So when I got some people at the local home depot to help me move at $160 for the day (6 hours) then they used ssn, dl and tax forms? The reality is that there is no one way to stop anything.
SS theft is just that, theft. For the most part, just so you KNOW, most if not all people who "steal" SSN always contribute to the SSN owners contributions, but they can never claim it. It also amazes me that a lot of people even pay taxes on their fake SSN's.
And you know what? To be honest, I prefer to have a person using a "stolen" SSN to actually do some work than have legal's mooching at home because they don't want to work. Lets compare some things:
Undocumented resident: steals ssn to get a 'legal paying job'
documented resident: stays at home because ssn gets welfare or other social source of income
UR:faces getting caught by police check points or immigration sweeps at their low paying jobs
DR: faces long lines at social offices
UR:Will establish a family or take care of family back home and encourage to get ahead in life due to opportunities.
DR: Will kick kids out at 18, may or may not encourage kids to get higher education, kids take for granted what they have.
Eventually as the years pass by and "undocumented" persons are given the chance to become "documented" they'll get their own SSN and be able to base their life around that. And having worked in several banks, sometimes as an employee and others as a contractor, believe me that a SSN alone is not going to get someone a loan for a $200,000 house that they couldn't repay.
American teenagers? If you live in the southwest, they were never working the fields because they weren't native to the land. You have a pretty good mix of people who aren't "American" (white). Now if you really want to get down to it, that was JUST the SW. The rest of the country had slaves doing the work.
The biggest problem is trying to pretend we're greater than what we are. Most people don't want to break their back in 100 degree weather. That's why most rather not work than work at a fast food joint. And guess who is willing to do that? People who need money to survive, not a kid who wants to save up for a car, especially not an "American teenager" who's had it easy.
I agree, they are niche players and that consumers don't "do what we do." But they always say "I wish we could do this/that..." They unknowingly can, but don't care enough to look into it.
While in an ER a while back someone saw my HTC titan and recommended me a site I already visit. I thought that was awesome because although they didn't know what I used the phone for, had I not know about the site before I would now have access to full customize my phone and it's OS. That's the way it should be - at least have options.
yeah just like the name iPhone - how quickly people forget that ass jobs presented the product before having rights to the name. "It's been worked out." When the cisco rep was ON SITE and said, no we haven't!
why is that being a troll? What I read in thew LA Times article was something along the lines of Jobs saying "... they should invent their own technologies..." Isn't that what apple did? Copy someone else's technology? Forgive me if I'm wrong, but they now base their PC and mobile platform off of technology copied/reproduced by other original authors.
The apple was/is a software/hardware technology based on the "IBM" architecture right? Linux, which was meant to be a unix-like and free OS was based on UNIX, later FreeBSD 'evolved' from UNIX and is now the base of OS X. Once again, I might be wrong somewhere in there but if i'm not, how difficult is it for everyone else to just accept this from apple?
That's why i always go out of my way to explain what people will face when dealing with apple. And I'm proud to say that I've helped introduce FreeBSD properly to my current client and hope to do so for my company as an offering for the services we provide. Why get osx when you can get the real deal?*
* I might have never mentioned it in the past but I actually "learned how to use a 'computer' on an apple" back in the 80's. It was a POS with a green screen that didn't do a whole lot. Maybe 2-3 years later I got my hands on (through my brother) a 286 clone PC that wasn't much better. Things didn't really take off until I jumped on a 386 enhanced clone that had a paint program (neo paint) that ran off of a giant diskette. Even though I had started with apple and have had to use it sparingly over the years (because of clients) it's never been something that has worked for my personal or professional needs. I understand why many people like teachers like it - they don't have the time nor desire to dedicate themselves to learn how everything works or to do really awesome things with it. But for what most people need, which is not much, they've acquiesced to peoples 'wants' and sufficiently "modified" (to put it nicely) how things work.
But that's half the problem right now, people don't know any better so they buy "an iphone that will just work." That's the same people who say "they're tired of windows because it always has problems." The other half of the problem is that they're just cult-level fans who couldn't see anything else no matter how much better it is.
Although I'm all for an "education" it's not what I chose to persue. My problem was with instructors telling me I had to do everything the same way everyone else did. Why? Especially when I had new ways of doing it. (Sometimes better which I later learned they didn't like).
A great example of how this transfers over to the real world is my use of ActionScript in flash. I made some pretty cool things with it - things which weren't its purpose. Aside from ActionScript I've also used flash for basic design - something people laugh at (the idea) but most who see the work don't care what it was designed with but what the finished product is.
But the common misunderstanding people take is that I say we shouldn't learn anything, which is not true. I still chose to learn a lot, just on my own and through reading and that's what I've continued to do. Learning is important, it's just that sometimes people aren't the best way to learn things.
