Yes but as a white male you're not entitled to anything, not to mention being offended. Being offended "ist verbotten", so to speak. As a Romanian guy, lacking insight into fine points of American culture, I wonder why can black people use the N word freely among themselves, but as soon as a white person uses it, they're screwed to no avail? Up until 2006-2007, I genuinely thought "What's up, N*?" was a normal and expected salute towards a black person, because I've seen it used in movies a lot of times. Boy, was I wrong.
Path of Exile has a plethora of microtransactions, all of them having zero impact on your gameplay because all they are is cosmetics and stash tabs. Proof that a game solely relying on MTS can thrive, be replayable and have a large, stable community.
Any line of code is "hidden" between other thousands of lines of code. Does this mean all lines of code are hidden? You could argue it's "hidden" if it's obfuscated in any way. Doesn't look like the case though. At most you could define it as an undocumented feature - and the fact that it was found very quickly shows there wasn't an effort to hide it.
But I guess it wouldn't be so dramatic to name it "an undocumented developer fee feature", and it would have been even less dramatic to mention that most other mining clients do have a developer fee and some of them are closed source, and even more, some of them enforce it. For example Claymore has a dev fee set to 1% and if you disable it (which you can) it changes to an enforced "1% idle time" during which your PC doesn't mine for the developer but doesn't mine for you either.
Bah, in a place as big as Munich Administration you can infiltrate a spy any fucking time. Or bribe someone who already works there. Software has no power to prevent that.
You must be kidding. With everything moving to the cloud, the desktop OS becomes more irrelevant every year. You will start seeing other OS making inroads over Windows as this continues. This is more about some sales people bribing ("lobbying") the right people.
Save the Cloud thing, I've been hearing this for the past couple decades...
I never use laptop keyboards. When I have to travel for business purpose (rarely, thank God!) I take a 10-keyless keyboard with me, and if that's not possible, yes I type on the laptop's keyboard if I have to. For all other cases I have a full sized keyboard connected to my laptop through a port replicator.
As long as stores are willing to take my bitcoin and give me real products ranging from toilet paper to cars, houses and boats... is your statement holding any value?
I can relate on many counts (being on the wrong side of the Iron Courtain, discovering new authors after it has fallen, etc). Recently I downloaded a torrent called "The Book Case" which contains over 15K books in electronic format. of course, I cherry pick, currently at letter G (Gerard Klein to be more precise) and going. Many books I have re-read, some more than 10 times (!). I also discovered excellent authors I had never heard of, to my shame, such as China Mieville and Dan Simmons. Still reading as much as I can, between 1h and 2h daily, usually while commuting or having a meal. I also realized that my dreams are better and more vivid if I read books right before going to sleep.
Bitcoin has zero advantage or market hold compared to Litecoin or any other currency.
Good luck trying to find ONE online shop out there which accepts any cryptocurrency other than Bitcoin and Ethereum, with the latter being accepted by only a handful of shops out there. I would say that's a huge advantage,
I think that the less regulated the value of something is, the more it is connected to reality. If people panic and drive the price down abruptly, that's reality right there. Artificially maintaining the value of something is not reality at all.
This oughta be interesting. I don't think Intel wants to get into the end-user discrete GPUs. Rather they want a piece of the computing and deep learning market that nVidia started dominating as of late.
No worries, I have gained knowledge on these things because I have been doing hardware reviews and I had to learn these things. Now, it's pretty difficult to provide a holistic type of information on how these things work, but generally the CPU clock speed is generated by a crystal oscillator (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal_oscillator) which feeds a PLL (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase-locked_loop) to achieve required frequencies. Now, the oscillator resides on the motherboard and the PLL usually resides in the CPU itself for all modern CPUs (and GPUs), but not in the CPU "pill", so-to-speak, but in the neighboring area (which is covered by the IHS). When overclocking a CPU, you usually need to raise voltages, but modern CPUs have different voltages for different components. You can overvoltage the PLL itself, in a manner of speaking because the PLL voltage is clipped and you can increase that limit through the "PLL overvoltage" setting in the UEFI... and this is where I become a bit incoherent:( I am not very good at explaining these things, I'm a lousy teacher!
Have me overclock hardware and I do it well. Have me explain in detail what I am doing and I suck at it.
I do have children, I do understand the difference, and *audience gasps* my children also understand the difference between a cartoon and reality. Shocker, ain't it.
You mistake "traumatic" with "important", or rather a development keystone. I vividly remember burying my cat as well as going to a great country fair. Are you saying the country fair was traumatic too?

From the linked article:
to be black is to walk through the world and watch people doing things that you cannot do, that you can’t join in and do.
...such as?
Are you talking about the guy who made the allegations or those against who he sued? 'cause I really can't tell.

There are maybe 500 coins that had implemented that idea already... You're VERY late to the party :)
If it's open source... is it hidden?

Single's day is just how it all started. It has since become a mere hollow name.
Because you don't read enough books. That's your punishment.

If it was actually decentralized everybody could "mine" (calculate) the same coins and there would be no way to have trust.
You really have no idea how the blockchain works, do you?
If anything you should blame the British.
Bitcoin has zero advantage or market hold compared to Litecoin or any other currency.

With the difference that bitcoin can't close up shop. The "bitcoin" as an entity doesn't actually exist.

Are you sure? I think it's just as effective, as in "zilch" effective.
This oughta be interesting.

I'm sure Google is on the verge of bankruptcy following your account cancellation.
