Keep in mind however, that many transactions must be reported to the IRS. If you buy a car for over 10,000$ and pay cash, the IRS gets notified...
It is what it is, and I agree with you about the need for specific complaints/warrants, but the IRS pretty much does what they want...
Also, do a search on jail terms for knowingly evading taxes. The IRS doesn't play around. I would advocate a national sales tax, but that is another discussion...
And although I agree with your major point, I don't agree with your statement You don't think any American paypal user has legitimate ties to one of 30 countries? (emphasis mine). That type of argument can be used to defend anything. In a nation of 300 million people, you can always show a few people who have a legitimate use for something. Sort of like how there can be a protest with 1 million people on one side and 10 on the other, and the media shows 10 people from each side and it looks like a balanced protest...
I get a bunch of 1099s every year from my investment income- and the IRS gets copies... How is that much different?
If PayPal wants to act like a bank, they should, well, act like a bank.
I am all for a simpler tax code, and lower taxes. But until that happens, why should we all be bled dry by the IRS while people with accounts in tax havens get the advantages?
In all seriousness, how many good reasons could there be for a US citizen to have an account in a tax haven?
Whatever- You have been 0wn3d! You can never compete with my vastly superior intellect!!!!! Eat a dick up!!!
Damn you've been 0wn3d again!
PS- btw I did have an Apple IIc back in the 80s. It was a nice machine. And it was never in my garage! Oh- You have been 0wn3d again! I proved your insults were not based upon fact! Alex P in da House!!! Give it up!!!
You know I'm the man! Yup Yup Yup. Say it! You have been 0wn3d!!!!!
You are the FAG! oh yeah you have been 0wn3d again, bitch!
Bow down to be bitch, because I own you!!
Alex P, Out! PEACE!!!!
HAHA! I win! My superior wit has driven the little troll bitch back under his rock (or into his parent's basement.)
My friend, don't come to a battle of wits if you are unarmed! Alex P Keaton in Da RULES!!!!!!!!
Once again, I have proven that patience and intelligence will beat a whiney little troll anytime...
Take note my friends! The forces of good have been victorious again!!!
I fo one am upset about the term crippling... Cripple is not the prefered nomenclature....
The headline should read: Developer stress Physically Challenging game innovation...
You don't want to look over your shoulder and see a pissed off "Handi-capable" activist bearing down on you in a Rascal Power Chair... www.rascalscooters.com
Maybe I am a FAG!! because the thought of you following me around Slashdot from topic to topic, being so lame as to search for me, with your penis out of your pants and in your hand, stroking it while you think of me, is strangely erotic. It is sort of nice to know you are obsessed with me... Now I know how John Stamos, 1990's heart-throb, feels. Do you have a pic? I am getting flush, my heart is racing.....

An Introduction To Whitedust
The Whitedust Security Portal is an attempt to bring back the now forgotten way to repaying the community by putting material of interest back into it. While many diverse sources of security news and articles are available on the internet, few of those sources are specifically targetted at the security community and none of them are unbiased. Known for bringing quality security news, articles and resources to IS professionals all over the world, the Whitedust name stands for integrity.
Whitedust is expected to become the most popular supplier of security information to the EU and the United States. This vision of a new security content landscape is attributed to Whitedust's dedication to always present timely and current news.
Mission Statement
Having firmly established ourselves as the leading independent security news portal, Whitedust is now the leading distributor of timely and current uncut security news. As we push past our 1st anniversary, Whitedust will capture the attention of an even larger readership by maintaining our unique tradition of reporting the news as it happens, not when it suits us.
Like it or not, bottom feeding scum is subjective.
When they are in court making you money, they are geniuses...
When they are in court taking your money, they are scum...
Sort of like how defense attorneys are thought of scum sometimes, yet if you were charged with something, you would want the bottomest feeding scumiest one you could find...
I have one, but almost never use it. It is nice to know it is there, in case I need to take pictures for insurance purposes (like of the aftermath of an auto wreck).
The times I have used it have been to "talk" to my wife, like before Thanksgiving she sent me to buy a Turkey, and I couldn't decide so I took pictures of two of them, and sent them to her and she told me which one to get.
Perhaps the turkey story isn't as interesting as having a camera just in case you see some bare breasts.. but hey...
What is WoW?
I just read my replies at -1 and realized I have a stalker. That shows what a full and rich life you must have!
And no, I'm not gay. I have no problem at all with gay people however. I am actually married with kids. And when I joined the military, it was just before don't ask don't tell, and when they asked me if I was gay, I was able to honestly say "no." Anyway, I appreciate your taking the time to follow me around on the forum and insult me, but I am going to go back to reading at +1. And by the way- Go fuck yourself.
Corporate speak is the domain of middle managers. In my experience, no one with any authority or power uses terms like "C-Level" "Mission Critical" etc. You will also hear a lot of business journalists (who of course have never worked in business) use those types of terms.
My suggestion- pull out one of the studies about how 80% of corporations (the higher ups) say communication is a huge problem... And then speak like a normal person. Note how "scalability" means something completely different to an IT guy than it does to some marketing guy who co-opted it to talk about an ad campaign... Any business communications class will tell you the fewer words the better, and the clearer the language the better....
