Googling should provide plenty of answers to this question, but I'll quote a couple differences here for your convenience: 1. "According to the EFTA, your potential liability for fraudulent debit card transactions is virtually unl

I don't think you answered my question. I'm trying to say that people use credit cards even when they have the money and aren't going into any kind of debt.

Do you think your advice generalizes though? Do you really think most people who have a credit card go into debt because of it?

Would you mind elaborating a bit? What's the exact functionality that's required? Is it like notification support for file modification or something?

Oh, I didn't realize that! Thanks for the clarification!

To be honest Paint.NET fails on all counts, many because of the .NET aspect: - It starts up in what I'm eyeballing to be around 750ms on my computer, which is I guess common these days, but nothing like Paint (which looks practically i

This is awful. I use Paint all the time. Anyone know of a comparable alternative? (I mean that starts up in a blink, that my grandma could use, and that can do more or less everything Paint can. Very much preferably not depending on frame

Dude, put down your guns and chill out a bit? When you said "obtaining rocket fuel on a given rocky planet" and "springboard to the wider universe" I naturally assumed you meant launching a rocket from Venus's surfa

It's not really about budgeting or tracking your expenses, rather it's about (1) making it easier to search for the exact amount and having the payment pop up (e.g. in one shot in your email inbox, in some cases) when others ask y

Addendum: One useful thing I've found about reimbursing (note: NOT splitting, which is what you were talking about) some other bills down to the penny is that it makes it much easier to search for them afterward if you want to figure o

I would love to know too, though I wouldn't be surprised if the genuine answer is that most of it can't really be put into words.

How do you just "deploy extra capacity"? Do they install new antennas just for an event?

This is awesome. The one question on my mind is: is there really no barrier to doing this, like regulation of some kind? I would imagine there's an added fire risk with that kind of battery at home?

> the national parks are almost fully funded by the people that visit them. Source on this? I feel like if this was already the case then the issue of cutting national park funding wouldn't be such a big deal, and yet it is.

I agree with you entirely about the success but I don't think that implies a lack of a failure. Yes, the entire point of a park is for people to visit, and I love that people are doing that, but "visiting" a public place is n
