This is obviously a case of some jerk who used the lady's name and address to create a fraudulent ISP account.
How many times have we read about some hacker who just jumps from one stolen or spoofed account to another, never paying for the services used?
Next someone who really does use modern computers but who does not pirate music will be sued successfully for that huge amount of money, ruining his/her life for exactly this reason however simply because his computer Could Have run the software he/she will have no defense.
This just goes to show that terrorism can start at home... in the hands of people who don't keep their software patched and upto date.
Of course there's plenty of other more extreme examples of terrorism starting at home in the US too. (timmy mcveigh for one) Hmmm, I wonder why Dubya hasn't bombed Oklahoma yet... If he did he could then go beg for some tasty UN 'foreign investment' to get that economy jumping!
no, that kind of tie is a supposition, not something you can prove as fact or fiction so you can't say its a lie. How can you be sure that people werent 'a little off' just from knowing many of their neighbours worked for the company that profits from the chance of destroying all life on earth?
for example, we all know smoking causes cancer, but you can not say absolutely that a specific case of cancer was definately caused by the person being a smoker. There is an obvious tie, but no way you can prove it in any specific case.
On a similar topic, how to you feel about your president crawling back to the UN begging for assistance now that the US can't handle the mess he caused in Iraq? After demanding that the UN stay out of it, to either jump in and fight or get out of the way, stating that the UN is irrelevant, suddenly now he's running back crying that the US can't actually handle it after all.
what a typical american way to do things. destabilize a messed up country where the people already don't like you, never find the evidence of WMD's that were supposedly an imminent threat to the US - the entire reason for the war (of course the reasons changed later when the WMD's werent found)... but now when the responsibility of cleaning up the mess is getting heavy, try to drop it back on the UN.
I have no doubt the US will give up and pull out of Iraq far too soon, leaving it in ruins with no real government system.. as a breeding ground for terrorists way worse than anything hussein had and everyone of them begging for a chance to die by taking innocent lives with them... somewhere in the distance a clueless aging Dubya in his rocker asking what it was we ever did to deserve it.
with rolemodels like Dubya its a wonder you don't have way more psycho mass killings.

Here is a list of the submarine launched nuclear ballistic missiles MADE BY LOCKHEED-MARTIN
Gee I thought they only made rockets to launch satellites!
Well now since thats the first big chapter of that page debunked as false, There's no point trusting any of the rest of it. The author was merely using the same tactics he accuses Moore of using.
The point is to keep the earth stable for our habitation at least until such time as we can habitate other worlds. You can't deny the drive to carry on that millions of years of evolution has ingrained on us.
When you were a baby and crapped your diapers, did your parents clean your environment so that you could continue to be healthy, or did your parent's leave you like that understanding that your 'environment will be fine', that you living in poop is insignificant on geologic timescales?
you forgot to mention that if a company takes the game back, reselling it as 'new' at a slight discount... the game publisher gets screwed. That's one less truly new copy they sell to the retailer... and less money to pay for the coders needed to make the next great game.
Has anyone dug deeper... does the retailer get his money back for returning the returning the 'defective' software back to the publisher or are all sales final? Final sales here also mean the retailer can't afford to take back the games.
Raise your hands all of you who when CD burners first came out, borrowed your dads credit card for one of those super expensive drives, pirated everything in sight for a weekend, then returned the burner to the retailer cuz it 'wasn't what you had in mind for your system'?
Darwin in action... Natural selection and survival of the fittest demands that the above person climb out of the gene pool, the rental time of your water wings is up.
As the environment warms (be it from us or from nature), ocean water warms up on the surface.
As the warm water of the atlantic follows the Gulf Stream northward along north america, and then towards europe, it cools and sinks, then following other currents southward. This heat transfer cycle is why Europe is not a lot colder than it is.
If the surface water heats up enough, it won't be able to cool off enough to sink when it gets to europe, the water underneath being cooler, the warm water will stay at the top.... shutting down the Gulf stream and cutting off the the flow of heat giving water to Europe. (The warm water moderates the weather helping to warm Europe).
