  1. Re:Punish Trolls on Lawyer Attempts To Trademark Bitcoin · · Score: 1

    It could still be fiat money even if it wasn't issued by a government. It isn't fiat money because there is a fixed amount of bitcoins. Mining just discovers bitcoins out of that fixed amount.

    Sorry, you fail in your understanding of a free market system.

    There was no reason we had to borrow money from China. We could have kept borrowing from the Fed. Though I don't really know if we borrowed it from China or they bought our debt after we borrowed it.

    but from an ethical point of view, I think it just brought more suffering to the kid.

    Some people have a ethical standard that says that life with suffering is better than no life at all.

  17. The line isn't that sharp on Take This GUI and Shove It · · Score: 1

    I think in some GUI's (if not then it is posible) you can select a bunch or machines, save that configuration, then every time you have to make a change you click on a file the GUI comes up and there all the machines already selected are for you.

  19. Routers on There Is No Plan B, the Ugly Transition To IPv6 · · Score: 1

    Have routers use IPv6 and regular computers use IPv4 and reclaim the IPv4 addresses used by the routers. Use IPv4 tunnelling. I think I've got that right.
