Heading out on a trip a little while back we asked our credit card company if we needed to notify them.

The response was we only needed to notify them if we were heading to the U.S. because it is just about the last place on earth that still uses magstripe credit cards.

A guy I worked for years ago with seeing people with "will work for food" signs on the side of the road in California said.

"America is a third world country. They just don't know it yet".

Modern Magstripe hacking & more.

They're using iron oxide not ammonium dichromate as I related in an earlier
post but; refunding to a different credit card than the original one
charged. Can't wait to see how this one turns out.

Does everything old become new again and if so how quickly does that happen?
When it comes to computers I'm thinking somewhere between 5 and 10 years.
In regards to a lot of other areas its seems like the head shift every
25 to 30 some years
means that there is a lot of redoing because that research, from the
early part of
the previous cycle, has been forgotten!
