Is TomTom really that much better then the built in Google "map" directions?
I use a lot of GPS devices, but never a TomTom. I can't imaging spending $60 for any app on my iPhone, $9.99 is about as high as I will go.
Both my Vista HCX and iPhone with the built in map app will do directions. Did I already say $60 is a lot to spend on an app if the only real diffrence is it talks to you
Oh, don't get me wrong, you can't put a price on safety!
I have gone though 3 iPhones even in OtterBoxes (yeah I am hard on gear) and have not had to replace an app, they just load onto the new phone when I sync it up. It's a really painless process.
Both videos are about 2 minutes each and together you'll get the idea.
What's in my bagHow I use it. iPhone is top pocket in second video.
I wasn't trying to imply it was a reuse. Perhaps I should had written a longer post, (but I was headed into the really real world) I was implying out that human error and fraud are in inherit faults in the IRS system.
This is my EIN, there are many like it, but this one is mine. 20-3850855 (my EIN is public information), and mine has nine numbers. So, I don't know how hold your business is but maybe they used 8 digits back then. I saw the screen at that bank and further more, I lead an interesting enough life I have no reason to make up something up as boring as this.
It's a fact, there is a customer at Wells Fargo that is using the same series of numbers as his SS for a mortgage that is my EIN. No BS. I was told by "my" business bank there was nothing I needed to worry about and they would look in to it.
I found a customer at the bank I have a business account at is using my EIN as his SS# They give someone a mortgage to someone based on my s-corps financial filings (I guess). I looked into it, we can't get the house. The bank didn't seem to care much either.
My cable internet service does that here too. They default to Yahoo, (WHY?) but you can op-out and/or choose your own search engine. In 2 years of rare use (ie accidental, miss-typing) I have only had to reset once.
I couldn't do it all the time with a family and most of the time I am just as scared as can be, I let the training take over. I feel just as bad for the guys a I bring. I would hate one of my guys kids to lose daddy. I don't sleep much. I tell myself someone has to do it and my wife hates it, but understands and knew what she was getting into when she signed up. A few high threat situations a year is about all I can do. And thank you for the props. So what's it take to really impress you? I know there are people out there that I think are really brave compared to me.
Short answer: I can't EXACTLY, nor would I tell you how, and I doubt very much if we sat down in my living room having some coffee you would say much more then "holy fucking shit".
But why EXACTLY do you want details? Need to go? Do you have experience for this kind of thing, are you looking for a job? Don't believe me? No offense, but so what. I don't give out details for many reasons. All for the same reasons I have not and do not post missions on my blog. Yes, I maintain that I do stuff, I talk about training and gear, some personal adventures, but I do not provide details of missions. Let's leave that to Hollywood.
How about this: Banks are not highly trusted in Africa, if someone (or group) has some money, it generally in US dollars or Euros and "on hand" (read that how you want). With a small team, some local time and previous experience in Africa (yes they really say hakuna matata in east Africa) It comes down to where to look and how to ask.
Look, there are really people like "us" out there, I should never have posted my first comment - I was just in a bad mood. The whole 419 pisses me off, the FBI does dick about it (and there is not much they can), Interpol stay's out of Africa for the most part and the African Union has other issues to deal with (if that kind of stuff even falls into what they do). I wish we could have killed everybody in that damn house. Yes, there is responsibility in the client that gave them the money in the first place, the worst part of the whole mission was talking to this guy who gave away his money. The $15k was what I gave my client after what it cost 4 of us to go to Africa for 3 weeks.
I am sorry I can't tell you more and maybe you never really wanted an answer, I don't know.
Good luck, with whatever it is you do.
If you seriously need help with something you do not have the skills for, contact me through my personal web site and I'll bring up your case at our next meeting (no, I am not joking)
Yes that is a bad new story, I tell everyone I can about 419. I really can't believe how many people don't know about the 419 scam. And yes even trying to get you/any money back is extremely dangerous, I know of several that have been killed on foreign soil attempting to get money back (for themselves or for a client). I first got started an investigation of the 419 in 1999. Of 50 cases, I have one success, it is was not a full "refund" for lack of better vocab. There are some other internet scams, but this is the big dangerous on. I am "pretty young", but I live in an old neighborhood and I know a lot of my older neighbors and I tell them all: "anything weird: mail, internet or front porch, call me at anytime/any hour". When I get unsolicited scams, I go all I can to scare the be-jesus out of them (like replying with their real name and LKA). It pisses me off to no end. I hate grifters, and if I could go after them for free I would.
My contact page also says I am currently in Glenallen Alaska.