Another point of view by learning things on your own is that you will bang your head for a while trying to figure out simple things, but along the way you'll learn a LOT of other things that are useless at the moment but will later be useful. That's something I pride myself on, being innovative (by using/doing things others would have never thought of using because that was not its intent nor purpose).
Someone posted about growing up a skater and I feel the same way they did, just as you do about breaking in.
Growing up we had no regard for grinding, but as an adult we understand why it's harmful to the environment. Unfortunately that is indeed how life is, no matter how hard you try.
Although there is a huge difference from grinding curbs, breaking in for chips/pop and stealing money from bank accounts.
I did something similar to this! I call it my loot script. It's a script that runs on a usenet program. It initiates the program, logs in, then downloads headers that you specify (group, date range) and creates an index. Then, it searches for what you're looking for (already specified such as release group for smallville). Next it downloads and then rebuilds all your usenet goodies.
I've been wanting to release it but I have to clean up the code first. Also that BSD machine has been moving around quite a bit so I'm pretty sure the files are in some archive now (I haven't used it in a few years since that machine's bios died - I use almost all VM's now yeah!). But now with some new hardware I am looking to dig it up because although I enjoy newsbin, it's a great product that gives me free updates (because I actually paid for it unlike you pirates!) and has awesome features, but more often than not it's slow because of the amount of headers I keep.
I must have missed the news! Although when I did come back to the U.S. early this decade and signed up with an ISP, I noticed they were heavily filtered. So not much more than non-binary groups came through boo!
That's one of the problems with a court system. Things don't always make sense. For example, in my case, I told the judge I would be able to prove certain things were the court to give me permission to obtain certain documents. The judge said "that's up to you to obtain." haha Legally, I can not obtain those as I need the person who the records belong to to give me permission. But say, I obtained them any way I could (say a P.I.) then it wouldn't matter in court, even though they were unlawfully obtained.
So while your argument is sound in theory, it's not applicable. But everyone else who says google also indexes is valid, but guess what? That would make too much sense!
I'm still pushing for the dummy law, in which a judge could request to enact it by stating how the constraint of the law is hindering justice. The reason for the law is because when laws are written, sometimes they can't foresee problems that might arise in the future. And while a judge could interpret a law for true justice, attorneys can appeal in the ruling (which is a good thing) but as long as a technicality of the law permits it, the ruling would be overturned. That is a disgrace as many times (for example) truly bad people get arrested for obvious crimes they've committed yet have to be released because of some technical screw up (not reading of the rights, mistake on paper work etc etc). I don't think letting someone go who just ran over 3 people on purpose because of a screw up makes sense. So the dummy law would be great in that case!
Yes there are a lot of other problems it could create, but well written it could be very useful, such as using "logic" and "true reason" to establish ruling that make sense.
For my buddy who lives in north dakota, where anything @ 0 degrees F or above is considered t-shirt weather, this might work pretty well! Do they make them for full towers?
i got a netbook recently for use in court and i am so impressed with it, I am LOOKING for other reasons to use it. The battery life is OUTSTANDING! It lasted all day all the while playing video and audio. Seriously, it can't get much better than this unless it has a touch screen! (and non stop inet acces). But if android comes along with a $100 price point, I'm in! Just for the "yeah i'll check it out" factor. But my samsung netbook is kickin ass right now.
I recall watching a program about WWII. I don't remember the exact model but it was an american bomber that had mid flight problems on return to an allied base. So it was forced to land in russia, an at the time non-party to the war. So according to the 'rules of war' while the plane safely landed their, they can not be aided (can't get back in the air) nor returned to an involved party to the war.
So what ends up happening, is that there are a "few good russians" who help the crew back to allied territory while running the chance themselves of being caught and punished. But in the mean time, russian engineers were not re-verse engineering the bomber, but "replicating" it. It's really funny because there was so much pressure to finish the task before the plane had to be returned to the U.S. forces, that one of the managers committed suicide because of being behind schedule.
So, they copied it so well, that later when it was looked over by american eyes they noticed that the patch they put on the plane because it took fire while in a previous mission, was even on the copy! So they copied even the imperfections. That's scary.
Finally, I'll agree that the plane itself is not enough to easily make more/similar versions of it. I knew a man for a while who worked on the development for several air craft. And he told me what he ended up doing was working with problem installations. So basically, the plans were there, the parts were there, but putting it all together didn't always go so well. Because as we all learn, the point of view of designers, engineers, manufacturers and assemblers are all different.
Hmm, maybe american car manufacturers can follow their lead! Remove safety restraint systems (air bags and seat belts), speed limiting chips, catalytic converters, even their shitty stock stereos and speakers. And forget about all that fuel injection and electronic computer stuff! Shoot, lets go back to when Ford was still alive. Wooden wheels on a buggy. Forget gas engines, it's all steam powered for me!
