As some one who deals with security on a daily basis, I have seen tools to prevent this.
What happens is someone advertises say 10 K cards for sale. They actually package 15 K cards in the pack, when the user gets the pack they have a robot ap that goes and makes purchases from shops that are on the internet and are known to be able to easycard fraud friendly. The robots order something quickly like a $20 cable or piece of merchandise. If its declined the card is dropped from the database.
Once all the cards are checked if the buy has close to 10 K they don't care. If less then say 8 K they get another chunk of 4 K to go at again. Until they get close to the 10 K they were promised. This is how the good groups do it. The ones who don't care just sell in chunks of 5 K to 10 K with no guarantees.
Now they also can use another system for cards to do quick transactions checks just like paypal would do to check if the card is valid. Small bump purchase then issue a refund if they want to hide from the owner of the card.
I have to monitor these "groups" as I need to make sure that none of my servers are being used in their scams. A good security guy keeps his eye on everything ! And yes we monitor IRC and other methods of chatter to see if any of our servers have been compromised.
Everyone has a passion even kids ! How bout we foster their passions and let them grow with their passion ! at that point we will become a stronger nation.
That is hard to believe both Lenovo and HP make solid workstations... for now anyway.
Apple is relying on ssd on the pci bus to gain speed, sorry to say this but those ssd drives have a short life span when used for heavy lifting. Currently my workstation is a lenovo and runs sas, with a raid 10 set of 4 900 gig 15 k drives. Blindly fast and quiet. Dual 10 Core Xeons and 32 gigs of ram, I can run most anything on my workstation and it doesn't break a sweat. It's solid even in 80 degree heat here in colombia.
I run linux, and use a macbook for mobility. Hiring based on seeing what workstation someone selects is just a bad way to even joke about getting talent in the door. My Lenovo has a 4k price tag to our business, show me an apple product that low with those specs and I'll be the first to line up to purchase.
I live in a municipality zone at the moment for power, and they don't buy back power at all, matter of fact they won't even give credits for what solar will put back into their system. How this is legal, I don't know but stuff like this needs to be addressed, and it's easily addressed by giving the customer credit for half of what they produce on the bill.
servers sir don't need desktops ! and there we have high penetration, unfortunately companies are starting to right gui only installers for linux, we the server geeks don't want a damn desktop on our servers. we want to squeeze as much performance as we can out of the hardware !
There is a real need for dedicated IT staff.Especially if your building customers environments.
I'd hate to say it but I have seen this first hand. Firstly security is ignored, and secondly there has to e a level of over site.
Im a systems admin for a fortune 500 and in charge of security, you don't even know how many times "staff" have setup a replica of the customers environment and missed the security aspect or even forgot huge parts of the environment or even misconfigured half of it and we could not replicate bugs. My team goes in and notices this stuff off the bat.
There needs to be dedicated staff because core infrastructure should not be pieced together, It should be engineered, when not properly engineered and just thrown together based on what people want.... This usually ends up ina giant mess, which dedicated staff are called in to unravel and repair.
Apparently with the "pay" he was receiving he was not smart enough to use his home internet service for relaying the chinese traffic to the server.... Guess some times managers don't think it all through,,, give him a job as a vp !
Just pray for the inevitable heart attack and hope it kills you. Life inside the tiny walls that are a cubicle sucks! Even the prison work out doesn't help ! I happily wait for my demise !
Ah the PS3 has had so many custom firmwares written for it that they have to cycle the firmware versions just to break the older firmware.
What Version 4.11 or something of the such now ? Not to mention that people have learned to sign their own packages for it ? Guessing you have not done a basic web search for security info eh.... to much to expect I suppose ?
we all don't drive tanks, but many of us require an all wheel drive vehicle because of snow fall and heavy rain fall.
The main problem is these people preaching for the public transit that the uk or others have , just don't seem to understand we are spread out a lot more then other countries and many folks , can't afford to live near their work. Also with current companies not keeping employees much longer then 4 years, because investors want more profit and we are too expensive, people would be moving everywhere and not able to lay roots like our parents in the past have. You can't sustain population growth like that either. 2 kids in a 2 room "flat" with 700 sq ft. just is not an option for growth.
The logic of people sometimes fails to take into account that the world is not just black and white.
That would make it so that the people own the oil. That is socialism !
I feel that the oil comes from the us the us should own it, meaning its an asset we have , the government should contract out the extraction, and sell it to refiners the refiners then should be able to sell it, but a % should be left in the us to meet our needs.
Sorry to tell you but fc16 is still bad. I have resorted to using it for its shell only from a Mac book.
Unfortunately 80 percent of my scripting is done for fedora cents and red hat. 10 for aix and 10 for os x servers. So I need it, or I would have moved to any other os that still has gnome 2.
Why not just turn on windows auto update fix whatever maybe stopping auto update from running and plant the removal tool on windows update. If done via the bot nets control servers who can really tell who did it ?
Just asking this but kaspersky is Russian and no extradition right. They can kick it off with barely any worries.
Nothing chemically easy to break the bond ? Kind of sucks but oh well, what do we do with it once collected ? feed it to real tree's ? At that point why not just plant real tree's ?
Yeah , then Verizon or AT&T will sell it as 5g and lower the caps even more producing an even more overly inflated bill, all while a senator tells us that this is needed because a truck has crashed in the internets tubes causing a backup of bits which are not being processed fast enough to fight the war on terror.
And it will only cost 45 Trillion to get the technology into the right peoples hands.
All joking now done, the cameras on those planes must be feeding extremely high def video back to the mothership to use that much bandwidth.

No way , it's not like broadband is every where in Russia, and Skype is not even remotely a possibility !
The real question is , will Microsoft shut down Skype for the NSA so he can't testify ?
Because that part of the atm is heavily protected, whereas the usb port is behind a plastic panel.

Why would you do that ?
That would make it so that the people own the oil. That is socialism !
I feel that the oil comes from the us the us should own it, meaning its an asset we have , the government should contract out the extraction, and sell it to refiners the refiners then should be able to sell it, but a % should be left in the us to meet our needs.
Now that is good news, might have to give that a shot.

Im guessing we could also figure a way to pull the the carbon from the mix and reburn it ?
It may be trivial when done on a large scale, anything recapturing this carbon is a major plus.
Yeah , then Verizon or AT&T will sell it as 5g and lower the caps even more producing an even more overly inflated bill, all while a senator tells us that this is needed because a truck has crashed in the internets tubes causing a backup of bits which are not being processed fast enough to fight the war on terror.

So this didn't come from china and have lead paint ? How insightful of you.
