I have to confess, I found it quite humorous that this, Slashdot, a "News for Nerds" website, would have a misspelling of Ron PERLman. I mean, it has PERL in the name, and you got it wrong! Usually typos don't aggravate me into complaining about them, which I'm not really doing this time. I'm getting a kick out of it.
Quote from the first article:
In late February, and early March, officials arrested two Brooklyn men and charged them with stealing some $2 million from ATMs from late 2007 until their arrest. When federal agents raided the home of one of the men, 32-year-old Yuriy Ryabinin, they found $800,000 in cash -- of which $690,000 was in garbage bags, shopping bags and boxes stashed in the bedroom closet. His co-defendant, 30-year-old Ivan Biltse, had another $800,000 in cash. Added bold to stress the fact that each had 800k.
Most "Limited Activity" accounts like this are savings accounts, or other high-interest accounts. This is how banks validate offering a high-interest account to their board of directors - lots of fees. The way to avoid this is to not have any automatic bill-pay come from your savings account, and just set up a checking account that you transfer money to (from the savings) in larger chunks than your two transactions of $10 and $25 at Wal-Mart.
Back in the 90s, the telecom companies swore up and down if we just deregulated them and gave them all kinds of tax incentives, they'd wire the country like crazy. Actually promised us--get this--45 meg symmetric, not just download, to 80% of US households by (wait for it)...

Of course, the deal was meant to be enforced by the FCC which under Bush said, "Whatever you want, we're taking a nap."
Okay, I admit, Bush has been a pretty.... vacant president. But where do you get off blaming him for a deal made in the 90's that *he* didn't follow through on? Wouldn't that be...Clinton's job? Feel free to mod me flamebait, I'm just asking.
Err, disregard my first comment, you already covered that. The issue with taken lines as broken though, is that if you do that with one, how do you know others aren't supposed to be taken that way too?
If you take all of them as broken, and include the spaces that *might* be there on lines 2,4,7,8, then you end up with two sets of |||. Periods maybe? Some other delimiter?
Some schools hand out public IPs to basically every computer. The school I went to and now work at does this - when you register your computer on the network, you choose public IP or private IP, and the private ones only have access to things within the campus - no outside connection at all. Thus, almost every student (and almost every computer in general) have public IP addresses, which are tied to the user's email address, which is tied to the user.
He said he did some programming in 1987. That doesn't mean he's actually a programmer now. Any experience he had then would hardly count for anything now, and it could have been just a simple phase he went through, that now he wants to relive.
So have I. It had Windows 3.1 on it, but all of the business-related programs ran in DOS only. I don't know if the user actually knew it had Windows on it, not that they'd be likely to recognize 3.1 as "Windows".

More than 2,000 officers in 15 countries, including Poland, the Philippines, Germany, New Zealand and the United States, are using the device, which Microsoft provides free. 19.95 is a rip off! that's like trying to sell iTunes 99 songs for $20 per 10 song CD! who would do such a thing....besides RIAA

Perlman.
That wasn't Citibank notifying you of potential identity theft - that was a potential thief.

This is Time Warner, not AT&T. If any company could be expected to do that, it would be AT&T with their Roll-Over, courtesy of the Cingular purchase.

Trying what you suggested with chunks of ||| being line breaks, you end up with:
3 1 2 1 1 1 1 2 1 1 1 3 1 2 3 2 2 1
1 2 3 1 2 3 3 3 1 1 2 2 1 3 1 1 1 3 3 2 3 1 2 2 3 3 3 3 3 3
2 2 3 3 1 2 3 1 3 1 1 1 2 3 3 3 2 3 1 1 3 3 2 2 3 2 3 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 1 1 2
Don't know where this is headed, but could be a breakthrough for someone else! (clearly a slow day at work)
For the price of 100 gold, I will identify this cryptic item.
The only problem with that is twice in the last chunk the sequence "1 1 1 1" appears, not counting possible removal of line breaks

It is being downloaded by RIAA's unlicensed PI firm. Does that count?
