arguing that the current regulated monetary system which regulated and supervised is the same as the bitcoin network is like comparing the criminal far west of 2 centuries ago with a moderately corrupt country today.
which 6% are you talking about ?
you do realize that bitcoin is mostly used by criminals for illegal transactions and by people who want to avoid income tax, don't you? And that it also is the heaven for money laundering.
yes you are wrong, 20k cycles are very good for mlc.can't bring up any citations now -- too lazy, but the latest mlc nand cells ( 20nm ) are down to like 5k or less
sure, you'd probably not be able to play the latest FPS on a laptop with a mobile gpu at playable frame rates at 2560*1600 resolution, BUT is that a serious argument for not having high resolution displays on laptops ? What's the percentage of people who buy laptops for the purpose of playing BF3 on them ? And just because there is a significant number of 17 people who wouldn't be able to play BF3 on their laptop at that resolution, laptops should not have that resolution ?
That's not the real scandal, or should I say is part of it. The real scandal is that the list has been in the government's hands for a couple of years and it has done nothing about it ( it's the same list leaked by a swiss man, and bought and used by the german, US and other governments to collect taxes ). Ex-ministers are saying that a) either they couldn't use the list because the data was not acquired legally or b) we gave the list to the greek IRS but they didn't do anything. There is even an ex-minister ( current leader of pasok ) who admitted he took the usb stick with the list to his home after he resigned from his position.
It's been about 6 years since i last used linux, however I think i would prefer android's polishing/gui etc over any linux distro of that timeframe ( 2006 ).
what's _really_ shocking is that a brand new website which promises to be COMPLETE AND FULL REFERENCE of platform X, a website not done by AMATEURS but by the biggest companies around with hundreds of billion of dollars available in their pockets, goes live incomplete and unfinished.
i hate playing the devil's advocate and i hate those fucktard greeks who say "when we built acropolis the rest were living in the trees", because people who only refer to the past, do not have a present or a future. Having said that, I'm sensing some kind of malice in your "dubious assertion" and that's why I will provide a clarifying link
yeah, he just explains how he and he conceived the prank when someone asked him to, followed by screenshots of the greek blogs and a newspaper ( eleftheri ora - free hour ) which reproduced the "miracle".
this guy had this page for a long time. he was mocking a (dead now) religious figure (father Paisios) who is supposed to have prophesied a lot of thing about the future of Greece and how Greece will take back lands from Turkey etc. etc. This father Paisios is very famous among the right-wing-religious-low-education nutjobs in Greece. Also a big deal of those prophecies have been constructed by others after his death. Also he is known for "miracles" that he has made after his death ( saving people blabla )
The problem was not the site that his guy had in facebook making fun of paisios. What hurt the religious nutjobs in Greece was the fact that this 27 years old guy, recently ( august if i'm not mistaken ) fabricated a new miracle of Paisios ( a story of how the mother of a young boy who had an accident and was in critical condition, visited the tomb of Paisios and the next day the boy miraculously came out of his coma ). So he spread word of his own fabricated miracle to a couple of Greek religious blogs and from then it was very easy for the most part of the (right,religious) Greek blogosphere and news site to reproduce the news. Hell, even a newspaper had a whole front page cover story on the miracle. The miracle was also front page in the Greek neo-nazi party ( golden dawn ) website
You can imagine now how the story ended. The guy came forward and said "gotcha, the miracle wasn't real, I just imagined it". So he actually trolled them and they bit hard. Of course that hurt a lot, and from that point it was only "logical" that those right-wing guys would ask for his arrest. The golden dawn party indeed brought the issue to the parliament.. and you know the rest.
yeah, it's a standard business practice: you have to convince the potential buyers that your product is somehow better than the other products available.. if you want to earn some.. bitcoins that is:-)

so wordpress will be a part of the money laundering network now?
wouldn't updating all phones to the latest android version be a better solution ?
excellent story!
shouldn't this slashvertisement appear around september 25 or so ?
Cleary they have to be wrong. GOP says that people with money will always invest their cash thus creating more jobs.
wrong. top500 measures double precision performance, not single.

your "assumptions" and "i will be impressed if..." are overly pessimistic. ever heard of http://bluebrain.epfl.ch/ ?

I remember seeing at least a couple of exactly the same articles on slashdot the past years...
http://science.slashdot.org/story/11/09/09/2346233/is-there-a-hearing-aid-price-bubble
http://ask.slashdot.org/story/10/03/13/1916203/why-are-digital-hearing-aids-so-expensive
has a slashdot staff a sensitivity towards the issue or something ?
It's been about 6 years since i last used linux, however I think i would prefer android's polishing /gui etc over any linux distro of that timeframe ( 2006 ).
If google provided with an official x86 port ( 64bit only ) we would already see pcs with android ( yes i know of http://www.android-x86.org/ )
that's my point: "it won't", not "it doesn't".
i do. it means rushing an unfinished product.
I know, I know, it's not the first time that companies rush unfinished products to consumers.
what's _really_ shocking is that a brand new website which promises to be COMPLETE AND FULL REFERENCE of platform X, a website not done by AMATEURS but by the biggest companies around with hundreds of billion of dollars available in their pockets, goes live incomplete and unfinished.
i was talking features, not design. this thing is missing stuff http://docs.webplatform.org/wiki/tutorials/optimizing_css http://docs.webplatform.org/wiki/tutorials/css_transforms
this site seems like the apple maps (in analogy) version of w3schools.

most of his chat with his friend about the story of the miracle is in screenshots, so google translate won't do much but here is the translated link http://translate.google.com/translate?sl=el&tl=en&js=n&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&layout=2&eotf=1&u=http%3A%2F%2Fvlahatasamis.blogspot.gr%2F2012%2F08%2Fblog-post_1999.html&act=url
