z were also shown while people were "waiting" for X.
