I had to re-read that one. I think the article is saying that 2 year maximum is for the copyright infringement offense, which he was not charged with. Conspiracy to defraud carries a longer setence.
Once he had password reset Amazon, he can add other shipping addresses. Amazon does allow you to ship to other addresses, at which point it will be up to the credit card company to block the charge.
Amazon had the exact same flaw as Apple.
Allowing a password reset with last 4 digits and a billing address. The bigger flaw at Amazon was allowing the addition of a credit card with the same identification.
She wasn't all that bad. Not everyone understands what 200 odd meters mean with a given context, thus she felt compelled to ask about it to get a clarification.
He's talking about the mention of "two Republican congressmen."
It's not that they're merged, just that Republicans are given credit for anything good that happens.
As others pointed out, it's 3 seconds per km, or rather about 300 ms per 100m. This is a bit more plausible, though I doubt position 9 is 100 m away. And if this was indeed the case you'd see a gradually decreasing reaction time as you get further away from the source.
When the researchers looked closer, they noticed that every EF-Tu gene did not accumulate mutations. Instead, the modern proteins that interact with the ancient EF-Tu inside of the bacteria had mutated and these mutations were responsible for the rapid adaptation that increased the bacteria’s fitness. In short, the ancient gene has not yet mutated to become more similar to its modern form, but rather, the bacteria found a new evolutionary trajectory to adapt.
People forget that they're paying for roads through taxes. They scream and complain when they have to pay toll. These people aren't the majority but they scream louder than the rest combined.
My wife does digital scrapbooking. She was using a cheapo scrapbooking app, but started to find it too limiting. She started to insist on a purchase of Photoshop, which I resisted. So she got the free trial version, played with it for 30 days and loved it. I asked her to give gimp the same 30 days, and she did. We never did make that Photoshop purchase - she has managed to find gimp tutorials online and even a dead-tree book that has all sorts of hints, tips, and ideas for gimp. Now she does all her scrapbooking in gimp. Maybe I'll be able to sneak a switch over to Gentoo from XP on her box now.:-)
She's no techie, she's artistic. (NOT AUtistic, ARtistic.) Took a bit to get over the learning curve to the point where she was productive, but it wasn't terribly worse than the learning curve for Photoshop.
I would recommend Paint.NET first, as typically one doesn't need all the functionality provided by gimp/photoshop.
I would also like to point out that apparently he just got married, never had family before then, and doesn't own a house. Pulling in that kind of income for nearly $10 years and yet not be able to afford $25k? I don't know where he is blowing $3k+ per month on. Additionally, no where in his blog post does he mention going into debt. Basically, exaggeration done by CNN to make a no story into something midly news worthy.
This guy should be making upwards of $75k, if not nearly $100k+. Yes, after taxes that doesn't leave much, maybe $40-55k. Then after you factor in family, mortgages, all the works, there's potentially nothing left over. But if he's been in the industry for nearly a decade, he better have at least $25k saved up. Setting aside $5k/yr would've already done it, let alone the often recommended 10-20% of your base salary.
The truth is, it's because he picked the dream of family over space.
Sorry if this doesn't sit well with those who make less, but this is his situation, not yours. And $25k should not be putting him in debt.
Apparently being able to manage my finances makes me public enemy #1. I have "so much" disposable income as you put it because I set aside 50% of my salary. That means, when something like this comes up, I can afford it. It may be breaking news, but there are ways to not live off of credit.
$25,000 is a lot of money, but resulting in debt is quite extreme. At the most, maybe a dent in the retirement plan that could be made up within the year. For a childhood dream, or any dream for that matter, I think it's a small price to pay. And yet people wonder why opportunities always pass us by.
Plus, he should've known that he would need to pay taxes. They're nothing new.
I still don't get the point in blurring out sensitive locations from Google Maps, or any map for that matter. The current reality is, if you blur it, it's probably something important. Even if I don't know what it is, I will atleast know that it is something that someone doesn't want seen. The end result is that nothing is prevented, but targets have become easier to identify.
Of course the blurring makes it more difficult in the planning phases of an operation, but any advantages gained isn't really that great. The information is still public domain. Even the complete removal of such information (not possible in this case) does not offer much. In any security system, obfuscating (or in this matter, simply hiding via blurring) information is no security at all.
"...owe $25,000 in taxes. Unwilling to sink into debt..."
If $25,000 puts a software consultant into debt, it's time he looks for another job. But more likely than not, the story is just exaggerated. The issue is more of whether not the trip is worth $25,000 to Emmett.
Whatever you do, do not use RAID 0; especially not with the old drive. Performance gains are non-existent (even raw bandwidth gains are useless) and data loss risk goes up big time.

How am I trolling? I'm explaining to the first Anonymous Coward what SJHillman meant by the parties being official merged.

Not really repair the damage, but work around it.
It's only the uniform that is being tagged and tracked.
Would fixed ROI based regulated pricing increase accessibility and reduce consumer costs?
Using well known Intel tactics.

How are these smart if you have to select the option manually? Not that it's a bad thing.
Smart sunglasses would be like transition lens, which adjust automatically to the amount of UV.

You also forget to note that he is a software consultant.
Looking at the following average pay (national US):
