I've been on the phone with PayPal on far too many occasions, and they definitely know how to handle these issues quick. Although, you wouldn't even really have to call them. You can dispute the charges with like two clicks on you

Most paypal fraud, like credit card fraud happens at a very small scale. A fraudster pays $50 for 50 accounts and then spends a day with them and maybe walks out with $300. The guy selling the accounts sells hundreds of thousands of them, a

RDP at home is certainly difficult, but I have to disagree on the performance bit. In fact, RDP is probably by far the best such protocol in use right now.

Why would you care? You can call in and reverse the payment in minutes.

On paypal or TV? Needs clarification.

I'm aware. But even tens of thousands of affected people wouldn't qualify as "an extremely wide spread malware". If you spin up an exploit pack and can't get 50k hits in a day you're clueless and should conside

I can't see how you could possibly describe his behavior as "childish" here. Pangu straight up stole his code and sold it.

I'd imagine it's more about not driving all the domestic companies away.

The citations do not support your original claim.

Subsidiaries in countries with low tax rates certainly aren't against the spirit of the law.

That's not what you said though. >Actions that are deemed to have been taken solely for their tax effects are clearly and explicitly deemed tax evasion by the IRS What you said would make almost all tax avoidance into tax evasion. H

You should reconsider whatever client program you're using if it's causing issues.

>Actions that are deemed to have been taken solely for their tax effects are clearly and explicitly deemed tax evasion by the IRS This is just not true.

by ryanl0l 10y ago
No? Could you expand on that a little please. Based on my reading there certainly exists such a duty when it's beneficial, obviously tax avoidance isn't explicitly beneficial though. Potential law changes or even bad press could c

I suggest you reread my comments as I never made such a connection. tax avoidance=/=tax evasion

Honestly, going after the FBI for lying to the Finnish police would probably be a pretty hard case to win. Especially considering how blatantly unreasonable the behaviour of the .fi authorities has been. It's possible that I could win.

Not at all, the key in weevs case was intent.

by ryanl0l 10y ago
Not necessarily. I've spent the last few years fighting various hacking charges in Finland and will most likely continue to do so for several years to come. The law enforcement here will consistently take anything the FBI tells them as

Haha, that's a good idea. But no, the "ryanlol" account has rather restrictive ratelimiting in place.

Yeah until the users ISP drops them because of the kaiten sending outgoing DDoS.

by ryanl0l 10y ago
Ah, I'm sorry. For some reason I was under the impression that you were ignoring updates altogether. Installing specific KBs works fine until Microsoft stealth patches something, which isn't exactly unheard of.

If you really feel that way, why do you not file a police report then?

Yes, I am. In fact, I couldn't even have posted this reply if I wasn't.
