Canada still leads in debit card transactions:
US is not that far behind. Italians spend more per transaction..
Early: So is it still her room when it's empty? Does the room, the thing, have purpose? Or do we -- what's the word? Simon: I really can't help you. Early: The plan is to take your sister. Get the reward, which is substantial. 'Imbue.' That's the word.

Yeah, much to my mother's horror, I haven't sat down and balanced my checking account for close to 10 years.
I use my debit card for most purchases, except now I am using a miles card instead and then paying one big bill to them each month.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I could also interpret Sue's sign as "If you look on top of the cabinet, you will be so dreadfully surprised that blood will spurt out of your head." (Or maybe I've been watching too many horror movies.)
IOW, "Beware the top-of-the-cabinet monster!"

Totally pole through the head.
I showed it to chatty!co-worker, and he said it looks like Pinocchio looking up at a box.

Where are you getting the Tour de France updates?
Today, it's at [link] -- stupidly enough, the URL changes for each stage, but if you go to letour.fr and pick "English version" on the front page, you'll get what's happening that day.
If you have a Mac with Tiger, there's a Tour de France widget. IJS.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
(another reason to want Tiger. dammit.)

Canada was ahead in debit card purchasing, IIRC, since I used it before I left in 93, but it didn't pick up in MI until some time after I got there.
Late 80s, even. It was all over Ontario, anyway. It definitely took a while longer to catch up in the States.

The simplest widgets are just HTML and Javascript (and maybe some XML). So it seems to me that simple widgets should also run in Windows, either in a browser window (widgets can run in a browser window on the Mac) or as an Active Desktop thingie.
I've never tried this, though.
eta: come to think of it, many widgets use an OS X graphic API call (or something) to draw the graphic portion of a widget....
Yes, I know this should be in Tech....
