This is why I'm founding Micropayment Cooperative (MC). All I need is seed money to get it off the ground. If everyone sends me just $.000025, I should be able to get this up and running within a week.
It's not any different at all. Problem is, many of these fake storefronts are so obviously fake that they attract attention just by existing. I've been in jewelry stores that have an inventory of a few hundred dollars. This is one of the reasons strip clubs have family ties, it's an efficient way to clean the cash. Problem is, then you actually have to run the business.
OK, I'll show a very concrete way this could be done. Create an online business that sells access to content, like porn. Or perhaps you could have an online casino. Or software. Anything.
Now typically you would have records of credit card transactions, that could be traced back to the card's owner. With this system, you would have records of transactions that cannot be traced to anyone.
You could then simply pump a buttload of cash into the system and report legitimate profits.
God, I hope not. I avoided getting a cell phone as long as I could because I enjoy the solitude of driving and don't like to be interrupted. My employer finally forced me to carry one during all working hours.
Now, the only time I can be free of this pest is when I fly. If that goes away too, I don't know, I might just lose it, in more ways than one.
The latest version of Gallery (1.3.4) can and does use ImageMagick as well as NetPBM. I know many that have it running on their sites. It's just that Gallery's documentation is poor and rarely updated.
Nah.. only people that want or need to know will care. It's the over-used car analogy again. My wife has heard the word carburetor, but I'll bet dollars to doughnuts she has no idea what it does.

I just got the first "Increase your tounge by 6 inches!" spam in by mailbox.
Probably because it was way more stupid than funny.
Ha ha. You're trying to trick me.
4 * 1.5 = 6
IPv4 * 1.5 = IPv6
IPv6 is only 50% bigger than IPv4.
Someone needs to recheck their figures.
I, for one, am grateful for this opportunity to come clean. Where do I send the check?

Of course, there's a few side benefits....
have you ever seen a vending machine which takes hundreds?
Every day. Come to Vegas, baby.
I admit, I'm talking out my ass, but money-laundering doesn't typically handle a million bucks per whack. A few thousand, or even 20 - 50 grand maybe.
Millions are the very rare exception, not the rule.

The most common way of laundering money is to create a shell business and over-report sales.
In other words...
1. Set up sham software business.
2. Buy licences from yourself.
3. PROFIT!
Presumably, it will provide something like the disposable calling cards.

Here's the passwords I came up with:
Inky
Blotty

I bet there's not too many of these. Put 'em in a wordlist, and, bang!, you're a hacker!

By placing arsenic in your water bottle that you leave in the refrigerator, you can tell who's been pilfering your lunch.
I'm familiar with class action suits. Is there such a thing as class action defense?
Guess I better not call them.
Talk about imprecise. Exactly how big is that? As opposed to what... teeny, weeny tissue samples?
What? Wooly mammoth? What do you mean by that? You mean, like with hair?
The only place to get a wooly mammoth tissue sample from me is my butt. Why would you want to clone that?
Bunch of pervs.
Not true, but an understandable mistake.

ImageMagick is used quite a bit with online photo galleries. Here is one of the most popular.
Ha ha. You're trying to trick me.
A car won't go without a carburetor. You sound like my brother who tried to convince me that I didn't need rabbit ears to watch HBO.
Nah.. only people that want or need to know will care. It's the over-used car analogy again. My wife has heard the word carburetor, but I'll bet dollars to doughnuts she has no idea what it does.
"Memory" means how big the hard drive is.
He calls floppies "tapes".
To him the monitor is the computer.
He calls the tower the hard drive.
And he claims that I'm confusing.
So... a thumbnail's worth 10 words?
who's to say that there might not be spies writting the software
Absolutely correct. Think Banzai Buddy.
Where do you think spyware comes from?
