The move is expected to check excessive borrowing at a time when the cost of living is going up in view of inflationary pressures. “Banks are competing among themselves to offer personal loan to their customers. Different banks have various limits on the maximum personal loan amount. It varies from 50 to 70 times of salary, depending on the bank.

Can casino comps be offset by losses?

I do quite a bit of gambling and receive comps from the casino, including transportation by limo or air, meals and lodging, spa services and show tickets, among other stuff. If I win enough, I get a W-2G for the amount of the winnings. When I do my taxes, I include the amount I got on the W-2G and usually deduct a like amount for losses; after all, the house always wins. Should I be including some income for the value of the comps?

Fallout From the Fall of CAPTCHAs

An anonymous reader recommends Computerworld's look at the rise and fall of CAPTCHAs, and at some of the ways bad guys are leveraging broken CAPTCHAs to ply their evil trade. "CAPTCHA used to be an easy and useful way for Web administrators to authenticate users. Now it's an easy and useful way for malware authors and spammers to do their dirty work. By January 2008, Yahoo Mail's CAPTCHA had been cracked. Gmail was ripped open soon thereafter. Hotmail's top got popped in April. And then things got bad. There are now programs available online (no, we will not tell you where) that automate CAPTCHA attacks. You don't need to have any cracking skills. All you need is a desire to spread spam, make anonymous online attacks against your enemies, propagate malware or, in general, be an online jerk.
