Setup a merchant, possibly in another country, and use those cards on that merchant. If you've got those details, transfer via western union, their bank, or similar.
Beyond that, this does sound like a high number. Though, given how much banking is done online now, if the botnet is setup to sniff their login and password for their bank website, they can use this and the banks website to move whatever money they want.
I like how you eliminated the part which makes her atypical, then said how it's fairly typical. You re-write the context, then say that it's not what the other commenter said, as if that somehow made sense. You do realize that the "20 years of C programming" was what made her atypical right? It wasn't that she was a grandmother, or that she's a feminist, or that she finds it offensive. All of those are perfectly normal things. Since you removed the absurd part, and still felt the need to comment on the normal stuff, my guess is you see these normal things as somewhat odd. It's really weird.
So, following your lead... Why didn't you mention that this sort of thing would be atypical in Pakistan? Sure, it may be true everywhere else, but possibly not in Pakistan.
This article is ridiculous. Yes, he had some good points. He'd have to be absolutely rambling crazy to have NO good points. Much like Nostradamus, only small fractions of his work are ever analyzed at once, and those small fractions are then held to have some significant meaning, which isn't necessarily clear.
The first point this guy makes is terrible... Immiseration: "Marx claimed that... real wages would fall, and working conditions would deteriorate." The article completely ignores the "working conditions would deteriorate" segment of that, and I don't think anyone would say working conditions have deteriorated. If they did, they'd be an idiot. Okay, ignoring that, lets look at the first half of that. He lists a source which itself says that the bottom 90%'s wages have stagnated. Now, for a better source when we look at this we see a vastly different picture. We see that it has declined from its position in 74, but has grown since 84. However, you also need to realize that the method that was used to calculate this, is deeply troublesome and can lead to completely opposite conclusions depending on the basket of goods chosen. Each year that basket gets better, and needs to be adjusted to reflect this. Here is a better article on this.
From there on out, the article only gets worse.
However, I'm sure he's managed to garner a lot of clicks by writing an inflammatory simplistic article, so in their book, mission accomplished.
Lame. I hear this over and over again. This is a "when are things equal" problem, where you don't believe that something is 'truly' what someone else thinks it is.
You can say it's never been tried. But that's a fucking lie. The resultant systems, which you don't see as 'actual tries', are the culmination of attempting to bring about the very type of system you dream about. Ergo, it's the best of what can be achieved.
Not only that, but it's been tried, in many different ways, all over the world.
What I'd rather, is a continuously variable timezone. Such that, the sun actually is "as overhead as it will get" at midday. This would make it a lot better standard to work with. Such that it's not arbitrary, there aren't large sudden jumps (DST), etc. What you'd have to do to set your clock/watch, is put in the date, and some variable based on where you are. Perhaps it's a GPS location, or similar. Whatever variables the time function uses.
While this doesn't mean you can go "we all meet at 12pm" to people on opposite sides of the globes, it does means that the difference between you too should be a constant (within reason). Programs would merely need to know the formula, and wouldn't need to be perpetually updated due to "government decided to change things".
I hate the arbitrary-ness of clock time, so I think about this quite a lot, and I think this might be the best method.
So, if everyone chips in 25 cents per kid, they can go to school for that extra day.
Are you kidding me? This is a serious "cut"?
This reminds me more about Bill Maher's plate of food, they're talking about cutting the parsley (education), while ignoring the mashed potato (military spending), and macaroni (social security).
Nah. His bridges only go to no where. Also, a train is more like a dump truck, and Ted "The Tubes" Stevens hate dump trucks. I mean, sure, this one's traveling through a tube, maybe even a series of tubes, but it's still a dump truck.
How about, if you've setup the infrastructure for serious power transmission, you could do like Germany, and just get Russia to build the nuclear power plants, which provide you with the power. Not in my back yard? Sure. It's in Russia's back yard.
I and a lot of my friends do this. Specifically, all of my friends who work as teachers, are all on there with pseudonyms, and other friends who don't want their careers tarnished by their profiles.
