what the original poster is talking about is people buying with stolen cards, not delivering it to their address, but to a mule instead, and have that "mule" reship it to their true address.
So yes, it deserves jail for the guy who stole your card
How about a flashmob with hundreds of us taking pictures with big lousy flashes and everything?
Maybe we'd get nice videos to post on youtube. It could well be the only way to reverse the trend.

it's relevant today. Let java programmers program javascript web apps easily and today. This is great news for their Chrome OS clients.
Also it's great for Google's patent issues with Java. If developers go away from pure Java, Google probably has less patent issues with oracle.
It also means programmers can code for Android, chrome Os, and PCs with no porting. That's a big deal!!!
For customers like me and you, however, I don't see a big plus.
Look, the show of love for Steve Jobs was maybe a bit too much last week. But probably in a few months all will be back to normal.
People will think that Edison, Einstein, etc... were way more important than Steve.
And what's more important to look at will be if Apple stays an innovative and growing company. Then we'll know if it was mainly Steve's work, or just a bunch of great engineers.
And if Apple products will stay closed products as they are today
back in 95 the "true computer engineers" said they did not need 2D graphics, command-line was better than any GUI could ever become, Internet was a useless toy.
They've been proved wrong since.
in 2011 some think 3D in a browser will always be useless.
but we're all seeing software starting to move the cloud (cloud storage, gmail, salesforce, etc...), and we're all using 3D.
let's talk again in 2027!!!
In several states I can marry a girl as young as 14 with their parents permission. I can marry her, bang her any way my little heart desires, again completely legal, but if I take a picture of my wife naked I'd be a child pornographer!
If you ask me, you'd have to be a perv to marry a 14 year old. Taking pictures of her naked would make it worse, and getting caught with the pictures would make it even worse.
And I need no law to say that!
depends on the value of the data:
- How much it would hurt you if someone had access to it
- How much it would provide to someone accessing it.
Personally, I just tear the disks open and break the read/write head
On old disks I gained a very powerful magnet once or twice. But most times it's just a fun time with the kids. Show them how the head moves with electricity, etc...
Show them Alice.
You build a program by plugging bricks together, including math functions, tests, while, etc..
The result is a 3D animation than can be interactive if coded properly.
A simple program can fit on one screen, so good for overhead presentation.
If a young kid is not interested by Alice, you know he'll never be interested by programming!

Reducing connector size means reducing the cable size, and reducing reliability.
I don't want a phone a millimeter thinner if the cost is a smaller headphone connector, and a connector with Apple proprietary technology.
I usually burn through 4 or 5 headphones through the life of my phone. Mostly the cable to connector connection breaks after about 6 months (I walk with my phone in the pocket, while listening to music through headphones...
In my case, making the connector smaller would mean my headphones last a much shorter time.
sure, but what do citizens like you and me do about it? close to nothing I'm afraid.
Isn't there about a billion pcs operating world-wide today?
what do we do to recycle a few hundred million of them each year?
My point was fairuse business is all good, but it can only exist on top of people creating the content.
Most of the time those people want to be compensated, and that's fair too.
I love free and open source, use it and participate in it, but that does not pay the rent or the food.
If a car company published all their design documents to the public domain, you can bet there'd be a big mess in that industry. Although it would be fun to watch!
I was walking in Paris, when suddenly I saw a shuttle on top of a large plane (a Boeing I think). it was back around 1983.
I had not heard about it in the news before, so it was a big shock!

don't have mod points, but what you just said is inspiring!
For those who don't like the idea of living 150. Just think about how life would be if we went back to a civilization where life expectancy was 50.
May we clone you?
Funny, Samsung did about the same thing (open a shop beside an Apple store in Australia. They were "selling" Galaxy S2 for 2 dollars unlocked ...

Why doesn't Mozilla declare the next version "version 20". This way they would clearly show they are more advanced than Chrome. :)
which standard has Microsoft improved in the past?

12 billion light-years away
Then it means there was water there 12 billion years ago. Is there any left?

Fair Use Drives Large Part of US Economy
but to have fair use you need someone to create the content in the first place

how many devices run honeycomb, I suppose a few hundred Thousand, and that's not enough to get lots of apps.
If you're doing what I think you are, may I suggest turning off the webcam?
