Wiped out $1300 from my checking account. Thankfully, Wachovia's fraud department paid back every penny, including overdraft fees, but it was just awful for that month it took to get resolved to have to borrow money to pay bills since I didn't have a credit card.
Which is exactly why you should get and use a credit card if you can. I have had credit card fraud on my card of over $3k. Impact to me: nothing (well, I did have to fill in a form stating that the items on the statement were fraudulent).
Until they start adjusting the lights and RLC limits to start making money again.
Then live in a liberal-dominated state like California, where there are state laws about how long the yellow light must be on before the lights turn to red.
You're complaining? I've been here fifteen years, and I've never had a submission accepted either!
I have had multiple submissions accepted and rejected, but the one thaat really rankles, is the one in which I took the time to write some new text to describe the article, then someone else copy/pasted my text into another submission that got accepted in place of mine.
In addition, IBM shares recovered almost all their 6.4 percent loss within a month!
IANAL.
Some people sold their stock during the dip. If the dip was due to a risk that the management had an obligation to disclose earlier, then, those people who sold during the dip may be entitled to compensation.
Do we know that they saved money overall? I poked around the article but I couldnâ(TM)t find anything.
You write as though this point is the end of possible cost savings. In the future, there will be no more Windows licenses, no more CALs to buy. No more Office licenses.
More importantly, no (or perhaps fewer) vendor(s) with a lock-in that prevents effective price negotiations and, for those that do have lock-in, a very credible threat that they will be replaced if they refuse to play ball.
To my understanding, booking photos are technically public record except in cases where the records have been sealed by the courts
And people from most, if not all, western countries other than the USA are horrified at the way booking photos are released and the other assault on justice: the "perp walk".
I was recently at our local high school football game and an older couple was passing out Richard Dawkins DVDs to the crowd. How is that any different than a holy roller passing out Bible tracts at a football game?
Dawkins isn't asking people to believe in something based on nothing more than blind faith.
As I understand it, the reason Chinese speakers find it so hard to learn English, and vice versa, is because the languages are so different.
IIRC, there was some research that showed (suggested?) that if you don't hear some phonemes when you are very young (1-2 years), you can never be good at distinguishing them later. That's the root of the l/r problem.
At the end of the day, it's all about risk, and how that risk is managed. The usual trick for middle management to keep their jobs, is to get the risk exported.
We are talking about British civil servants here. The risk that they would lose their jobs over a screwup can be approximated to zero.
Doesn't Elizabeth II count? She's independently queen of 15 different countries. Quite what power she had in them, I don't know.
"independently" being the key word. The UK government does not have control over those other countries. The Queen as an individual is head of state of those other countries. As for power, didn't the Queen's representative dissolve the Australian parliament some years ago?
What's their nuclear option? What's their post-nuclear strategy? It's doubtful the NSA is going to change their ways.
In addition to being spied upon by the NSA, these companies must receive thousands of subpoenas for information. They could be a little less responsive to each one of these in many ways (while still remaining within the law). It would not impact the NSA, but would impact the government.
An article to the rescue, about how the infinitely wise and well prepared TLA saved the day by outsmarting a dumb terrorist
Not much was saved that day..... From TFA:
but the FBI's program didn't function properly, according to a court document submitted in February,
"The program hidden in the link sent to texan.slayer@yahoo.com never actually executed as designed," a federal agent reported in a handwritten note to the court.
Can the global economy survive without publishers of any kind?
I am quite certain that it can survive without these publishers. Some publishers provide services to the authors in the forms of review, editing, marketing, advances, etc.. These publishers don't pay editors, don't pay reviewers, don't market, etc.. I think that it's pretty clear that their role these days is that of a parasite.
I can't think of a better way to destroy your product than to annoy the people who create and deliver to you (at zero price) the basic ingredient to the product you sell.
Unless a user audits the code, compiles the code (with a known to be good compiler) and manages all elements of the server and routing, there is NO assurance of security or privacy. And never mind the fact that few users even compile from source anymore.
Security isn't a binary function. Open source is more secure than closed source because many independent people can download the source and review it, many people can build binaries, etc..
Let's face it: as far as we know, the door lock manufacturers also have a master key to all our houses. The schematics and design of the lock are not publicly available, and most people lack the skills to know if the schematics they are looking at are secure or not.
Flawed comparison. In fact, locks are much more like open-source software.
Locks can be disassembled and people can review the design. Much like open source software, most people would not be able to tell if a lock design was secure, but enough independent experts can disassemble a lock and review its security.
Yes, you are reliant on experts for the truth about lock security, but you are not reliant solely on the manufacturer's assertions, which is the case with clsoed-source software.
Of late my bank has been on a new drive to irritate all customers under the guise of protecting our security.
UK banks have introduced personal card readers. When prompted you insert your card into your own card reader, enter your PIN and then enter a number that the website gives you. You then enter into the web form the resulting number that your card reader provides. In this way, you have proven that you have physical access to your bank card.
Your analysis ignores the fact that cost/GB goes down over time. After 3 years, to buy an equivalent 3TB drive will cost less (or you can buy a higher capacity drive for same money).
Where the enterprise drive wins in the analysis above is if you know that, after 3 years, you will need to replace the failed drive with an identical model. There is also a "cost of money" issue, but with interest rates so low, that's not important.
Any car with a modern ECU will advance timing until the knock sensor detects detonation
Doesn't work like that. Knock sensor outputs are used to retard timing. Maximum advance is determined in advance for the engine with recommended fuel. Otherwise a failed knock sensor could quickly result in a destroyed engine.
Perhaps if OP's engine was suffering from excessive knock due to a fault (excessive carbon build-up, incorrect timing, etc.) then higher octane fuel would make a difference.
Even my old 4-banger (gutless) 1997 Saturn SL1 sees a difference in pickup between 87 and 89 octane fuels when at highway speeds.
Don't believe you. You know that there is less energy in a gallon of higher-octane fuel than a gallon of lower-octane fuel, right? Higher efficiency and power through increased compression ratio and more advanced timing provides a net benefit to cars that require higher-octane fuel, but no advantage to cars that are not tuned to use the higher-octane fuel.
There is a difference, but it is just in the firmware settings and some consumer drives allow you to switch the firmware to behave like the enterprise drives. The settings are the "TLER read" and "TLER write". Essentially, how long should a drive keep trying to read and write before giving an error. If the drive is part of a RAID system, then for performance reasons, you want the drive to give an error sooner and let the RAID system deal with it. On a desktop system, where there is no redundancy, you don't want the drive to give up trying since there is no other source for the data.

Any car built in the last 50 years is capable of highway speeds. I assume that you are still driving the first car that you ever bought?
IANAL.

Perhaps you should pay for a background check on yourself -- perhaps there is someone with a dubious history with the same name as you?

Probably more important (for longevity) to replace the sacrificial anode every 2-3 years.
