I don't think I mentioned anything about the current legality of DUI checkpoints, merely that they are an arbitrary investigative tool used by the police. They impede my right to travel to search me for violations. Regardless of whether or not the constitutionality of tactic has been upheld, sure seems to run a grey line with me.
"We're not focusing on long-term fantasies, we're focusing on things we can do today," John Donahue said in a televised interview with Bloomberg TV Friday morning.
Ouch, his tie must be too tight. 20 years ago, Ebay was a "long-term fantasy". Imagine, a VIRTUAL AUCTION house where anyone on the planet can throw money at you!
It's like asking, how can politicians have a normal sex life without the media weighing in and the public thinking it's their business? The only difference being, most people believe that politicians should have no private lives while the rest of us schmucks can. The internet is become the great equalizer in many respects, some good, some not so good.
It is used as a tool to investigate prospective students, clients, employees, etc and whatever is found is fair game for using against a person. It was once playground and now, like everything else it has become a weapon.
The old bbs days when everyone had a nick is long gone. Huge databases are busy taking the anonymous and connecting it to real world identities. My nick here started as an anon account back in 97 and I think I managed to keep it separate from my real world identity for about 18 months. The OP is being nostalgic for something that hasn't existed for a long long time.
The key word in the definition listed below is LOANING.
Title 27 - Alcohol, Tobacco Products and Firearms Volume: 2 Date: 2003-04-01 Original Date: 2003-04-01 Title: Section 479.11 - Meaning of terms. Context: Title 27 - Alcohol, Tobacco Products and Firearms. CHAPTER II - BUREAU OF ALCOHOL, TOBACCO, FIREARMS, AND EXPLOSIVES, DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE. SUBCHAPTER B - FIREARMS AND AMMUNITION. PART 479 - MACHINE GUNS, DESTRUCTIVE DEVICES, AND CERTAIN OTHER FIREARMS. Subpart B - Definitions.
479.11Meaning of terms.
Transfer. This term and the various derivatives thereof shall include selling, assigning, pledging, leasing, loaning, giving away, or otherwise disposing of.
That's called 'transfer of firearm' and is illegal in many places thanks to our politicians. Creating technology to circumvent the law sounds like a sticky place to go.
There seems to be some confusion about our recent announcement of a partnership with Aqoba allowing us to hold Euro balances legally. There has been an overwhelming response to this development, unfortunately some of the information quoted by journalists is factually incorrect.
This shall serve as a clarification.
In short, Paymium is neither a bank, nor a PSP. And it doesn't need to be.
Paymium, the company behind Bitcoin-Central has partnered with Aqoba, which is a registered PSP. The Crédit Mutuel Arkéa bank (not to be confused with the Crédit Mutuel bank) is the bank that Aqoba is associated with to provide the financial infrastructure a PSP needs.
This allows Aqoba to keep funds on behalf of third-parties in payment accounts ("comptes de paiement") which are different from bank accounts ("comptes de dépôt"). The difference between these is that funds deposited on a payment account may not be used for investments or loaned out. Additionnaly, these accounts have no overdraft capabilities.
These accounts will soon get their own IBAN number, be able to be associated with a debit card, but remain distinct from what is legally referred to as a "bank account".
In short :
Crédit Mutuel Arkéa is the bank that is used by Aqoba for its financial infrastructure needs, Aqoba is a registered PSP, Paymium works with Aqoba in order to operate as an intermediary when individuals and corporations wish to engage in the exchange of Bitcoins, The "Garantie des dépôts" mechanism (which resembles the FDIC) covers our clients against a collapse of the Crédit Mutuel Arkéa bank. Funds deposited with us will still remain clearly separated from Paymium's funds.
It is still a big development for a Bitcoin exchange to be able to operate legally within the European regulatory framework. Bitcoin-Central is leading the way in this respect. But we're neither a bank, nor a PSP. And we intend to keep it that way.

readers see the obvious logical fallacy, I hope the legal system views it with the same degree of clarity.
You fsckup your own security then blame the guy for accessing and republishing something you posted for the world to see?! Stupid bureaucrats.
. . . definition of boss with that of micromanaging slave driver.

You mean like DUI checkpoints?

Idiot suit.
this is how police forces were initially created in this country anyway.
It can't.

I do not think that word means what you think it means.
the overreaching US Government destroys yet even more emerging technology.
Tell them to get bent, Americans are citizens, not subjects!
Laser Beams!
the cable companies hate their customers but love their money.
Really? You couldn't follow the link in the post to the article and read the first two paragraphs (where there was a link to the pdf???)
Bullets are made out of black powder? All the ones I've used have been made out of lead or copper. How do those black powder bullets hold together?
Reporters, please learn the difference between:
Ammunition and bullets
Magazines and clips
Automatic vs Semi-Automatic
etc, when talking about firearms.
Define GP please.

What world? Colorado, and in 30 days we will no longer enjoy the same freedoms as those in other states in this country.

Greetings and salutations. Welcome to the emergency line of the San Angeles Police Department. If you prefer an automated response, press one, now.
I didn't know it was a government drone, I thought it was just some lawbreaker's. . . . . that's why I shot it down.
We all know what happens when bio-gelpacks on our starships catch a cold!
My takehome pay just decreased again.
Don't just help spread rumors from other sources.
