Don't feel that bad, I bought exchange server, back in the 90's, and the seller went to great length's to disguise the NFR license. Out $800.00. $30 is pretty small tuition, though it sucks to get shafted no matter what the amount.
FYI - I new this guy was a scammer, but I had to fuck with him. FBI did nothing.

Dear Sellers,
I'm writing to inquire about bidding on your G5 powermacs:
I am curious though, how is it that two different sellers have identical description
headers? The
following description, "Only used once for mixing down an album and returned to
the box. FULLY
LOADED!! Tons of software (contact for details) The computer and monitor were
purchased at the
same time (end of March 2005), so both the computer and display are eligible to
be covered
under AppleCare. Both the computer and display are in new condition, and are in
the retail box,"
seems too unique to be authored by different individuals. One Mac is in NY and
the other in DC,
which should decrease the probability of duplicate descriptions. Please explain.
Also, I know this
a strange request, but please bare with me, would you mind registering for a free
gmail account
at google and using that for email correspondence? I am serious about a G5
powermac purchase
and I'm excited to place a bid or to buy-it-now.

Dragosi,
I'm really excited about the new G5. I live in Ash Fork, Arizona. My street address
is 704 Pine Ave
and the zip is 86320. We don't have western union here. It is a small town in the
desert, we do
have a post office though, so I can overnight a money order. The closest place
that has western
union is Williams about 20 miles away. I have been saving up to get a car, but I
figure with a new
computer I might be able to get a real server up and running and start a small
online business
selling the local crafts. There are a lot of native people here and they make crafts
but have no
way to sell them online.
Hi Ok i am glad to close a deal with you here it is my payment adress :
First name : Dragosy
Last name : Allin
Adress : 82 Morley Avenue
City : London
Country : United Kingdom
Zip code : N22 6NG
all you have to do now it is to find the nearst western union office and make the
payment there (
to locate 1 please go at www.westernunion.com http://www.westernunion.com/>
and chose
the option FIND AGENT LOCATION ) after that you will have to send the
payment from your name
and adress to my name and adress after the payment will be made , please
email me the
payment details : sender name , receiver name , and MTCN and if it is posible

I got the impression that China's biggest fear was it's own people; and rightly so, there are a lot of them. From an arm-chair-quarter-back perspective, I think that as long as they can maintain prosperity, the masses will be appeased, which is what the Chinese government wants. Full employment is probably there number one goal -- it should be ours too.
High quality goods are a lot less expensive in China. Many of the new shopping malls in China have over twice the square footage as the pentagon. Though they make less money it goes farther. Also comparing GDP per person doesn't work well when the ratio is on the order of 4:1. When you factor the change in working population the China's GDP per person isn't bad. With the growth rate of a conservative %8, the GDP per person in China will double in 10 years, making them the number one player. A number one player with a much lower payroll that goes farther.
I suppose if we default, then they will forclose and liquidate. If the dollar declines then repayment is made easier with less valuable dollars, however that makes it harder for US residents to purchase goods and services -- the inflation senario. It does however make our labor cheaper.
If the dollar remains strong, then interest rates remain low allowing for lower cost debt.
The best solution is the local production of goods and services that have strong world-wide demand and yield good profit. Robots may kill the labor cost issue over the next 20 years, however, then there will be the question of how will people make money in the absense of jobs.
Consider going to Bejing, Shanghai or Hong Kong. You might feel differently about US domination. Having been there, I could only conclude that the US was a third world country in the making and that Asia cities represent the ultra modern future we all aspire toward. If you go to Shanghai you should try the sooper high speed mag-lev train.
I was really surprised by the whole energy of the place. When I went to McDonalds and they didn't have my food immediately, they said no problem we will find you and bring it to you when its ready. 2 min latter I had my fries. This particular McDonald's had around 30 registers all open. They said that they served 6000 lunches everyday -- just nuts. You won't find any fast food resturant in the US that can manage that volume and provide good service too.
The only downside was all the street vendors, which annoyed our tour guide. She said that they all had day jobs, but would often call in sick to go run side businesses to make extra money.
In closing, the US needs to sell $3,000,000,000 in bonds everyday to China just to keep running. If they really wished us harm they could just stop buying our debt. Once China no longer relies on exports we will be at their mercy. That will happen in around 10 - 20 years just when the US needs money to fund SS payments to baby-boomers.
I read, in the nytimes, they were trying to tax the ipod in Japan by the rational you described. In japan they tax cd players and the revenue goes to the music industry. They claim cd's are just the media cost, not the listening cost. I think I need to go to the library with my laptop and rip some more cd's, dvd's and make photo copies. I wonder when libraries will be sued for providing free books, music and movies?
were to forgo the DRM requirement, then Napster could sell plain-old mp3's that would work great on the ipod. So it begs the question as to why Napster is complaining about apple when they should complain to the RIAA. Why don't they say the truth, DRM causes the platform compatibilty problem, not the devices that play the music.
Well, I have visited the GTX website and here is what they had to say, on page one,
"What if you could deliver high-quality multimedia with superior Quality of Service (QoS) performance and control over standard broadband lines-today? "
I know graph theory is not for pussies. However, I don't see how the same psychology that recycles 10 year old marketing messages can transcend into the sooper-genuis of the Hal-9000.
When you call 911, tell them, "this guy just walked-up and capped a police officer, shot 'em in da head." You will recieve instantaneous service no matter where you are. Do make sure it is a real emergency.
the south had won/draw the civil war. Call this flamebait cause of the slavery issue But, the war was also about a state's right to supercede federal law.
Well, then we need more wi-fi enabled frogs to eat mosquitos; preferably frogs that produce that thing called 5-meo-dmt, I understand dogs like it. Or was that lick-it.
By density do you mean m/v? It seems reasonable that space has volume. However, what about mass in a vacuum? The idea that space-time has properties that are independent from the matter which it contains certainly sounds plausible. If so, who will be the first to master their manipulation?
Without the right to complain, sexual harassment can continue unhindered. I will be able to make happy comments about personal appearances related to sexuality all day long. All positive and complimentary; Awesome. May the best skirt win. Bonus points for obvious thongs and diaphanous clothing.
was planning on surrendering to the secret gulag to begin my sentence, but alas I can't find it. Would someone please let the authorities know I'm at 48 e 26th street in baltimore. I haven't done anything wrong... I just figured the sooner I put this part of my life behind me the better.

The air is certainly on the thick side. So is the traffic -- it made LA, DC and NY traffic look thin, well not quite thin, just not as bad.
