General Bank Of America Anonymous Leak Alleges 'Corruption And Fraud'

but it's more than a few grand! :p
 
The term few is subjective!

And go Anon.
 
Varine has 20 mil in his bank, so he can toss a few 50ks everywhere he wants!
 
No, Varine has about $5,000 in his bank. However Varine is poor as fuck and doesn't have an issue with accepting that, and knows that even if he had several hundred thousand sitting in that account, it still wouldn't be that much. A lot to you, maybe, but not that much.

Why? Don't tell me you don't like money o_O
 
How was it at all implied I don't like money? I simply don't have much. I'm an unemployed, full time student living primarily off loans and the odd freelance work I find from time to time. If I get desperate I have programs I've developed I can sell, but I only really need about 17,000 dollars a year to live. Most of what I have above that is invested into my projects. With such a small amount, I haven't got much issue with putting it in a bank. It's unlikely that it will go away suddenly, and even if it does the bank will probably just be bought off by someone else and a different bank will inherit that debt. In the event of some kind of Enron situation, the government has to give it back because it's federally insured.

Oh wow, what a life you have there :D By the way, quick question: how do we unzip and zip using a dll? I'm trying to make a Warcraft III Version Switcher and I just need that. It's okay if you don't know how to :D

Well back to topic, I agree with you, we don't need so much money! :D
 
What? You mean, like programming? I don't know, use shell32.dll maybe? What language? Do you actually mean un/zip as in using the x.zip compression? I think all you would have to do is a package that contains all of the files changed in the last version, delete those files from the game's directories, and then replace them. Well that would be the easy way, could require a lot of data depending on how large the update is, but that's how we're doing them for our games. Doing it in reverse shouldn't be a problem. Aren't there already reverse patches available?

And it's not necessarily that. I don't necessarily like the standard of living I have, however given the circumstances (although I do despise school right now. It's no wonder so many people drop out, the amount I've learned is laughable) I'm fairly content. I desperately need about 12,000 dollars though. Which if I had, I could possibly have a working prototype of one of my projects. One I think is fairly profitable because I don't think anyone has done it yet, at least I haven't found one, but I'm getting increasingly worried there is one. In which case I will be very upset because I am really excited about being the first one to do it.

But anyway, yes. 50,000 is a lot of money. I could get a lot done if I had 50 grand at my disposal. I could complete almost all of my undegraduate studies over the next year and a half with that amount of money (as it stands it will likely be about three or four more years as I can't get that much money at once it seems. Which is a lot longer than I want to be here...).

However, we aren't talking about you or I. We are talking about banks. 50,000 dollars is a jokeable amount. That pays ONE employee a year maybe. These are massive companies, they employ thousands of people. Millions of dollars are thrown around every month on salaries alone. 50,000 is an amount they could easily just lose every year and not even notice it - just flat out fucking lose. With no excuse for it happening, because no one knows it happened. Of course there is going to be corruption. There is corruption everywhere. But banks aren't targetting us - what the corrupted do really isn't going to have a lot of an affect on your or my money, if any. Typically no one notices. But even the worst case scenarios, we don't lose much, maybe some initial confusion as our accounts are sold off. Even if they aren't sold, the government has to reimburse us legally. And if the government doesn't exist to do that, I think we have some bigger things to worry about at that point. You're money might even have been sold to a foreign entity, so it's still there. It's just in a different country somewhere.
 
Hmm, I guess you're right, Varine. 50,000 dollars to a Bank? Oh damn! They can even swallow it if it isn't illegal!

Ouch. My current income is about 10k a year and I can perfectly live off of that amount. Actually I can live off of 5k a year, 7k is "luxury life" for me :D

A software engineer costs about 100 000$ a year. For a bank, millions of $ are still peanuts. And they loose more than 50k a year. I would say 2% depreciation, but I have no clue.

Ouch! I'd never get to see 50k in my lifetime i guess...
 
They don't need that many software engineers. They do, however, need a lot of tellers.

    We have some elderly guests that regularly come hang out at the bar at the end of the night, and every once in a while we don't see someone for a few weeks and then someone shows up with their obituary.
  • Varine Varine:
    We usually let them do their memorials there in the morning if they want to and I'll make them some snacks and drinks. There was one guy named Tom that came in like every night and would sit by himself and get a bunch of soup and a glass of wine. idk why but he LOVED our fucking soup, like he would order a fucking quart of it at a time and would always get so sad when we stop doing it for the summer.

  • Varine Varine:
    But he also loved our calamari, which is another thing I hate but it sells super well so I can't change it. There was one day he came in and was asking me how to make it, because he tried to at home once in the off season when we stop running it and he really wanted it lol
  • Varine Varine:
    I think he's one of the only people I've made recipes for for free because he really wanted a broccoli cheddar, and it was like dude I don't have a recipe, it's just whatever I have, but here, this is how you do it
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't think he ever figured out how to do the calamari in a pan though, like idk how to do that either. He was afraid of the at home deep fryers though and it's like yeah, that's fair, I am too
  • Varine Varine:
    He was just such a sweet old man, we had two servers pregnant and they held a baby shower together, he was soooooo fucking excited to get to see a baby. Unfortunately he died a month or so before they were born
  • The Helper The Helper:
    So I decided to Google some people that I had not seen or heard from in a while and sure enough one of my old best friends, we had a falling out years ago but whatever, find out he died of Pancreatic Cancer in January. I have also lost a few of my closer acquaintances from growing up the last year. Getting old - people die - I kinda thought it was going to be this way a few years ago....

    Forum running super slow again
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Not really clear from the stats as to what is causing the slowness.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    We get a lot of guest traffic so it may just be the load is getting too high and not from any particular source.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Looks like the server is maxed out on CPU.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Oh it looks like a lot of the traffic is Silkroad Forums. That domain isn't protected by Cloudflare.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    But the old Silkroad site is still on its own server. I just had a test site set up on this server for it.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I just disabled that test site. Let's see if that helps the load.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Looks much better already.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I had actually forgot about the Silkroad site. I had asked
  • The Helper The Helper:
    SD Ryoko about it and he said the couple of people left on there really like it, that was a few years ago, maybe I should check back
  • jonas jonas:
    I guess when you're getting old, and the last day of soup season draws near, you start wondering
  • jonas jonas:
    will I make it to the start of the next season? or was this the last time I'll ever have my favorite dish?
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I am doing my first Vibe Coding project. In installed the environment and tools according to instructions but it is all chat doing this for me at my direction. It is fun really and holy shit I might finish in 2 hours what it would have taken a day to in my Access and this would be an electron app complete new
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Good stuff.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Just make sure it is secure. :)
