It was first released in 2011 and by 2017 it was one of the largest standalone messaging apps by monthly active users , with over 938 million active users .

neg: Telephone card A telephone card , calling card or phonecard for short , is a credit card size plastic or paper card , used to pay for telephone services ( often international or long distance calling ) . It is not necessary to have the physical card except with a stored-value system ; knowledge of the access telephone number to dial and the PIN is sufficient . Standard cards which can be purchased and used without any sort of account facility give a fixed amount of credit and are discarded when used up ; rechargeable cards can be topped up , or collect payment in arrears . The system for payment and the way in which the card is used to place a telephone call vary from card to card .   Calling cards usually come equipped with PIN for user protection and security . Most companies require user to enter the PIN before granting access to the calling card 's funds . PINs often are printed on a piece of paper found inside the calling card 's packaging . Once the users makes their first call , some companies offer the option of eliminating the PIN altogether to speed up the calling process . Companies that sell virtual calling cards online typically PIN via email .

neg: Transaction verification Transaction verification is the generic term to describe the Internet-based security method of verifying that the actual content of a transaction has not been altered by the fraudulent techniques known as Man-in-the-Middle ( MitM ) and Man-in-the-Browser ( MitB ) . This form of transaction protection is alternatively known as Transaction Intent Verification ( TIV ) . Transaction Verification must utilise either Out-of-band technology ( the use of two separate channels ) or an independent signing device , e.g. a programmable card-reader , capable of having transactional information re-keyed into it in order to create a code cryptographically linked to the underlying transaction detail .   Transaction Verification should not be confused with Transaction authentication , which is simply a method of authenticating the identity of a user at the transaction level ; transaction authentication does not include the verification of the integrity of the transaction content .   One effective way to perform Transaction Verification in a mass usage environment is to replay the transaction details to the user by placing a real-time , automated call to the user before the transaction is committed , or to send these details in SMS with a confirmation code .

neg: Reverse SMS billing Reverse SMS billing or premium SMS service means that the user of the recipient phone rather than the message sender is charged for the cost of the SMS message received . It is also called MT ( Mobile Terminated ) Billing . Reverse-billed SMS messages are only sent if specifically requested by the phone user ; however , many unscrupulous operators will send reverse-charged messages without prior consent of the recipient , which often go un-noticed by users on Pay As You Go plans without itemised billing . The consent may also be hidden in the fine print of an advertisement . A daily weather alert is an example of a service where regular reverse-billed messages are received .   In some countries , providers are required by law or regulation to provide a means of opting out of a service once it has been commenced . Most typically , this is achieved by sending a stop message ( most typically , simply STOP ) to the same number as the service itself .

neg: Acceptance credit An acceptance credit is a type of letter of credit that is paid by a time draft authorizing payment on or after a specific date , if the terms of the letter of credit have been complied with . There are two types of acceptance credit , confirmed and unconfirmed . Unconfirmed acceptance credit means that the seller takes the risk that payment will not be made , due to any number of contingencies such as shipment non-delivery , confiscation by customs authorities , or any other problems . Confirmed acceptance credit means that the bank upon which the credit has been issued , essentially guarantees payment as long as the terms of the letter of credit have been complied with .   Confirmed acceptance credit is more expensive to establish than unconfirmed acceptance credit because the issuing bank is effectively guaranteeing payment . It also transfers the risk of non-delivery to the recipient , because once the seller places the product in the hands of the shipping company , the seller has complied and will be paid ; if the shipment does not arrive , is delayed , or other problems occur , the buyer can not stop payment or otherwise prevent redemption of the acceptance credit .   Banks may also create an acceptance credit facility allowing a company to issue time drafts not linked to specific shipments in order to provide general working capital finance . Under the arrangement the issuing company presents bills of exchange to the bank for acceptance , confirmation and sale at a discount to face value ( representing the finance cost until maturity ) . The discounted sum is made available to the issuing company until the bill 's maturity when it is obliged to repay the bill 's full face value to the bank . The process may then be repeated to provide a so-called rolling facility . While popular in the pre-electronic era , such facilities have since been widely replaced by financing arrangements which do not require the issue of paper .

neg: Value-added tax A value-added tax ( VAT ) , known in some countries as a goods and services tax ( GST ) , is a type of general consumption tax that is collected incrementally , based on the surplus value , added to the price on the work at each stage of production , which is usually implemented as a destination-based tax , where the tax rate is based on the location of the customer . VATs raise about a fifth of total tax revenues both worldwide and among the members of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development ( OECD ) . As of 2014 , 160 of the world 's approximately 193 countries employ a VAT , including all OECD members except the United States .   There are two main methods of calculating VAT : the credit-invoice or invoice-based method and the subtraction or accounts-based method . Using the credit-invoice method , sales transactions are taxed , with the customer informed of the VAT on the transaction , and businesses may receive a credit for VAT paid on input materials and services . The credit-invoice method is the most widely employed method , used by all national VATs except for Japan . Using the subtraction method , at the end of a reporting period , a business calculates the value of all taxable sales then subtracts the sum of all taxable purchases and the VAT rate is applied to the difference . The subtraction method VAT is currently only used by Japan , although subtraction method VATs , often using the name `` flat tax '' , have been part of many recent tax reform proposals by US politicians . With both methods , there are exceptions in the calculation method for certain goods and transactions , created for either pragmatic collection reasons or to counter tax fraud and evasion .

