Being a victim of fraud means that someone stole your identity and then took money out of your account. Money was taken from YOU. Money laundering, even if it is unknown to the person doing the laundering, is an accessory to a crime. You are helping them "clean" the money they have already stolen.
But combat, just clicking buttons... That'd work better than a keyboard.
That works fine for the bosses where you can stand still and fight. Many of the encounters require you to move around to avoid things, boss repositioning, etc. Now, since the iPad does have Bluetooth, so you could pair it with a wireless mouse and keyboard that would make it a lot easier to play. But at that point, you might as well just buy a laptop and get the keyboard and mouse all built in.
They already did this on the show Eureka. If it all goes bad, just launch a missile at it to make it implode on itself, and it's all good.

Catholic child abuse - and especially the cover-up - was both organized and a crime.
I seriously hope that you are not equating the Catholic Church to the likes of Al Capone and the rest. The organized crime that RICO was made to fight is the people with a purposeful intent to do criminal activities and avoid the law. The Church, as a whole, is not trying to molest kids and get away with it. Trying to hide your mistakes can't be lumped into that same category.
yeah, except now your ISP will also be the holder of all your documents, search history, email, etc....
Just because Google is your ISP, doesn't mean that you have to use Google Docs, Google search or Gmail. If you DO use any of those, they are already the holder of those, so whats the difference??
You didnt have a shop class in high school? I took metal shop and got to play with welding torches. That had a much higher potential for getting seriously hurt than a soldering iron.
One interesting thing I noticed, is that they didnt talk at all about is normal chain-emails. How many times do you receive an email from a friend with some sort of cute story that has been forwarded 10 times before it reaches you. You have to scroll down past 5 pages of email headers, which conveniently contain every email address of people who have been copied on that email. Eventually, one of those chain emails reaches a spammer, and they now have a couple hundred *validated* email addresses to spam to.
Thats why when I (on rare occasion) forward an email, I delete all the previous email headers, and BCC everyone on the list so that the people I send the email to don't get their email address added. Of course, my email address is still shown as the source, so if the people I send to don't follow the same behavior as me, then my address gets added to the forward list.
Source of C&C server != Source of the people responsible.
A C&C server is just another botnet PC that has additional software on it to tell other bots what to do. The human controller logs into their hacked C&C server and programs the instructions for the bots to pull down. You really think the botnet controllers are stupid enough to host their own Command and Control servers at their own site?
Setting the source IP, is exactly something you can flip. There is software, which is essentially a traffic generator, and you can set the source and destination IP address, regardless of the IP address on the system, so that is absolutely possible. Now, regarding your assertion that cable modems wont allow you to spoof your IP, I don't know about that. And yes, most routers have the ability to prevent source spoofing, but whether or not they enable that on every router at every ISP, I doubt it.
Knowing Apple, the RAM modules are not going to be standard memory cards that can be "ripped" out, but integrated into the motherboard. Good luck with that.
That might not necessarily be the case in all situations. What happens if he were to use another blogger to post the articles? How would that be different from the newspaper? Does a blogger not have the right to keep his sources private?
The problem with this, is that you either need to buy the cards at an Apple store or online. If you buy it at the store, you need an actual credit card, and usually they only have the number and not the real card. This also exposes a person to another person, who could possibly be a witness. If you buy it online, Apple will ship you the physical iTunes gift card. You don't get the number online, so there is still an address that can be traced back to someone.
In re-reading your comment, you have a point. If the interconnect link is 1 gigabit (for example) and the router on the other side is trying to send 2GBps through that single link, some of the packets will be dropped, creating a (sort-of) denial of service.
The interconnect routers are all using hardware ASICs for their routing. It is absolutely NO problem for a core Internet router to block an entire subnet/country without a single hiccup.
First of all, I don't think that China could convince Red Hat, or any other commercial vendor to poison their own products to add things like this in. If anything, they would modify the files themselves, and then have their firewall/cache systems return their modified versions instead of the real version. Even if they were able to do that, there are dozens, if not hundreds of Linux distros out there. They cannot convince all, or even most of them to make these changes, so there will still be plenty of ways that Chinese people can get a hold of "un-tainted" Linux distributions.
Schools don't use Kinkos, or even normal copy machines. Didn't you ever see the copy room at your school with that big machine with the wheel that spins when it prints copies? And ohhh, that newly printed smell.... mmmm... Anyway, they have much more cost-effective ways to print than normal copy machines.
At any rate, I would think that if the schools made the decision to move to electronic copies, they would have a policy that prevents teachers from using school resources to print hard copies, except for special cases. Now, if the teacher/parent wants to spend their own money to print a paper copy, then fine. The school isn't paying for it then.
I dont know about you, but I dont like reading lengthy documents on a computer screen. Yes, I spend all day looking at a computer screen at work, but if I have to read a manual or a training document, I prefer to read a paper copy than an online version. Online is good for searching for a particular word, but if you have to read a chapter, it's easier to read it on paper. Also, and I have no data to back this up, I think that looking at a computer screen causes more eye strain than looking at a printed copy. There is also the repetitive motion of having to click the mouse or trackpad or page-down button while they are reading their homework assignment. With the size of the computer screens, you will be clicking every few second to scroll the page, compared to turning a page every few minutes or so. Is the next generation of kids going to end up getting carpal tunnel syndrome at age 18?
On another note, if all the books are online, how are kids going to draw mustaches on all the pictures in their history books?:)
That's why the parent doesn't give the kid the full access to the credit card. They buy him the iTunes gift cards in pre-determined amounts. The kid gets $20 worth of music/apps/in-game-credits, and once they have been spent, there are no more until the next birthday/etc. You hear the same story about kids racking up thousand dollar cell phone bills from sending 500 text messages a day. If you give your kid a toy that requires payment to use, YOU, the parent, need to control how much can be spent on it.

PR department isn't concerned with making a profit.
Maybe not directly, but bad PR is bad for profit. PR is a way to avoid loss of profit.
inversely affects the quality of discussion if there's a million "me too" responses
I agree
If you are fine with eating grass all day, I'm sure there is an opening.

reads email and surfs the wab
I wonder how much of that time is spent reading blags...

Since the source IS the journalist in this case

I would certainly hope that humans would be able to visit Mars in less than a few billion years time.

TFA: "Ligesh [from LxLabs] was also still coming to terms with the suicides by hanging of his sister and mother five years ago."
I suspect that this was the result of a lot of bad things going on in his life, and not just because of the software issues.
