"Topic is tired and needs a nap." - Tosa Inu
I'm aware of the facts that it is a pilot project so far, but considering the speed with which modern technologies come tearing into our world, it's not gonna take them long to actually start mass production of the technology in question. My bet is five years.
I'm also aware of that. But, again, using your body as a payment means is a common thing for both, so fingerprints are the first step. Then they are gonna tell you that one can't store and use all the necessary information via fingerprint technology and ask you if you would like to get rid of any troubles accompanying carrying objects representing money outside your body? Guess what they would offer if you answer yes.
What a question? and from an IT trained person.
The waiter comes to the table with a portable terminal. The sum for the meal is displayed. You press Ok and you have the option to change the total amount. You round it up to about 10 -15% more than the stated amount and it is credited the waiter as tips.

I like cash. It lets you buy weed without electronic fingerprints
According to our terrorist profiling poster at my job. Anyone who pays with cash or wishes to use a moniker is in league withal qaedaISIS. Those unamerican, pot smoking, jesus hating, communist, fascist nazis will get whats coming to them for not using credit cards like a good decent american would

And this is why Norway is considered to be one of the most expensive countries for living. Banks simply include a certain percentage for servicing their credit cards into the price of goods.
What about hotel bellboys and maids? Or are their uniforms designed so that terminals are parts of them? And what about resort facilities staff? Oops, how silly of me, there aren't any beaches in Norway. Or are there? Still, the imagination draws a picture of Pamela Anderson rushing to save me with a terminal bouncing up and down upon her belt... Well, to tell the truth, it is not the terminal whose bouncing comes first into the picture.

I don't understand why people have such a problem with credit cards. If you pay off the balance at the end of the month, interest does no even come into play.

Business as usual in Finland as well. One question though. Why pick up a whopper via phone app and move your lazy butt to a restaurant to pick it up, when one can simply order many kinds of dishes from restaurants via internet, pay them using net bank and get the goods delivered to ones home?

As long as one has doubts one is still able to think critically and be ready to correct oneself in case of a mistake. So do have doubts, as have had military training lessons at school (where they taught me handling AK-what's it number and some kind of rifle) and later while already working at the factory I attended military training camp (for two weeks) where I continued my acquaintance with weapons. I can't deny, though, that my dating weapons was brief and can't boast great mastery of them. Yet, I am a peaceful person, if what you meant by your attempt to hurt me, but I don't know why I should be ashamed of it.
As for being a nationalist, I thought I've had this out elsewhere. Yet I may repeat it in this thread as well: a nationalist is a person who hates other nations, a patriot is the one who loves his own. Feel the difference.
I don't understand your irony (if irony it was) in regard of "a manly man". I certainly do quite a lot of walking daily and never order anything via internet, but again I don't see why I should be ashamed of it.
Generally speaking, you have mistakingly considered my post as a personal insult,so let me be more explicit: every "you" used in it didn't mean "you Kagemusha". It was an impersonal usage. Perhaps I should have used "one" instead of "you", so I apologize if your sharpness was caused by misinterpreting my post in view of its possible double reading. If you have other reasons for making the comment you made, feel free to disregard the apology.
