If you receive a notice of high bandwidth usage after a pattern of never going over a specific amount in a month. Whats your problem?

Profiling of bandwidth use would be a very good tool. And I feel completely legitimate. Your a 68 year old parent who is using 40 gig a month of bandwidth. This is after a pattern over several years of only 1 gig a month. You think that shouldn't be questioned???

And based on your snotty response to the previous person. Yes, I expect you to flame me. Go for it, I'm waiting with a reply already typed.

How about Apple puts in a fix to automatically deny this access, UNLESS the app itself overrides that position?

Apple can say they resolved the issue and now it is solely on the application itself for overroding the setting. This also would not make the user constantly verify they want to do something, UNLESS the application itself requested that type of input.

By the way, I hate apple as much as I hate Microsoft.

there are billions of people working harder than him, for pennies a day. Hard work has nothing to do with that amount of money.

And that statement can be easily applied to every single poster on this web site. Want to bet that we all don't want higher taxes? Or what, because Balmer makes more than us his value to society is less.

The ones that became millionaires from the stock market? That is called research, determination to be in it for the long haul. If it is luck, they made that luck themselves. How are they profiting off the losses of others? Seriously? Explain that one?

The first link, the people that were taking the business world by storm? Hard work maybe? Both in coming up with an idea, marketing the idea, and also getting finance to produce the idea? Again, how are they profiting off the losses of others?

Are you telling me that if I take the time to research out my investments, and invest wisely? I am profiting off the losses of others? Why, because I've identified stocks that will increase in value????

Or are you telling me that if I have an idea, like sliced bread or the iPhone. I find companies that are willing to invest in this idea and produce it. How am I profiting off the loss of others?

Lastly, you would be surprised how "liberal" I am not.

I find that statement hard to believe when you make statements such as this.

Additionally, if more people become millionaires during a recession, aren't they profiting off of the loses of others?

From a liberal source to boot.

America's New Millionaires: 11 People Under 35 Who Have Taken The Business World By Storm

With original whiz kids like Bill Gates and Steve Jobs paving the way, a new generation of entrepreneurs is putting their own spin on success -- and making a lot of money along the way. How did they do it? While they may have taken slightly different paths, these young millionaires all found a way to turn unique ideas into lucrative ventures.

Want to tell these individuals they only have their money because of their parents?

Lol, I love it when I can use your own liberal publicans against your quite obvious liberal comments

Number Of Millionaires Grew Amid Recession

A stock market rebound helped the world's ranks of millionaires climb 17 percent to 10 million, while their collective wealth surged 19 percent to $39 trillion, nearly recouping losses from the financial crisis, according to the latest Merrill Lynch-Capgemini world wealth report.

I would have preferred using the irs.gov or census.gov web sites to prove my point. But I fully admit that its more fun using a liberal rag to prove my point.

The point of my post??? To prove this statement full of shit.

Um, no, rich people are rich because their parents are rich, and their friends are rich, and they get lucky.

Why should there be a limit in the amount of losses to occur before something is investigated?

http://listcrime.com/reportcybercrime.html

Although you should report cybercrime to Federal law enforcement, unfortunately they usually don't work on small monetary losses. What commonly happens is that U.S. Attorney's office for these federal agencies will decline prosecution because your monetary loss is just not enough for them to seek prosecution at the federal level.

hmmm, wonder how many people here are of Jewish religion. Naaa, they wouldn't know about hate crime. How about people that are gay? Naaa, again they wouldn't know about hate crime.

Leave it to you to only identify hate crime as something that is associated with people of a different color.

I don't care what the color of your skin is. Your nothing but a fucking bigot.

And even though nobody on this site wants to hear this, that would be the highest earners who paid the most.

http://www.taxfoundation.org/blog/show/341.html

But I doubt anyone wants to REALLY see what the tax break down is, and WHO actually paid the most for the space station. That would completely ruin their arguments of how THEIR money was wasted.

I used that link because it references the IRS for its data, and the pdf that they used.

This statement brought to you by someone that feels that the post office will always run at a profit, who was extremely happy on how the recovery effort was run for Hurricane Katrina, and had no complaints about how President Obama's administration performed the clean up from the Gulf spill.

The hypocrisy of Slashdot strikes again.
