I work at a grocery store service desk, and as such, I handle many western union transactions a day. To answer your question, no, you cannot recieve money without a valid form of identification, and in some circumstances, you cannot send without identification.
It is quiet here...
Stares up at the stars.
Passes the joint...
I normally do not read any of Katz's stories, but i feel that the Hellmouth ones are the only ones worth reading.
In reading this story, and it's comments, it occurs to me that noone has noticed or even mention this site which is currently the Phrack website. Ah, well, probably much too late to be moderated up, but I thought I would mention it anyway.
"Hard Disk 12 GB, 2.5" x 9.5mm HDD" I read this to say that the unit is 2.5 INCHES by 9.5 MILLIMETRES. In looking at the pictures at Ars, I noticed that the HD seemed to be an almost standard looking. Perhaps the 9.5 mm is supposed to mean the depth. When you take this three dimensionally, it appears that someone forgot to include the length. And besides, if you click here it shows that the 12 gig has mysteriously turned into a 6 gig. Anyone else find this odd?
I just pinged them moments ago, and 207.99.30.230 seemed to be alive. tracert seemed to work as well. Check again. I would, but I am stuck behind a damn proxy/webfilter.
Ahh. Right. Another oops. The link really is LinuxCE. Just as a friendly note to moderators, when you see something like this and see that it is not a valid link, make sure that it is true, that it does work, and that it actually exists. I should have noticed that the first thing, but I failed to do so. Once again, I apologise.
Sorry, I did not follow it to make sure it was a valid link. My fault. Moderate it down, so that no one follows my idea, and flames me for it. I had not realized it was a joke until I had already posted. Forgive and moderate down, that is all I ask of you.
Man, I'm going to have to start a program like this in a local school when I get a chance.
If the truth be known, I am a Senior at a Private high school. I am also trying to get Linux integrated into the system here(no distro mentioned, flame war bad). I have had some luck getting the Sysop to approve Linux on one box, but I now have to get a proposal approved to get it officially integrated into the network. Good job emmett.
Agreed. I own copies of L0phtcrack and other articles of software, Back Orifice and a keyboard sniffer among them. I suppose it would be childs play to implement these in the commission of a crime, but I choose not to. I have heard too many stories about people getting caught at serving large amounts of time (Kevin Mitnick) to get involved with cracking script kiddie BS. The concepts are interesting, but I would much rather set up my own machines, and break in using that so that I can get the thrill of the chase without the commission of any crimes.
Scandinavian battle between Linus and Bjarne? Sorry to disappoint you, but our God, Mr. Torvalds is not scandinavian. He is Finnish. I only bring this up as a matter of setting the record straight.
...But Denial Of Service sounds a lot like the/. effect. While the slashdot effect is the result of many people trying to access one site at the same time, the DoS attacks follow a similar principle, but the DoS utilizes software to maliciously bring down a server. This understanding may be incorrect, but think about it for a second. Rob, I know this probably has been mentioned before, but I agree with the people that say that prior to posting a story, it would be a wise idea to either mirror or cache the website similar to what Google does. I realize the amount of space that this would take up, but it would be very helpful...
I agree with some of the points you present here. I personally feel that the tests are biased towards those who are good at taking such tests. I scored a 27 on the ACT, but I only have a cumulative GPA of 2.095. I took the ACT once before, and got a 25. I have a friend who is ADD. Needless to say, he did not do too well on the standardized exams. The people who put these tests together basically are discrimnating against those who are poor test takers/unable to concentrate on the task at hand.
I agree with you that The Shockwave Rider is a good one to begin with, but I have also noticed no mention of some books I enjoyed reading when Iwas a young child about 8 years ago. 18 now, so when I was 10-about 13. What about Isaac Asimov's Norby books. These were great. Just my 2 copper units...
Old? I just turned 18, and I play this game all the time, switching between/u/g/adventure and NetHack. At least, I do when I am supposed to be doing my homework...;-)
Essentially, yes, Amiga does mean girlfriend, but not in the sense that this girl is my girlfriend. It means that this girl is a friend. In Spanish, Girlfriend actually is novia.
Just an interesting fact from the mighty mind of ME!!!
Christ. You too? It seems that this whole thing seems to be quite the common experience for most of us. I do tend to fantasize about planning elegant crimes, but on the other hand, I also do not have the balls to carry them out. (Yes, I am male) Peace
ACtually, now that I think of it, why not include Linus "God" Torvalds as one of the top ten greatest hackers of all time. I live linux, and feel that this Finnish masterb[iece should also be included on the list of hacks.

Well, there is also the APEX Supercase, reviewed at Arstechnica, and available at thechipmerchant.com Comes with casters, at a very affordable price.

C'est la vie.
Here is the link so you can just click instead of cut and paste... LinuxCE
No, thanks, please. It had to be done.

Yes, and it is also the case that the Dust Puppy will be helping him... I have recently removed this information from a reliable source.

Or wait... The COMPUTER is the video game...
Yes. It still exists. And if it was porn back then, it still is today. Honest! I am on a UNIX terminal using lynx!
Yes. I'm gonna make you an offer you can't refuse...
Your Don wishes root on your machine. For this favor, he will be our friend for life. Union problems, they may disappear...
