If he would have owned a bank and not 0wned them, he could have gotten away with a lot more then just 100.000.000. I wonder how accurate that figure is. Is it just an attempt or is it the actual figure he would have been able to spend if he would not have been caught?
I suspect he did not get that money and the number is just everything added that can be pointed to theft, including pens and staplers and the electricity bill used to run the servers.
If it was actually 100M he could have been able to spend, then I can only applaud him. I have seen people be fired over stealing 2USD worth of stuff. That is totally not worth it. But 100M? Stoopid he bragged about it, but that is how must get caught. Either bragging or snitches.
Americans live to work. Others work to live. Huge difference. I have one co worker that has a second job. He works almost all the time. Everybody is saying he is crazy, as he is unable to spend time with his family where he works so many hours for.
And then he needs to lie to get a few hours off here and there. This will be a huge influence on his evaluation and the decision if he will be with us for much longer.
If he would concentrate on one company, he would be able to spend time with his family AND be able to build out a career. Now? Not so sure.
There are not only offices for business puposes in Europe, but also a lot of hardware. So they can either close shop in Europe and let their servers do everything from outside Europe, or they can comply to the law.
What will happen is that they will comply with the law after they (tried to) edit it to their advantage.
It is a public place in that it is accessible to the public. This means e.g. no smoking as that is the law. Even if they wanted (which they don't) to allow smoking, I am sure that they won't be allowed, because it is a public place.
As there is already at least 1 law that has priority over what they want to do on their property, I can imagine a law that would forbid the tracking of human cattle as well.
I am sure there are many other laws that regulate what they can or can not do and not be able to use the defense: But it is their park.
I see an issue with all that. Just because it already exists does not mean that I am happy with it. The RFID is just something else I have a problem with.
It is indeed not 1984. It is the prequel. I have no fear of my privacy taken away from me. I am afraid of others GIVING theirs away. Because that means that I will not have mine anymore in the end. I know that many people do not believe that untill it will be too late.
Privacy is a bit like virginity. You can only loose it once.
I hate it when people DON'T touch my screen when they want to point something out on my screen. Instead they point from somewhere behind me and say 'Look here'. I then have to guess what they are pointing at, taking in consideration the angle I am looking at and the angle they are looking at.
Touch the screen already, so we know both what we are talking about and we can get on with our work.
If the screen is dirty, I will clean it. I do that about once a month. Perhaps where you are work, people are very dirty. I work in an average office, where people are standard clean.
Oh and if it is easier, please take over my mouse and keyboard as well. I care more about the job then about a smear on my screen. If a smear on the screen would happen, I rather take the extra 10 seconds to clean the screen then the extra 5 minutes to explain where we were looking at.
There is a solution for you. Install a second mouse for 'guests' that they can use to go around on your screen or give them a laser pointer.
This migfht be closer to the truth then you think: I Can't Believe It's Not Butter! is owned by Unilever. Unilever is Dutch. Dr Mark Post is Dutch doing the research in The Netherlands
I do mind. The important factors are taste and structure. Both are from how the animal has lived. If the animal walked around free, the meat will be less tender as the muscles have done more work. (meat is muscle) Because there was more training, the muscles are not only a bit harder, they also had more blood going through them. This means more taste.
And that is why steak is still way off. Pizza toppings are proceeded foods that have little to do with meat, except its origin.
Without it, they can sell IPs for nice amounts without paying for it themselves. For ISPs it would even be nice to just give everybody a 10.x.x.x address (as they do with phones) so you can not run any server, or with very much work.
It is much better and easier to control on many levels of control.
So why would they go to IPv6, which will cost money, while sticking with IPv4 will bring in money.
Pleasure is a great return on investment. Many people invest time (and much more) into games. Some are sports. Others are computers. And yet others comment online on what people should or should not do.
Been thinking about getting cable again as it comes really cheap with an fibre internet bundle I'm looking at and I miss the whole "just watch whatever is on" experience.
Don't be tempted. It just is not worth it. You have Youtube and Vimeo and a lot of other things. There are several cheap devices where you can install something like xbmc. Next you can download almost any tv show.
I have had a lapse back by taking cable again. I have again stopped, because it was just not worth it. Now I talk about more interesting stuff with my friends as they realize they can not just talk about the TV show that was on yesterday. I picked up reading again. Much more interesting then watching TV like a zombie.
I would as well, but then my Mayan community told me that the world would end, because the calender only went till December 31st. So I partied like, well, it was the end of the world. You can imagine my disappointment.

With the censorship, it is better to go via google.co.uk anyway.
And the have serveral European offices including some in the EU.

Well, if you want the same kind of roads, just vote the guy into office who promises to build you those roads like they did in Germany.
(what? Too soon? And yes, he was elected.)

Governements do. ISPs don't.
Without it, they can sell IPs for nice amounts without paying for it themselves. For ISPs it would even be nice to just give everybody a 10.x.x.x address (as they do with phones) so you can not run any server, or with very much work.

I'm a manager, you insensitive clod.
Please understand what you are saying.
Pleasure is a great return on investment. Many people invest time (and much more) into games. Some are sports. Others are computers. And yet others comment online on what people should or should not do.
I am sure advertisers want you to have it as well.
OTOH I wish Piracy and Theft were the same. You could kill a guy while stealing a CD and you will be better off then when RIAA gets after you.
Don't be tempted. It just is not worth it. You have Youtube and Vimeo and a lot of other things.

It is allowed if you agree with the Politburo. Then you can assemble and speak as much as you like.
