I have fell victim to this from a hotel in Rio Grand de Norte in Brazil where when I checked out with my debit card used my pin (covered my hand) and fly back to Rio de Janeiro. By the time I had arrived my account was cleaned out as someone had made a duplicate card and bought shoes, jewelry and even hit the ATM machine and withdrew cash. I showed my airline ticket and the money was returned.
The second time I used my CHIP and PIN card from my UK bank account thinking I was safe. Well guess what the CHIP and PIN is a dog and pony show! I used a UOB ATM machine and someone was able to duplicate my card and use my PIN with a new NON CHIP and PIN card and wipe my account out. Meaning the system doesn't verify if the CHIP is in place it only uses it assuming one is on the card. Once again some fancy new sneakers, jewelry, cash from the ATM and even had a movie at my expense.
I will tell you it took well over a month to get the money back but in each instance the money was returned.
I now rarely use my DEBIT cards for anything and I make damn sure there is no money in the account (second non-linked account) and if I want to make a large transaction I just move the money make the transaction and be done with it. My other option is good ole american express.. I can pull up to a 1000 pounds a day and while it can be expensive as long as you pay promptly its not too bad.
I work offshore and was going through laptops quite regularly but all that changed when I picked up the XFR laptop. They are very sturdy but are much lighter than the tough book PC's which I also find kind of outdated.
They come in both touch and non-touch screen laptops with 14.1 or 12.1 inch screens. Some of the best features I have found about these laptops are the fact that they have VGA out, SSD hard drives, ability to charge your cell phone (or other USB devices) while the laptop is turned off and it comes with a 3G SIM card slot for mobile broadband built in.
I noticed on http://www.drudgereport.com a link to an Italian website (http://www.corriere.it/Primo_Piano/Cronache/2003/ 02_Febbraio/03/crepe.shtml) showing visable cracks on the shuttles' left wing. I can't speculate as to the authinticity of this photo but if NASA knew of the cracks then why the hell would they have them try a re-entry.
If anyone has any information concerning this link let me know.

AND, LAST BUT NOT LEAST, anyone can just simply t-splice your line to get 100% access to your communications, with maybe just having to perform a simple impedence adjustment...
Would you like to explain to me how you can t-splice a PtP circuit?

You just described the Democratic party to a T. They would rather the USA burn to the ground than see Trump succeed.
The Trump train will be running for 8 years.. no matter what you lefties think.

Just my 2 cents!
