Exactly why are transactions over $10,000 considered suspicious and cataloged by the government?
However, transactions over $10,000,000 will not be reported by the bank to the government. If you have that kind of money to push around, you are an important and profitable customer, and the bank will use all kinds of bizarre financial instruments to ensure that the Feds never get a whiff of the transaction.
Hell, if you tell the bank that you want to burn down their building, they will give you a match.
I'm going to throw this one out to the conspiracy theorists and see what they can conjure up.
It wasn't a mass shooting, it was a mass suicide, caused by 3D printed open source models of Scientology's E-meter, which the cinemascopic theater was testing to enhance the audience's senses in a Dolby Hallucinogenic way, because movie cinema attendance is down, since folks are downloading films from the Kim Dot Com wearing William Shatner's hair Giga Dump Load site, which is hosted in North Korea by Kim Jong Un Dot Com and receives Hollywood movies implanted, smuggled and delivered by Dennis Rodman in the remnants of his brain, who plans to use the profits to buy the Pope election, which will be indicated by the color of the smoke from the Pope Cave matching Rodman's hair color du Jour, and will be followed by a wacky romp in a newly pimped Popemobile piloted by an ethanol fueled hybrid Lindsay Lohan, which triggered the Batman theater movie audience to confuse the Batmobile with the Popemobile.
A heavily LSD "Fringed" James Holmes nods, and says, "Yeah, that was it," and then speculates what would have been, if had had been born with a Louisville Slugger penis, and entered the porn industry instead, and . . .
Massively overpowered cars don't fishtail and spin anymore
That depends on how much cough syrup Justin Bieber and his pals have been chugging.
Many massively overpowered cars suffer from the mechanical fault of a loose nut behind the steering wheel, where the drivers have more money than driving skills.
OS/2? When was that? BTX was introduced in 1983, long before Os2...
The first Btx system had IBM Series/1 machines as access nodes. The Btx 4.0 system development was started in late 1989, and rolled out somewhere around 1991-1993. This system had rack mounted industrial PCs from IBM. The Chaos Computer Club would probably have more detailed information.
The so-called "Pink Pages" generated something like 50% of the revenue for Minitel. It wasn't just ASII p0rn, other . . . um . . . "services" were offered, as well.
If you want to drive acceptance of a new technology . . . offer p0rn on it. Folks will flock to it.
The nationalised telephone company decided to use minitel as a way to look up phone numbers rather than issuing phonebooks 3 times a year. As a consequence the equipment was free and everyone with a telephone had one.
This is really what drove the use of Minitel. Anyone with a phone line had a choice: printed telephone books . . . or a free funky terminal. The better choice for most was quite obvious.
The kooks are voted in because the town is full of kooks.
Well, then a kook tax would be appropriate. Rephrasing his proposal:
"There should be something like a kook tax. I mean a kook tax could be a cent per gigakook and they would still make, probably, billions of dollars a year."
. . . and that keyboard was made out of metal! If you look at the picture closely, you will see small black button underneath the space bar in the middle. That opened up a flap with a flip book of secret decoder instructions for the keyboard . . .
Additionally, they are now admitting that they can't manage it, now that they have it. So now they are going to just scrap everything and start all over again.
I would hope that at least some managers there were doing a reasonable job about managing their home office workers. Why not look at how they were successful, and try to emulate that? Instead it just seems like they are tossing the baby out with the bathwater, throwing in the towel, and giving up on a modern worker model that functions well at other companies.
Thankfully, if adopted, the draft resolution would not be legally binding. It is also extremely badly drafted and almost certainly too absurd to be taken seriously. However, it is still important for the European Parliament not to undermine its own credibility with such proposals. It is also important not to give any support to privatisation of the regulation of our freedom of speech.
The vote takes place next Tuesday (12 March).
Will your MEP be supporting this absurdity?
Well, I guess I'll just email my MEP and ask . . .
Well, then, you chose what was right for you, and you found it interesting. What I don't like about this Charm School concept, is that it implies that geeks must learn "the tools to be productive members of society." My point is that you can rub shoulders with other folks by your choice of school or courses . . . if you are interested. But you shouldn't feel obligated to take a course on this. It's purely a personal choice and shouldn't be forced on anyone.
Actually, that's why I chose Princeton over MIT when I was accepted at both. I had other strong academic interests besides EECS, and didn't want to sit in literature courses with the same folks who were in my engineering classes.
Ironically, the street ran both ways. A Preceptor in a 300 level literature course pulled me aside after we wrote the first essay, where she graded me with an A. She asked, "I'll bet you are and engineering major, am I right?" She went on to explain that while the literature majors had more insightful essays, they tended to ramble around too much. In her experience, engineering students wrote more structured essays, that were easier to follow, with a clear introduction, a list of points, and a conclusion that summarized everything. And that literature majors could learn a lot from engineering students.
At my eating club, I had the opportunity to interact with students with other majors, and exchange thoughts on what our majors were all about. This was not a formal "Charm School", but it had the same effect.
Actually, although you may not realize it at the time, by traveling around you will be collecting new experiences and inspirations. These could indeed turn out to be useful for your research later. Think of all the scientific discoveries that have been found by accident.
Sometimes if you are purposely concentrating, researching and looking for something, you don't find it. Maybe three years on, you will be stuck on a problem in the lab, and suddenly something from your travels will pop up to give you insight.
Actually, when two isolated human cultures meet, one of the first things trade are sexually transmitted diseases. The same thing will happen with aliens:
"Captain, I know it was against orders . . . but I just couldn't resist her green scaly skin, her soft yellow underbelly, and her series of fin-like ridges running down here spine!"
Zombies get their salt from the human flesh tartare they consume. Humans taste salty. Just ask any dog that is trying to lick your face, or a coyote that is gnawing on your leg.

Can actually make you sick.
Yes, but it can't make you die. Otherwise the Windfarm Sickness problem would take care of itself.

Isn't that something that mainly the Germans are into?
No, it's a meme of the Intelligent Designer retinue: The belief that the seeds of life are spewed throughout the Universe.
You know, like, in the beginning, the Intelligent Designer created the Heavens and the Earth, and then He wanked off all over them.
completely omits Ginni Rometty the current CEO of IBM who has worked everywhere within the company over 30 years and has CS and EE degrees.
Maybe because she spends her time running the company, instead of grandstanding about herself in the media . . . ?

The German Post Office and Telecom offered a similar service called Bildschirmtext (Btx): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bildschirmtext
That system eventually evolved into the T-Online ISP in Germany. So it wasn't entirely a dead end.
. . . and the access nodes for the system were running . . . wait for it . . . OS/2!
We can shift. Half of the year, we will say, "No", and the other half, we will say, "Yes."

Perhaps she had a crush on you.
. . . now that . . . would have been fiction . . .
When did we start to allow police forces in Western countries start to behave like militias?
. . . since Hollywood lobbyists have convinced the government that Pirates like Dotcom are terrorists, and IP theft is an attack on the economy . . .
