  1. Re:As a money system, no. But maybe for email. on Google Engineer Releases Open Source Bitcoin Client · · Score: 1

    Actually he will make 5%+2%

  2. Re:Anybody can answer this one Bitcoin flaw? on Google Engineer Releases Open Source Bitcoin Client · · Score: 1

    Exchange rate for gold is even worse. Bitcoins are actually scarcer than gold. What will happen with gold if one government will start buying all of it? The price will skyrocket, it's one of reasons why modern economic systems switched away from gold based currencies.

  3. Re:Haven’t we been here before? on Why Doesn't Every Website Use HTTPS? · · Score: 1

    I've solved it in ResoMail by assigning each server a keypair and encrypting to server not to individual IP.

  4. Re:No end-to-end encryption though on Germany Builds Encrypted, Identity-Confirmed Email · · Score: 1

    My experience shows that people are not interested in easy to use end-to-end encryption.

  5. Re:But that is actually the point on LotR Rewritten From a Mordor Perspective · · Score: 1

    You're actually right, there are better Russian writers, this book is only famous because it tells the LoTR from the other perspective.

  6. Re:Engineering Culture on Neal Stephenson On Rockets and Innovation · · Score: 1

    May be if only more women were in engineering by now we would have flying saucers.

  7. Re:Is opening a spouses mail a crime? on Is Reading Spouse's E-Mail a Crime? · · Score: 1

    Marriage is a construct we inherited from ancient times, back then it helped raising kids, now we have a different situation and incentives should be provided to the model families with kids, not to everybody.

  8. Re:Is opening a spouses mail a crime? on Is Reading Spouse's E-Mail a Crime? · · Score: 1

    I think you haven't read all his message, because he address this issue, and proposes incentives to be given only to parents with kids.

  9. Re:Is opening a spouses mail a crime? on Is Reading Spouse's E-Mail a Crime? · · Score: 1

    It's from social point of view, but from biological point of view women must give birth before 25 years. With age birth is more difficult and risk of genetic disease is greater.

  10. Re:Deregulating a bad idea for essential services on How the Free Market Rocked the Grid · · Score: 1

    Actually in Somalia they have it the free marked way: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Somalia#Energy

  11. Re:In Soviet Russa on Recording the Police · · Score: 1

    As strange as it sounds in modern Russia it is legal to record police.

  12. Re:Not really important to me on Chrome Throws Flash Into the Sandbox · · Score: 1

    By the way, I already run flash only with Chrome, it has a build in flash player and so I don't have to install adobe flash to all the browsers. I browse with firefox and opera and when I need to see a page with flash (usually it's a video) I copy the url and run it in Chrome.

  13. Re:So let's keep trying on The Pirate Bay Co-Founder Starting P2P-DNS · · Score: 1

    Who and how will support a decentralized Internet? It will not be as responsive as centralized one, it will have a lot of enemies and little friends (at least initially) so it will be very difficult to launch.

  14. Re:Been Tried... on The Pirate Bay Co-Founder Starting P2P-DNS · · Score: 1

    For ResoMail I intended to give root domain ownership to trusted organizations like EFF, so that root domains will be trusted. Then the sub-domains will be as trusted as the owner of the domain, you can distribute domain public key as much as you want as much as you want.

  15. Re: Flying on Engineers Propose Lily Pad-Like Floating Cities · · Score: 1

    As far as I know, aircraft carriers are designed to survive a direct missile impact, I'm not sure it will be feasible to spends as much on these artificial islands as on aircraft carriers.

  16. Re:LASIK, high blood pressure, gene therapy... on Scientists Overclock People's Brains · · Score: 1

    If you consume more than 500 moles of it - it can harm you...

  17. Re:Just imagine where we'd be if on Electric Car Goes 375 Miles On One 6-Minute Charge · · Score: 1

    As strange as it sounds we actually started with electric see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_electric_vehicle the gas proved more efficient...

  18. Re:How long does it last? on Electric Car Goes 375 Miles On One 6-Minute Charge · · Score: 1

    I think the charge stations will have some local storage of electricity, be it super-capacitors or flywheel based systems like http://www.beaconpower.com/ and those charge stations in the morning will be starting slowly charging their energy storage and even having a sign of how much energy they have (can they quickly charge only a light car or a truck) similar to battery sign on mobile phones or notebooks, the same size current gas stations show prices. And when you see that some charge station is full you go and charge there, if it's empty you go to the next station.

  19. Re:Um, isn't java code GPL? on Oracle Claims Google 'Directly Copied' Our Java Code · · Score: 1

    I understand your frustration, I've encountered bugs linked to indentation in python, but all this can be solved with a good IDE (Like JetBrains IDE for python) Personally I like python because of this indentation over {} it makes code look compacter and enforce a good structure into code.

  20. Re:Well... on India Now Wants Access To Google and Skype · · Score: 1

    Actually it will be more difficult for governments to control all of the small businesses using their own encryption. Especially if encryption will be obfuscated.

  21. Re:Timeless saying applies here... on 1978 Cryptosystem Resists Quantum Attack · · Score: 1

    Although I'm working with cryptography, I must admit there are a lot of technical ways to circumvent it, the cryptography will only help to rise the cost of those technical ways. And to be really secure, you must have special computers in special rooms in addition to using cryptography.

  22. Re:When governments attack, only one thing matters on RIM's Encryption 'Too Secure' For Indian Government's Taste · · Score: 1

    My experience shows that unfortunately most people are not interested in their privacy. You'll have to find a lot of enthusiasts to implement to build your own ISP.

  23. Re:And GnuPG? on RIM's Encryption 'Too Secure' For Indian Government's Taste · · Score: 1

    Usually I think that it's too complicate to configure for an average user and it's a show stopper for most of them.

    You can try http://www.playframework.org/ it doesn't require getters and setters, and for a Java framework it's quite cool.
