Granted, I'm not a moron and the passwords I use for sites are unique, so there's not much to be gained from my attempting to log in.
Interesting.
Text, thanks.
Sorry, Dice. Suck on a chode.
I know of several large retailers who have had no qualms about doing exactly that.

With DOS, in the old days, you could just cut the power to the computer without any warning, and it would be fine.
I know, right? Who needs buffers, or disk cache, or any of that other fluff...
Apparently you don't need line breaks, either.
VFI's "Point" would be right up your alley.
You talk to the device to tell it to do things, and it tells you results. POS however never touches the card data - that is handled in the device and a remote gateway.
... or offload SSL to the proxy, or use distinct SSL sessions between both sides. Client and Proxy trust each others certs, Proxy and upstream Server trust theirs.
Random video auto-plays with sound, nattering about some cellphone bullshit.
That's a computer using the output from a GPS.
No, the GPS "system" gives you coordinates. It has nothing to do with a map and the map is entirely optional.
For navigational purposes, it's a necessary option, but it's not a component of the system. The system is the satellite constellation, radio protocols, and associated algorithms. The system's output is your coordinate information - which as I said on it's own means nothing. You need a map to coordinate with, or another set of coordinates to do relational comparisons.
However, military aircraft have all sorts of other sensors and are generally not worn on a person's wrist. They also sit on the runway for 15 minutes spinning up gyros and aligning said INS systems... and they still have drift and need external correction from GPS systems or the like during flight.
If I dump you in an arbitrary spot with just a GPS, you'll be equally screwed. You need a map to correlate the GPS' output with, to have any use of it.
Indeed all a GPS does is give you some numbers and the time.
You need a map marked with the correct coordinate system to give any real meaning to the numbers.
It's a little hard to circumnavigate most towns without some rather serious tunneling equipment...
HOLY MACRO!
