True, however my understanding is that, by contract, debit cards via Visa/Mastercard have the same protections as credit cards. So consumers can submit claims against fraudulent transactions the same way they would via a credit card.

Debit cards can't be used without a PIN number, right? Target indicates that there is no evidence PIN numbers were compromised, so even if the cards got stolen, they're not that useful without brute-forcing the PIN. As such, I wou

I think it's the opposite. With Google's change, the sender can more accurately find out if you've opened the email, since a request to download the image will be made as soon as you open the email. However, what the sender d

I'm using SBT 0.13 on a fairly complex project. Not sure why it wouldn't work for you. What kind of project is it? Any specific frameworks you're using that are causing compilation errors?

What issues are you facing exactly? I've been successfully developing Scala apps since IntelliJ 12 with no issues. It's leaps and bounds better than Eclipse. One thing to note that for sbt-based projects, I recommend generating th

Note that even with the changed default to 'acknowledged', data is not guaranteed to have been written to the journal. So, there is still no full durability in writes (by default) and there is a chance data might be lost (e.g. a m

I've always believed it's time for Apple to embrace running some of their software on other platforms. Not only would it take the competitive advantage away from other companies providing multi-platform products, but it would also

I think that's a bit of a hyperbole. If I'm asked by someone for a recommendation, but I'm not comfortable recommending him/her, chances are I will simply ignore the request. If I do write a recommendation, it will most

That's a really good point. It happened with me a few times, especially while clicking on some search results pointing to Google Groups. Now I'm wondering if any of those were actually phishing attempts, because it's sometimes really easily

I assume the email was in HTML where the link's href was pointing to something different than what the text is. Couldn't gmail easily detect this discrepancy and warn the user that this is potentially a phishing attempt?
