You are aware, that with credit card like payments, the onus of proof is upon the retailer not upon the credit card holder. However the current problem is failure to prosecute retailer's for fraudulent charges and the whole identity theft lie. A lie designed to throw the burden on individuals and away from credit card companies and retailers. A prime example of first class marketing by PR=B$ companies, got you all sucked into believing that the individual must prove their innocence, rather than the guilty people, the retailer and the credit card company must prove they did not intend to commit fraudulent charges ie that must prove that they were defrauded by someone impersonating you.

Only one composite feature, a phone locator and a reminder to take off the watch and put the phone in my pocket. I suppose I'll also need a app on the phone to find the watch ;D.

You left out the one where competitors actually pay PR=B$ (public relations and marketing companies) companies, to bag competitors products and thus make their own products not look quite so bad by comparison. Anyone want an Apple, cough, cough?

Lego fusion is only a simple extension not a whole world built of Lego, especially in multi-user. So they have a whole long way to go. The smart idea is allow people to cheaply design Lego models and then allow them to order the parts based upon the design and have it delivered as a custom box ready to go in the real world.

Actually lateral thinking would be to buy Lego and create a full game based around constructing with the Lego blocks. You then have a full 'click and mortar'(heh, heh) solution ie a full range merchandise already in stores to go with the newly created game. Makes much more sense than buying minecraft.

Nothing at all confusing, when you read the fine print. Paypal wont be 'accepting' bitcoin, it will be allowing transactions and the merchants are the ones who will only voluntarily accepting bitcoin and paying real money to allow those funny money transaction. So Paypal will sneakily be handling bitcoin to earn real money and pushing all the risk on merchants foolish enough to accept them. As to be accepted the majority of merchants will refuse them. So bitcoin will only be a parallel currency and not as the story or the bitcoin ponzi promoters who got in early, converted by Paypal into real money. In reality more an exercise in marketing to drive news stories and free advertising to compete against other 'small' transaction agencies as well as existing credit cards.

Why do you join in the lie, pretty obviously because you support the psychopathic scheme behind that lie. It is enough for one but not enough for a family of four, hence the scheme is to charge the family of four for four lines at peak usage.

Realistic full usage would include four high definition channels at the same time, together with peaks of file downloads and 4 different audio visual communications channels. Uploads could peak quite high for example with the addition of uploading wedding or birthday videos to all attendees.

So why the strangle band, quite simply to artificially introduce scarcity in order to charge more for bandwidth already available in many countries, straight up psychopathic thinking fed by insatiable greed. Proof that the internet needs to become a government controlled essential service if it is ever to perform properly and provide a service that fulfils the needs of the majority rather than trying to feed the insatiable greed of a minority.

For a start government creates the concept of ownership of property. All property is owned by the government, the people that create that government and that government just allots control of elements that it owns based upon rules created by the individuals that form that government. First and foremost is rule of self ownership a right right fought for with the deaths of millions for centuries and screw any asshat that puts property rights about personal rights. So the employee always takes precedence over their personal rights ahead of the employers property rights because the employee is not property. You apparently don't get that. Property rights are a privilege not a right and assigned by the government to benefit the majority. When that privilege not no longer benefits the majority than that privilege is taken away either voluntarily or as is the norm by lethal force due to the nature of the psychopaths and narcissists who routinely abuse property privileged and try to extend to include ownership and control of persons via extortion or slavery.

Getting a computer science college degree does not preclude you from learning how to code. The college degree does exactly what it needs to do, it gets your foot inside the door, what other knowledge you bring gets you past the interview and of course goes on to build your career. Not having that degree more often than not means you wont even get a look in to the many and varied jobs within the computer industry. Of course how much extra education you gather in your own time or whilst employed will define where you go beyond that.

