    He's probably referring to this:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tower_of_Babel#Greek_Apocalypse_of_Baruch

    "Those who gave counsel to build the tower, for they whom thou seest drove forth multitudes of both men and women, to make bricks; among whom, a woman making bricks was not allowed to be released in the hour of child-birth, but brought forth while she was making bricks, and carried her child in her apron, and continued to make bricks. And the Lord appeared to them and confused their speech..."

    Just like anyone with your wallet can access all of your credit cards.

    "Stores Card Data In Plain Text"

    isn't quite the same thing as

    "suggest that the data stored in plain text might be sufficient to allow social engineering to obtain a credit card number"

    Driving is a separate action from drinking or taking drugs.

    Anyway, Google and others are working on driverless cars. Hopefully the problem will resolve itself.

    "So it looks like this index is a load of crap."

    Or maybe they don't have the resources to connect to every single torrent tracker in existence?

    It had a correct listing for something I downloaded two weeks ago.

    And that has nothing to do with what the parent post was talking about.

  23. Re:Speculation on Value of Bitcoin "Crashes" · · Score: 1

    From the bitcoin wiki:

    One Bitcoin is divisible down to eight decimal places. There are really 2,099,999,997,690,000 (just over 2 quadrillion) maximum possible atomic units in the bitcoin design.

    The value of "1 BTC" represents 100,000,000 of these. In other words, each is divisible by up to 10^8.

    As the value of the unit of 1 BTC grows too large to be useful for day to day transactions, people can start dealing in smaller units, such as milli-bitcoins (mBTC) or micro-bitcoins (μBTC).
