    If you don't mine, you don't get new blocks. If you don't get new blocks... well, that's how the blockchain works.

  3. Re:Apple defending shit on Bug In iOS, OS X Allows AirDrop To Write Files Anywhere On File System · · Score: 5, Funny

    That's because Windows has complex security holes that require a lot of hacking. With this flaw, Apple clearly shows that hacking "just works" on their devices.

  4. Re:Hugs. on Facebook Is Building an 'Empathy Button' · · Score: 1

    A "Hug" button would actually makes sense. You can't "like" a post that says "my relative died". A hug would be a perfect button to represent empathy.

    Our town still has a law that "all carriages must be attached when parked". Since a car is nothing more than a motorized carriage, I attach my car with a rope when I park it. Even the cop wouldn't believe me.

    Yeah but it's lossy compression.

    That's exactly the kind of thing the machines wants you to do. I propose a system with something similar to letters, with each letter representing a value.

    Not only that, but it makes free publicity for the song. Worst case scenario, have YouTube add a link to iTunes/Amazon/etc to buy it. It doesn't harm the people putting the video on YouTube, it doesn't generate hate toward the labels and it has the potential to actually make money instead of wasting it on lawyers and wasting the government/public money on lawsuits.

    I'm 43 and I wouldn't even want the job. Yes I've been a gamer since the early days (Intellivision) but seeing the crap being sold as games these days, plus the social media shit on top of it all - I can't understand the appeal of it all. I mean, you want to Tweet your fucking achievements? In my days, the only achievement you had was being able to finish a game, which was pretty hard for most games. These days you have infinite lives, infinite retries, time rewinding, etc. You shouldn't even be proud to finish the damn game at all.

    The only way I'd accept the job would be if it were for a sub-division within the company which only targets older gamers who want "classic/retro" games.

    Now get off my virtual lawn!

    The company says it found no evidence the employee was directed to do so by management.

    Alright people, listen up! We have a spy in our ranks. We're not ordering or even asking anyone to search for the spy, but if one of you should happen to stumble into any bit of information about this, please keep in mind that we do offer a huge bonus.

    Don't waste people's time and quality by jerking them around with arbitrary format choices on your end, give them lossless and let them choose to downconvert on their own as they wish.

    It's funny because your own "arbitrary format choice" about using FLAC means more work to get a file I can use (AAC or ALAC) on OS X, iTunes, iPod and iPhone. Same thing about using a VOB directory vs a single m4v file.

    Not that I care anyway, because I'm a nice little citizen and I pay for my media because otherwise the people running the RIAA and MPAA wouldn't be able to afford caviar and such, starving to death in their Rolls-Royce while being driven around by their chauffeur.
