    The summary implies they are using debit cards to get cash.

    The summary says that they are "draining accounts". I know of know way to access cash with a debit card without a PIN. Presumably, the actors are using the debit cards/chips to make purchases processed as credit, which requires (typically) no PIN.

    Indeed, the article makes no mention of cash.

    Seriously?

    Don't you think the terms of a settlement of this nature would preclude any further civil action on behalf of either party related to this incident? Are you seriously suggesting that Uber would cut them a check then go after them for the damage to the vehicle?

    Get real.

  10. Re:He was a terrorist on How Technology Caught the Austin Serial Bomber (foxnews.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I realize that "terrorist" is the new trendy label, but while hate crimes are often related to terrorism they are not the same thing. This despite the fact that hate crimes are often intended to generate terror.

    In it's simplest form, "terrorist" can be defined as "a person who uses unlawful violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims."

    While we may not have seen the video associated with this case and we do not fully understand this individual's motivations, it is not unreasonable to theorize that those motivations were political on some level, and therefore not unreasonable to refer to this jackass as a domestic terrorist (or simply terrorist) until such time as evidence of his true motives is presented.

    Problem with Facebook is we post a new job or school or city because we want friends to know how we are doing. It's not for Facebook to take that information and sell it...

    No, "we" do not. Speak for yourself. I don't post jack shit to Facebook. My friends? I talk to them. They know how I am doing because I speak to them. My new job is not fodder for my so-called "friends" to stare mindlessly into their phones. As for that last bit, you may want to review this before your next visit back to Facebook. It's obvious you've never read it.

    In a conference room at my office is an entire cork board wall with a projector screen in the middle. Someone, naturally, took a picture of the cork board, made it the room PC's wallpaper, and I guess set a Group Policy prohibiting the wallpaper from being changed. They INSIST on whimsy. I thought inspirational photos like something from Southeast Alaska would be better... sorry, but no.
