More than bitcoins are missing. If you sold bitcoins through Mt. Gox, back when they peaked at US$1200, Mt. Gox delayed depositing them into your bank account. And delayed. And delayed. And delayed. And eventually went belly up without every paying.
I had to deal with some of this, with an estate I was at the time administrator of.
We were told, back when, that CDs had an indefinite lifespan -- essentially permanent.
I remember having talks with the University of Illinois' preservation librarian at the time. He had a much dimmer and less optimistic view of digital media.
Started at the Ms Magazine blog, ended, IIRC, at Huffpo. Notable for the heavy handed moderation protecting and defending Ms. Heidi's recounting of her fears and anxieties. (And ignorance.)
I've been in the business since DOS4 and Windows 3.0 were the currently shipping versions. Windows 8 is the only version I have seen where people around you will spontaneously chime in and tell you how much they hate it. Even WinME wasn't like that.
Our best prank was what we did to his computer. We wrote a small program that ran in the background and drew a dot in the center of the screen on top of whatever was running. This dot grew bigger over time; at first it was just one pixel wide, but after a week it was over twenty.
but it displays "one hell of a laser show in an attempt to scare potential crooks into thinking that they have no chance of breaking in without triggering the alarm.
Hmm. I'm thinking something from Crimson Trace or one of its many competitors might be better for this.
S. M. Stirling's Draka novels. The evil of the titular Draka (alternate history South Africa with the branch point in the 1770s, turned relentlessly aggressive slave making fascist master race) is the stuff of nightmares. I could not read any of those straight through.
More low key, George R. Stewart's 1949 post apocalyptic Earth Abides. If you've never read it, do.
Modern American churches have latched onto the latest in communication technology for many decades. Think, "Amy Semple McPherson".
Often this is done without a lot of reflection on effect and appropriateness.
I'd recommend the work of T. David Gordon, on media ecology. His lectures here (Reformed Worship in the Electronic Age) on the subject are quite good, though I think he gets some aspects of chirographic culture wrong.
(And if I never see another Powerpoint presentation in a service of worship again, I'll be most happy.)
Slashdot Mirror
Many classic SF novels are knit together from previous short stories -- I thought everyone knew this.
Hollywood, depicting a real anarchy. What could go wrong? (That's sarcasm.)
Ten to one, the politically correct SJW crowd will make it unrecognizable. About global warming, or something.

Is there such a thing (this is a rhetorical question) as a "well intentioned man in the middle party?

That's when they patched in the NSA's new tap.
Winter keeps the riff-raff indoors. Summer drives them outside, to prey upon each other and other, relatively more innocent, folks.
We need Globular Cooling. For the Children.
it would mean that a NATO ally had attempted to spy on a U.S. citizen on U.S. soil, presumably without the knowledge or approval of U.S. authorities
Why in the world would anyone think this?

The solution to inadequate IT for the gun control effort is, to say no to the new gun elimination effort.
Or maybe just issue us all little yellow stars to wear, to aid in tracking us.
That's evil. Can I have a copy?
Anyone else reminded of Phil Katz?
A site that allows anyone but U.S. citizens vote seems to indicate that the rest of the world hopes these numbers are accurate. "
So, if these folks like BHO so much, they're welcome to him.

You're a game company. That stuff is an amusement -- it doesn't matter.
In the end, Ish has done well to get his children a good start on a hunter-gatherer lifestyle. All remains of the old culture are lost.

I know it's fooled at least one person.
A redirect to whitehouse.com might be more effective.

"Burn the heretics."
And just when I'd gotten XFCE to look the way I want....
Absolutely. Big mushy buttons, lots of clicks (or finger mashing) to get to anything not on the launch bar.
From what I've seen, ditto for Gnome 3. My first thought on getting that up was "this is made for a tablet".
I actually do work with my Linux box. I'm disinclined migrate to someone else's idea of how I ought to work with my computer, every six months.
