The connectivity issues with the iPhone are not because of the device, its because of the awful AT&T network.
It's interesting you make that claim, because I was using the 3G and the 3GS in the very same apartment, the very same workplace, the very same parks that I used my Samsung Blackjack 2, on the same 3G network, and never had any issues with calls dropping, not getting voicemail, not getting SMSs, data throughput. After I ditched the 3GS, until I picked up the Droid, I went back to using the BJ2, and surprise surprise, same great service. No, the iPhone is a piece of crap phone, and that's a fact. AT&T is fine.
This would apply to someone in the US who your friend asks you to wire the money to, first. That's how a lot of these scams work. You give them your info, they give it to someone in the US who transfers the money into their account, withdraws it, then wires the money overseas, or to some other money mule to wire overseas. I'd read in another article that they use developmentally disabled adults, because they're more honest and competent to make these sorts of transactions.
No, if you'd read the blurb that you just quoted, if you got a Paypal account to use for your work, and your work turned out to be fraudulent, then yes, you would have been presumed to have known.
Do you work for Paypal? Then yes, your hypothetical situation is correct.
Money laundering? Legalize victimless activities and the "money laundering" problem goes away. As do most of the other problems associated with those activities.
What an astute observation. Legalize identity theft, online fraud, and credit card theft, becuase that's what this article is about, and that's where the money mules are an issue. What? The hell you say! You didn't read the article before opening your big mouth and suggesting a moronic solution? I'm shocked! I have grown to expect so much more from Slashdot intellectuals. I'm disappointed.
Don't you realize that most people who post on Craig's List are PhDs and MBAs from Europe and are above the law? It's a fact. Just accept it. This is Slashdot.
Gray lost the phone and in order to save his face he is claiming it was stolen.
He wasn't claiming it was stolen, it was stolen. Picking up a lost item in a restaurant and not turning it in to the management or the police is stealing.
The big news here is that Apple is testing the phone's connectivity outside of their lab, unlike the 2G, 3G, and 3GS. Maybe this one won't suck as a phone? After owning a 3G and 3GS, I discovered that the killer app for a smartphone is being able to make phonecalls. Droid does.
Who said this had any thing to do with his policies? I only said that the president would prefer you get your news from his approved sources, a logical conclusion based on his disapproval of all the clutter that he's complaining about.
I guess having reliable sources for news won't do you much good, because you don't actually read or comprehend well.
He's talking about people mistaking using gadgets for productivity and using only single sources of news rather than actually being productive, thinking for themselves and trying to actually be informed.
Yeah, be informed, but only from the sources that he feels are legitimate. Anybody seeking news from other sources is a whack job, filling their head with paranoid bullshit, that isn't verified by people he agrees with/trusts. Perhaps we should ask him to make a list of approved news sources so that we can avoid dissent^?^?^?^?^? distraction.
Because one person's "frittering" is another person's life-long gratifying, technology advancing, society improving, human race evolving career.
The man's a goddamned smoke screen, a smiling face to charm the masses into trusting their government. If blogging and video games are bullshit, then what does that make him ? Meta-bullshit ?
These "ubiquitous gadgets and information" are the driving force behind humankind's emancipation. We are smarter today than we were thirty years ago (MTV excluded). As much as one group is marathoning toward idiocracy, another is on the path to enlightenment, all thanks to the wealth of information and rapid communication. It's like our minds are turning into a beowulf cluster. Yes, there's a bit of pain in the interconnects, and there's a lot of garbage-in/garbage-out, but to dismiss technology as a "distraction" is akin to declaring "I like being stupid". This is precisely the sort of thing USA-haters thrive on, because we (yes, *I*) see this as the fundamental problem with the world's loudest nation.
If I hadn't already posted on this thread, I'd mod you up.
I used to have my iPhone connected to the company Exchange server, and I thought it was teh awesome. Then it turns out Steve Jobs was lying about the security capabilities of the iPhone so all iPhones were banned from connecting to the company mail server. At first I was completely lost and felt cut off from the world. Shortly thereafter, I realized just how much instant 24/7 access had completely taken over my life.
I'm a programmer at a bank, so I really don't need to be responding to email at 9:00 PM. We do need security, so I don't really blame them for taking a shit on iPhone when the truth about Apple lying about the full device encryption came out.