With the Gulf Stream shut down, Europe will freeze until such time that the cycle is able to spontaneously start up again. The effects would be felt around the world.
Has this happened before? - in the mid 1600's. lasting for around 100 years (or 300 years depending on where you choose to pick the start and finish), the 'little ice age' gripped europe, eradicated viking settlements in Greenland and North America (before columbus). Inuit people kayaked as far south as Scotland. And people couldnt grow the food they needed to live. As late as the late 1700's, New York harbour froze solid in winter.
Fluctuations in solar output compounded with volcanic ash in the atmosphere may have been the cause of the little ice age, but the effect of a gulf stream shutting down may be the same... global warming may in fact lead to a few hundred years of arctic weather.
now we know that you wouldnt work if you had that kind of money, but its obvious that others do. Not everyone works merely for finacial gain. Do you really think the public would have donated the billions to charity that Bill has donated simply because every few years they had a little extra money in their pocket?
'allowing' others to amass fortunes?
wow you have no clue. if you didnt allow people to get rich from their work, if you limit the possibilities, there would be no incentive to invest money and take risks and create jobs. Welcome to the former USSR comrade.
If making the MS bosses rich has been solely through them overcharging us, then many many millions of people have had money to burn, otherwise they would learned to work with other systems... lindows is cheap isnt it? it has some of that linux crap in it that makes it all holy above all doesnt it? why aren't you using that?... thats what i thought.
No one has forced you to put money in Bill's pocket, if you run windows it was your choice and yours alone. (at least that must be the case since we all know Linux is the best thing to walk the Earth since the year 0)
Funny Iraq wasn't part of it... despite 70% of the US believing that Iraq was involved with 9/11 (thanks to Dubya), now even he after the fact admits there was never any proof of a connection. Basically admitting that it was part of his manipulations... and I still see no WMD's.
Being part of it was irrelevant. Dubya wanted 'a new Pearl Harbour' (his own words from before he was elected) to bring the country together. 9/11 was just a convenient coincidence for him. Why won't the US population hold him responsible the way you or I would be if we broke that window in the analogy?
Yes kill the rich, after all they do nothing but invest money that create tens of thousands of jobs (how many employees does MS have?), create new innovative products that are happily used by millions (anyone want to go back to playing games on DOS computers?), and then if they are kind people, donate hundreds of millions of dollars to help the less fortuneate.
yes, the money is decimal, but that is the basis of the metric system... base 10 numbers. 1792 is the date when decimal money was proposed, and it was in this era when metric was put forth as the official system in France where it originated.
and actually it seems that for 110 years your feet and pounds have been defined by your own government in terms of so many meters or kilograms. In other words your own measurements are a derivation and complication of metric standards.
sucker..
The US was one of the first countries in the world to adopt the metric system 200 years ago.
It's just that the US was lazy and stopped after making the money system metric.
I guess this guy didnt read the recent/. article that declared that Linux computers for the first time made up more than half of all cyber attack victims for the first time last year.
these were not the average spare parts linux boxes many of us have at home but instead were actual business servers - as in the computers that really matter.
It seems the geeks have finally noticed that there are a significant number of linux computers out there worth attacking... beware your perfect 'secure' linux world is about to crumble and be exposed for what it really is. You can't fly under the radar in your beat up home-made ultralight anymore.
You see, that would be the typical american assessment since you wouldnt take the time to see the truth. Here in Canada, we love the money you drop here as tourists but wow you are some the rudest, most arrogant people around when you are visiting someone else's country!
Sure there are many similarities, but many differences too.
For example Canada knew the instability and trouble and murder that would be caused by attacking Iraq under false pretense. Yes Hussein was a dictator that needed to be taken out of power, but at least they had stability. Today hundreds of women are being kidnapped and raped because there is no real threat of arrest.
