I had an extension that did that as well. I reported it to Amazon and left a 1 star review warning other users.

Don't worry about not being good at soccer - I've been playing my whole life and I'm still not very good ;) Great exercise though.

Based on what everyone else says, it's probably sample size. The number of people we have who buy something with their own card and then chargeback is pretty small for us (and it's usually in error).

Many retailers don't take Amex because they charge higher fees, not because they are consumer friendly (which they are). In my experience, Amex is more likely to respond to a merchant presenting evidence that a chargeback is unwarrante

Experience as a merchant. If we give Amex reasonable evidence that merchandise was received and a chargeback is unwarranted, there is a chance they will find in our favor, whereas Visa/Mastercard take the consumer's side almost un

Amex is also in general more likely to side with a merchant than Visa/Mastercard, who pretty much never do.

The goal isn't to do immediate mode, it's to implement UI in the simplest manner possible. Throwing away the DOM and reimplementing significant parts of its functionality in Canvas doesn't make life simpler.

It was part of the merchant services agreement - e.g. if you want to accept Visa, you have to accept all Visa.

Even if you can manage to implement a system where everyone trusts the deal, you still have the problem of collusion between players. You can avoid collusion by only playing heads up (2 players), but then you have the problem that there is

Mental poker is a neat thought exercise, but if one of the parties drops out mid-hand, it can't be completed. If there are connectivity issues or if someone doesn't like the flop that's a huge problem.

70k is pretty big, especially given it needs jquery, underscore and backbone as well. Knockout and Ractive each give you much the same thing at only 40k and 32k and without the dependencies.

Yes, but the same is true of Knockout - it has no server-side ajax functionality. I'm looking at the code on the example pages and it's solving essentially the same problem as Knockout (there's even a shout out to Knockout on

That looks pretty similar to Knockout - I don't think you can really claim that one is a library and the other a framework.

So for something like "fraudsters don't use capital letters," does your system discover a fact like this automatically, or do I have to think up these indicators myself and hope they are relevant?

Yes it is. ControlPersist was introduced in openssh 5.6. Centos 6 ships with a patched version of 5.3.
