Of course I can do that. That's easy. The problem starts where you have to tell the difference between non-obvious propaganda and sloppy journalism due to budget reasons.

Yes, your course of action (reading and comparing multiple sources) would help, but boils down to do your own research and become your own expert, just to recognize bad newspaper articles.

And if that wouldn't be hard enough, you would have to be self-reflecting enough to recognize your own bias. Which is harder than you think, because to yourself, bias appears as knowledge. Usually of the "Everyone knows that..." or "Someone who I accept as expert once told me that..." or "It's common knowledge that.." varieties.

And it takes a really scientific mindest to accept that what you know may be completly wrong. (Our brain is wired to work with inaccurate information which is cool on its own, but the opposite of scientific)

That would be indeed more of a solution than a problem.

But in reality, people who want their media to be free of bias rather tend to consider media, that shares their own bias as bias free.

So ApplePay needs new card readers? the retailers have to upgrade and replace working old readers to use it?

Well, I guess CVC will be glad to hear those news....

Why not leave anything that could start a major diplomatic incident (at best) to the hands of amateurs!

what could possibly go wrong...

Well, still could work. But that's really rare. I could only quote two examples where the engeneer either is the hero (McGyver) or saves the day (Star trek. Usually by reversing some polarity...)

But yeah, in all other shows the clever guy is usually the uncool nerd. (Riptide, anyone?)

Google 2factor-auth also works sms-less if you don't trust that. Either by a seperate authenticator app that calculates the secondary code the same way as an external key-genrator would, or you can use an actual external generator.

Or live with amateur advice from people who can't be lawyers by definition.

I left open the option "just for lulz". Yes, not everyone personally benefits from causing confusion.

I even wrote "literally" laundring it - like removing stains.

And there is a huge difference if your inside man is replacing extra money: it won't be missed, lowering the risk of detection.

Sorry I'm not comming up with laid out plans for the perfect crime as a response to a /.-post, but I guess getting finding a way to have someone trusted (like another bank) replacing your stained bills would be the way to go if you were in that line of business.

Well, it's not their money they're destroying...

Hmm... they can take the stained money, but neither deposit or spend it.....

They're probably going to leave behind stained money, as it is of no use to them. The bank, on the other hand, of course will re-deposit their own stained money....

But what if they would find out that there is MORE stained money found in the debris than there was inside?

Sounds to me like either a source for lulz or a way to wash (somehow literally) dirty money. (with a little inside help of course)

It's more like a random selection of yellow circles. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E...

Why do you need to route calls through a seperate business just to do some basic black/whitelisting? That's a basic feature of anything that can forward or route calls anyway.

How about ASKING the user if an unknown bootloader is detected during install? "Hey, did you install this here on purpose?"

Hmm, I might pick Cuba instead.

Don't forget safe tailgating by reducing the distance between cars as the first car can signal to the trailing car that it's going to break before even the actual brakes are moving. No need to factor in human reaction time anymore.
