Online gaming services make it clear what is unacceptable behavior when it comes to bullying. Do services such as Facebook, Twitter, etc. have similar terms and conditions? Why don't schools and parents leverage these mechanisms to address bullying?
Bitcoin and other crypto currencies all have a weakness. They rely upon security of end devices to provide security of the money. Banks have been targets for cyber attacks but tend to have separate networks to secure operations to move money. Security of mobile and desktop are not robust enough to meet requirements to protect money.
Regarding the concept of advantage/disadvantage in 5th Edition. Here is an interesting article that discusses probability of a second dice roll being less than the first. The example uses a 6th sided dice but a formula is provided that can be used for a d20.
Is posting violent, vile, malicious, sadistic, and derogatory comments towards individuals acceptable behavior? Sorry others cannot throw the 'I'm just being honest' card to excuse unacceptable behavior.
News broadcasts focus too much on delivering entertainment. The integration of social media and commenting services creates an environment in which consumers has too much of an active role in shaping the news. These platforms encourage narcissistic behavior and shrill comments which make little difference in focusing on the facts.
Look around. There are differences between countries. Legal frameworks and governance matters. Just compare Mexico and the United States. Be honest with yourself and ask what country would you rather live in?
The government has every right to determine whom and what is coming into the United States. International visitors are asked to file paper work with the government to report a number of items (large sums of money, plant/food products, money making equipment, etc.).
The notion that common ordinary folks can't pick up programming today is ludicrous. The free software is available to anyone with a connection to the Internet. I taught myself Basic and assembly language at the age of 8 on an ATARI computer back in the mid-80s. Microsoft offers a free product called SMALL Basic that can be used to teach anyone to program.
Google claims the moral high ground of protecting privacy while at the same time maximizing profits by exploiting your web activity.
Companies like Facebook mine all of your posts for the purpose of targeting advertising to get you, or your friends, to buy products and services - that you honestly do not need
Companies are getting hacked left and right and your personal information and credit cards are getting stolen. All of this is going on and yet Slashdot posters continue to assail government agencies? Amazing.
Thanks for the information and you make a good point on the first but not the second. I read the news Wiki articles and it appears there is evidence to support your point about the 1954 Coup and John Stockwell.
The posts about Snowden are allegations that the government gave information to US companies but there is no evidence cited to support this allegation. His supposition is built on the premise that the US government had access to the information thus they must be giving it to US companies.
What were the charges that the Feds used against gangsters back in the day? The tax implication will provide a mechanism to go against those using Bitcoin illegally. I do not believe miners are criminals. However this news does put them in a sticky situation.
While I agree with you that certain Americans benefit off the corrupt policies of foreign interventionism and leveraging our power with exploited contracts and trade barriers, spying on foreign businesses to give US ones unfair advantages with the NSA, some of us recognize this isn't ethical. Rationalizing such behavior sounds cruel and insinuating that an emotional response isn't also backed up with good reasons and provable facts is unfair.
Assuming the IRS doesn't start auditing the block chain to track transactions
The Feds next step will be to start regulating transactions on/off exchanges. To assess tax implications you will need to provide a social security number and address for tax purposes. At that point they will process the ledger and link transactions to individuals.
Will this spell the beginning of the end of Bitcoin?

Does the ruling mean that broadband service providers are not able to block ingress/egress of traffic to servers hosted on the consumers network?
I would be interested in learning how your civil rights being taken away. Can you elaborate?
The time has come for ./ to stop bashing the government and NSA.

The advantage/disadvantage system in 5th edition simplifies certain aspects of the game. The following article provides math to calculate the probability of a second dice roll being less (or greater) than the first.
For a d20 there is a 0.475 chance that the second dice roll with be greater (or less) than the first.
One would need to calculate the numbers for stacking bonuses to determine which system provides greater odds of success.

They must have gained enough XP to gain access to a new rhetoric feat.

Makes me wonder if the increase in FOIA requests corresponds to the rise of the Tea Party? These folks are anti-government regardless of the agency.

Well said. If folks want to learn to program they are going to have to work at it.

Societies have rejected homosexual behavior for centuries. Why is there now a push to make this behavior acceptable now?
Recall the quote from a presidential election. Something like "I was against it before I was before it" or some nonsense like that.

If NSA would have been involved in making TCP/IP would people have used it?
There is a lot of hate being spewed at the NSA these days. Totally ridiculous title that needs to be changed by a Slashdot moderator.

It appears that China and France are actively engaged in Industrial espionage. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I...
Thanks for that post. Very insightful.

What are the facts to support these claims?