Not really sure if your making a joke or what exactly. (I have not had coffee YET) But a 200 grain round of 10mm Buffalo Bore travels at close to 1700 fps and carry's enough energy to penetrate a brown bear just about anywhere (according to acquaintance, occasional shooting partner and author of Alaska Bear Tails Larry Kaniut)
in 2003 I recovered $15,000 for someone who lost their money to a web based computer scam. It was not easy and I didn't kill anyone (at the request on my client). Africa is a dangerous place. I have been doing stuff for a while, the odds of you getting all your money back are pretty much 0%. In fact I would say I did not get my clients money back, I probably got them someone else's money.
My 42 inch is hooked up with an old MacBook with HDMI at 1900x + and sound going to my stereo. It's not perfect but I use Hulu (desk top) and netflix's streaming. Both are quite decent. Youtube, Why bother?
I might have added; I speak to 100% of my clients and have had a 0% fraud rate (with over 300K in annual sales). It's just that kind of business. Not everyone lives in a geek (or even current) world.
And yet on one of my sites people still put their credit card numbers though (which is not even necessary to place an order with us). What does that mean? People think SSL is universal, or they don't care, I don't even know. Half the time I don't even check when I submit data to a unknown/untrusted site (don't get me wrong, I don't submit sensitive or credit card info without checking and when "shopping" online I try to use trusted companies or companies that use Paypal.
Admittedly it works on mechanic's far better then lawyers, but it does work on people in pre-legal environments. But as I tried to convey I use it in a far more subtle way then I actually write a post on/. or else where, being the written words in short post can seriously lack subtlety. It's very hard to come across in way that doesn't make me sound like a dick or scary and I probably fail more often then not (My wife says I scare the crap out of our employees and people I meet in a professional setting can often guess what I have done in my past, sometimes with out even opening my mouth).
As for the sig, I took Latin in HS a over 15 years ago and that's how I remember the expression being worded. Ancient expressions do not always follow correct grammar.
When I deal with lawyers (and other professionals who might think to take advantage) I make sure they know who I am personally (if they choose to look, that's different), but I always provide some personal bit of information about them (so they know, I know who I am dealing with) like the year they passed the bar and the first law firm they worked at and via email I make available a link to my web site. If conversational I make sure to drop something to they know my experience is broader then they scope of the current dealings. Nothing obvious or uncalled for, just enough to eat at their subconscious.
Take this comment, you might go "yeah whatever", you can read it or not (you may have stopped before getting to this part). Maybe I am sitting in my parents basement and I am a gaming fanboy still in high school or maybe I am ex-special forces? See, you went "yeah whatever", that's fine you have nothing invested, we don't know each other. Now, if you were to follow the link to my website thinking you might want to take legal action against me, do I come across as someone that handles things though legal channels?
I feel for the guy in the parent story (having been targeted in much the same way). We all handle it as best we can.
No really, do people depend on these? (funny story, I went to the printing department at the local Officemax to print post cards for my business with a DVD-R and they said the computer they had did not read DVD-R's)
Every time I have used a CD-R it was only as a temporary storage option (as in to take big photo files to Costco or aforementioned Officemax) until DVD-R prices came to be pretty much equal or lesser. We have all know CD-R's have high fail rates, freaking ZIP dives have better life spans (I think, I have nothing to back that up with - just fuzzy memory from back in the "old days").
No joke, in the same city. Had to go though all the "I like to go out on the town, but also like a quiet night at home" girls before I came across: "Looking for a guy who can handle a girl like me, smart adventurous and so on." there was no photo and little other info other then "I raise and kill my own cows". I sent an message to her right away, she thought I was a made up guy and a joke by her friends (me: www.professionaladventurer.com). Dated for a while, married 2 years later, 3 years after that still like new. She is a 10 of 10 across the board. www.forfunalaska.com is the business we started as is www.paliuli.com. Match.com has only gone downhill since then. I contacted then sometime after we got married and they did not want to hear anything about our success. In fact I still get emails from them like "did things not workout? Come back to Match.com and get 30 days for free."
$250,000 goes a long way to actually paying for sat TV service. There must be a better and less expensive way to conspire to violate the DMCA? Is the N3 hack market so lucrative? Can't you do better elsewhere with that kind of money, like launching your own legitimate sat. TV service?
I am sick of LARPer's and LoTRer's. Go outside and get some air, they are just some freaking books made into pretty neat movies. No, I am not a troll, I just play one on TV.

I could really go for a Fanta right now.

So, I think people just don't care.

No way, a service that was not what it seemed, nor as secure? How could this happen in Europe of all places?
Having never heard of this and living above 60 degrees in latitude, I have something new to look for in the dark skies of a 10 month winter. Cool.
