DISCUSSION TOPIC - HACKING

I would like to open a discussion group about hacking.  Recently I have received a couple of emails saying someone was stuck in a foreign country and needed money.  Even though I knew the person it was obvious it  was a scam.  Now I have received an email saying that someone can't  get into their Hotmail account.  Does anyone have wise words about this topic?
(Note:  Please, only the facts.  Thanks, Cheryl)

Courtesy BajaWesternOnion in Todos Santos via the La Paz Gringos
Passport Photos - Courtesy La Paz Gringos - For those of you looking for a place to have photos taken for FMs or IMSS, Soriana may be your best bet. We stopped by there today and spoke to the young man in the Photo Dept. The price is $19.50 pesos for 4 photos. He seemed to understand what the requirements were. This is another example (in our opinion) of Soriana besting Wal-Mart. - Posted by Stephen Barr

ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS

a.  I have received a dozen responses to my query about downloading to a Kindle from Amazon's Whispernet system.   Basically, downloading works quite well in the LB area.   Amazon charges a small fee for some items downloaded to out of the US sites.   You can download to standard WiFi, a DSL connection or Amazon's 3G "Whispernet" network.   There is a wealth of information in an "Amazon Kindle" search at Google.
