or a linux thread. I'm trying to install an extension to my bitcoin wallet and it keeps throwing up a line 5 error, no setup.py I believe. But setup.py is installed in linux by default

I've never used PayPal. Not once. I haven't bought anything from Ebay in probably 15 years. So, I don't really care for either enough to have an opinion. Except for that I hate when Apple fanboys get all pissy when another company advertises in the same way Apple has. And, then they give Apple a pass because they think their ad was funny.

I assume you're referring to my reply to you which refutes everything you just said. Your post is supported by nothing I've written in this thread.

They were. Besides the situation 's not the same. Apple and Microsoft were well entrenched and had both been around competing for decades. Apple was just pointing out differences in the two systems for uniformed masses in a humorous way.

Here, Apple rolls out 2 major announcements and within week or so --panic type attack ads are out by companies that have had that market that's being threatened for years. Samsung's is particularly embarrassing cause it all it says is hey, we had this great idea first.

At least Paypal is making an attempt to say our security is better than ApplePay's. Still rushing out attack ads so soon smells of panic.

Each package has its own setup.py

The PayPal angst is weird to me. Use it all the time.

It's a wild world when you're buying "digital services" from random people all over the globe. Expecting them to take the hit for poor buying decisions seems a little much to me.

Everyone loves PayPal until they get fricked. That is the bottom line. I'm sure you're mostly a buyer and therefore less likely to get fricked.