Canada didnt believe the lies about WMD's, and connections to 9/11 (to which Dubya admitted the other day that there is no connection). We wanted Hussein out of power, but for the right reasons, which would not have just made us another enemy in the world. You know, like the way we helped make South Africa free and are working on the same in Zimbabwe.
Now who is it that can't handle the mess they made in Iraq and is asking for UN help.. for whom they didnt have the time of day before the war?
Yes, it is a good thing, but not until there is a real proven threat.
By repeatedly making the public think we are in danger and then calling it a false alarm, the public gets complacent, then NASA's budget gets cut, then the real deal happens with us unprepared and we are gone like the dinosaurs.
what happens when Quebec finally decides to leave Canada, but under force?
what happens when the US runs out of energy or water and some goof even worse the Dubya is in charge and wants our tar sands (more oil there then in Saudi Arabia) or wants our water (search google for the US ideas on damming the full rocky mountain trench in BC to supply them with water)
and, more realisticly, Canada lost some of our all loved status (at least in the middle east) when we helped invade afghanistan. You'll recall our notable mention in one of the Osama recordings.
Try travelling the world a bit, you'll find that outside of Europe or Australia, most people don't know where Canada is (heck even a lot of people in the US don't know) and often assume we are part of the US.
And recall again that attacks on US nuclear plants will affect us too.
Sorry for the poor formatting, it should have looked like this:
Actually I am Canadian, I know we dont train the terrorists, but that doesn't make us immune to terrorism. Think that radiation from an attacked US nuclear plant won't reach you?
And recall that in the US there are 103 nuclear plants, none of which use the 'safe' and 'clean' CANDU system.
Try shutting down a nuclear plant permanently.. meaning forever at the end of the plant's lifespan, leaving the land habitable, and the waste 'safely' stored. NOT the shut down for refueling, maintenance or for this years xmas party.
Here's the projected cost in the U.K. http://www.antenna.nl/wise/394/3840.html
$27billion US
Now, about those safe storage methods you mentioned. Perhaps a CANDU isnt so bad, recall there are hundreds of facilities around the world that are not CANDU reactors and produce much more dangerous waste.
Cost of nuclear waste storage in the US:
$58 billion US to store US waste at Yucca mountain nevada, $4 Billion spent on studies already - Yucca Mountain, your dry storage method
Wow, i bet your allowance would more than pay for that. Of course they still don't know if the 7 volcanos in the region will remain quite during the thousands of years needed. But they have at least studied how the waste would be brought to the surface by such an eruption utilizing the natural fissures in the mountain.

Whether or not you believe that greenhouse gases are a problem,
Your ignorant assumptions are showing, Hydrogen is a greenhouse gas:
http://www.ghgonline.org/otherhydrogen.htm
All nuclear reactors produce highly radioactive waste that will remain highly radioactive for thousands of years. The cost of storing the waste will be far more than the benefits of the cheap electricity... that is if you actually believe nuclear energy is cheap (i'll give you the benefit of the doubt that you do realize it aint free)
Here's some more reading to enlighten you:
http://www.gracelinks.org/nuke/nuclearwaste/
hmmm so its not clean, not safe, risky, and very dangerous.
CANDU reactors are much more safe for sure, since the highly radioactive waste they produce that has to be stored for thousands of years only contains traces of plutonium. Enriched unranium for bombs can still be made from a CANDU. Sprinkle that on your cornflakes.
Now what about the costs of securing nuclear waste against terrorists? dirty bombs anyone?
How do you save a nuclear plant from a 9/11 type attack and still keep the costs of the electricity affordable? A hit by a plane would be the ultimate dirty bomb.
What about the tens of billions it costs to shut down an old nuclear plant? They can only operate for 20 to 30 years before they must close permanently. Well since nuclear energy is free, we'll let you pay for that.
Anything run by humans has the chance of being managed poorly, your ignorance on this subject is an example of how complacency and then disasters happen.