I can still check my email remotely via the web access when I'm at lunch, but I don't feel like I have to answer every email immediately regardless of the hour. I do miss having my calendar sync to my phone. That would still be pretty useful, I think.
Yeah, they should be nattering away with their friends on Blackberry Messenger rather than Xbox Live. Way more productive. Perhaps someone should point out to him that Xbox Live is an American company and BBM is run by filthy Canucks.
I grow tired of the theorizing that iPad's phenomenal first month sales are par for the course from here on out. Wait for month 2, or 6, or 12 before trying to use this as a predictive indicator, please.
Technically speaking, they sold hundreds of thousands the first day, as compared to zero the day before, which shows a growth rate of infinity! Wow.
I'm sure that Xbox looks totally sweet sitting there on your nightstand with its monitor. It's totally the exact same thing as the Squeezebox only way cheaper, without the monitor.
It cracks me up when scientists get all pissy when they come into contact with the real world outside of their ivory towers. They bitch and moan about their own inability to communicate with the populace at large, all the while preaching that their current theories are the only truth to be found. Anyone dissenting or pointing out flaws is labelled as ignorant, and beneath counteracting.
Welcome to reality, eggheads. When you present unpopular ideas, you're going to catch flack, even if you're correct. There's a difference between saying, "You're fat" and saying, "Losing weight is healthy. Want to start working out with me?"
Communicating with the mass of humanity is media & poliitician's forte (hence the popularity of An Inconvenient Truth). Scientists need to pull their heads out of their collective asses, admit their failures to communicate, and team up with people who can communicate with the masses or they'll remain marginal, whining about denialists and their irrationality.
I'm really at a loss thinking of what it is you supposedly can't do in 3 that you could in the others.
You can't influence the outcome of the world, except for the most basic "you were bad"/"you were good" sort of way. In 1&2, you'd travel from location to location, and influence the outcome of a storyline for each locale. The choices you made would occasionally affect other locations, but for the most part they were independent, allowing player the freedom to do the right or wrong thing as they pleased. The stories for each location are compelling and unique. The end of game wrap-up was a reward, showing you how you changed each location, and the future of each place based on your actions.
With 3, all the locations were pretty much generic. There were not a lot of sub-missions comparitively speaking, and nothing really affected anything. 3 added absolutely nothing new to the world of Fallout. In 1, we were introduced to the Super-Mutants and their origin. In 2, the Enclave made its appearance, and we learned of their origins and motivations. What did 3 add? Zip. Zilch. Nada.
All in all, the writing in 3 was weak tea compared to 1&2. I've played 1&2 many, many times and still enjoy going back through playing the games from time to time. In contrast, 3 went to Gamestop as soon as I was finished running through it and the DLC a couple of times. Bethesda would be wise to hire the guys formerly of Troika to write for them. I liked 3, but it's the weakest of the trio. I hope Bethesda doesn't continue to mire the world in mediocrity with New Vegas.
Earth is at center of the universe, imprisoning Galileo, etc, etc will teach nearly any institution a lesson or two in flexibility. And it only took 1500 years or so...
Actually, heliocentrism began with Copernicus, a priest.
If they only found the seller because of information that they recovered due to the warrant, then it all goes out the window. Don't you watch CSI:Miami?

And the fact that you can't see facetiousness pretty much rules out any weight to your opinions or comments on the subject, I'd say.

the immigration law specifically PROHIBITS stopping anyone based on skin color.
Well, I hope you whites carry around your birth certificates, because last I checked Europe wasn't part of the US.
Oh, give me a fucking break.

distraction.
It reminds me of the Fantasy Football Nerds thinking that they're less nerdy than Dungeons & Dragons Nerds. Same diff, dude.
He also mentioned iPads. Those aren't game consoles.
So is he talking about consoles or tablet computers? He's a flip-flopper!

The innards of the xbox can easily fit into a cheap home theater PC case. It also happily produces sound without a monitor.
Having a home theater PC case on my nightstand would be even better. I stand corrected.

Huh? In 3, you can literally blow up the biggest city in the game!
Yeah, but it's still there. You can still finish your missions. The change is a minor cosmetic one.
This just confirms my suspicions that TSA employees are a bunch of tiny dicked stooges.
