All that stands between her and one beeellion dollars are a few lousy finger prints !
Once you've transferrred the money, there is always the battery acid;-)
I could start a new life with that kind of cash, perhaps even run for office (not like there aren't precedents anyway). If she's any good then she won't get caught anyway.
As far as I can tell, the law is there to separate the proficient criminals from the incompetent criminals. Only the incompetent end up doing time (for no profit). The good ones run the country.
Would you do 2 years in a low category prison for $5M ? Could you earn that much legally in that time ?
Reminds me of the old saw, if you owe the bank $50,000 you are in trouble, if you owe them $50,000,000 then they are in trouble.
nb. I think this demonstrates quite well the difficulty the Judge faced in determining what a "web-site" actually is. Language is key. It's not a case of whether a Judge knows what a web-site is, but what the Prosecutor thinks it is and how that knowledge affects their interpretation of the law and prosecution of that case.
Yes, the earth has been much warmer in the past. When the dinosaurs roamed the earth, for example. However, they didn't have up to a billion people living within a meter of sea-level.
And this is where the agenda becomes clear - no-one gives a fuck if the climate warms up, just as long as it doesn't affect them !
Quite frankly, the historical evidence shows that there is warming and cooling of the earth, over periods of hundreds of thousands of years. Just because, *this time* we happen to inhabit the place, it doesn't mean we should start meddling in things we have only just started to have an inkling of. WE WILL MAKE THINGS WORSE !
By all means, cut emissions and reduce pollution, and go for "greener" energy sources, but don't use emotional blackmail to suggest WE are killing everything on the planet. The planet is quite capable of killing us all off any time it likes.
I hope the magnetic field reverses soon, just to give the meenies something else to gripe about.
And in FC4 it's under Desktop>Preferences>Screen Resolution
That's at least 2 years old and IIRC it was like that in FC3 and FC2. Don't let me stop the trolling though.
Does the submitter know what a "Fair weather friend" is ? Because they don't appear to.
A fair weather friend is one who is with you in the good times and against you in the bad times.
According to the summary, Disney has been exclusively signed up to Blu-Ray from the beginning. They have never not supported Blu-Ray. They have never rubbished Blu-Ray, nor released any plans to withdraw their support of that format. So how does this make them a "Fair weather friend" ?
If they had supported one then the other then the first again, according to economic climate then the statement might be true, but they haven't done that at all.
Much of the current population of the US are descendants of people who came here to get AWAY from all that - and figure out how to live together in peace...
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha !
Is that why they all but wiped out many of those tribes you just mentioned ?
... without tyrannical rulers and enforced, draconian, social homogenization.
Well how's that working out for ya ?
BTW, if you can show me a link to a world map showing the locations of all those tribes you mentioned I'd appreciate it - but in the meantime, the subject was COUNTRIES
As for the rest of it, most of the rest of the world learn things about other countries and call it general knowledge. We don't regard our own particular neck of the woods as the be all and end all of everything that's important.
There was a reason Team America always showed the distance from each foreign place to the US...
One employee of a major reseller in the area told me 'off the record' that a guy we had busted recently came in several times a day for several MONTHS with DVD box-sets still shrink wrapped and stickered from one of our stores.
Back in the old days of vinyl, all the sleeves on display were empty. You had to pay to get the real item.
So what's the problem here ? Idiot thieves, or idiot retailers ?
Microsoft consumer products are feature loaded and are optimized for rich usage models.... quite secure and very reliable.... LongHorn server has been robust and reliable. Hmmm, smells like MS trolling to me.
Fedora has defaulted to LVM partitioning since FC4 AFAIK.
Only the/boot partition is outside LVM control ---
"Only an active Linux system may read or write to LVM volumes. For this reason, the/boot partition that initializes your system must be held outside of the LVM physical volumes." (FC5 Disk Partitioning Guide)
I use LVM on my media server, as it allows me to keep a consistent addressing format (in automatically generated playlists) as the disks get filled up. I currently have 4 disks arranged as 1 LVM volume with a total capacity of 1.3TiB. Another plus point being that as the disks age and available disk capacities rise, I can migrate the data within the LVM group onto the newest drives and then replace the older ones. I have 1x 200GB, 1x 250GB, 2x 500GB currently installed.
BTW, the sizes show 0 free but this does not mean the disks are full, merely that there are no free physical extents available to add to the VG on those disks. (More info)
A year or so ago, a relative had their credit card details "lifted" while conducting a transaction over the phone with $retailer. This only became obvious when his monthly credit card statement showed payments to AOL. He called the credit card company to get the payments stopped and refunded. This took place but AOL continued to take the payments. The police were asked to intervene, but even though AOL must have had an address linked to the card details (AOL accounts require a landline don't they ?) they claimed that they couldn't say which account the credit card details were linked to, and refused to help any further. So, more digging by the police eventually found the original culprit had been working telesales at $retailer (strangely enough he no longer worked there and the police were "unable" to give out his details).
Fast forward to this year, and I got charges showing to AOL on my statements. As I have not used AOL for over 10 years (OK, I was a newbie and it seemed better than Compuserve) I was a bit annoyed. Got the charges reversed and asked for the account linked to my card to be canceled. AOL basically said (once again) sorry, we can't do that because we don't know who the card details are linked to. Next month arrives, AOLs payment disappears from my account. I call the bank again and get the charges refunded and ask them to make sure that AOL doesn't get to bill me again. They suggest that I call AOL to sort it out. So, after 45 minutes on hold, I get to talk to a call centre goon, who after much personal digging of my identity, tells me the only way to get the charges canceled is for me to send copies of relevant bank statements and identity documents and credit card numbers to their operations centre in the Netherlands.
Yeah right !
I'm trying to stop a fraud, not propagate another one ! Needless to say, I didn't send those details, and fortunately the bank now seems to have prevented the charges from re-occurring.
Maybe the title would make more sense if it were arranged correctly:
Instead of "Brown Dwarf Stars May Be Missing Cosmic Link" it should read "Brown Dwarf Stars May Be Cosmic Missing Link". (Assuming of course there is supposed to be an analogy to the missing link between humans and apes)
The way it currently reads, it seems that these stars actually have something missing from their make-up, which is not the point. 12 year olds editing/. again ?
I think that is should cost much more to buy a new domain name.
It would harm spammers registering throw-away domains for each "marketing campaign".
Rubbish !
Considering that half the spam I get appears to come from my own domain through spoofing (and there is no reason to suspect the other 50% are genuine either), I don't think increasing the cost of domains will make any difference.
As I only pay around $10/year for my domains, and the current $ - £ exchange rate is ludicrously in my favour, I think I'll come down on the "Don't care" side of the fence. I drink more than my domains yearly cost every saturday night.
Are you a US citizen ? Because you talk like one. The "throw-away" society has a lot to answer for. It is not efficient to make things that break, and need replacing. Efficiency doesn't just apply to the power producing capabilities of the panels, it is also a factor in the initial cost of their production.