I know it's a serious problem for me, and many others. Fuck Facebook's rules, I'll do what I want.
You could define those concepts alike. The terms "safety" and "better behaviour" aren't mutually exclusive sets. While some things that are "safety" related, wouldn't be "better behaviour" related, and vice versa. However, this doesn't mean that there isn't a lot of overlap between them.
Good point. Just read the wiki, and quickly googled around, and given the additional evidence on top of the poem, and what Robert Frost himself alluded to, it makes perfect sense.
First question was posted by "turing_m", then you said "What is thought?" only a bot trying to pass itself off as a person would ask such a stupid question.
Wow, that sounds like hell to me. I wouldn't be able to access most the services I run.
Also, what worm, made since Windows XP upgraded it's firewall to "barely functional", still relies on direct connections? I call bullshit. That's not a feature. Almost all of them, to get around the advent of NAT and firewalls, call out to a command server. Often encrypted traffic too. So, while you say "most worms", you actually mean "few worms", since most worms have multiple attack method (well, the major ones do), and some of those methods, are passive, such as infecting websites, flash drives, emails, etc.
The only feature, is that it makes BitTorrent and other P2P more annoying to deal with, but doesn't stop them. This is more a feature for the ISP, and is likely how they can afford to offer these faster connections for the lower price... because using your connection, is hard.
And that's really annoying for end users. I'm on an ISP that does transparent proxying of some sources, like Wikipedia. Every now and then it stuffs up, and I suddenly can't access Wikipedia, or I suddenly get strange "functionality" that other people don't.
How does it handle dynamic code? Eg, when does it know to send you a cached copy, and when to send you a fresh one.
This sounds similar to a start-up I heard about a while ago, can't remember the name though. Either way, if they implement this well, this could be an awesome service.
Yeah, this is somewhat annoying about the *nix related culture, and sometimes they make adoption a bit harder for outsiders.
But if you think THOSE names are weird, then you haven't really used any Linux distro, have you?
The examples you've provided, aren't bad/weird names, in comparison.
"Are you running that Debian derived distro, you know, the version Obtuse Ocelot? Ubuntu, that's it! Yeah, well I installed GIMP on there, because I wanted to make an image I could share through Apache, and burn on to a DVD with XCDRoast, however I couldn't find a good sound track in my CD collection that Toaster could rip. So instead, I just dd'd/dev/random out to a file a few times, till Noatun played a reasonably nice sound. Then packaged it all up, and burnt it. It was all really easy in Gnome."
And you're complaining about Git, Ruby, Subversion, and Eclipse. Hell, Subversion is a perfectly fine name. Very descriptive, just could be a bit ambiguous "So you take the sub-version and commit it to Subversion".
I think the 35% is actually more likely, people who have loved the phones that have come out, their plan contract is completed, and they're waiting for the iPhone 5, to upgrade.
I know I'm in that boat, as are ~5 of my friends. We've all had them before, and we're waiting to upgrade. We don't want a 4, because then we'll be stuck with it, while the 5 is just around the corner. Which would be annoying. I've liked these phones since the 3, and each model out has been good, so I've nothing to suspect the 5 won't be good. More so, it's upgradin' time. I'm currently paying for the same contract, but without paying off the phone, this means the carrier is making uber monies. I'm in limbo. Apple, at least gimme a time line so I can make an informed choice.
The 65% are people who might want it later, or are still on a plan contract.

From memory, this is a quote. I think it was from XKCD. That's why it's perpetually posted, and +1 Funny'd.
Can't find the link to the original atm.

You failed.
Move on.
Sure beats arguing on /.
NO IT DOESN'T!

Another good thing to get rid of would be AM/PM.
Here's a better statistic. The internet says there are 199,616 kids in South Dakota.
So, if everyone chips in 25 cents per kid, they can go to school for that extra day.

Thanks, though some really thought I was serious.
He knows the movie idea has limitless potential, but he just wants to know what the name of it was.

So yes. Ben spoke thus.
Good point. Just read the wiki, and quickly googled around, and given the additional evidence on top of the poem, and what Robert Frost himself alluded to, it makes perfect sense.
Also, this is a way better ending.

Can't remember the name though.
