But it was going UP UP UP! The reason why people held on to it was the deflationary nature of the currency guaranteed that in the long run the value of your account would appreciate, at least until the whole thing imploded and became totally worthless.
Frankly, I'm shocked it has gone on as long as it has. I thought it was going to be a flash in the pan scam, with the original guys selling their horde of early mined coins and then leaving the suckers to hold the bag, but it seems like the suckers were much better at finding other suckers than I expected.
I hope you are not serious, because that is the craziest thing I've heard all week. As far as I know Mt. Gox has not even explained why (or how) it lost so much money in the first place and now they want us to give them more.
Shoot, if you think sudoers is complex, I have a whole world to show you with Windows ACLs. Ask someone who has been tasked with securing a Windows box and yet still making sure all of its authorized applications work how much they like ACLs. I dare you.
Yeah, it seems pretty clear that if your local carriers overcharge for SMS then WhatApp is already big in your country. If not, then it's a niche thing people use to text overseas.
What's mind blowing is that Apple has not released an iMessage app for Android, so iPhone users aren't forced to ditch it when one of their friends switches.
Wow, that's quite a troll there. Wrong facts so people can "correct" you, hyperbolic complaints designed to issue the same. It's got quite the feature list.
It's certainly not perfect, but it helps. Reducing the load from "everybody cheats, get over it" to "you can kick the occasional cheater you find from the match" is a huge improvement.
Explaining something does not justify it. They should not go rummaging through my computer. Period.
You do understand what Valve Anti-Cheat is trying to do right? By definition it has to go rummaging through your computer to find third party cheat applications. If you don't like this, then you need to play games that don't have anti-cheating measures in place. They're a little hard to find though, because those games online communities tend to be destroyed by the cheaters.
There have been some efforts to reclaim unused but assigned addresses that have given some extra life to the v4 system as well. Most of the savings have been from aggressively deploying NAT wherever possible though.
Certain students, academics and professionals may access the internet in a supervised format. Areas of research and specific websites must be submitted to a human monitor who must approve the sites and who remains in the computer room to ensure users only access what has been approved
That really puts the people who complain about the UK being a nanny state into contrast doesn't it? Just imagine what could be done if all of that manpower could be used towards doing useful work instead.
Please don't compare experimental science with historical evidence science.
Don't all experiments become historical after you've performed them? I'm confused as to what exactly the distinction here is. What if your experiment uses historical data? This distinction makes no sense at all.
I don't think it reflects badly on FOSS as a whole, it just shows that Stallman doesn't seem to know when he is in over his head, and is too difficult to work with to attract a sizable developer base for support. It is true that Open Source projects need a sensible leader just as much as regular companies do, but that shouldn't be a surprise. I guess there is one problem in FOSS where, especially on non-megahuge projects, when the original leader steps down there is no meta-organization (like some sort of open source CEO) to appoint a new one, and if nobody volunteers a project can flounder and die. I've seen this happen to many projects over the years, even ones I still use despite minimal maintenance for several years.
Notable examples of this include WindowMaker (which did see a new release a couple of months ago, so maybe someone cares again), and Pan, which was by far the best newsreader available to people with powerful machines but died right around the time most ISPs were pulling their free Usenet access.
Is the Windows Mobile store really so bad that it doesn't have a basic e-reader? Why is it so exciting that Microsoft is building one? Doesn't everybody have an e-reader app these days?
I guess it's mildly interesting if they can deliver a bunch of content "for free" to XBLive Gold members or something, but I don't see anything in the article about that.
It is price structured like that because they don't have competition. If there were a true broadband competition, then their broadband only plan would be ridiculously uncompetitive. It's monopoly pricing through and through. That's why they're scared to death of municipal broadband and have been writing laws to ban it as fast as they possibly can.

Having a better feature set is a moot point if you have no users.

I was going to list Windows ACLs and SELinux as examples, but left them out in the hopes of avoiding fanboy flames from both sides.
The flipside of this is security systems so complex that regular system administrators have basically no chance of setting them up properly.

It allows Facebook to link people's profiles with real phone numbers.

Wasn't the problem something like a script injection attack on a webpage can open up any random port on your router?
A home router that is not by default secure on it's WAN side is defective.

ARIN only handles North America. Other regions use their own pools of addresses.
Some statistics.

That's strange. I installed a smoke alarm in my garage years ago and it has never given me a false positive.

What the hell is a "kind" of animal? That doesn't fit in the taxonomy at all. A theory is not a theory if you don't define the terms.
In what way does a regular 3D printer not respect someone's privacy?
"Your signature project has been in development hell for over 20 years, how do you respond?"
"Finishing is not crucial"

Video Streaming services put you in licensing hell. I really hope Valve isn't too serious about it.
