Bank of America Corp plans to charge customers who use their debit cards to make purchases a $5 monthly fee beginning early next year, joining other banks scrambling for new sources of revenue. Senator Richard Durbin, architect of debit card interchange fee reform, bashed the proposed monthly fee. "Bank of America is trying to find new ways to pad their profits by sticking it to its customers," he said in a statement. It's overt, unfair, and I hope their customers have the final say."
This morning, it looks like Bank of America's website is down.
>> Science and religion deal with two different domains.
To me, it seems that religions tend mainly to stand as a code of conduct for human societies. However, moral code is in the science domain because this concerns us, we humans, as a specie.
The right or wrong behaviors must be viewed from the point of view of human specie's survival. Objectively, the ethic is a survival trait that improves perpetuation chances for our specie. That's why there is so many religions with similar 'don't be evil' like code of conduct, even in little human groups lost in deep forests.
The religions was, somewhat, some sort of tools designed to ensure proper functionning of society (from perpetuation point of view) at times and epochs where societies had not disposed of large, efficient informational and educational infrastructures. Religions are now more "toxic" than useful in western world (condom, abortion, familly planning, grow and multiply, etc.) but still remain partialy usable in the less evolved parts of the world.
For us, science better fits our needs, the religions shouldn't be more than a memory part of our common identities.
Successfully recovered the related bad sectors, thanks to ddrescue and a screwdriver
For whom could be concerned, i have used my best floppy drive (from an old 80286 i don't even remember the brand), ddrescue with -R 2000 and a screwdriver to "lowering" the diskette while ddrescue tries the remaining 3 bad sectors. I got a complete recover and a full CRC match of the archive.
Thanks everyone.
