Fair enough. But basically me and a couple of other people on this thread wanted to point out that the banking system is not very sound. I just chimed in with my anecdote.

Now we're just being pedantic. My point was that each branch should have enough cash to act as a "proper bank", whatever amount of money you'd reasonably expect one to have in its vault. But I'd sure expect more than 10k euro.

Oh come on, Greece is not North Korea. There's a difference in their respective levels of totalitarianism, yes. But Greece, just like any other country, can turn it up a notch when "necessary".

The power to end the TSA lies with the public. The responsibility to end the TSA lies with the public. The public need to make enough fuss, so the media reports the fuss, so that more public become aware of the issue. Really? Just like th

> Yes. I am sure. I have far, far, far less than 0.000001% of the total money in the bank. If they could not produce this much money when I wanted it, there would be other serious problems. Last year, a branch office of a large bank in

"All your code are belong to us!". Somehow a web IDE doesn't seem to make much sense.

Why are you downplaying the egregious police-stateness of this whole thing? If the FBI is already there , it really shouldn't be a problem for them to locate the exact server that hosts their alleged offender and confiscate only that one.

FBI seizures are only a tiny fraction of outages. Please, that doesn't make FBI seizures any more palatable.

Most of the European problems right now are problems that the US just plain cannot have -- Greece, Spain and Italy running up huge debts because they have the credibility of the eurozone without any of the responsibility. Right, and Ameri

Saying that "some information may remain in our records after deletion of your account" is, of course, corporate bullshit weasel-speak for: "all of the information gathered on you will remain in our records indefinitely". Honestly.com is

Professional is not a word I would use for Zed. Someone that's professional would not be as confrontational and antagonistic as Zed is. He seems to be that way, often to his own detriment. Oh please , can we just give this tired old trip

How exactly does visa-self-sponsorship work? Is it required that you've had a company-sponsored visa before applying for self-sponsorship (or can you self-sponsor your first visa)? How is it determined whether you are allowed to self-spon

Actually I've been hanging out in Chiang Mai for most of the last six months. In February I went to Vietnam, Hanoi, but it was uncomfortable (and surprisingly expensive!) so I came back. Any idea about good places in China, by the way? I've

I've heard that there might be cheap apartments in Tai Po, and even saw it on the map, but I have no clue how long it takes to get to civilization from there. Anyway.. Are your friends wealthy, or just.. silly, for paying that kind of rents
