What I meant was, today's websites are extremely memory-intensive. Megabytes after megabytes of frameworks and libraries, megabytes of HTML and CSS and dozens of megabytes of images for one website. Those Hi-DPI/Retina/I-don't-care-what-you-call-them displays require higher resolution images. Each time you increase resolution by two in each dimensions, that's four times as much RAM just to store them. The system also has to store the compressed version at least once to de-compress it. Then add the ludicrous invention that is animated-GIF-as-video-replacement and that's a few hundred megabytes per image on top of everything else.
You may think one gigabyte of RAM is a lot, but when you start wasting it with unoptimized crap and other nonsense, it dissapears faster than a snowman in the middle of summer.
That's still better than the old money, where 90% of the wealth is owned by 0.1% of the people. Your numbers prove that crypto-currencies are 400% more fair for everyone!
Add on top of that, the current method for verifying transactions won't be necessary much longer and things are about to get much more efficient (100x).
Is there another BTC fork planned? Will it be approved by everyone, including the Bitcoin Core team? Will the mining farms switch to it, will they have any choice?
"After a fairly shaky start to the day, Arthur's mind was beginning to reassemble itself from the shell-shocked fragments the previous day had left him with.
He had found a Nutri-Matic machine which had provided him with a plastic cup filled with a liquid that was almost, but not quite, entirely unlike tea.
The way it functioned was very interesting. When the Drink button was pressed it made an instant but highly detailed examination of the subject's taste buds, a spectroscopic analysis of the subject's metabolism and then sent tiny experimental signals down the neural pathways to the taste centers of the subject's brain to see what was likely to go down well. However, no one knew quite why it did this because it invariably delivered a cupful of liquid that was almost, but not quite, entirely unlike tea."

Either I need to take my morning coffee or something doesn't add up...
A report on the Motherboard website said Flatley explained that this change meant that the speed at which one could brute-force passwords went from 45 attempts a second to one every 18 seconds. "Your crack time just went from two days to two months".
Okay, so from 45 attempts per second to 1 attempt per 18 seconds. That means that previously there was 810 attempts per 18 seconds, now there is only 1 attempt.
If the crack time used to be 2 days, shouldn't it have gone up to 1620 days, not 2 months?
The first burden of proof is copyright ownership. If Kodak really has a good technical implementation of this, this is huge. And if it's de-centralized like most other crypto-currencies then it means people can't hack the ownership of the photos.

Your Android phone probably has a lot less RAM available than your Windows computer.

It's still not too late to buy a few thousand Digibyte, Reddcoin and Dogecoin.

The only collectibles with excellent liquidity are wines.

And then people complain when Tesla only makes hundreds of cars per month...

And that project was launched after a general watched this movie.

I fucking hate pendants too!
There is a difference between dropping diversity as a business necessity and denying minorities' right to exist.
Doctor: Now, just count backwards from 100... that's it... 99... 98... 97...
Nerd: Wow, that's too fucking long, doc. Let's try it my way: for (ctr=100; ctr>0; ctr--) echo ctr; [falls unconscious]
Wrong thread, buddy.
It seems propofol is not quite 100% perfect yet.
Hello and welcome to the Bitcoin conference!
You can pay the admission fee in Litecoin, Dogecoin, Reddcoin, Dash, Monero, Ethereum... even freakin' Mooncoins. But not in Bitcoin.

What part of "always connected" did you not understand?
Because that's how I understood it.
But all you're talking about is the law.

Oh noes! The bad guys will access my game textures!
Impressive indeed.
