  1. Re:The Real Issue...Not indexed for inflation. on Why Is It a Crime For Dennis Hastert To Evade Government Scrutiny? · · Score: 1

    Over time this creates and increasing burden on businesses and banks as they are required to report transactions of smaller and smaller value.

    If it's such a big fuss (read cost) then the banking lobby would've moved to have it adjusted to inflation. What's in it for them by not having the said adjustment done?

  2. Re:So the argument is... on Why Is It a Crime For Dennis Hastert To Evade Government Scrutiny? · · Score: 1

    correct response is "I'll plead the 5th, until I have consulted with my lawyer, in private." doesn't matter if you have or have not committed a crime.

  3. Re:Structured transactions are illegal on Why Is It a Crime For Dennis Hastert To Evade Government Scrutiny? · · Score: 1

    Yes. Any time you take or drop $10k in cash in a bank or $5k in cash in a casino, there will be a report.

    According to a Wellsfargo teller, anything involving 5k or more gets reported. I suspect it's actually less than that now.

    You do know that the Japanese has been bitterly complaining about how their financial aid to China were "repackaged" as Chinese and given to even more backward countries...?

  10. Re:Observations.... on Former HP CEO Carly Fiorina Announces Bid For White House · · Score: 1

    I appreciate how terrified Fox is of Hillary given how strong a candidate she is ( especially when viewed against potential runners like Fiorina/Bush/Christy/Huckabee )

    I am not sure if that's true. Politicians are realists; all the republican and tea bagger nut jobs is throwing their hat into the race because they perceive democrat has no viable candidate.

    Ruin? No. She'll "improve share holder value." Probably something along the line of arranging for "merger" with China to reduce national debt, and become the "sole remaining super power (again.)"

    I think your sarcasm just flew right past me. She's no captain... unless you're thinking that Costa Concordia's Chicken of the Sea from a few years back (hot damn, never thought I do quote F_x News). I am waiting for an adventuresome CEO to phrase this type of affair as a bad case of diarrhea...

  15. you don't want their actions. on D-Link Apologizes For Router Security · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Keep in mind this is a company that has a history of doing malicious things; willful violation of GPL that was resolved only when they're drag into the court and lost, hard coding default time server IP address in firmware (imagine hundreds of thousands of them all attempting to sync at the same time daily) It demonstrated a culture of (sociopathical) disregard for others, that alone is reason enough to not buy any of their products.

    Sure they could do the inkjet business model. But why do THAT when they can charge you an arm and a leg for the printer, then chip the fillment and extort you for your first born?

    When you layoff 20%, it's just business (insert whatever reason that gives the top manglers bigger bonuses.) When you _FIRE_ 20%, it's big f_cking deal; a company has to be pretty screwed up to be firing 20% of its head count.

    ... it was to argue that he should receive life in prison rather than the death penalty.

    I would support that, but not because I might've harbor some lofty respect for life; it is far cheaper to lock up this witless git and throw away the key than pay for the endless appeals required in a capital case.