I (and everyone else, I suspect) will just wait for the Torrent. Isn't that called "projection" in psycology- when you assume, wrongly, that other will do what you do?
How many people who are using torrents watch Desperate Housewives and vice versa. What you are saying, is that you will find a torrent, download it etc to save from watching a couple ads?
Look- I am not a big fan of a lot of DRM at the RIAA etc, but you can't expect networks to give their products away. I am assuming that you are young and don't work yet- but when you get old, move out of the rents house, go to work at a company, you will understand that companies can't produce expensive shows and then just give them away. They would go out of business. When you get a job, ask yourself if you would work for free so your company can give its product away for free. I will enjoy a little projection of my own, and say your answer will be no.
Um, no ads on PBS? They are always plugging some company called "Viewers Like You."
But in all seriousness:
A: You support PBS if you pay US taxes.
B: PBS has ads- I have seen many car ads on there, they are just at the begining. And how many times have you heard the Phrase "ADM- Supermarket to the world"
C: I will be honest, I would rather have to endure the occasional commercial than the occasional Pledge Drive. Even though my PBS tote bag and umbrella get me all kinds of hippy ass, you know, the women with unshaven pits and legs. MMmmmmmmm!
Consider too that failing to watch every minute of every commercial means you're "stealing" content. Jack Valenti said so
Be that as it may, no one can honestly think that any network will, or should be expected to, offer their content ad free in the net. I think what ABC is doing is awesome....
I think the RIAA etc go overboard on some stuff, but this isn't an example of that.
Honestly- anyone who thinks that a network should produce a super expensive show and then give it away has no understanding of the world, money, or the economy... Maybe if the actors, set designers, gaffers etc worked for free they could give it away... Do you work for a company? Would you stay in business very long if you gave your product away free? Don't expect a corner office any time soon my friend...
Are you trying to be funny? 80 GB of PDF's out there? Buddy, there are departments of companies, not the whole company, that have more than 80 GB of PDFs available to the public on servers.... (sometimes limited public, i.e. customers, for owners manulas, docs etc....)
I work in a smallish office where the fax is always on (Clients like it that way so we do it, but that's another story). The thing I hate, are the junk fax calls- i.e. we get a lot of faxes to our main voice line, so you pick up the phone and you get the beep bleeep beeeeeeep beep. It is obnoxious. Even more so than the "Must invest now" or "7 Day 5 star tropical vacation for $16!!!" that come into our fax line...
Does anyone know how to stop these junk fax "calls?"
Why would I care who finds out? The same reason i have a ton of life insurance. Just because I am gone, doesn't mean that I want to say "a hearty fuck you" to everyone I cared about. I care how I am remembered, and more importantly, I don't want to cause my family (including inlaws) undue stress if I die. It is called caring about others- I am sure that you feel the same way.
The House name had non alpha-numeric characters in it... that was why it was strong, and I capitalized the first letter...
Not the strongest of passwords, but it was mainly to keep my college roommates at the time from using it.
Fag, when used as an insult implying someone is a homosexual, is spelled with two G's. i.e. FAGG
Anyhow, someday, when you get married (or at least see a woman naked), you will see that you can have an exciting and fulfilling sex life based on love, but sometimes toys can make it even more exciting. (Remember, when you end up with an actual woman, keep this in mind- the vagina is actually between her legs- I know you may think it is on the front because that is where the hair is....)
The liberator pads, nipple clamps, lingerie, bodystockings, chin dongs etc. can add a lot of excitement to a marriage. Monogomy doesn't have to be monotonous!!!!
It was the name of my grandparents house (they lived on the east coast and for some reason beach people out there name their houses, this one with an american indian name) and a number that she know I would use (no it wasnt 69)
In all seriousness, don't joke about that.
I have a "friend" whose grandfather died, and when he had to help his mother clean out his grandfathers stuff, there were erotic pictures of my "friend's" grandmother (At least the pics were from the 40's, and not from when she was 80). Traumatizing.
But it does bring up a good point- Perhaps have a box where you keep your porn that says "throw out w/out opening if I die" or at least have a deal with a friend that whomever dies first, the other will do a porn sweep.
One of the reasons I have always hoped that I get a message from God a day or two before I die, is because I would freak out if I had to look down (or up) after death and watch my mother in law clean out my wife and my sex toy stash.
I imagine I would give all my music to my sister- but when I lent her a laptop a year or so ago, she guessed my password on the first try (It is actually a fairly strong 14 character password that would stand up to a dictionary attack), so I guess she could get whatever she wanted if I die:)
My music is the only non software thing that I have paid for, file wise, on my computer.
But truth is, I sincerily hope all my software is obsolete by the time I die!
Anyone remember the case of the guy who died in Iraq, and his parents wanted his Yahoo password to see what was in there for sentimentality? I believe Yahoo ended up having to give the password to his parents...
When I was deployed however, my wife and I sent some emails that I definately wouldn't want my parents seeing, so I think this guys p-word should have stayed private....
