Well, there are a few that really make the effort, by keeping the children in cages or small locked rooms.

They are not actually attacking anything. They don't specifically know anybody here who they have ordered to attack this mall.

This is a "will somebody in America go to the mall of america and do something bad there. please." request.

It may or may not work [to get somebody to actually do it], but they have already succeeded in getting us to cower in fear of the attack. Which is exactly what they want.

and a bigger hard drive.

Maybe you should get that leak in the gas tank fixed and she won't have to worry about making it to the gas station every morning...

He probably could win, if he had a similar budget that the gov't spent on investigating and litigating him.

However, it is likely he was out of funds [or could see that he would be out of funds prior to the resolution of charges], and he would be tied up in court for years, so he chose the best way out, a resolution that gets his life going again in a year and probably with some money to do so.

I thought they were referring to ebay's original operating model...highest bidder wins.