Sometimes, going along with the times is easier than fighting it. (Most) People don't like change, and that is pretty well known. So of course if you offer something that's already "complicated" to most people and strip it of all possible f-up's they're going to like it. But that doesn't mean it's better or should be embraced.
For people like myself (who deal in electronic junk) or keep up with the latest technology, give us something that moves forward, not backwards. I don't want a product I can't tweek because 60% of the population doesn't want to be confused by all those USB and wire jacks. One day technology will be to the level of integration where it's like in the movies and it just understands what you want. Right now it's a brute machine that can do what we want, but WE have to possess the skills to maneuver it.
So bury this crappy "pad" and back companies that are doing real good in advancing technology.
Brain power! Just like in that contest for the TSA, which offered up prize money for the best idea for securing air ports, I said forget all the high tech stuff, and spend the money on paying just above decent wages and "security" (rent-a-cops) will actually want to keep from getting fired. Nothing beats an "above decent" human brain (when compared to technology).
So, get a bunch of people filtering spam for us. Who cares if you think it's an invasion of privacy? They don't know who you are and you'll never know who they are. And besides, people already know more about you than you even know! For example, my company is basically a contractor company, so we go places that most people in our line of work just shouldn't be. I have a co-worker who regularly tells me about law suits and patients medical histories they find interesting!
So as long as their only purpose would be to "read for spam" and not "look for illegal activity" it would work!
But then again what do I know?

I completely agree. I once told my friends about an idea I had called "a home server - a server for your home." It could be used for controlling what time the AC or heating kicked in, turns lights on and off, and even opened windows blinds! Of course, the latest technology offered video playing, but it wasn't an easy feat nor practically affordable for anyone who was a professional.
Of course I was laughed at and told "if it was such a good idea, someone would have thought of it and made it by now." So a few years pass by and technology made some awesome advancements. So now we have linux boxes that run your pool at optimum points in time to help you save money, HTPC's and gaming PC's. And that's just what a little reading will get you. The true beauty comes with taking the time to learn the systems more in depth so you can create whatever you please.
I still await amassing enough of a fortune to start my manufacturing plant to create, patent and produce my own designs. But in the mean time I have to fight off those who say "if it was such a great idea, someone would have made it by now..."
I went to a school where we were punished if we took "short cuts across the mall." The reasoning behind it was to "teach us there are no short cuts in life." Has that served everyone well? I doubt it. But they aren't going to be paving that anytime soon even if it would cut crossing the campus anywhere from 50-80%.
why build several $5,000 domestic chore robots that need special tools when you can buy one $20,000 humanoid robot that does all of the shores, need no special tools to clean the toilets, do the dishes, and vacuum the floor except the cheap tools humans already use.
Hopefully, they'll also do the shopping for said tools and supplies and won't go all "no, no, you buy, I no go, you buy..."
Oh I understand it's use perfectly, but for people who have no clue about "security" (deleting cookies that could still contain plain text account info on poorly designs sites) they help people who WANT to get into their accounts.
so, if Chase leaves a cookie with some info in it, that makes me an easier target because now the attacker would know where I bank, as opposed to not requiring it.
And we all know that the weak point is the user, not the login/pass system... because the user will have firstnameLastname for user, and birthdate for pass.
It's a HUGE hassel because everytime I would login it's requesting to send a email or txt msg for a pin # I need to enter, it sucks! But interestingly enough, I have found a workaround that doesn't require me keeping their cookie or requesting a pin # so that's why I haven't contacted them. So as long as that works let everyone else be frustrated.

I went to a school where we were punished if we took "short cuts across the mall." The reasoning behind it was to "teach us there are no short cuts in life." Has that served everyone well? I doubt it. But they aren't going to be paving that anytime soon even if it would cut crossing the campus anywhere from 50-80%.
why build several $5,000 domestic chore robots that need special tools when you can buy one $20,000 humanoid robot that does all of the shores, need no special tools to clean the toilets, do the dishes, and vacuum the floor except the cheap tools humans already use.
Hopefully, they'll also do the shopping for said tools and supplies and won't go all "no, no, you buy, I no go, you buy..."
haha yeah sometimes I get confused sorry! When I hit submit I was like DOH#!@^#!@*
Oh I understand it's use perfectly, but for people who have no clue about "security" (deleting cookies that could still contain plain text account info on poorly designs sites) they help people who WANT to get into their accounts.
so, if Chase leaves a cookie with some info in it, that makes me an easier target because now the attacker would know where I bank, as opposed to not requiring it.
And we all know that the weak point is the user, not the login/pass system... because the user will have firstnameLastname for user, and birthdate for pass.
It's a HUGE hassel because everytime I would login it's requesting to send a email or txt msg for a pin # I need to enter, it sucks! But interestingly enough, I have found a workaround that doesn't require me keeping their cookie or requesting a pin # so that's why I haven't contacted them. So as long as that works let everyone else be frustrated.
