What we're really going to need, and soon, is a program to know what all these *coin currencies are, and maybe some exchanges to change your Xcoins to Ycoins to dollars. Maybe even a consumer report on the issue: "We recommend avoiding FraudCoin as a poor value."
"Shouldn't they be looking at a different solution here?"
What's wrong with the old system. Tell people they will burn in eternal hell fire if they point a laser at aircraft. Either that or start a rumour about hairy palms.
Anyone smart enough to know this is BS probably isn't the type to do it in the first place. Children and morons will be too scared to do it.
And they say religion has no place in modern society.
If a national bank decided to destroy a large amount of debt records and then simply refused to acknowledge foreign debts without extensive documentation?
Your logic is completely ass backwards, since the foreigners will have the original loan records, not the Argentines.
Abolishing foreign debt is one of the 5 ways to eliminate debt and you don't need to destroy records to do it.
Germany was having significant financial problems in the 1930's; which actually allowed Hitler to gain control. Once in power he basically said "fuck you" to all foreign debts - as that was the previous government's doing. That will ruin your country's credit rating, so he just pillaged all of Europe instead.
So... if I see someone starting a fight in a bar, and I try and cool it down by shouting to him "Don't be an idiot! There's a cop outside in the street!".... I should be done for... what, exactly?
Which ones are the truthers again? Or those the guys pointing out that 2 planes hit 2 towers, but 3 buildings under the same insurance policy collapsed into free fall... or something like that?
Cisco responded to the claim of a backdoor. They didn't acknowledge it but they didn't deny it either. What do you think that means? Let me guess, you don't think the NSA is spying on citizens either because there is no evidence that meets your criteria.
When I upgraded my PC I used the old parts to build an XBMC HTPC. The old MB was perfect because it had onboard video, audio, ethernet so it didn't require any cards (super low profile).
The onboard video was an ATI Radeon HD 4xxx and a pain in the butt. I couldn't just make a bootable thumbdrive as > Ubuntu 12.04 wouldn't support that card. And the XBMC version that was bundled with 12.04 had other issues.
You have absolutely no proof of any NSA backdoors.
Eat shit, how fucking naive can you be: [NSA’s backdoor catalog exposed: Targets include Juniper, Cisco, Samsung, Huawei] http://gigaom.com/2013/12/29/n...

I once got asked a question which I found hurtful and offensive, and felt tempted to 'blow up' the interview at that point. Fortunately, I resisted the temptation. As it turns out, the question was his way of introducing the next thing, which was telling me that he was offering me the job.
I hear what you're saying. Regardless of your appearance they're not suppose to ask if you're a pre-op transsexual; but I'm glad you resisted blowing-up over it.
3) "If you were a pizza delivery man, how would you benefit from scissors?" -- Apple, Specialist interview.
It was a trick question to determine how much shame you have. The answer would be to jam them in your throat and hope you are reincarnated into a better life.
Your tone would suggest that people are discouraged from denouncing their US citizenship because they will ultimately be the losers in that transaction. How many US schmucks will it take to offset this single losers tax bill. And he isn't the only one doing this. Perhaps you over estimate "the greatest country int he world".
"Eduardo Saverin, the billionaire co- founder of Facebook Inc. (FB), renounced his U.S. citizenship before an initial public offering that values the social network at as much as $96 billion, a move that may reduce his tax bill."
That's probably because Imperial America also allows your country not to have to worry about defending itself and maintain a small token military. Just saying...
And all we had to do was sell oil at below market rate to the US. (which country am I)?
In which case it would have been a hacker who inserted the backdoor. A backdoor is a backdoor, no matter whether it is installed by the NSA or by a random hacker.
His reasoning is right up there with, "I'm not gay, only my boyfriend is", type logic.
Unless somebody has proof that somebody was trying to create a back door then stop with all of the "X-Files" shit. It could have been a hacker trying to put that code in.
Which is pretty much the same thing, isn't it?
We're not "torturing" people... we're just forcefully trying to extract information from people using this new 'water-boarding' technique. No one will actually die.
Worst Godwin ever? Thanks for calling me out, I guess I automatically lose now Alex.
I will concede defeat and admit that standing by while your government rapes you is no longer the best option. I repeat, getting raped by your government is no longer a good option. The master of debate "TheHonch" has shown me the light. I am now with "TheHonch" and admit that taking up arms against an oppressive government is a viable options.
And exactly what do the tens of thousands of random fire arms do for you in an attempt to foil the powers that be?
Planning on taking over the neighborhood Air Force base with a few of your friends and convincing the pilots to bomb DC? Overrun the National Guard Armory and steal some Vietnam era trucks and a few radios (oops, wrong frequency..)
Can you think of some, perhaps less violent ways of accomplishing something useful?
I don't think that an armed citizenry is keeping the government from doing what it wants.
I'm with ColdWetDog. Look at historical war strategies and you'll see, once again, the Jews had the right idea. Eventually someone else will come around and save the day, we just need to wait it out in 'camps' until that day comes. Unlike traditional prisons where boredom is the enemy I heard the Jews were given quite a few busy tasks to help them pass the time. Hell, they even contributed to scientific and medical research as well.

To be honest though FraudCoin was kind of a dead give away just by the name.

1. Find "80-IQ drooling moron to point a laser at an aircraft"
2. Give them a laser pointer
3. Show them an airplane
4. Profit ~ $10,000

I personally don't care about the start menu either way because WinKey+Q brings up a nifty search overlay
... that is much cleaner, thanks. Still; I shouldn't be forced to use it. Maybe I can map it to an unused mouse button.
Slashdot, news for fucking bastards, stuff thats fucked up the ass.
That was the original slogan but then marketing had to get involved....pfffttt marketing.
If Stuxnet was the world's cyber 'Little Boy,' where is the 'Fat Man'?
Cisco gear is deployed in enterprise environments throughout the world.
Windows dominates most desktops and has a large foot print for servers.
The NSA has back-doors into all of them.
PT Cruiser... that's one step up from the Pontiac Aztek at least.
Here is the product lineup Dell plans to sell:

So it looks like $1,375 is the base price.
I once was given a "security" questionnaire that asked, "Have you ever had sex with animals or office equipment?"
I was very tempted to write in, "Do hair-dryers count?".
A: It was dead at the time so it doesn't count... does it?
Q: The animal was dead or the equipment was dead?
A: Umm... I plead the 5th!

Isn't it just a steady stream of packets with increasing TTLs coming back until you hit your destination, get turned back or give up?

It was a trick question to determine how much shame you have. The answer would be to jam them in your throat and hope you are reincarnated into a better life.
"Do you have any weaknesses?"
"Yes, I hate stupid interview questions"
Seen this joke but never used it.
Q: List one of your weaknesses.
A: I'm honest.
Q: I don't think that's a weakness.
A: I don't give a shit what you think.
