Yes it does. Because it falls under the category of credit card fraud, I will get it all back, but it's a pain to go through in the meantime.

And from the news last nite, for you folks attending PaizoCon, Seattle ranks #1 in the US for cyber crimes. So, guard thy passwords and portals!

WOw. I'm sorry for your bad day, CH...I hope you're able to recoup at least some of your lost funds. That's a REAL pisser. I'm in NY too, so here's Brooklyn hoping your partner makes it in time so that there are bumps in his career. I hate having to take tests ill, that's part of the reason why college was horrid for me. I also hope you get to eat soon, And Solnes, I'd gladly give you some of my leftover salmon with spinach and cheese tortellini but the computer screen is not letting me pass it to you!
I'm off for now though folks. While today didn't suck for me, it was certainly a busy day at the office. I'm off to go enjoy a night of miffed wife doing laundry!

I'm thinking since I was travelling, it may have been some disreputable merchant at an airport or other travel-related venue, who sold a bunch of credit card numbers overseas, knowing that people travelling will be slower to catch things. They would be right - my bank caught it, not me.

Thanks. Also, I'd love to see a picture of your monitor after you tried to pass tortellini through it.

Having money stolen really sucks. Although it is taking some time, will you be able to recover the money eventually?

Yes. Since my PIN was never comprimised, the fraudulent transactions were all credit card purchases. By law, fraudulent credit card purchases are a liability for the card issuer, not the card holder. I'll get it back, but it's requiring some financial wrangling in the meantime.

So, there's this magic "like" button on FB. There have been times that I've seen things like "14 people like this". The problem is, what exactly does that mean? If the status is something like "I had a bad day today" or "the healthcare bill is lame" and then someone clicks that they "like" that -- what does that mean? You like that they had a bad day? You like the healthcare bill? You like that the healthcare bill is lame? What does that mean?
I think that in the end it means that people are too lazy to actually write what they are thinking.

Yeah. I'm careful only to "like" the things I like.

A mexican taco is one of the culinary wonders of the world. You haven't truly had one until you eat at a chain called Los Olivos.
