i believe one of the major mistakes people are making with bitcoin is thinking that bitcoins are only useful if they can be used to buy something.
The bitcoin has been relatively stable for a pretty long time. Trade volume is stable and growing, so the market works really well to transfer value over borders. Think like western union on steroids.
Due to the long term stability, the bitcoin market is beginning to be trusted as an alternate and easy to access method of storing or transferring value, not necessarily just to buy stuff.
that is a totally out of context comment from an anonymous poster.
large corporate entities will not deploy windows 10 for years anyway due to incompatible or uncertified line of business software platforms. it has nothing to do with this particular feature.
moreover, this has to do with logging into your microsoft.com account, nothing to do with windows 10 pro joined to a domain.
regular citizens can never know if they're breaking the law, there are so many of them after all, but therein lies an interesting thing. the law is rarely applied based on who is breaking the law, but rather who the person is.
anyone can be singled out and have their life turned upside down by law enforcement, it's all a matter of application. application of the law occurs on people who already have their feet wet and lower socio economic classes.
keep your nose clean and you won't run afoul of the law. I'd say that especially goes for "do no harm to anyone else" areas, that's how you first get in trouble, is if you assault or cause a harm to someone else. that raises your profile initially and from then on the system is inadvertently designed to focus on you and drive you into the ground.
most people get away with all kinds of minor crimes, so long as they don't actually physically or monetarily harm someone else (or be black) you won't get dragged into the undertow of the criminal justice system.
I agree, surprised to see exactly what I was going to say. It's possible the author is english as a second language or something, so I'll withold judgement, but Starvation is far more apt than strangulation. Strangulation implies an outside actor, starvation does not.
I don't think you completely understand Air Marshal. Or maybe I do. What do you think?
Air Marshal is recognizing a client is on the LAN by way of a non-Meraki AP, and then sending that client an 802.11n de-auth, so that it doesn't work, and the man in the middle attack is stopped. It doesn't interfere or attack other AP's. Basically, in order for this to work, the rogue AP has to be connecting into the Meraki network.
it seems to me that statisticians are CS overlapping with practical insight.
When a report is prepared, it takes consideration to define all of the inputs and modifiers that lead to a successful statistical analysis. Without this hard-to-define inputs, i can see how and why a CS-only based approach to stats fails.
That's what women would have you believe, but they are experts in manipulating men to feel we're in charge. It's not the case, women have been running the show for the entire time. They are just smart enough to understand the value of subtle action, and humble enough to not demand credit.
Sterling never did anything illegal, he was just an old biggoted man. There exists no punishment society can inflict on him beyond personal actions like boycotting or just not liking him... So what gives? Why do people think that he can be robbed of an asset for being a biggot?
He has first amendment protections to be as big of a douchebag as he wants. His privacy was violated by his mistress and he was doing nothing illegal. The NBA has no grounds to force him out or deny him profit from the sale of an asset he shouldn't be forced to sell.
I don't like kickstarter, because in the end, your funding is to purchase/something/ be it a product, a service, a unique bauble or something special the kickstarter folks can provide you. you are not buying shares, you are simply helping provide the market for a companies to-be-delivered-in-the-future project.
not reaching a goal is not necessarily a failure to fund, more like proving that the market never really existed. publicity failure can be a reason, but in the end, a kickstarter is not an investment mechanism, it's a futures-market for product.
Even if you check the bid/ask price, without HFT there's a conceivable chance for your buy order to be filled for less than your limit, but with HFT the cheaper stock is exhausted and your order filled at the buy price.
Sounds silly, but pennies matter to these people due to volume and that's what's occurring.
At home, I didn't feel like paying for 2 large arrays to store my data, so if I rip any media, I always rip it to DIVX. 800 MB for a DVD or even bluray rip is a great economy, saves me money on primary storage and also enables me to back it up. I accept the loss of quality as I can always reference the original media if I want.
Another option in the future may be subscription services which have HD content, thus eliminating my need to roll my own. We'll see what happens there.
I agree with what you're saying, and I want to add that I think the PC buying cycle with go through the roof once Windows XP reaches official EOL in 2Q 2014. I have tons of customers who are running XP machines who will finally be compelled to buy shiny new Windows 8 boxes. 2Q 2014 is going to be HUGE. There's a lot of pent up demand. All of my customers CANNOT leave windows. A small percentage can, but most are vendor locked in by their CRM vendor of choice. The whole ecosystem is Microsoft and it will be at least 1 or 2 more cycles before the majority of LOB vendors will even be close to platform agnostic.
I am not necessarily going to hate on this, but doesn't the idea kind of undermine the subscriber model of service delivery? One reason we can achieve the individual speeds we do is because of over subscription of available bandwidth, it's not as though each residential customer is actually buying the bandwidth they receive, and so that is how the provider pays for infrastructure to provide the global access they do. Isn't the eventual endgame scenario of this to be in effect undermining itself?
The only way it would not be is if:
1. per subscriber rates were to increase 2. some open source movement to supply trunk lines between point of presences... not sure how that will work out..

when your main point of value is a contractual construct you're doing something wrong.
creating a walled garden or an exclusivity window in an aim to increase desirability through limited availability is just fundamentally wrongheaded.
theatre owners should drive people to the film for the quality of the experience, not the fact that it's the only place you can see the movie.
i will never have a huge screen and massive sound system at home. i will never have high performance digital projectors that can deliver high fps.
deliver a good movie and a good experience and people will go, regardless of any wall erected.
i dunno. i feel the same but isnt it funny? My family ran video stores in the 90s and 3 dollars was the usual rental fee for new releases.
look at how much our value perception has changed because of technology.
also whats changed is our ability to afford minor entertainments.
slashvertisement? this is nothing amazing.

Messagelabs, now Symantec.cloud still exists and it's a really good product.
It's fair to say, though, that the usefulness of spam services is declining due to what you mention, google and Office 365.
It's interesting watching the convergence happen, just as you say.
only until you can't afford it anymore.

guess its time to change the law
yeah i don't think so still. i think your interpretation of the technology is wrong.

Am I wrong? That's how I read the whitepaper.

i just bought one. Astroturf?

i think hes serious but you're missing his point.

disingenuous sarcasm never got anyone anywhere, so good luck with that.

i don't think there's a mechanism for issuing new coin, isn't it hard set at the protocol, or do i misunderstand?
I too have this concern about BTC
