I'm a student at Rice, where James Tour teaches. First semester my freshman year, I made the mistake of trying to take Organic Chemistry with James Tour as my professor.
That class proved to me that I was not, in fact, a chemical engineer.
I switched to Computer Science the next year, but it always makes me laugh seeing Prof. Tour's name.
If you want to beat piracy, here's a checklist: 1. One website on which to sell the movies 2. Streaming or download at your leisure cross-platform 3. A price that is reasonable (at least, considered reasonable by some portion of people; don't get snippity with me)
If you skip any of those, I will still be able to pirate it more easily. I once spent 15 minutes trying to find a legitimate way to watch a movie on my Linux laptop. If you want me to buy stuff, don't make it so difficult.
The more I read about Dorian Nakamoto, the more I want him to be Satoshi. That would make it an even better story.
Unfortunately as it stands, this is just a story of a journalist with an obsession and some amount of tunnel-vision. The more you want something to be true, the more blind you are to evidence against it.
I know a guy who recently became an "officer" of a large corporation. He's a lawyer who's climbed his way up the corporate ladder, and his most recent promotion has added him to the group of officers (150 officers out of the 250k employees)
When I asked him what an officer was, he said, "It's a person who gets paid more than they're worth."

Nope. This is exactly what I expected. Thanks for playing.
Also, why do you have a link-bait title? Have we stooped so low?
And I wish more of the remaining 56% would follow suit...
the more I either like him or consider him a lunatic... or both. I can't decide.
Learn from nature! Google needs a genetic algorithm that modifies itself every flu season.
The fittest algorithm will survive to infect thousands.
I can't wait for the headline "Presidential Tesla catches fire while stopped on the highway"
Whatever happened to the fires?
You were doing good until you started off with 'meaningful'.
So when he hadn't typed anything at all, his message was doing well...

At least he got a free lunch.

This man is a bit of a remorseful capitalist.
