  3. Outsourcing woes, again on Fake ATM Fraud Expose · · Score: 1
    Unhappy to cut-off teller jobs with ATMs, bank now are cutting-off ATMs to independent operators, who charge an arm-and-a-leg in services fee (in addition to the self-cleaning bank accounts we all enjoy).

    The sheer number of independent non-bank ATM operators make it all but impossible for the public to know whether he is using a legitimate ATM or not.

    Eventually, if the banks do nothing to address this problem, their credibility will be so eroded that no one will trust ATMs any more.

    chopping of the user's genitals and hanging them on the door as a warning to others is the correct thing to do.
    Not a good idea. You can only LART thusly once, as genitals don't sprout back.

    Here is a much better way of doing it, which can be repeated as often as possible.

  12. Re:What a joke on Japanese Train Sets A Speed Record Of 581 kph · · Score: 1
    The reason why the TGV goes only up to 320 km/h in revenue service is that the extra energy expenditure is not worth the expense in return for the time gain.

    Furthermore, the maglev is utterly incompatible with the existing railroad network, whereas the TGV can leave the high-speed line and reach it's final destination at lower speed on the conventionnal rail network, thus greatly expanding the usefulness of the rail network.

    30 years ago, France took a hard look at high-speed rail -versus- air-cusion trains and wisely chose to go the conventional way.

    What a friggin joke. Years and years and years to develop a totally radically different technology, only to attain a paltry 581 km/h, a mere 66 km/h above perfectly conventionnal souped-up 200 year-old technogy (the steam locomotive was invented 200 years ago).

    Surface Maglev has no future; the speed increase over conventionnal rail IS NOT WORTH IT for the added expense in relation to the time gained.

    Maglev could have some chances in an evacuated tunnel, but the horrenduous infrastructure costs will see that it will not see the light of day...

    I personally don't mind when people tailgate me unless i am boxed in on all sides. If i can do so, i just get out of the way. If there's nothing i can do about the lane position i am in, then tail gating me serves little point.

    Living dangerously, eh??? ;)

    If you've got an ass-sniffer, just slow down. Either he will pass you, or he stays there. If he does, you'll have more reaction distance in case of anything happens on the road, and he will be less likely to buttfuck your car.

    When I had a motorcycle, many moons ago, I fixed ass-sniffers the easy way: I had adjusted my front brake handle to be able to light-up the brake light without actually applying the brakes. So, whenever I had an ass-sniffer, I just had a flick of the switch.

    Best time was when I heard the ass-sniffer screech his tires, only to be rear-ended by another ass-sniffer who, this time, got a real piece of ass!!!

    He said software companies were working with the authorities on the problem, but the police were more concerned about controlling pornography.
    If, indeed, the police are treating this issue as secondary to illegal pornography, then I would say they are on the right track.
    Not that I am against pr0n as such, but a lot of human suffering goes into producing much of it, especially much of the cheap, street quality stuff. Most of the characters are drugged/coerced into performing by their overlords, any many do it out of necessity, in order to get their square meals. Most of them are prostitutes, who were forced in by pimps/etc.
    Muchos bullshitos, gringo.

    What is more likely is that all this pr0n is simply not wanted by the mullahs who don't want to lose their grip on the people, just like the southern baptists assholes* do in the US. Hence it's illegality.

    I mean, I have plenty of pr0n, and whenever I feel horny, I fire-up my pirated copy of ACDsee, I whip-out my boner and I whack it off - so far today, I have whacked-off three times, including once at work - it's good to have my pr0n avilable through HTTP...

    This way, I am not enslaved to some dumb chick's moods, I get my orgasms whenever **I** want them, thus freeing my evenings for coding or browsing Slashdot.

    * Please do not see this as disparagement against the southern baptists only. It is meant to be disparaging to **ALL** religions, perhaps a little bit more for the christian ones.
