I'm from Finland. I was to the US last summer and have a brother working there. I must say a lot of you systems are hopelessly old and unefficient:)
Anyway, I think here a committed criminal always has a record. But economic mistakes (like neglecting rent, or something similar) disappear after say 5 or 10 years, if you are able to somehow pay your debts afterwards.
Exactly. Interesting is that many of people belonging to some christian branch is forgetting this. Well, maybe not forgetting, but certainly not taking it to heart.
I really think that the 'journalist' failed miserably.
Although the story felt credible and added some insight into the scammers everyday life the story didn't provide any information. And in the end when the 'scammer' starts providing new information the 'journalist' get's angry and starts accusing him like a child.
What if the 'scammer' can feel better about himself after spreading information? I mean shouldn't people who have done bad things be allowed to make remorse and NOT have to feel guilty their whole lives???? I mean Jesus Christ.....
I totally agree with parents criticism towards gp.
Not wanting control of how a tool works does not make you a sheep.
I think you can compare this to the car industry. Who could fix their brand new car if it's breaks down in the middle of nowhere these days? (Noone! That's who!!)
So are you a sheep because you dont care about computers/tech, but care about what you can accomplish with them?
To be honest there's potential that apple might have struck gold again.
This is device for information consumption! This is what it was designed for and this is what most will use it for. Media/web/tvshows.
It makes sense to compare it to the iPhone in the perspective that the iPhone is pretty lousy phone, but a very smart platform for having information available 'at a touch of your fingertip (or other bodily part)'. In this sense the iPad probably outperforms the iPhone.
And personally i think surfing with a touchscreen is one of the nicest ways of surfing. It's very intuitive. Take this concept and make it work on a 10" device and at least you've got yourself a good gamble.

Well, I guess neither the journalist should have to feel guilt all his life about a lost opportunity.

But a day or two wouldn't hurt??
