Erm. Probably, if you promised not to make money off it, or promised to donate any money you made to charity.
There's a german effort underway to convert Lords & Ladies into a movie (this was previously covered on Slashdot). TP gave his blessing to that. All proceeds go to charity.
The project has already wrapped shooting and is in post production.
True. In South Africa, you pay around $100/month for a 512k line with a 2GB cap. You pay per megabyte if you go over. This is seen as doing the consumer a favour - only pay for what you actually use.
It's like having a Ferrari with a two pint fuel tank.
I have to say, with some embarrasment, that I posted the "Rubbish" post above before reading TFA. The article does not describe the Barron's work as "The Birth of Electronic Music". It simply states that they were "pioneers".
Which is true. Which means that the article summary above is just a teeny bit dodgy. Perhaps fm6 had also not RTFA?
This is hardly the first electronic music. That honour goes to some American chaps in the late 1890's, who devised a giant machine that played the Victorian equivalent of lift music. The concept was to pipe this music over wires into restaurants and clubs all over town, to save the venues the cost of maintaining house bands.
They even had a successful rollout, with mellow, unoffensive tinkelings broadcast citywide. However, the exercise was doomed to failure because it was extremely costly to keep running. Ultimately, it shut down.
Electronic Musician ran an article on this a few years back. I'd quote you reference but I am currently around 14 hours flight from my home.
It's a South African bank, I think the minimum balance is about R20 (about $3.50). There are no service charges related to the actual web interface. The intention is to encourage you to use less cash.
Hmm. You're probably right, there should be some kind of safeguard in place. The article doesn't mention that there isn't, though. It just says that the bank didn't raise an eyebrow when money was transferred to Latvia. Unless the majority of transfers to Latvia are fraudulent, I don't know why they would.
I'm not for a second implying that what happened was his fault. But I'm pretty certain that there must have been a warning system - even if it was only email. It's pretty much standard these days.
My bank has advanced security. You get issued with a hardware device (fits on your keyring) that generates one-time-use passwords for you to use to log on.
Further, whenever a transaction occurs on any of your accounts, you immediately receive a text message on your mobile phone. If you didn't authorize the transaction, you can challenge it.
I'm not sure this guy has much of a leg to stand on.

My favourite part of the 10Q filing is in 10Qa, under "Other Assets".
It reads:

... the best part of both vids is the soundtrack. That kid sounds so cute! esp the "My pizzaaa!" bit.
You are also 100% correct.

Big lump of stuff, roundish, spinning a bit, usually orbiting a, um, star thingy. Might have aliens on, but probably not. Probably.
