Quite simply put, no BitCoin exchange -- neither Tradehill nor Mt. Gox -- is going to be able to comply with the Bank Secrecy Act.
Totally not true. They have to record cash transactions for negotiable instruments. They have to report cash transactions over $10,000. Most of them did not deal in cash at all, but in credit or debit cards and paypal, all of which is easily recorded. The act makes no mention of tracking the negotiable instruments (bitcoin) after they are sold.
I've got no problem with these design decisions from valuable end-user testing being used to setup defaults but both Gnome and unity seem hell-bent on FORCING you to use their new design paradigms and guess what? It just doesn't suit all use cases.
This being open source, it didn't take long for a whole bunch of options, wokarounds and custom docks to appear but for fuck's sake stop telling me how to use MY computer.
That sums it up for me as well. Do what you want but let me keep my shit!
Am currently reasonably happy with KDE - Don't think I'll be going anywhere near Unity or Gnome for a very long time.
Probably why Ubuntu is dumping it, then. There are not enough face-palm pictures on the entire Internet for this shit.
OK. You like it. I don't. It interferes with my workflow. It makes everything take longer. It makes me curse more. The only difference is that you can still have what you want, while everyone tells me I am wrong and is removing support from what I want.
As for the last objection, "dragging and dropping an object causes an unpredictable IPC interaction," WTF? How the fuck does drag-and-drop cause problems in 2012, the year of jet-packs and flying cars?
Because we now have more stupid people using computers. I mean really... Drag and drop is even consistent between Windows and most flavours of Linux. (clt-drag to copy and shift-drag to move) Wow...
So Gnome does what it wants, not what I want it to do. And it takes me more mouse click and keystrokes to do anything than it did in Gnome 2. Why?!?
Because YOU ARE WRONG! At least that is the message I seem to be getting from Gnome and Ubuntu lately. "We are all about choice as long as you make the right one." Respectfully, gentleman, shove it!
I am all for experimentation and choice. Gnome wants to remove that choice. They think everything should be maximised and have said so. Soon they won't just hide the ability, but actively remove it. (Like they did with ctl-alt-bksp) That is my problem with this crap. Try anything you want. Make a UI entirely out of giant penises if you want. But don't take my preference away.
Ooops... Since I avoid Sony like the plague, I had not even looked at Star Wars: Galaxies. Why look at something you know you will not use? So I did not know that no one else looked at it either.:)
No, that is fine. They need more time in testing for stability. If the crap was stable, no one would have actually noticed it. And that is the scary part, and why I have no Sony software on anything I own.
The thing that leaped out at me was "Canadians enjoy among the fastest, most widely available and least expensive broadband Internet in the developed world" and "Rogers has promised to end all throttling over their network by the end of the year." So did they test it new on day one, or at the end of the month on day 28...

The exact same thing can be said about cash. So use the exact same reporting methods. I think it is over $10000 per month, but I am not sure.
Actually, you can do all but the beer. Several whitebox outfits take bitcoin. And there are vice e-bay clones for the drugs and smokes...
And not a single fuck was given that day.
If everyone actually stopped fucking for a day, that would be huge news. (To everyone other than you)

I don't WANT to have exactly the same interface on desktop and tablet.
This. Right here... I have a monitor that does 1600x1200 for a reason! And it is not for a more detailed iPhone experience!
looking good but it's still in early stages though, needs another half year to firm up.
So does Gnome3. Minus the "looking good" part...

It is easier to steal businesses that don't have big heavy machinery to move.
For the future... http://pcdecrapifier.com/ Sony may be the worst, but it is in a crowded field...
Ooops... Since I avoid Sony like the plague, I had not even looked at Star Wars: Galaxies. Why look at something you know you will not use? So I did not know that no one else looked at it either. :)

Not to mention that they have zero consumer trust in their software, after two different rootkit fiascos.
On the PlayStation, yes. There you have no choice. But on the PC? Especially with all the good press from the Sony software installed on PCs in the past... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sony_BMG_copy_protection_rootkit_scandal http://techreport.com/discussions/13096 They will have a hard time overcoming this with a lot of users. It is actually a factor in the hardware losses they have had.

Wow... Just wow...

Now that the secret is out, just buy a used one off eBay from the NSA.
Because the war for independence was actually just a poker game...
Which is why we have pacified all of those countries we were at war with so quickly, right?
Of course he also asked to have the next slave girl brought in when he grew bored of the one he was shtooping.
Yes, we should only listen to perfect people. Thank God that means I do not have to listen to you. (Nor you to me)
Or, put another way... If Hitler said "It is cold in here" would you argue the point just because it was Hitler?
Bitter much?
But it was before they wrote any computer crime statutes, so he is good.
