I never said they did?

Lichen are part fungi though, and part algae.

It's a false dichotomy, pure and simple. They try to frame it in a way to make their invasion of your privacy seem as if it's in your best interest, even though the opposite is true. Typical fascist rhetoric.

But what will Hell be known for then?

Norway already has the BankAxept system in wide use. It is mainly used with debit cards though, as far as I know, not credit cards. The fees for using BankAxept are lower than Visa/Mastercard for the merchants, and most debit cards from Norwegian banks have a combination of Visa/Mastercard and BankAxept functionality included. Most merchant terminals are set up to prefer the latter tech, falling back to Visa/MC if the card isn't BankAxept equipped.

So some of the tech is already there.

Secondly, I might be wrong but I don't think the Norwegian government gives the Nobel prizes, an organization based in Norway does

Correct. The Nobel Peace Prize is awarded by The Norwegian Nobel Commitee, not the government. The committee consists of members appointed by the Norwegian Parliament – again, not the goverment. The commitee thus a private body, and the government has absolutely no say in their selection of the recipient.

Ah, the classic ad hominem, the mark of someone who has absolutely no problem backing up their bold claims with arguments, not just feelings! I wouldn't touch your products even if I got paid to do so, given your attitude in this thread alone.

But we can't all live in mom and dad's basement pretending we know what we're talking about, can we?

That's rich coming from someone who is confidently incorrect about how basic software licensing works...

Couldn't you rather provide the name of your company, so we know what software we should steer clear of?
