Unless you propose to do away with non-cash payment methods, then every merchant that accepts credit will always price their products to cover those fees.

That means that all the people out there who continue to pay for things with cash subsidize those of us that use cards with cash-back programs. I get about half that "haircut" in checks in the mail and free hotels and airfare, and I run anything I can through credit cards that I pay off with no interest.

Barence writes "Is it even possible to buy technology with a clean conscience? With the vast majority of gadgets and components manufactured using low-paid labor in Asia, manufacturers unable to accurately plot their supply chains, and very few ethical codes of conduct, the article highlights the difficulty of trying to buy ethically-sound gadgets. It concludes, 'The answer would appear to be no. Too little information is available, and nobody we spoke to believed an entirely ethical technology company exists – at least, not among the household names.'"

New submitter mrnick writes "Eric Simons, 19 years old, was working at incubator Imagine K2 in Silicon Valley, which was hosted at AOL's Palo Alto campus. His grant money eventually ran out, but his access badge kept working, so he moved into AOL's office. He slept on a couch, took showers and washed clothes in the office gym, and ate for free in the cafeteria, all the while working on his new start-up. He was able to get away with this for two months before being discovered by security guard."

[I]f you AT ALL have any ED problems, or if you jerk off a few times a week, I challenge you to go cold-turkey for six months and observe the changes within yourself. You have nothing to lose!

Bullshit; infrequent ejaculation increases the incidence of prostate cancer, not to mention the more immediate discomfort of blue-balls.
