And a "seriously, what the fuck" of my own: Slashdot, why the fuck don't you show the score in the heading line any more? WTF? I can see from my comments page that the parent was modded up one. I have no idea what the fucking moderation was though!
So here's my question(s): how does a Bitcoin keep you anonymous, when it is (a file that is ultimately) a number? How does one guarantee transferring ownership of a number without the seller retaining a copy?
The law shouldn't have large sections that are only used when you piss off a federal agent / judge.
I was in NYC recently. The subway there has a sign stating that assaulting a NY transportation authority personnel will result in some number of years in prison. Sadly, it did not also state what assaulting a "regular dweeb" would result in.
My take? We now have at least two classes of citizens. In writing.
Long term, we are going to regret not having taken a harder line, not taken steps to preserve our economic independence.
Well, if they're hacking us, I think we just regained our independence; at least, according to recent US officials' statements regarding hacking and war.
Do you really want to give people incentive to kill you after they've stolen from you? That's what happened in old England when they made laws punishing pickpockets with death, and it will likely be the end result of your suggestion as well.
See also their site, where you can download the ISO for free, and donate to them so they can make the next movie (Zeitgeist: Beyond the Pale). Thanks btw, I've seen the first two and didn't know there was a third. The torrent is fast.
I've pretty much stopped watching TV. I mean I still have a DVR and it's approaching capacity, but I just can't be bothered to watch any of that crap.
It's much more fun (and I say this with only a very tiny bit of my tongue in my cheek) to watch my society tear itself apart at the seams, here on Slashdot.
I think Golddess meant the "3 accusations of downloading and you lose your internet" laws that are making the rounds in the countries that for some reason want to view the video shit that the USA is productizing.

How about "remove troops from line of fire"; "don't start land wars in Afghanistan"; and other choice wisdom from ages past.

Yes, but will I realize this before I'm disappeared? (Um, no.)
Your signature is sadly telling, in this discussion.
Absent paper trails, they're abusing your rights.

Not so sure about that. You want to hide who you're having sex with from someone; which does not mean you're being unfaithful, either.
BURN YOUR TRASH.
Well, I really liked the fortune at the bottom of the page: "Once harm has been done, even a fool understands it. -- Homer"
Uh, yeah, so your regex had no effect on the input stream.
"My driver's foot is heavier. I'll activate the ejector seat so I can compete with you."
"You can't make an RSS reader out of a car."
"No," said Samuel, "but you can make very crashy car."
From both this comment and the other story about the Mad Max-style vehicles in Mexico's drug war, I'm hearing Tina Turner in my head.
I love old people. I'm fast becoming one. :)
Your link ends in .php. InfoDragon warned us about this drug.

I don't want "early value" for being separated with my cash, thanks.

Fruit flies like a banana.
Friended you based on this post. Thought you should know.
