For instance, Java takes forever to understand as compared to C++
I can only find this to be true for people coming from certain backgrounds. I don't think anyone without previous programming experience would agree that C++ is easier to understand.
Well, maybe it's easier to reach the point where one thinks he understand, then definitely easier to realize that nothing is actually understood even if somehow things worked:-)
Problem here is that actors, singers, companies, etc, will act as "hubs" - since they have hundreds of thousands of "friends". So probably it's not 6 degrees but 3 or 4 here.
Well, what you described doesn't measure the number of sales lost in future Ubisoft games by pissed off customers who did buy the current game (and playing it legally).
I don't know why Ubisoft assume that where there's a console there must be an internet connection. Some of us when going on vacation (beach house of whatever) take the console with us to play whenever we're bored *precisely* because we don't have an internet connection there (or it's mobile and just used for basic stuff).
The fundamental reason is that it cannot be (easily) changed. I honestly don't give a fuck about anyone's else real name, but I appreciate when I can identify idiots and just ignore them forever, which is not easy to do when they can create new accounts in places every day.
So well, when usually real names aren't needed, the lack of them makes it too easy for trolls to pollute forums and other social websites.
You agreed to their terms when you setup the account, including this bit:
"""
4.3. Moneybookers reserves the right to suspend, at any time and at its sole discretion, the Merchant Account (or certain functionalities thereof such as
Ah...suspend means keep the money too? Forever or until their demands are met? How are you, moneybooker's owner?
It is your account. You are the payer.
In what planet if a person A sends money to a person B (that would be me), is B the payer?
And by the way: There is no way to get money from moneybookers without sending it to a (real) bank institution. So everything is traceable. My Spanish bank has seen by ID. So all this laundeing shit is bogus. Any money I send and receive via moneybookers (or paypal for that matters) is easily accounted for.
Do you read things before you sign up? And why should they ask for ID before legally required too, you want them to go beyond what the law requires?
Have you read the very same link you sent? Where does it say that while my ID is verified I won't be able to have access to my money? According to that very page, the UK law doesn't require that they limit access to my money.
Show me the regulation that says that they get to keep any money?
Where, please? Because I read it and can't find it. In fact, that document says that it's the information of the payer, not the payee, that should be available - and if it isn't, it can either be requested or the transaction be denied. So no, moneybookers doesn't have to keep the money.
Are you sure that wasn't something that they were required to do by industry regulators? There's typically caps and limitations in place to prevent individuals from laundering money. Sounds to me like you hit a limit.
I understand the issue, but not the solution. Sending a photocopy of a passport proves nothing. If it's my real passport it puts me at (high) risk - and anyone trying to launder money would use someone else's passport. If they want me to show up somewhere with my (original) passport so someone checks thing out, fine. I'm willing to do that. But sending a copy, no way.
Anyway what pisses me off is not that they refuse to do business with me if I don't send the the damn thing, that's their choice. It's the fact that the money won't be sent anywhere (either me or the sender) until I do. Why isn't there an option in my account that says "Reject money" so the sender gets it back? He doesn't have anything to do with this, he paid me for something and I now have to ship it even if didn't the money.
You are complaining that they are "stealing" your money even though you haven't given them proof of who you are.
If they want proof of ID, then they should ask for it up front - not when they have money and I have no option. Of course they won't return the money to the sender either.
Unlike PayPal, who you would also be sending your ID to, at a random address, Moneybookers is regulated.
Show me the regulation that says that they get to keep any money?
Your money is sitting in that account because you are a retard, not because they are thieves.
They are thieves. They won't give me my money and they won't give it to the person that sent it. And they demand that I send them a photocopy of a document that can be used to open bank accounts (real ones), apply to loans, and lot of other things. If you think I'm being a retard for not sending them that document, then will, go fuck yourself and send them yours.
Moneybookers are a bunch of thieves as much as Paypal. Only reason there's less stories about them is that they are much less used, but here's mine. I used it to receive money (same at Paypal). At some point, they decided I have received a lot of money (around 1000 EUR I think) over the past months, and that I had to send them proof of ID. They wanted a color photocopy of my Spanish passport, sent to a random address in the UK. Until I did so, I wouldn't be able to get my money which they just decided to hold.
I told them to just close my account (and well, deposit my money in the bank would be nice) but they replied back that I had to send my ID to close the account too. I'm not going to send a copy of an ID that can be used for a million things . So well, my account is still open, and they have my money. There isn't a timeout or something.
So please: Don't recommend moneybookers. They suck as much as paypal.
Don't know, to me it seems like an example of corporate gambling.
- Sun betting that google would pay $100M to prevent future lawsuits (after all, Google has been playing with fire all along)
- Google betting that they would pay nothing after all, so they preferred to bet "lawyer fees" vs "$100M" vs "lawyer fees + billions"
- Oracle betting whatever they bought Sun for - for a chance to win billions.
Also, lots of small investors with stock in google and/or oracle, just spending the day at the casino:-)
Not betting: Lawyers, they're shopping for widescreen monitors so they don't have to horizontal-scroll when home banking.

Indeed. I see myself in a walk to vending machine - back to chair loop already.

Nasty bastards those aliens.
Go to the Ender books and see what happens when an alien species decides to terraform with a virus
If that Ender sent us history books from the future I think we have nothing to worry about, we've got a nice dude on our side

Amazing how much of email traffic is spam, mind boggling.

OK so 4 tires shared with another 10 guys just to go to the inspections, old ones the rest of the year...
Problem with these strikes is not that workers stop working - that wouldn't be a problem unless you needed them, which you typically don't.
Problem is that often they break things so you notice their absence faster.
It's not as profitable to Google if they can't link an online identity to a fake/anonymous account.
If you think google can't link your fake account with lots of real data you're very naive.

Who does want your real name -- and why?
The fundamental reason is that it cannot be (easily) changed. I honestly don't give a fuck about anyone's else real name, but I appreciate when I can identify idiots and just ignore them forever, which is not easy to do when they can create new accounts in places every day.

It's ROT13. Good luck with those 136,000 tapes we've got.

Provide your ID to the company that is regulated by the EU and you'll have your money. You are just a whiner.
And you are an idiot if you send a copy of your ID to someone that just proved they can't be trusted.

This is slashdot you know, no need to stick to 3 characters or whatever like in tweeter.
I'd admit though that you did wonders with the space you thought you had available, so it's no surprise that you got a +5 insightful there.
Does Android compete with Apple. (No, if you want an iPhone you're not going to buy an Android phone and vice versa.)
Too much of a stretch, isn't it? Of course one brand of phones competes with the other.
Don't know, to me it seems like an example of corporate gambling.
