  1. Re: Is MtGox Bitcoin? on Mt. Gox Shuts Down: Collapse Should Come As No Surprise · · Score: 1

    Idiot. See I can call people names too.

  2. Re:Can someone explain this theft? on Mt. Gox Shuts Down: Collapse Should Come As No Surprise · · Score: 1

    Here's a car analogy. Let's say someone owns a car. Now this person lets you store all your money in that car and gives you the opportunity to buy something digital that represents that money. The prices on this digital currency fluctuates, so you want to keep the money in the car so when the price is low you buy it, and when it's high you sell it. The care is always loaded with money. Well what happened here is the owner of the car drove off with the car and hid it, but said it got stolen.

    Software flaws for the users, but features for the owners. The owners lined their pockets with untraceable stacks of cash with no change of legal repercussions because bitcoins aren't regulated.

    Never heard of it and I've been following bitcoin for a couple of years.

    Here's a prediction for you. As long as bitcoin transactions remain anonymous, one of the key selling points of bitcoin, people will continue to abuse this and steal millions of dollars from unsuspecting users claiming "technical problems" and "hackers". 700,000 + bitcoins went missing, with a value of $350 million right now, after the huge drop. That's a lot of temptation. If this is allowed to keep happening the value of bitcoin will drop until they are worthless again.

    It didn't take long to see someone write about clunking out code in notepad. So the best way to learn is to get overly frustrated on things that don't really matter, like what casing a developer decided to use when making his classes, instead of focusing on the actual aspects of programming like algorithm development and code syntax.

  8. Re:Live in a cave on Stack Overflow Could Explain Toyota Vehicles' Unintended Acceleration · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I had my car suddenly accelerate on me before. I was driving along and suddenly the pedal felt really strange and it start accelerating, even when I took my foot off the pedal. I turned off the car and pulled over. Turns out the rubber mat I put in to protect the inside of my car from wet/snow had somehow managed to flop on top of the pedal and pushed it down. When I heard about these Toyotas accelerating on their own, it's the first thing I thought of.

  18. Re:watching games might not be so popular. on Documentary about Professional Gaming · · Score: 0

    When do you have to associate "professional" with being physically fit? Its all about what entertains people. If I watch some guy on a bmx do a cool trick, I could care less if he's in good shape. I don't know why everyone has this fascination with athletes. I'm not a sports fan. Is there something deep inside of people who watch sports that makes them wish they could be like the athlete they are watching, or is it the actual competition that is exciting? I would think its the competition. When I sign up for the office playoff hockey pool, I like to watch hockey because I want to know if I am going to win, not if someone makes some spectacular goal, I wouldn't even know a great goal if i saw one. It's only the scoreboard that counts. And milliseconds make or break drag racing winners. People watch them.

    Well people watch golf, they root for the person playing... There's nothing so boring to me as watching golf, but it is obviously popular, there's even a golf channel! I enjoy the few shows we have on about video games and would probably watch people playing, if it had the right programming. I'm not even a gamer, so I imagine if there's enough gamers out there, it could become popular.
