Good point, three is economic damage. Once they reinstated my son's account, they 'comped' 3 days service, game was a monthly rate. If you are banned, you lose a service you still have to pay for.
In the article, he isn't just paranoid, but has had several problems, which have extended to make unhappy bankers.
You plan would work, but then it would be like $30 worth of effort, so loses its appeal. Another casualty of technically savvy criminals, staying one step ahead of industry.
The amount of effort it takes to get things reversed when you feel you have been inappropriately banned. I recently spent a lot of time on web and phone to get my son's account re-enabled for an online game (not EA). Once a manager looked at his remarks in context it was clear that he was not in violation of their ToS. If they are going to do this, they better be damned sure of the training and ability of the people who will be issuing the death penalty to the gamers.
When they say 'IED components', they are talking about microchips that can be used as timers or remote detonator circuits.
This is the difficult part, you could be exporting parts for a middle-eastern version of tickle me elmo, but if that same part is 'dual use' you, the exporter, are screwed.
Not true - US Bureau of Industry and Security still requires that encryption software export is controlled (15CFR774). We have applied for and received several license exemptions, but still must report our exports of our software that includes blowfish twice per year, to the actual addresses each shipment is sent.
Very well then, thank you for a means to explain the panties that suddenly appeared in the glove compartment of my car. Just a spacial shift when the universe was recreated.
Animal welfare is controlled by federal law in the U.S. as well as institutional review boards. Pain controls (including Analgesics) are regularly used during procedures. A stressed-out monkey is a poor subject. I think you would be surprised how much most people in the research field care for animals. But lots of advances would never be made without the use of animal models.
If you read the website everything in the car is electronically assisted (or drive by wire), not hydraulic or mechanical. Still doesn't explain why he could not take it out of gear, although with all the electronics it may have an interlock that prevents that from happening at highway speed.
Happened to me once in a borrowed Rabbit Diesel (1980 somethingorother). My friend never bothered changing the air filter and it was completely plugged, so the engine created a suction. As you say, ugly sound and lots of foul smoke. Taking out the air filter remedied the problem.
90% (yes, I pulled that number out of my a**) of the problems are the result of social engineering. Opening the interesting email (or attachment), or clicking on the popup that promises to check your PC for spyware.
A little education will go a long way toward nullifying those common types of attacks. Not having read the book, I assume it also tells people that there are technical measures that must also be employed (i.e. AV, firewall, etc.)
for helping create this intarweb thingey in the first place. Thankfully, we have insightful people like Senator Hatch to watch out for the needs of the American corp ^H^H^H^H people.
The one I am aware of only uses radio frequencies to communicate with the elevators (inside the shafts). Navigation is through memory, then radar and sonar for collision avoidance.
Actually look a little like a dalek minus the gun.
I remember having this in the mid 90's when my mother was in the hospital, used to deliver drugs from the pharmacy. The bad part was that it would come on the floor, stop in front of the nurses station and

On a loop every 30 seconds until someone responded (annoying when you aren't well). IIRC it had numeric code and a different compartment for each nurses station, so no stealing from others.
Funniest was when it would encounter a wet floor sign or similar, and didn't know the difference btw that and a human. Would say "Excuse me, I need to get thru" 2-3x, then back up and go around.
Wonder if they had to pay royalties to Steven Hawking for having the robot simulate his voice?
...of the state of Massachusetts system that is used to register luxury vehicles, The list of vehicles is hard coded by manufacturer and no one knows exactly what is on the list or how to add a new one.
The guy that did the programming many years ago is no longer around. And apparently no documenttion for the code either.
Wouldn't it be a self defeating system? If hundreds (or thousands) of building suddenly increase their usage to take advantage of cheap prices, wouldn't that also lead to rolling brownouts or blackouts? Conversely, if all dropped the consumption quickly, wouldn't that lead to the price dropping due to greatly reduced demand?
Seems like there needs to be an additional level of communication between the buildings so everyone doesn't shift at once. The model is cool with 5 buildings, but will need more work to scale up.
As is says in TFA, it is only a narrow proof, simply a beginning.

Don't forget that adultery (and homosexuality) are against the rules for all active military personnel. They can lose their jobs over it.
this is not a Mars simulator, but an elaborate soundstage. They just got caught before filming the successful Mars mission.
Now I can't justify replacing my 2yo laptop because the battery no longer holds a good charge, they're giving me a new one.

Agreed, give me a couple of trashy blondes with no gag reflex and low tolerance for alcohol. I'd blow something up for that.

...who thought that the link to MOFO.com would be some kind of Samuel L. Jackson fan site and not a law office?

Would be bad for the car ;)

Not only should you be modded up to avagadro's number, you should have a team of geeks raising you on your shoulders cheering for you.
Concise and thoughtful opinion. Are you sure you didn't intend to post this someplace else?

I got to help him change the oil.
Sometimes he brought home pallets so I could build a fort.
Why couldn't you have been a cool engineer like gsfprez's dad, you bastard!
Sorry, just still workin' thru some issues.
