So your point is that the conspiracy survived so long, it outlived its usefulness. Sounds like it was successful to me! Also, I'm sure that some parents actually do believe that carrots improve your vision, and that is why they tell their kids, who will tell their kids and so forth.
I'm saying it's a conspiracy to get the public to believe something that is untrue that many people have known about and has been successful for the better part of a century, which refutes the article's presupposition that this formula can predict whether a conspiracy is probable or not.
Want a conspiracy that has succeeded after over 70 years? Believe that carrots are good for your eyes? Nope, this was a rumor spread by Britain's air ministry to prevent the Russians from finding out about their new radar system. And yet a lot of people still believe that carrots are good for your eyes to this day.
How about UFO's? The CIA spread disinformation about UFO's in the 1950's and 1960's to hide their experimental aircraft program. Another example of a conspiracy that took hold with the general public and survived to this day.
It's not amount of time since the event occurred, or the number of people involved, it's the cover story that makes the conspiracy succeed or fail.
Take the percentage of bitcoin drug transactions as compared with all bitcoin transactions and view that against the same with cash, and you'll see an entirely different picture.
Bitcoin is primarily for illegal activity right now.
Whether there is a bug or not really depends on the libraries you link against. In 2039, cout stands for "computer out" which releases a sentient AI that is able to take over the world. "Hello World!" is the last thing anyone will hear.
And said apprentice defeated Finn even after getting shot with Chewie's bowcaster and running hundreds of meters outside to confront the heroes in the forest.
I realize that exercise isn't a priority for most geeks, but I think we can both understand that at least a normal human being, much less a highly skilled jedi knight is able to run around the block and not pass out from exertion.
The goal of terrorism is terror. A populace living in fear is a victory for terrorists. It's as simple as that.
That's like saying the goal of kicking a football is to have it fly in the air. That result will happen, obviously, but winning the game by making a field goal would likely be the true goal of the person who kicked it.
ISIL are terrorists. They don't have the means to take over the world and they are well aware of that fact. What they can do is employ guerilla warfare and terror tactics to sow seeds of uneasiness or outright fear so that those who don't belong in their clique will think twice about opposing them or even badmouthing them.
Sony PSN and XboxLive use a different protocol then Google or Amazon. It's likely there are more expensive operations that the former networks have to support. It's like having a doorbell that plays a very long musical tone for the pizza man which the Jehovah's witness are continually pressing. And you aren't playing the game... probably because you have no idea what you are talking about.
I think if you truly understand filtering and packet inspection, you could frame it in a way where you are talking about Jehovah's witnesses. The OP clearly stated the Jehovah's witnesses impersonate the legitimate door knockers.
Terrorism is a tactic, and terrorist is someone who employs that tactic to achieve an end. If the terrorist hasn't achieved the end, they haven't won. If you read about ISIS and what they're trying to accomplish, it's in line with "Death to all infidels!". They are really about taking over the world.
Politicians, on the other hand, want power and control, and scaring the populace into handing it over has been a standard tactic since practically forever. Threats such as terrorism give them a way to do it. And given the ridiculous extent of the bending over by the public as in examples such as this, it's pretty obvious by now that they practically own us.
The second paragraph was supposed to be some kind of rebuttal to the first paragraph. Of course it didn't make any sense, wasn't related to the topic in any way, except that Liz was a woman and ESR was attacking women's groups, but logic isn't needed for these sorts of things.
This may not have been a ponzi scheme actually. What Trevor was probably attempting to do is equivalent to short selling a stock into oblivion. Namely, he was borrowing all the bitcoin he could and then dumping it on the market, hoping he'd have a big enough influence to push the price down enough to make up for his 1% interest per 3 days.
What he did with the money after selling the bitcoin, (the Las Vegas dinners, and gambling, etc.) doesn't really matter to the business plan, and therefore irrelevant. After all, if you are trying to crash the price of bitcoin to $0, and you succeed, then the cash you received from selling it isn't needed anymore.
The only problem is that he failed to sell enough of it fast enough. So, in reality, it is just like any other hedge fund that shorts on stocks, and the fact that it failed should really just be a notice to the investors to be careful of high risk investments.
Because no one wants to support it and risk having the emojis they really want not getting in. A member of the unicode board can only realistically support so many emojis before some of them are up for the chopping block. And who is going to suggest chopping regular smily face? It'd be political suicide!

So they can destroy Seoul in one strike, then?
SSL is specifically designed to defeat MITM attacks.
Because if the ssl certificate doesn't match the domain name, then the browser will know it.
No shit?
Only if they can get the courts to force a silicon valley company to do it for them
How many USA voters that registered Republican do you think are in their sane mind?
I actually tried this with rm -rf -i /first/*.* but it didn't work. Maybe they fixed it?

Start with "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe" and finish the rest of the Chronicles of Narnia from there...

For some reason, I read that as "NBA Cheerleaders Discover..."

No, they do want to take over the world: http://www.theatlantic.com/mag...
Politicians just take advantage of the openings creating by such terrorists.
We agree, and I'd argue they've won at this point. Care to differ?

Sorry, no, the politicians have won. The terrorists win when we've all destroyed each other.

You use windows, don't you?
ant, gradle and maven are hardly designed for women, either. Stop picking on make!
