Credit and debit cards have raised numbers, because the old machines used to run them took an imprint of those numbers.

They can still be processed this way if the place you work uses them as an offline backup :eng101:

However, it took me longer than I'd like to admit that "pos" stood for point of sales, than piece of poo poo.

My job is to develop POS software and its hard to do it with a straight face most of the time

Isn't it really easy to get hit with those in Europe? I'm probably wrong and misunderstood but didn't Microsoft get hit with it for only including their supported web browser in the windows install?

No, they got hit with it because they started making Windows in a way that wouldn't let you uninstall their browser and would force you to use it in a lot of circumstances where you had already installed another browser. It was anti-competitive.

Imagine four chickens on the edge of a road. Say a direct copy of the chicken nearest the road is sent to the back of the line of chickens and takes the place of the first chicken. The formerly first chicken becomes the second, the second becomes the third, and the fourth walks across the road.

Jokes work the same way.
