yeah right. or those of us that understand the system well enough not to need to pay the $2000 my CPA charges me to do a few simple depreciation schedules and some share transactions. Those of us with money have it precisely because we know how best to utilize it and don't needlessly throw it away, at less than a days work I am happy to sacrifice a couple of evenings to do it myself and keep the couple of grand.
most toxic substance known to man??? their are chemicals where just a drop is enough to kill thousands of people. I would doubt this stuff even rates in the top 10. stuff like botox, ricin, sarin, cyanide and a raft of other chemicals are far more toxic and for the many of them quite common.
how is it dishonest? the source was quoted, it was said. Can't personally comment on how accurate the comment is but in what way is citing a quote with appropriate citation dishonest?
why even bother? it isn't like that space is valuable. The most you could conceivably get for it was the lowest online cloud provider charges, which for most people is ZERO. why would anyone actually be willing to pay money in this scenario when there are so many free options that you can put your encrypted content into for free. Google drive, onedrive, dropbox etc etc
most of the world is sadly in one death cult or another, be it islam, Christianity, Judaism etc etc. yes the world would be better off without them but that isn't going to happen.
I setup a large NAS for myself recently too (24TB), loads of free space which I would happily rent out. But be buggered if I will share out my bandwidth which is many times more valuable than the space on my NAS.
resizing etc is not CPU intensive and unless you are using some truly god aweful filters or have a terrible setup, you still are looking at relatively low CPU utilization where an i7 is still overkill.
if you have an i7 as a HTPC then most likely 7 of your cores are asleep 90% of the time, a second core would occasionally be doing some stuff.cores. The rest would be pretty well unused unless you have some serious issues with your setup. my HTPC uses a core i3 and even that is massive overkill and provides flawless HD playback.
yes. Your OS is pretty well irrelevant when talking about multi threaded loads, windows, Linux and BSD all do it well. But the applications and actual workloads that benefit are far less common.
The average user, even gamers getting little to no benefit of going from an i5 to an i7. you may be doing some particular workloads that do benefit, but that would definitely put you in the minority of users.
The Act goes on to say. "This deception must be the cause of the obtaining". i.e you actually need to show that the lie is what lead to them getting the payment, it isn't enough just to have lied.
As I said they are NOT obtaining monetary advantage by deception and I think it would be damn hard to argue they are in any court. The settlement is legitimate, the offense is legitimate, they are entitled to make such a settlement. Yes they are providing incorrect advise, but that isn't fraud.
yes I did. The problem is while they are lieing bastards there is no gain by deception here, the settlement is legitimate and the copyright owners are indeed entitled to settle. Yes the consequences are BS but that is a separate issue, they should be stopped from sending this stuff but it isn't fraud even though it most definitely is misleading.
they aren't defrauding them of anything though, yes it is a lie, but a lie in itself is not fraud and the sections you highlighted are not relevant as they are in regards to gaining a financial benefit by deceit which in this instance they are not.
Sorry I can't agree that it will always come out on top, the flawed assumption here is that it is playing against something or someone that are making sufficient number of mistakes to profit from. It is also playing from incomplete data, so while it can always make calculated decisions based on odds, that is not always the correct decision in poker.
each new fab is using cutting edge equipment, equipment that itself is custom built and takes a long time. a fab is more the equivalent of a very large cutting edge scientific research lab rather than a factory.
from what I can see the loss you would make by keeping bitcoin for the last 12 months is exponentially worse than inflation on a bank account. https://blockchain.info/charts...
If you are going to the effort of putting them in a bank anyway, why not just convert them to real money and earn interest in the bank on a term deposit, then you get the benefit of it being in a bank AND having banking regulation and government backed insurance if the bank is robbed, goes bankrupt etc etc.
The concorde could half your time and it was developed and commissioned in the 70's, it proved not cost effective or successful enough to develop a commercial successor. People want faster travel, but they are not willing to pay for it.
you seem to be missing the point. They have full access to the machine already, they can send them from the persons OWN email account. They could just as easily change the malware to first email everyone from the machine they have infected then proceed to encrypt the files.

it deletes LOCAL VSS copies. He is talking about server based VSS, which if you have turned on would indeed give you a good recovery option.

So 15 separate places for your entire bitcoin networth to be stolen from. Sounds like a wonderful idea.
