Wait a second, does this mean Dear Leader is...anti-Chuck Norris?

Why wouldn't you just keep the money? The bad guys are half a world a way and have no way to call the cops as if they would to begin with.

Whenever I've heard of these kinds of scams (including a related one involving physical goods they send you and you ship overseas) I always wondered why people were so honest and actually went through with it instead of just keeping the money.

It'd be like Bernie Madoff walking up to you with a suitcase of cash, asking you to go deposit it at some bank across town. Yeah, sure, Bernie. I'll call you when I'm done.

This would apply to someone in the US who your friend asks you to wire the money to, first. That's how a lot of these scams work. You give them your info, they give it to someone in the US who transfers the money into their account, withdraws it, then wires the money overseas, or to some other money mule to wire overseas. I'd read in another article that they use developmentally disabled adults, because they're more honest and competent to make these sorts of transactions.

That would lead to a false sense of demand and lead to the fail;ure of said company.

And it wouldn't be the first time.

What Steam should due is form there own Distro.

The Games distro.charge 40 bucks and have it come with a couple of games pre-installed.

Naturally the Fork code would also be available for download, without the games.

They should do that right after the have a steam server I can put on a machine so I don't need to have an account for everyone n the house.

This, by the way, is why the folks that bought the iPhone are on the hook. The "finder" made no attempt to locate the actual owner, and instead sold it to that Web site for $5000. In other words, technically stolen property. The Web site knew or should have known, as reasonable people, that it was technically "stolen". They paid $5000 for it. Certainly not the act of a legitimate "news organization".

If you can't think of enough ways to graphically display information to fill a 250 page book, that says more about your lack of imagination than the utility of a plotting library.

If so, what do you think?
I like obscure things, but there are probably reasons why I shouldn't.

There seriously needs to be a special "+{a lot} Funny" for efforts like yours.

I'm going to work this into an email of a semi-officious nature: Stay tuned /.ers for a future story about a financial instutition wanting on the IEEE's TLAv6 board.

This won't work for one reason: The employees will fear for their jobs and not report dangerous incidents.

You subdivide them. If a member of red platoon (or watch or whatever you want to call it) spots the infraction his team are off the hook. But blue and green toss a coin for which faces firing and which faces a firing squad.
