  1. Re:Another reason I'm not a Bitcoin thousandaire on Youbit Shuts Down Cryptocurrency Exchange After Second Hack, Files For Bankruptcy (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    It's not that hard to run a wallet and make backups. Don't leave your money in an exchanger...

    The average person isn't able to make backups on a PC. They won't do any better managing their bitcoins.

  2. Re:Grab 'n' tab on Walmart Is Planning a Store Without Cashiers (recode.net) · · Score: 1

    I suppose one good outcome is, it would deter people from removing items from one shelf and then later dropping them off on the wrong shelf. That's inconsiderate to other shoppers and store employees alike, I hate when people do that, it's lazy and ignorant.

    Agreed, but it does give me a chuckle to see the can of baked beans in the bread isle.

  3. WTF am I supposed to do about it? Grab my gun and run in to help, firing every which way like Yosemite Sam? Yes, that would help the situation.

  4. Re:scambase on Coinbase Adds Support For Bitcoin Cash [Update: Disabled] · · Score: 1

    So far, I haven't had any trouble transferring. Haven't tried to sell yet.

  5. Re:I would like to believe that. on US Says North Korea 'Directly Responsible' For WannaCry Ransomware Attack (npr.org) · · Score: 1

    Which is why we need someone nobodies ever heard of.

  6. If I buy at $100, it goes up to $900 and then plummets, I might sell it at $400-500. Not at the peak, but I'd still make plenty of $$$.

  7. Re:As a Bitcoin fanboy who expects it go higher... on SEC Warns 'Extreme Caution' Over Cryptocurrency Investments As Many People Take Out Mortgages To Buy Bitcoin (qz.com) · · Score: 1

    Absolutely this!! Even most bitcoin bulls say to only invest what you can afford to lose.

  8. Re:I've seen a UFO, and it demonstrated science on Ask Slashdot: What Is Your View On UFO Sightings? · · Score: 1

    I've seen a UFO. To this day I don't know what it was. It probably wasn't full of little green aliens, but it was an object, it was flying, and it was unidentified.

  9. Re:So... on Bitcoin Nears $17,000 After Climbing About $4,000 in Less Than a Day · · Score: 1

    My mom asked me about bitcoin. I told her that it could go either way. She could make a bunch, lose whatever she put in, or anything in between. As long as it's a small amount, I don't see any problem with it.

  10. Re:So... on Bitcoin Nears $17,000 After Climbing About $4,000 in Less Than a Day · · Score: 1

    I got in with $100 and nearly doubled that. I'm not quitting my day job anytime soon, but I might easily walk away with a nice return on my investment.

  11. Re:So... on Bitcoin Nears $17,000 After Climbing About $4,000 in Less Than a Day · · Score: 2

    You don't need "that sort" of money. I don't have anywhere near 1 bitcoin, and at this rate probably never will, but what I do have is worth a lot more than when I bought it. Whether that will still be true by the time I get home this evening is anyone's guess. :p

  12. Re: So... on Bitcoin Nears $17,000 After Climbing About $4,000 in Less Than a Day · · Score: 1

    I don't know of any minimum for Coinbase. I know you can buy a lot less than 0.1 BTC (because I did). Assuming CB hasn't crumbled under the traffic.

  13. Re:Pull Him Out of Public School on Ask Slashdot: How Do I Explain Copyright To My Kids? · · Score: 2

    Knowledge of rockets and explosives would be useful in the public school I went to.

  14. Re:Cut the cord? What cord? on 40 Percent of America Will Cut the Cord By 2030, New Report Predicts (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    Not really. When I was young, I had a black & white TV with 3 channels. I had cable for decades, and though I've trimmed the cord, I still haven't cut it entirely.

  15. Re:The problem with killer robots.... on Russia Says It Will Ignore Any UN Ban of Killer Robots (ibtimes.com) · · Score: 1

    Sounds like a Star Trek episode.

  16. Or maybe they meant to name it after the father. "Bum On Board".

  17. Re:S'all good man on Coinbase Ordered To Report 14,355 Users To the IRS (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    In theory, you can mine your own bitcoin and buy stuff with bitcoin and stay away from exchanges.

    In theory.

  18. Re:I doubt it on Study Finds Dogs Are Brainier Than Cats (vanderbilt.edu) · · Score: 1

    I can train a dog to fetch a stick. My mom's cat trains mom to fetch fish for her. Which one is smarter?

  19. The quality has really gone to sh I. T.

  20. The guy who mows my yard isn't a kid. He also gets a lot more than MY $50 a month. He doesn't just mow one yard.

  21. Re:Totally different model of behavior on Apology After Japanese Train Departs 20 Seconds Early (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Here in the US, if I'm at the bus stop at 15:13, it probably left at 15:10 or 15:11. If I get there early, the bus won't get there until 15:20 or 15:25. Where's Mussolini when you need him?

  22. Or, like I like to put it, these people all speak vulgar Latin.

    I thought that was what the Romans used when they told fart jokes.

    By the time you put all those thousands of Chinese characters on a laptop keyboard, the damn machine would be as big as those room-sized mainframes!

  24. Is it really dead? on 'Black Friday Is Dying' (fastcompany.com) · · Score: 1

    Or does it just smell that way?

    It especially sucks if you're trying to look up how to access the internet.
