The transaction is ‘card not present’, same as if you were buying something online. The ‘card not present’ means the merchant is risking easy chargeback – if there is no signature you can call the card issuer, tell them you did not make the transaction and they will charge it back for you.

The processors allow merchants to charge with card number and expiration only, but it usually costs more and the risk is higher. They ask you for address, but the address verification system (AVS) cares about the numeric part only, i.e. the street number and the zip code. The textual part is irrelevant (merchants might have additional layer of protection where street name and number are matched against the zip code, but that is not common).

Is it constitutional for the government to dictate a limit on how many products a private company can sell or how many private companies providing those products can exist?[/quote]

Does not that happen all the time? All kinds of quotas are being enforced.

This sounds like political pamphlet. Significant? Grossly? No dispute?

[quote=spdrun]The good thing is that the jobs report today wasn’t stronger than expected, and participation is still at a 36 year low. Meaning no strong economic growth/inflation/fellation yet.[/quote]

I agree. The fact that more people could not get a job and the absence of strong economic growth should be celebrated. Hippity hip…

Girl stabbed 19 times

She could have defended herself with a gun, which she did not have. Then again, she likely would not survive 19 bullet wounds.

I don’t get it. If that is a side project he should not be working on it (i.e. contacting you) during business hours. And if it is not a side project someone likely made a mistake assigning the task to your coworker.

Is that a neighbor’s kid or a coworker?

[quote=flu]If you have iOS experience, I’d like to pick your mind.

Specifically, I’d like to know if it’s possible to listen for media change events from the iTunes player and sending them to a background service of some sort….

(Pardon the iOS stupidity. It’s not usually my cup of tea)….[/quote]

That is not possible.

My assumption was a cigarette butt thrown by a construction worker there.

[quote=flu]disgusting yes… but equally disgusting is his mistress.

Side question: as disgusting as this person’s viewpoint is…I’m curious, what’s up with the tape recording of a conversation without consent?[/quote]

A coworker of mine ‘bugged’ his own house during the open house event. He used what he learned to make adjustments for the next showing and also during negotiations.

I am a software configuration manager / release engineer, not a developer.
Basically I am in charge of the code repository in a software organization. I take care of the builds, manage the releases to production etc. It is more of a support role.[/quote]

Mr. Jenkins, is that you?
