It's a Bitcoin exchange problem, not a problem with Bitcoin itself. In much the same way that the current economic crisis is a banking problem, and not a dollars problem.
It's a Bitcoin Exchange issue, not a systematic issue with the underlying Bitcoin network itself. It is, however, Bitcoin's problem, in that exchanges are how everyone interfaces with it.
This one's on me and not the editors, somehow I went from "the exchange's owner so-and-so" to "the exchange" to "Bitcoin" in the space of about half a cup of coffee. Although the image of the bitcoin network showing up in person is an amusing one.
I'm annoyed with myself because the misconception that this is a Bitcoin issue and not a MtGox issue is one I try to dispel.
Explosives, generally speaking, are their own oxidants. If (and it's a big if) this device is meant to blow itself up and not slowly burn away to nothing, an inert atmosphere isn't going to help.
I really doubt it is actually meant to blow itself up though.
I thought the issue with Operation Fast and Furious was that it basically let a lot of known gun-running operations act unhindered, while getting no real result?
I'm not sure what more than ten hours of white-knuckle racing action has to do with this, but I've really got to start watching CSPAN if that's what congress gets up to.
Defamation law distinguishes between ostensibly-editorial and ostensibly-factual content, even in the US. The notice is ostensibly factual, and a lot will rest on its accuracy. Ironically if Youtube had made it say "GEMA are a bunch of fat jerks" it would've been perfectly defensible.
According to Wikipedia, perhaps, but futurism referring to the scholarly study of the futuristic is a pretty widespread usage. (As you'd expect, given that you're just conjugating "futuristic".)
I'm a postdoc, which puts me about as far down the narrow end of the qualifications wedge as you can get. I'm still competing with about 10 other postdocs (and never you mind all the underqualified noise) for every position I go for, corporate or academic. That is not a ratio that speaks of a shortage of employable candidates.
Believe me, anyone who reaches this stage really, really wants to be in STEM. The jobs just aren't there, unless you want to go into quantitative analysis at a bank. They just never stop hiring.
Is that one of those agencies that claims a blanket right to, and gathers licencing fees for, the works of every single person working in a particular field? Whether they're a royalty-receiving member or not?
I remember an Arthur C. Clarke story which had in its background a late-era human society (Rescue Party, I think). They had become the ultimate commuter society because conventional automobiles had been replaced by medium-range, personal aircraft that could conveniently travel to any business, home, etc. without needing as much road infrastructure, and which let you build a house up a mountain or in a forest clearing that was as accessible as one on a razed plain. They weren't flying cars, though. They were helicopters.
I think the flying car's problem is that they're working on a particular solution (essentially a driveable plane), rather than working on meeting a particular need (personal aircraft).
PC Gamer are "dumbed down console players"? Really? And my point is that these outlets don't seem to think Thief and DXHR are very similar games at all; with that in mind your "they are console baby manz I am real manz" scenario doesn't make any sense..
I'm genuinely surprised by the lukewarm reception it's receiving, but moreso by the reports that it's rather linear and they've flubbed things like the background dialogue, given the developer. Eidos Montreal did the last Deus Ex game, and (farmed out bosses aside) it was genuinely excellent in exactly the sort of areas this game seems to have screwed up.
Contracts are already signed; it's not "impatience" when you've been sold the goods and told that, hey, turns out they might be more radioactive than permitted by state law.

Agreed; you could say it's a problem with the Bitcoin philosophy, not to turn your well-put argument into a soundbite.
I imagine that'll come up in due time; Bitcoin users account for almost all of MtGox's creditors.

Given that the battery's removable, I can think of a quicker way to stop the electronics working.

I'm sure there's a point here I'm missing, but isn't that what the NHS's conclusions at the bottom of the summary are saying?
Yeah, everyone has upgraded to France Mini. I think that's in Vegas or something.
Obvious hyperbole and pejoratives are generally taken to be non-factual in these instances.

We have that, it's called a helicopter. You can stop, reverse, park in a space not much bigger than your vehicle, turn in a non-geologic timescale...

Not sure if joking, but I assure you colleges are fine with more-politically-seditious authors than Isaac Asimov and Philip K Dick.
Words can mean two things. Welcome to English.
Not sure you know what futurism is:

concern with events and trends of the future, or which anticipate the future.
That certainly does seem to be the case. I assumed they would've moved the DX team over to Thief after their work was finished, but apparently not.
