The blogger takes money to tell only one side of the story in the first place
Money has not been mentioned and on top of that how do you know? What is fairly obvious is that the releases don't not mention the other side at all. To me it seems that the releases are from only one side, and that person has an ax to grind.
A full release of what is available would be the solution.... but it may damage the left wing as well and it seems that whoever it is does not want that. Until then it just looks like a left wing conspiracy.
We need alot of more this kind of hackers. They keep tabs on us, invade our privacy, no reason not to do the same to them.
Hack the planet!
I am from New Zealand and I agree. However I do have an issue as to how it is done.
Unlike Snowden or Wikileaks it is exceedingly obvious that it (and I hate saying this because it is such a cliché) it is some sort of left wing conspiracy. We are only getting half of the story and the releases go to great pains to not damage the left wing.
If everything was released it would have more credibility (with me at least).
Out of curiosity, are you a new person saying that bitcoin is bonkers or are you one of the old ones that have been predicting the imminent failure of bitcoin for the past 5 years?
My follow up question will be;-
You have been wrong for the past five years, do you have plans to admit defeat any time soon or will you just start saying "I knew it would work all along?"
I have always thought that civilisations must accelerate there way from 0 on the Kardashev Scale (us 200 years ago, and we are not even close to type 1 yet) to 2 in a very sort period of time, perhaps 10,000 to 100,000 years. It certainly seems to be the scale we are on.
When they reach type 2 they are capturing & using all of the available energy from their star and would be totally invisible to us. No light, radio signals, zip, nana, nothing would be escaping from the civilisation or their solar system because they are capturing it and using it. As far as we are concerned they are undetectable.
Bitcoin's public/private key system avoids the issue all together.
With a credit card when you hand over your plastic you have effectively just handed over you private key for someone to copy with a magnetic strip reader, a photocopier or even something as old school like a pen and paper.
I would, except I had them all deposited at Mt. Gox.
Touché
I as meaning the public/private key technology though and not a crooked company involved with it though.
When all said and done, you can "hack" a credit card with a pen and paper, even a photocopier will work. The system as archaic and in need of a replacement.
The universe is so complex, there must be a supreme being guiding its creation
I highly doubt this as a conclusion.
History is full of things that could not be understood and therefore must be "the work of a supreme being" that have later been worked out and understood (fire for example). My preference is that there are just some things we don't understand yet.
I have a chronic disease that can be controlled through medication that already limits my lifespan.
Because of this I deliberately have no children or spouse and I avoid developing long term relationships.
My Parents are old and are unlikely to outlive me anyway.
I am aware of the implications of a one way trip to Mars and realise I wont be coming back and wont have any new companions for at least 10 years... if ever.
That's exactly what a Ponzi scheme is. Fraud, claiming that you are making money when you aren't, and paying out people from the money contributed by new investors.
As I have mentioned elsewhere.
You should also probably look up Ponzi's as well, it is not some generic term you can trough at any sort of fraud. It is a specific type of fraud that does not apply here (MtGOX never returned a percentage per day/week/month/year as interest).
If 51% of miners got together they could in theory stop the FBI from using that wallet (it is actually an address, not a wallet but that is another story).
They would have to continue to do so though, and once they stop the FBI could then use the funds. One of the tennents of bitcoin is that it is very hard (if not near imposable) to confiscate/block/invalidate etc someone else's funds.
Even though the guy does not sell the ones he builds he got together with a German company a while ago called Ikarus. You can now buy micro-helicopters all over the Internet at places like http://www.slyshobbyden.net/fun_piccolo .

Anyone else tempted to get them to build a forth wall?
That way even if there are tornadoes we will not even here about it ;) .

And yes, I am serious. I am now going to get my flame suite on though.
Most likely they are getting strong armed by the USA or the EU.
It is the US, ever since 9/11 the US has mandated a pile of legislation changes that their trading partners must make.
With any luck NZ will make the changes and then never enforce them.
Miles is an archaic form of measurement. If you want to get into space you need to use something a bit more modern.

I remember a saying when I was learning programming;-
With C it is easy to shoot yourself in the foot, with C++ it is a lot harder, but when you do shoot yourself in the foot you take your entire leg off.

Send me.
that's fraud and practically a Ponzi scheme.
Yep, it is total fraud, but it is not "practically a Ponzi scheme", it is just plain old fraud.
That's exactly what a Ponzi scheme is. Fraud, claiming that you are making money when you aren't, and paying out people from the money contributed by new investors.

I am not sure that this will catch on given that iDevices need it every day.
Sort of...

*cough* bitcoin *cough*
Someone there would have patterned it and it would have been tied up in the court's for years!
We would end up having to pay the pattern holder if we were demonstrated to have mass.
How could it possably be anyone else?
Just downloaded the update and turned on the "Personal Hostpot" feature on the 3GS.
It only works through USB or Bluetooth.
I would give it a good home!
