ParticipantBut getting an IP to be able to DDoS or otherwise fawk with at your leisure might be worth it.

ParticipantThe scammmers are likely not in the US 🙂

ParticipantStick the honeypot behind a firewall that logs all traffic and you should be able to get the IP. I’m not sure what their local constabulary would do with it, though.

ParticipantCaller ID might be random — a VoIP PBX can be set up to transmit virtually any caller ID info to the provider. Honestly, just ignore it. Unless you know the number, don’t pick up.
Or test the ability of their VoIP to transmit high-amplitude signals. If you’re lucky, you might even give one of their smurfs a coronary.

ParticipantIs there still a folding hardtop, or has that bit of porkfat been retired?

ParticipantI like the ND, but agree with flu’s advice. In the mean time, grab an NA1 to keep you happy. They’re fun little cars.
As far as the auto vs stick thing, if there’s such demand for a real transmission, why didn’t Mazda plan to produce more sticks vs idiotmatics? Confused about their planning or lack of planning.

ParticipantStart coding. Join your local tech meetup listserv, see if anyone is requesting a small development project. Offer your services cheap as a side gig.

ParticipantHonestly, this is the court doing its job — “states: you can’t use your power to restrict people’s rights unnecessarily.”
As far as violations of states’ rights, there are much bigger fish to fry. You have laws that threaten to take away a percentage of a state’s Federal highway funding if they don’t toe DC’s line as far as things like drinking age or speed limits (before the 90s).
Never mind that a part of those funds were taken from the state’s residents by the Feds in the first place. This is legalized robbery, extortion, and a real perversion of the legislative process.

ParticipantIf you’re talking about property, one problem is that land ownership records there basically stink, so it’s not clear who owns what:
Equities, etc, you don’t have to be any particular nationality.

ParticipantOr positive for the rest of the Euro — Greece has been a thorn in their behinds for the past, what, five years? If Greece leaves, then maybe the cycle of paranoia can be broken.
And Greece isn’t that big. A humorous take on the matter…

Participantbearishgurl — in the Orthodox community, parents are legally married, so both are custodial.
Correct that this won’t fly in expensive cities, but the communities I speak of are often outside of NYC. Typically in the foothills of the Catskills, west of the Hudson.
My point is that this crap happens now on the fringe. If polygamy is legalized, it will keep happening, but remain on the fringe.
From what I understand, polygamy is actually pretty rare in Muslim countries where it’s legal.

ParticipantImagine the State Dept of Child Support Services trying to collect aid payments from ONE PAYOR to reimburse themselves for aid to 23 children (with 5 different moms).
Big deal. That already happens with monogamous ultra-Orthodox sects in NY. The fathers don’t work either, and child support only comes into play in case of divorce. So there you have it.
That’s not a polygamy issue. That’s a cult issue.

ParticipantIt’s not even $4000 per month unless you’re paying for her gas, supplies, car expenses, etc. Give her the raise and a nice bonus for the holiday(s).

ParticipantActually, there were several other decent decisions this week.
Read about the LAPD hotel data case for one. Baby steps.
Interestingly, Scalia (for all his other nutjobbery) is proving to be a strong supporter of the fourth amendment and often sides with more liberal justices.
