  1. Re:My lenovo laptop on Google Awarded Face-To-Unlock Patent · · Score: 1

    Wow, you're a moron. First-to-file does not eliminate prior art invalidating a filed patent. The very act you claim got rid of prior art actually expanded the definition of what can be considered prior art for determining patentability. But that would have required you to know what you were talking about rather than repeating nonsense. It even allows foreign, third party use to be used as prior art against a patent.

    MtGox has been breached before. Using it as an example of a secure exchange is a joke.

    People accept btc as a form of exchange currency meaning they want to exchange in and out of it. If those access points are insecure the security if the BTC protocol is meaningless.

    Intel's R&D budget alone is around 70% of TSMC's total yearly revenue for example. Also, if you look up rankings of R&D spending by technology companies Intel's is basically the second highest just behind Microsoft.

    You don't necessarily have to recode since WP8 is backwards compatible with WP7 apps.

    Yes, it will. You misread the summary. WP7 will not run WP8 apps. The other way around will work as Microsoft has repeatedly stated.

    There is also an S3 but that doesn't mean tri-core. All the S1s and S2s were single core. The number has never had anything to do with CPU core count.

    Writing for Windows 8 does not necessarily imply using Windows RT. You can write Win32 apps to run on the desktop.

    Because the difference is meaningless to the users of it? If all the places that you can use to exchange bitcoin are insecure it really doesn't make a difference whether or not the protocol is secure. If bitcoin is only secure as long as you don't use an exchange then it becomes worthless as a currency for... exchanging money.

  19. Re:Not surprised ... on BitFloor Joins List of Compromised BitCoin Exchanges · · Score: 2

    And what does it matter if bitcoin itself is secure when the places that allow you to extract any value for your play money have joke level security? That's like saying that credit cards aren't insecure it's just the payment processors. It's a farcical excuse.

    Maybe because when you are the victim of credit card fraud that you don't assume the liability and instead that is the card issuer's problem? Or if someone robs you of your cash that they will face criminal charges? On the other hand, the people losing virtual play money assume no liability and will face no prosecution.

    I'd also argue that the supremacy of the keyboard/mouse for PC games is a byproduct of the PC's limitations and the impracticality of creating an immersive gaming experience on general-purpose computer.

    And what are these limitations and what makes a 'general-purpose computer' impractical to make immersive gaming on?
