Still the only 2 things any attacker can do is mine bitcoins, and attempt to double spend their existing coins. Your coins are cryptographically safe, and cannot be stolen from you. If you accept bitcoins as payment, you will find our reasonably quickly if an attempted double payment has occurred. If you hold any goods in escrow for a while you should be ok.
Having a reputation system that gets you in game/store credit, that you can never lose, could work. eg, help some noob through the training level (ala portal 2) gives you $0.50 credit to your next game / DLC purchase... But charging people for trolling/griefing? Not gonna happen. Charging people based on geographical area? Please no, publishers already suck too much at this.
No, you could still use the ground effect for lift. Just thinking you could use something like an aircraft carrier launch system to get the "train" moving again after a station. Of course it wouldn't be cheap to build...
When they release Ice Cream Sandwich, the Honeycomb source will be in the patch history
No, that's not necessarily true. While you can configure a server to only allow new patches to be added to the end of the commit log, that isn't mandatory. Even with bog standard out of the box git commands, they could squash the commit history into one big commit and throw away their current history. Or review every change again, and only cherry pick the ones they wish to keep. git's history is not set in stone and can easily be changed. The only limitation is that all contributors must voluntarily accept your revised history as their new baseline.
I have refused to buy StarCraft II due to it being region lock and priced locally way above the exchange rate. The US version is I think $59.95 USD, the AU version is $89.95 AUD (=$96.85 USD). I'm not holding my breath that Diablo 3 will be priced appropriately. I refuse to pay a 60% premium for a digital download simply because of the country I live in.
Another angle on the problem. Look at the graph of Debt to GDP going back past the Great Depression. Based on that graph, we were in "serious risk of depression" territory back in the 90's. It's only inventions like CDO's that aim to leverage absolutely everything that have managed to keep the debt bubble growing. But hey, what could possibly go wrong with exponential growth in debt.
So I'm supposed to believe that the CIA built this elabourate room to detect intrusions when noone is supposed to be present, that is only disabled when an authorised user enters the room. Why not just disable the machine when there's noone there instead?
Apple would have a point only if Microsoft had called their OS "Operating System". Calling their OS "Windows" after a major element of the GUI is more like trademarking a car "Engine" or "Trunk".
If you're hiring programmers you need to provide a good Development Abstraction Layer. I certainly would not want to be pulled off my desk to help with any handyman projects you have around the office.
I'd say that in the first 3 months, a new graduate hire is a net drain on my time. I spend more time training or explaining tasks in more excruciating detail than it would take for me to just do the work. I don't care if a new hire takes 20 hours to do something I can do in two. What annoys me is it will still take 3-4 hours of my time.
I know of at least one case, where "post processing" 20 years later convinced the "victim" of events that never took place. Where childhood memories were corrupted into something sexual that never happened.
That's the "normal" business cycle. Coming out of a crisis, conservative projects are put forward, are funded, and succeed. This raises confidence and encourages more leverage. Over time less conservative projects are put forward, leveraged to the hilt. Eventually proposed projects get too shonky and fail, triggering another crisis. And the cycle repeats.
However with each of these smaller cycles, the overall level of debt in the system increased. And over time the economy looked more and more like a massive ponzi scheme. The economy can no longer recover by simply encouraging more leverage since there aren't enough people left who are willing to take on more debt.
That was the original idea. But of course you would need to convert those decimal numbers to hex. The current plan would make that address available as 0::FFFF:4C21:2D79.
Pfft, late bloomer;) My son's been playing Halflife, CS:S, TF2, Portal... since he was about 3. After a free weekend he begged me to buy Left 4 Dead so he could keep killing zombies, but even I had to draw the line somewhere...

Yep, that's what I came here to post, but you beat me to it.

Turn the U shaped track into a big rail gun? Or at least near stations...

... which we wouldn't need if it wasn't region locked, or if Blizzard ran servers in Australia.
Technically the version you purchase limits the servers you can connect to. I could buy the US version, but then a can't play with friends.

Calibrating out units based on gravitational acceleration at sea level might have been a better starting point.
Well I guess if no-one is going to read the article anyway...

You want to know what drives the employment level in the economy? The acceleration in the level of debt.

Um, no. IP6 doesn't quite work that way.
But we could implement some kind of distributed hash table.
