If I can get ahold of enough information to withdraw funds in the first place, getting a copy of your transaction history and planning out transactions that blend in so well not even you will notice them isn't going to be any harder.
Give you the tax dollars we would normally waste on trying to rebuild New Orleans to be habitable by people.
I'm not talking about just taking it and giving it, but surely something can be worked out. The longer those half-built houses sit there, the faster they deteriorate.
Isn't there a huge surplus of houses in the US stuck in various stages of construction due to the subprime mortgage deal ?
Don't we need more food ?
Let's see if we can move everyone into these abandoned housing developments, we can setup camps and the people can finish construction on the homes themselves. The key is that they're already partially built & not in a disaster area.
Now we have a huge chunk of land that's already below sea level. We can form the land into a mangrove farm where fish and other salt tolerant plants & animals can thrive. Then blast the levies and let the whole place flood.
Discovery is doing the right thing.
Just to be safe they should keep this episode locked away in a secure vault out in the middle of nowhere guarded by a lock which requires two RFID keys to open so that it will never see the light of day.
We will continue to be told that freedom is a bad idea. The Net will be blamed for more kiddie porn, terrorism, and loss of privacy. those who remember that these things predate home computers (and maybe even pong) will get blue in the face to keep the future getting better.
Emmanuel goldstien (Publisher of 2600 magazine), 1998
The net will continue to grow, and so will the conflicts -- 12 year olds will battle multi-national corporations, Net Nazis will fight hackers, Governments will have it out with activists. For a time, the wide-open environment of the net will force opposing sides to listen to each-other. Once they all get tired of that, the Net will factionize and break apart so that, similar to TV, we never have to deal with things that disturb us or make us think too much. we'll have the Military Net, the childrens Net, the black net, the white Net, and so on. the days where we actually had to listen to our enemies will become a memory, and finally a myth.
Jeff Masters has a great blog entry [wunderground.com] with details on what they think Gustav will do, and that they expect wind shear to limit its strength despite traveling over the warmest waters in the Atlantic.
The same thing that caused Katrina to fall appart, then regroup into an even larger storm ?
Katrina wasn't a cat 3 untill it made it into the Gulf, Gustav will possibly be a 4 before it even gets to the Gulf.
what is expected to be a category-three hurricane when it hits
Category 3 ? Where the hell did they get that idea from.
Look at the storm path, it couldn't possibly get more time over warm open water than what the current path projects. Katrina was a cat 5 and started above the islands, Gustav is starting below the islands.
Newspapers are still good at local city and neighborhood news and ads for local retailers.
You must be kidding, I read about things via Google news the day before they're printed in the local paper.
I actually had a few of my non-web friends thinking I'm psychic for awhile.
By the way, gas stations do the same thing.
Even though you're paying $4.009 for a gallon of gas, the gas station may be paying $4.01 per-gallon.
They generally make up the loss on bottles of water that cost $1.39 and other things with high profit margins.
maxume is correct about the customer making a profit, as long as the price of the bread could be made by them in another trade faster than it would take them to make that bread.
However the grocery store does not always profit from selling the loaf of bread. This is something you learn in Marketing 101, or having a ton of family members working in all departments of grocery stores.
There are times that you are actually buying things for LESS than it costs the grocer to get them. This is done to draw people into the store. They make the loss up on other products that you have a high probability of purchasing while you're there.
Go for it; do these things in real life. Oh, and let me know how you do as a paladin fighting orcs and other assorted beasties, because I've always felt my true life's direction lie in being a holy warrior using the power of light to heal my compatriots and harm my foes.
Join the SWAT team. You can't tell me some of the drug addicts those guys take down don't look like freaking Orcs !
Don't get me wrong, I've been playing video games since Nintendo Power was giving away Dragon Warrior I for free with the purchase of an anual subscription to the magizine, but games seem to be mimicking real life a little too closely.
I played games because they were simple and allowed me to get away from the difficulty of the real world. I liked it because if I did something wrong I could just try again without the conssequences & I could do the same things over and over again because I liked doing them.
The direction games seem to be heading, I might as well just do these things in real life.
Why stop with just the wealthy, I think the US should start a program that donates transmitters to all Mexicans, even illegal immigrants as they're caught crossing the border.

It's cool looking and all, but once you figure in things like termites and natural rot I don't know if this is a very good idea.
So, does this apply to what happens when you view a PDF in Adobe Acrobat ?
How long has that been around ?
What's it worth to them ?
Poppycock. I bet I can get the transaction history using the same or less information than is being used to syphon funds from an account.

Oooh another good use.
What about a wind farm ? I think the two could coexist.

If there wasn't any lawyers, we could all just gang up and kick the shit out of the greedy people and take our stuff back.

I know, I was being a wise ass.

So what's to stop evesdroppers from setting up fake responders ?
Does this really fix anything, or does it just bring about a new round of hide the sausage ?
If you're seeing tiny elephants you should consider getting a checkup, that's not normal.

And the difference between that and getting a party of 5 together to kick the shit out of some dragon-monkey is ?

Where am I ?
Is this some kind of looney bin, what's with the padded walls with tears all over them ?
