In fact, any place where there are empty places and that provide services and that can be paid cash. Ski resorts, hotels/motels, cinema, campgrounds. It's always a win/win: If the place is empty, they can launder a lot of money, if the place is full, they make clean money anyway.
With all the regulations that the banks are subject to, money laundering can only be done through "smurfing" or structuring, a scheme that involves passing relatively small amounts at a time through many individual's bank accounts, which is much less profitable than owning your motel to launder your money.
The wording in the software doesn't even make sense
Maybe you're right, but not everyone in the world has english as their first language. In the case of Avast, they are based in Czech Republic, so their english is acceptable, but not perfect, just like mine (I am a french Canadian).
Anyways, it still says what it has to say. You didn't pay for our product, and the license is not legitimate. And don't say you can't understand "the license is illegal"!
Yeah well, maybe on/. there are few people who watch commercials because of those alternate TV watching devices, but in the real world, you know, just out of your basement, maybe aunt Greta and uncle Joe need to turn down the volume of those annoying commercials... I can't say I agree that this is a priority to pass a bill to have regulations about TV ads volume, but there are real people who still watch classic TV. A LOT of people.

Because we are nerds don't you remember? Will Farrell and Chris Kattan look like the two greatest casanova on the planet in this movie. This ain't no joke here!
It all depends on the composition of the asteroid. If it is more dense (like iron), it may make a lot of damage or create a small tsunami, since it wont disintegrate or explode before impact. If it is less dense (ice/rock), it should partly disintegrate or explode high in the atmosphere.
Yes, there would be damage, like the Tunguska event in which estimates give it "a few tens of meters across", but the uninhabited area of the world is a lot larger than the inhabited area, so most chances are there would be few casualties, except if it explodes directly over a large city.
While we are trying to use maths to solve pretty much everything, maybe the thing that is flawed is our numbering system?!?
Remember the roman numbers? It was supposed to be the most logical thing in the world back then. Then we came up with base 10 / positional numbering system. All of a sudden, everything was simpler, everything was easier to calculate, and it opened up our eyes on a lot of things.
But then, maybe we reached the end of what our numbering system / way of thinking about maths, can do.
Just asking. I'm not that good at maths, I'm not a physician nor a chemist. But looking at history, we may be all the way wrong again.
When I have an empirical proof that god exists, I will believe. For the moment, I have empirical proof that gravity exists, and Hawking simply extrapolated the laws of physics to the extreme, then came up with the big bang theory, and the theory still holds today.
No theist theory holds. It's all there to explain what we can't understand. And when we get to understand, we say "well, you know, God may have played a role anyway"...
But try to convince 90% of the human race that what I say is true. I may have a hard time.
Isn't Apple part of this initiative? Their stuff has been jailbroken so many times and so easily, they can almost call their iPhone "Open Source Hardware"!;-)
OK, not 5ms. But what I meant to say is that any perceivable lag is annoying. And on an iDevice with touchscreen, I can feel a lag between my movement and the display. and I actually touch this iDevice.
So if the device has to compute where my hand is and what movements I am doing (left/right/up/down/rightclick/leftclick), then the lag is sure going to be perceivable. Useless for gamers. Useless for graphical designers. Maybe just a nice piece of curiosity.

Should avoid working for this bank!
Sorry, but no. "A monkey", in French, is "Un singe". If you want something funny with French and English mixing with Julian Assange's name:
Ass: you know what this means
Ange: means "Angel" in French.
So Julian Assange would be "Julian Angel Ass"

Hey, I just got my brand new LaCie 90GB Hard Petridish!

Better like this: In Soviet Russia, your data infects bacteria!

Your repeater is not reliable enough?
Well at least, if it smells fried chicken, it will be better than actual truck exhaust!
It's called BSOD :-)

This is what Data took time to understand. To be more human, you need to know how to lie.

No, I'm gonna spend 20 minutes sandblasting them.
No, but I think he is the one who linked it with gravity and the relativity theory using maths...

Why do they say "mother" particle? Is it because mothers have a tendency to inflate after giving birth and getting married? ;-)
But it's funnier to plug those holes without security... ;-)

At least for the moment...