The problem with hypersonic weapons are they are specifically first strike weapons and hence a major escalation in planetary war state. Start playing with them and eventually and not all that far off. some idiot will be tempted to launch them and recalling them will be impossible. Want to start playing games like that, and might as well start putting big mirrors in space to start forest and agricultural fires. That has always been the greatest terrorist threat, terrorist running around with boxes of matches starting fires in wheat, corn etc fields just before harvest, during hot weather, as well as igniting major forest fires. All far simpler to do it with mirrors in space but still ludicrously easy to do on the ground. Right now psychopathic lobbyists from arms manufacturers are pushing war all over the bloody place, that management and those lobbyists should be targeted in order to save our selves from their insane greed, which ever country they come from.

What I found really smooth was to use create a mix of internal and external contracted support. Troublesome users are passed off to the external support and good users are done internally. The troublesome types want to use some else to prove how bad you are and they are happy until they start to realise how long external support takes and management gets the bill for that detailed external support of them. Everyone else learns to be a lot happier with the quick, direct, personal support and of course in overload situations passing them off to the external contractors helps balance out costs and in the case of remote locations, establishes the use of external contractors. Of course relying on external contractors alone becomes really costly and response times being grossly inefficient.

Any sane person does not equate a computer security interruption with a violent murderous attack. Some script kiddie attacking your system does not necessitate and armed response.

Do you want to know what this bullshit is really all about. It is about taking computer security, investigation and response from the public eye of police investigation and the courts and burying behind the bullshit of national security, military courts and of course endless imprisonment with no trial or conviction. The extension of GITMO to cover claimed computer crimes on the basis of 'WESAYSO' dinosaur thinkers.

They don't like your comments on the internet, then you must be a foreign spy and be intent on hacking public communications and be subject to the worst sort of physically violent arrests (potentially lethal and definitely requiring medical treatment) and followed up by dehumanising imprisonment and enhanced interrogation till you either die or confess to what ever they want you to confess to. All safely hidden behind a multi-national treaty, national security and corrupt politicians.

This is about being about to define individuals as computer terrorists, with no attempt by them to harm or kill any person, this is about as dangerous as it gets and a real threat to individual expression and safety.

The Russian government is really interested in dragging the US through the muck and mire of their endless corporate hypocrisy and mass media propaganda. They want to keep the Ukraine crisis going for as long as possible, with the US blocking aid convoys to collectively punish all people within the affected regions. The US of course could not take the simple course of doing nothing and letting it all peter out on it's own because the corporate strip mining of the Ukraine and extreme austerity for the majority poor, whilst the rich few fed off the fat of the land would have fed into another revolution, this required the US to push the Ukraine to force the situation.

The Russian government reclaimed the bit they were after now, it is all about making the US look bad in Europe, the US that bragged about spending 5 billion to start all this, the US that publicly got caught picking the new Ukraine leaders prior to the election and the US that is trying to start a corporate led coup in Russia, that not being the US government, which in itself is just a puppet of major US corporations. As always many accusations coming out of the US with very little proof except of course what is taken from social media, erm yeah right.

As for Fox not-News using their Australia owned assets to release the story, hmm, guess why, the boy who cried wolf has cried it far to often and is now using foreign assets to feed the global corporate propaganda channel. We are in the third world war, the corporate wars, acting through puppet governments.

A holy war against the internet, sounds like the Ayatollah is joining the RIAA, the incumbent Telecoms, the conservatives and, Fox not-News, 'Net Neutrality is Evil', so is the open and free distribution of information and knowledge.

Isn't it amazing how the psychopaths at the top who want to own and control everything all seek the same means to feed their own personal egoistic ends. So a religious leaders seeks the same things as the worst psychopathic executives in the US, censoring, closing and strangling off the internet.

Can't have us divided and conquered types communicating together and sharing notes about out various conquerors and how the labels change but the behaviour doesn't at least not behind closed doors, just various public masquerades.

And for all those who die in the interim, 'MEH' something in the hundreds of thousands globally and the tens of millions who continue to suffer in pain but think about the pharmaceutical companies profits, the billions lost (or more accurately left in people's pockets rather than being extorted out to pay for patented pain relief), apparently your thought for them is, 'fuck you there is money to be made' at least three years worth and that's without the lobbyists and a religion based ban, 'WOOHOO" billions more profits.
