True but if a Danish person was to read this to you you would not even recognize the individual words...

EDIT: Just FYI this is a clip from a Norwegian comedy program. Danish and Norwegian have very similar written languages but sound very different when spoken. In reality with some practice Danes, Swedes and Norwegians can speak together and understand one another.

transactions are generally reversible

Not really. If your account is compromised you may indeed get your money back from the bank's insurance (although in some countries that is less likely than others). However, the criminal behind the malware will probably have got at least some of the money.

International transfers are not generally reversible. Cash withdrawals are not reversible. Even electronic transfers to another bank in the same country (maybe this varies by country) are only reversible if the money has not been withdrawn.

And then there have been cases of actual bank systems being compromised so that criminals can just increase the balance of accounts directly.. And cashpoints (atms) being compromised.

ytwj your comment has been killed for some reason and I don't have enough karma to vouch it.

There was some BSD code for the network stack in Windows 95. This was all legal and license compatible. I'm pretty sure it was gone by the next windows version.

There are several inaccuracies and inconsistencies in this.

- Elrond knew of Tom Bombadil.

- Tom Bombadil had heard about Frodo's journey from both elves and hobbits. I.e. He was known to and communicated with both.

- Was there not a hobbit song about him?

As to why the hobbits had little to do with Tom Bombadil...

- A character of his power could easily have chosen to wipe the hobbits memories. Maybe this was his usual approach to hobbit intruders?

- Another possibility it that given Hobbits extreme social taboo about adventures and their fetish for respectability it is quite possible that many hobbits had interacted with Tom Bombadil but few talked about it (e.g. Farmer Maggot).

The OP's config files are probably synced across all the servers and workstations they work with.. This is probably done using a familiar tool the OP already knew.

The IDE's config might be synced. If it is it probably uses a proprietary server.

This depends upon where you are doesn't it? In the UK the grounds for arrest are "reasonable suspicion" in the US isn't it "probable cause"? I think that "reasonable suspicion" is similar to 10% certainty and "probable cause" 25% (c/f with "beyond reasonable doubt" which should be 95% certainty)...

I am not a lawyer. If anyone is in doubt I suggest speaking to a lawyer!
