I can just imagine his first conversations with fellow prisoners - so what are you in here for? Convict 1) I killed 3 people. Convict 2) I raped some kids. Sanchez) I uploaded a movie to a filesharing site. He is definitely going to be someone's bitch!

I think the slashdot community should write a story where everyone adds a little to the plot - now that would be a good read!

I considered this and emailed off a few places but not being American probably didnt help. I have since found another industry that pays well and has similar perks such as travel, food, accommodation and tax free pay and you are in a hell of a lot nicer locations - sure you will work long hours too but then you will also get extremely generous holiday periods to compensate you for it plus the previous mentioned benefits

Fricken Lasers!

Finally they might get invited to some good parties! http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/06/05/henry_nicholas_indicted/

Yes that's true except that the U.S. is now discovering that trying to be the world's policeman is sending them broke. Maybe they have a few wars left in them but when the dollar stops being the global reserve then the days of U.S. hegemony are over as they then cannot just get the Fed to print endless money.

Yep the U.S. are all for promoting democracy around the world except when people might vote for someone they dont like

This is how they are dealt with if they find out: http://www.nytimes.com/2011/08/06/world/americas/06cuba.html

I have a feeling AFACTs argument might go something like "...in summing up its the constitution, its Mabo, its justice, its law its the vibe and thats it, its the vibe"

I prefer my Mr Fusion

Its so predictable that some people will blame video games and the media when these things happen It really reminded me of the interview Michael Moore did with Marilyn Manson in Bowling for Columbine I really recommend people rewatch it as its still true now http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lrHFB2KP8fc Maybe its the way that governments conduct themselves that should have the finger pointed at them before they start with the media - unfortunately its much easier to blame someone or a video game rather than look at a how governments legitimize violence and the effect that this might have.

Ive found the problem is freezing your account when you make a transfer that they deem suspicious - I had them freeze one to a tour operator in Peru - I didnt understand why they couldnt look at the recipient's account and work out that based on the business they are doing its probably legit - I think also it was blocked because it was initiated from Peru - another thing that probably should have made sense. Luckily I had a friend at Paypal that sorted it out. My friend said that they helped implement changes that resulted in the security dept reducing their account lockouts by 70% Apparently their only measurement was fraud prevention hence they had a motivation to block any transfer that looked even slightly dodgy - obviously if you block every transaction their will be no fraud and they will meet their only objective - too bad for the rest of the company
