Well, my Mac Mini (newest version) can run some IOS games. It's kinda neat.

And you should tar and feather me for doing a few micro-payments in one of them. I hate myself.

Nice to see a good-natured post/joke about an Apple product for a change.

Same answer every president, vice president, or any other gov. official has given in the last 15-20 years. The biggest thing that's changed is even the acknowledgement that Area 51 exists, and that's mostly due to a lawsuit from workers that were poisoned by trash fires there...

My friend sold wallstreet.com for $1.03 Million, and all I got was a lousy T-shirt.

My T-shirt said: My friend sold wallstreet.com for $1.03 Million, and all I got was a lousy T-shirt.

100% true.

I can't imagine anyone could have predicted a store that insisted on palm/fingerprint biometrics would meet mistrust and reduced demand.

If they hadn't encrypted everything so you needed a STB on every TV, it would have helped. Pay for cable service, hook up TV, get content. But no, even the local channels ended up be encrypted, so built-in tuners couldn't do shit.

A couple years ago, one of the base security officers in charge of making sure all his SP's/MP's/security guys/whatevers knew where everything (classified) was and how to get there fast... Including the big boys... aka nukes. So naturally to make it fun and interactive to stimulate learning, he dumped all the questions (and answers) into Kahoot, the Norwegian online trivia engine. (Or one similar to it).

My way of saying I'm a little wary of some of these officers using this stuff.

slashdot is awash in skeptics. And not just skeptics, the most closed-minded ones I've seen. I've seen MAGA supporters get better treatment on Reddit than believers in ET's here.

And you outlaw libraries, lest the content inside influences you in any way, and forms opinions that will be similar to what you read or saw. So.. museums, too.

"I have this DMCA-violating software patch that would be illegal for me to share, and nobody else has."

24 hours later:
"I have no idea how that got out there"

Everyone believes Ryan Reynolds about leaking the Deadpool test footage, too.

So did you remove it for all customers, or just accounts that had California in the billing or address fields?

SiriusXM is how I know.

Same thing when I tried to get rid of Sirius the second time. They were billing a soon-to-expire credit card and it was such a pain in the ass to cancel the first time, I just let it expire. They then billed me for "continuity of service" for an extra month and threatened collections on me.

Geez can't you just give the FTC credit on one issue where they're getting it right? It's shocking this is happening under a R administration as it is.

You mention Paypal specifically, but as far as CC's and checking account billing:

FTA:

Consumers who try to cancel their memberships by stopping charges to their bank or credit card find they are rebilled, often under new account numbers.
