    no advantages whatever over any other system.

    Have you ever tried making a wire transfer? It takes days.

    change the algorithm so it could create more bitcoins.

    You'd have to convince all bitcoin users to use the new algorithm. Hard sell getting them to devalue their own money.

  2. Re:Am I imagining it? on Stolen Adobe Passwords Were Encrypted, Not Hashed · · Score: 1

    Not really. You could still test all users against the top 100 passwords in a reasonable amount of time. After that, test if their mail accounts have the same password.
    It won't get you all user passwords, but the low hanging fruit / naive / non-tech-savvy users are probably a better target anyway

  4. Re:Wait a second... on ACLU: Lavabit Was 'Fatally Undermined' By Demands For Encryption Keys · · Score: 1

    How did the mail get into Lavabit's servers in the first place? Did Lavabit costumers send their public keys to all their correspondence partners and ask them to encrypt before sending?

  5. Re:Poor Granny... on Google Updates ReCAPTCHA With Easier CAPTCHAs For Humans · · Score: 4, Funny

    In the CAPTCHA, maybe you couldn't read it.

  6. Re:Scala is a scripting language? on If Java Is Dying, It Sure Looks Awfully Healthy · · Score: 1

    Java can run in a console, too. Does scala have an equivalent to python or javascript eval()?

    That doesn't mean it's not compiled. It just means that it's compiled automatically and possibly saved to a temporary location.

  8. Re:Easy! on CCC Says Apple iPhone 5S TouchID Broken · · Score: 1

    Why do you need that name any more than you need the name of the Apple engineers who designed the scanner?

  9. Re:Ghostery is proprietary software, not ideal on IAB Urges People To Stop "Mozilla From Hijacking the Internet" · · Score: 1

    What do you use instead?
    Surely proprietary software is better than none

  10. Re:Mozilla should integrate AdBlock plus or simila on IAB Urges People To Stop "Mozilla From Hijacking the Internet" · · Score: 1

    Ghostery is another good privacy addon. Blocks Facebook Like buttons and other bugs.

  11. Re:Old News on Apple Angers Mac Users With Silent Shutdown of Java 7 · · Score: 1

    Android only uses Java the Language, not Java the VM or Java the Compiler.

  12. Re:This doesn't make sense to me on Open Source ExFAT File System Reaches 1.0 Status · · Score: 1

    Let it work to your advantage. There is no reason the tape can't be read while the writer is still writing.

  13. Re:Advertised price 9.96 = 10.00 on Canada To Stop Producing Pennies In 2013 · · Score: 1

    Book balancing is not a problem when your cash registers can handle the rounding. Many countries use rounding, so it's likely implemented in the register already.

  14. Re:Excellent; on Canada To Stop Producing Pennies In 2013 · · Score: 1

    Cash registers are able to handle rounding. Balancing books will be no harder than before.

    You shouldn't downmod just because you disagree, anyway.

    Because a lot of otherwise capable hardware is still 32-bit only?

    Remove your buggy extensions.

  21. Re:Dear Apple on Apple Kills a Kickstarter Project - Updated · · Score: 1

    I meant, do they take advantage of an off-brand charger? I seem to recall they have some circuitry that lets the iPad detect how much current it should pull. But I don't know if that tech is proprietary.

  22. Re:Dear Apple on Apple Kills a Kickstarter Project - Updated · · Score: 1

    But do Apple products take advantage of that amount of current?

  23. Re:Baffled on UK Cookie Consent Banners Draw Complaints · · Score: 2

    If they really wanted, they could have forced the browser makers to ask about cookies by default. More secure (no chances of sites deploying cookies behind your back) and more user friendly (user can change settings once and for all).

    I use symlinks if I want to store data on other drives, that works like a charm. I think those are added after XP, though.

    "A posthumous pardon was not considered appropriate as Alan Turing was properly convicted of what at the time was a criminal offense."

    That's what pardons are for!
