  - Yeah, Black Adam was made for him. If he was Cap I can not imagine there would be a Black Adam. -- nm - Spawn Lord Jul 21, 17:46 3
    - I think he'd be fine as Shazam. but he's totally Black Adam -- nm - Remlik Jul 21, 17:48 2

- visit home? Bah. Google streetview it. Onward and upward. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 21, 16:30
- first google how to buy them. one or 2 days a week the airlines drop prices. then go to travelocity to see who has the best fares & times. hopefully - peglegpete Jul 21, 16:27 1
  - I think I still have clothes at home. I wonder if I could go with just what I have in my pockets and beat Spirit at their own game. -- nm - Qale Jul 21, 16:40

      - I can believe how ignorant this guy is, but it still makes me sad. - loosi at home Jul 21, 16:49 6

        I weep for the collective ignorance of their children. -- nm - loosi at home Jul 21, 16:51 4

  - Apart from the claim of more secure encryption I really don't see any benefit ? -- nm - Meg Jul 21, 15:55 10
    - I think it just makes it harder to clone the card (but without pins, not impossible, IIRC) -- nm - Beryllium Jul 21, 16:29 9
      - It does except for it still has to have the mag stripe, which really kind of defeats the purpose. - spamlet Jul 21, 17:11 2
        
        Man, tap to pay will just blow yours guys' frigging minds - Reagen Jul 21, 17:25 1
        
        They'll take our unsecure mag stripe from our cold, dead hands! - spamlet Jul 21, 17:42
      - And now you have to leave the card in the reader until it processes and still sign for it..... - Meg Jul 21, 16:40 5
        
        still sign? Ick. Half the time I can just tap it and go. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 21, 16:44 4
        
        Yes, I was stuck signing in Europe without PIN capability. -- nm - spamlet Jul 21, 17:10 3
        
        as of August 1 you won't be able to sign in Australia. PIN only. - mafic Jul 21, 17:19 2
        
        My card has PIN capabilities (I used it in the train station) but default to sig if that was available. - spamlet Jul 21, 17:25
        
        And really, electronic signatures are a joke - I don't know how anyone could prove or disprove them. -- nm - Meg Jul 21, 17:23
- Target. -- nm - Qale Jul 21, 15:20
