Dearest Colorado...I'm a fan, I admit that. This cold weather...the suck. Cut it out. Vespa inoperable, cold bus ride in the AM. BOOO!
@andrewhyde welcome back!
Seeing snow and ice makes me want to be on the fixed gear slip/sliding through a park.
I am the keyboard player in your metal band... :)

Reading the Lydian Payments Journal for November 2009. Quite good so far - http://pymnts.com/journal/
I have to admit to being envious of the .pdf support on the 2nd gen kindle. My poor 1st gen doesn't seem as fun anymore ;)
QOTD: "Daddy, don't step on me, I'm fragile"
2,4,6,8 Homer's crime was very great..."Great" meaning "large" or "immense", We use it in the pejorative sense!
Has anyone read Generation A by Douglas Coupland?
Today, for me, is the definition of "...The best laid schemes o' mice an' men Gang aft a-gley, An' lea'e us nought but grief an' pain..."

"I agree...in part. The reason that what you/I would call hardware is required for PIN Debit transactions is, truly, nothing more than a requirement from processors for keyed firmware. If that requirement wasn't in place, the process of transaction encryption could easily be done "on the wire". I think the bigger issue...and that to which I refer when I speak of hardware vs. software....is the question of "intelligence". It's sort of a poor choice of words, but the best I can come up with at present. The traditional terminal device was "it". The end-all/be-all of acceptance methodologies. Over time, the software based acceptance methods (be they online, hosted, or local) were positioned as value-add for the features they provide. And yet, there is still a benefit (financially) in performing a swiped transaction. So you leverage a USB card swipe. Is that hardware? Yes...but it is hardware in the same fashion that a keyboard is hardware. Hardware, of some sort, is required to run and..." - Tyler Hannan

E2E Encryption Reduces Probability, Not Eliminates Liability - https://www.brandenwilliams.com/blog...
One of the things that Branden Williams always does well is provide simple little statements that sum up my feelings on a topic. In this case, "E2EE (or P2AE) is a great tool to add to your arsenal, but as with everything else in our industry, there is no such thing as a silver bullet (or free lunch)." - Tyler Hannan
Trust Is The New Black (Box) - http://marketingteaparty.com/2009...
This quote: "I don’t dispute that social media holds the potential to help firms build stronger relationships with its customers — and even contribute to the trust that consumers have with the firms (brands) they do business with. But many people are overstating the contribution to trust that social media will make, because they have no understanding of what goes in to building trust, and if there are two steps, twenty steps, or no steps." is perfect. - Tyler Hannan
