It's not Apple's customers that are being defrauded - in fact it is Apple's customers that are doing the fraud. Apple is making it as convenient as possible for their customers to do so.
I think the most likely way to get your card data stolen these days is online... where you also have to enter the CVV for everything. It does seem to be a rather pointless security measure.
At best this raises the suspicion that somebody in the chain of responsibility for maintenance and/or flight assignment may have been involved. (How do they decide which plane flies which route?)
If someone from the maintenance team was involved in a conspiracy to take down the plane I really doubt they would've recorded the evidence in the maintenance logs.
You think it's possible to implement a "new economic structure" that doesn't favor those with wealth and power more that the current one? The only people interested in a level playing field are those not at the top.
The Senate is skewed to favor small population states (which tend to be Republican), and the population ratio between big and small states is much larger than it was when the system was created. I am not sure that can be called "working as intended".
They don't make any money if you don't show up. Gouging your customers pisses them off and they will go away if there is any alternative, and in this case there is. If they were smart (they're not) they'd make concessions cheaper, and it would increase attendance and therefore profit.
my prediction: in two weeks they'll announce that they've changed their mind, supposedly under pressure from the people advocating for freedom of artistic expression, but really because it's a publicity stunt to drive up sales. There may even be a theatrical release. If they had released it in December they would have had a flop on their hands, because it's a bad movie (one reviewer said it was "about as funny as a communist food shortage, and just as protracted") and it would be competing with the other Christmas movies. Add the controversy and a January release and they may just make money off it.
I think at one point it was true in Africa as well, but the demand for slaves changed the dynamic completely. hairyfeet's attempt to place the blame on anyone but the people buying the slaves is silly, since the end-buyers were fundamental to the economics driving the entire system.
As near as I can tell from the TFA somebody just put an arbitrary limit of 40 million in the code somewhere. Would be nice to have more technical details.
Bad wording. Perhaps "obvious and preventable" would have been better (and why does the counter not go to at least max int, e.g. 2^31-1 = 2,147,483,647).
"low quality" is the third definition of cheap (according to Webster's). The first 2 are basically equivalent to "less expensive". If you want to be pedantic, do it right.
In a cross-culture study it's going to be very hard to adjust for rates of molestation versus rates of reporting or prosecution.
IQ differences also point towards implies control. The LA Times article does mention this. So IQ might have no correlation with the desire, only with the behavior (or with getting caught). It also says "Not all pedophiles molest children. Nor are all child molesters pedophiles. Studies show that about half of all molesters are not sexually attracted to their victims." For that half I don't imagine that access to porn would help the problem.

It's a good thing those Republicans support state rights. oh wait ...

That happens too. The construction workers next to my office building cut both the gas and the power (not on the same day, luckily).
Well, an 8 foot trench means that the next person to come along and dig a 4 foot trench won't cut your fiber.
I think the GoT TV series sucked much less than the books, so it's a positive in HBO's column.
Gonna lob something at your head. Don't make me get lobby.

SMS used to be quite limited in the USA, but most providers started making "Unlimited" SMS either the standard or a very cheap price.
Which they did after iMessage and other alternative messaging services came out, of course. I'm grateful to Apple for forcing their hand.
incompetence on Ebola? Only 2 people have been infected in America, and both of them lived.
Did you? The thread started with balloons.

Or people chatting on their cell phone and never noticing your brake lights.
I think Lumix is just cameras (a Panasonic brand).
Were you upgrading from Vista? I could see why you'd love it by comparison.

I wonder how long it will take someone to turn this into a secondary (and insecure) microphone. It's already been done with Android's gyroscope.
