    In principle, this is possible within the framework of Christianity. The fallen angels could approve of sin. Neither Judaism nor Islam recognize the angels' free will (the ability to function outside of God's will); even Satan is simply the accuser in God's court, and not the adversary.

    Note that there will be a jump in activity here when MAPS closes. We're in the lull before the storm.[/QUOTE]

    I hope it will soon.

    Meanwhile, there's another slowdown while the update the site....

    Oh, and Danny/Doede, it's "patience" - not "patients". The latter is what you get in a hospital. The former is a quality of waiting quietly for something.

    Hmmm.....not that many people at this event, are there? Looks a bit thin on the ground to me.

    What is this oaf talking about no perfect time for maintenance, what about the four timezones America occupies?

    Other than the fact it's now become obvious US residents aren't going to be refunded any time soon, it's interesting to note "taco123" STILL thinks MAP is a legitimate business and needs to avoid drawing more attention to itself

    German leaders say that there was a "hacker attack" against maps causing that downtime.
    Also: why don't they at least announce their maintenance? Would be much easier to handle :^)

    Stealing is one of the methods of making it. Some of them pimp legit or semi-legit on top of illegal (hosting services, DDoS protection services, software), so I'm being broad on purpose. ;)

    I fear that disappointment is pending for Danny Lewington....

    Why DO people go on and on, making the same mistakes? It baffles me.

    Hackers, Version R2-D2, Settlements, Leaving Las Vegas, Chinese Trainers, even Mike Deese doesn't work for MAP these days https://www.facebook.com/MikeDzz?fref=ts, maybe they should be telling advertisers sumpthin instead of a gaggle of chuckleheads thinking they are rich from clicking 10 ads per day.

    Nah...


    Court chairman N. Rajasegaran said Datuk Dr Zainul Bahrin Mohd Zain had accepted an offer to be managing director of Bank Rakyat in July 2000 and wanted to make some gain from his resignation from Pembangunan Leasing Corporation Sdn Bhd (PLC), a subsidiary of Bank Pembangunan and Infrastruktur Malaysia Bhd, by claiming that he had been driven out of his job.

    “The Industrial Court’s role is to dispense justice equally to workmen and employers and it will not tolerate deception by a workman desirous of resigning from his job to decorate a case for constructive dismissal,” he said in an award handed down on Monday.

    so it still doesn't exist yet. shocking! there is no way he's going to give the authorities a road map to convict him.
    he knows map is almost done so he'll take orders and money, then when it collapses, will be nowhere to be found for refunds.
    Haven't lost any money to online scams.......results are typical.

    I think this is an example of what used to be called "vanity publishing". You can get anything published if you pay for it. Doesn't matter how rubbishy it is!

    I cannot see any self respecting literary agency or publisher taking this on. It ain't going to be published by Penguin Random House, Harper Collins, Pan Macmillan or Simon and Schuster, is it?

    Love the line about the "limited edition hardback edition". Perhaps old Simon only had enough money to pay for half a dozen of those; the rest are going to be run off on a photocopier when Jules is on her lunch break maybe?

    By the way, our boy is still running his little ads in the back of the Mail on Sunday. "Entrepreneurs Wanted!" it says, and there's a new website to visit: NeverWorkForPaper.com. However, when you go these it takes you to the old "Simonmacmateme" page.

    Same old p*ss, different shaped bottles IMO.

    I'd like to think that WAS the next book in the series. I find it very depressing to think that our boy Simon probably will walk away unscathed, and that he is probably already brewing up his next little scheme. Even worse, people will probably follow him there. And when the next scheme starts growing, and the "haterz" start saying "Remember MAPs? Remember Banners Broker?" Simon's followers will start squeaking that "he was only an affiliate, he lost out too, but that didn't stop him trying again!" and all the other RUBBISH they have come out with this time.

    I just wish that the UK authorities would catch up with him and DO something. Our American cousins seem to take a far more robust view - OK, not perfect maybe, but they seem to take these things more seriously. But if Simon was put out of business and made an example of, I am sure that would have a deterrent effect.

    I hope so anyway.
