Simple fix: Provide an authentication method which would require providing real information before you can accept the money.
Then track down where all the bots' money is going. Bam, you've got your crook.
That really sucks, but the U District has the second highest crime rate, second only to parts of Central.
While many college kids are "poor college kids"... just as many are wealthy kids sent on daddy's dime. The muggers tend to know that, especially since some of them are students themselves.:-/
We have Speakeasy DSL, which is the best service I've ever had. Unfortunately for some people in our building, they opted for the cheaper solution: Cable.
Our friends moved in next door, so we decided to share our DSL with them -- totally within Speakeasy's TOS. My neighbor came over to tell my roommate, who had hardwired the two apartments' networks together in the phone room, that their network was down.
He checks everything in our apartment and everything looks good. Then he remembers the cable guy was in the building... he goes and finds the guy had disconnected the two apartments and told my roommate "Sharing your connection is illegal." He kept saying this, even after my roommate explained that we had DSL, not cable, so even if it WERE true we weren't allowed to share, it wasn't their problem.
Ten minutes later, the internet isn't working again. Turns out the cable guy took the power cord to the hub, since he felt that my roommate "didn't understand stealing was wrong."
Words... escape me.
Dell tech support has been going downhill for years. I think the best/worst story I got was when I got a machine from them about 4 years. Came pre-installed with a bunch of crap, so I formatted and was reinstalling... then I noticed a grinding sound when the HD was reading... so I call them up to get a replacement.
What was the tech's opinion on the problem?
That must be a new rule... or perhaps it is only for the programming tests.
When I took my other AP exams, we had previous AP exams (usually 3+ years old) to use as study guides for tests and for the exams themselves.
Among some of the sites this U.S. agency accidentally blocks... several gay rights websites.
The submitter obviously is not familiar with the Bush Administration's stance towards anyone who is not hetereosexual. Anything that happens towards us these days that is negative, do not believe for a moment it was just an "accident".
He went to school at Lawrence Tech, where my ex just happened to have gone and shared with me stories that have been passed down about the man.
One such story is that he typed up letters claiming to be from the power company, saying that the company had underpaid by $5 and to remit payment to a PO Box.
He sent these letters to a number of companies -- the PO box being his own personal box.
He was tried for it and levied a fine... ironically the fine was LESS than the money he made from the whole scam.
So I'm not saying the man was guilty of everything accused, but he definitely was not a total angel.
I took a vacation to Florida back in November and was gone for a week. As I work for a software company, I pretty much expected to be pranked.
Sure enough, when I returned, I found everything in my office had been taped to my monitor. And I mean everything -- the protrusion was 3 feet long.
Apparently they had done more, complete with netting and such, but one of the higher ups walked by and said it was too much. It was pretty funny, until it came time to separating everything that had been taped together...

They parodied this famous moment in Kevin Smith's Mallrats as well.

Yes, but one would assume a Housemaid Robot would be able to do more than a maid who cleans once or twice a week...
Lucas must have taken a cue from that for his awful midichlorians idea...
Personally, I consider some of the directives coming out of MS to seem rather Elmer Fudd-ish...
;-)
Using that line of reasoning, you made a typo. Try searching for wabbit, perhaps...
And I wasn't even supposed to be working that day!
(inevitable throwback to Clerks...)

Would you trust some tiny little upstart or a company that is now in its 3rd century of spreading Fear, Uncertainty and Denial?
The D is for "Doubt", not Denial. Just FYI...
Let's not blow this out of proportion, please.

You must be new here....

Yeah. Needless to say, I was rather speechless.
Maybe A Capella can sing us a hint.... ;-)
Yeah. Those crazy teens and their hacking of that Gibson... Poor, poor Balky.... ;)

Oh, you know... ;-)
It's like a hypothetical certainty, of course.
Or an unquestionable choice.

If you're not convinced, check out The Human Rights Campaign website.
Because that broaches on the adult entertainment industry's rights... ;-)
Don't worry ... he's going to go back in time, leave YOUR comment instead, and everyone will think he's the genius.

It's foolproof!
John Delorean did have his scrapes with the law.

If a wood-case gets slashdotted on the web and nobody sees it, does it make a sound? ;-)