Banks and credit institutions who issue these cards often pair EC debit cards with Maestro functionality . These combined cards , recognizable by an additional Maestro logo , are referred to as `` EC/Maestro cards '' .

neg: Online transaction processing Online transaction processing ( OLTP ) is a class of information systems that facilitate and manage transaction-oriented applications , typically for data entry and retrieval transaction processing on a database management system .   The term is somewhat ambiguous ; some understand a `` transaction '' in the context of computer or database transactions , while others ( such as the Transaction Processing Performance Council ) define it in terms of business or commercial transactions . OLTP has also been used to refer to processing in which the system responds immediately to user requests . An automated teller machine ( ATM ) for a bank is an example of a commercial transaction processing application . Online transaction processing applications are high throughput and insert or update-intensive in database management . These applications are used concurrently by hundreds of users . The key goals of OLTP applications are availability , speed , concurrency and recoverability . Reduced paper trails and the faster , more accurate forecast for revenues and expenses are both examples of how OLTP makes things simpler for businesses . However , like many modern online information technology solutions , some systems require offline maintenance , which further affects the cost -- benefit analysis of on line transaction processing system .   OLTP is typically contrasted to OLAP ( online analytical processing ) , which is generally characterized by much more complex queries , in a smaller volume , for the purpose of business intelligence or reporting rather than to process transactions . Whereas OLTP systems process all kinds of queries ( read , insert , update and delete ) , OLAP is generally optimized for read only and might not even support other kinds of queries .

It is a first-person shooter for PC , PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 , developed by 3D Realms , Triptych Games , Gearbox Software and Piranha Games . It is a sequel to the 1996 game Duke Nukem 3D , as part of the long-running Duke Nukem video game series . Intended to be groundbreaking , Duke Nukem Forever has become infamous in the video games industry and was considered vaporware due to its severely protracted development schedule ; the game had been in development under 3D Realms since 1996 . Director George Broussard , one of the creators of the original Duke Nukem game , first announced the title 's development in April 1997 , and promotional information for the game was released in one form or another from 1997 until its release in 2011 .   After repeatedly announcing and deferring release dates , 3D Realms announced in 2001 that it would be released simply `` when it 's done '' . In May 2009 , 3D Realms was downsized for financial reasons , resulting in the loss of the game 's development team . Statements by the company indicated that the project was due to `` go gold '' soon with pictures of final development . Take-Two Interactive , which owns the publishing rights to the game , filed a lawsuit in 2009 against 3D Realms over their `` failure to finish development '' . 3D Realms retorted that Take-Two 's legal interest in the game is limited to their publishing right . The case was settled with prejudice and details undisclosed in May 2010 . On September 3 , 2010 , 14 years after the start of the development , Duke Nukem Forever was officially reported by 2K Games to be in development at Gearbox Software , with an expected release date of 2011 .

This was however delayed by a month to June 10 internationally with a North American release on June 14 . Duke Nukem Forever was finally released after 15 years of development on June 10 , 2011 , to mostly negative reviews .

neg: Pokémon Apokélypse Pokémon Apokélypse is a 2010 fan-made short film directed by Kial Natale and produced by Dylan Innes and Lee Majdoub . Based on the Pokémon franchise , the storyline takes place several years after the events of the original anime series . Intended as a fan-response to `` the common trend of ` dark and gritty ' reboots of popular franchises '' , the film was meant to give a mature spin on Pokémon and be in the same vein as work seen on parody website CollegeHumor . The creators initially intended to reveal the film at the Vancouver Anime Evolution convention , it was not shown due to technical difficulties . Instead on September 14 , 2010 , it revealed online via a teaser segment distributed through emails sent to various media outlets , which presented itself as a recording of a `` secret movie trailer screening '' for a film in development . The full film followed shortly thereafter , posted online on September 20 .   The result of almost two years of work , the film follows Ash Ketchum and his friends years after the events of the original anime series , and their struggle against criminal organization Rocket Industries . Deciding on using the subject of Pokémon after considering several possibilities such as Grand Theft Auto and Dragon Ball Z , the producers were surprised by fan reaction to the material . Despite praises for the content , they have stated they have no intention to produce a full-fledged film .   The initial `` leaked '' preview was met with skepticism and criticism , with Crave Online in particular recalling the trend of past video game-inspired films being of poor quality . Kotaku and Topless Robot in particular noting that the preview did it a disservice by hiding the charm of the completed project , which by comparison was met with very positive reception . GamesRadar called it `` amazing '' , and stated that the content was `` good enough for grown ups '' ; in a further discussion , they added they were impressed by the quality of the work , and how it addressed the similarity between the games and dog fighting . Other sources such as The Escapist and Game Informer also heavily praised the production , with the former lamenting that such a concept would never officially appear from Nintendo .

neg: Super Smash Bros. Super Smash Bros. is a series of crossover fighting games published by Nintendo , that primarily features characters from franchises established on its systems . All five games have been directed by Masahiro Sakurai .
