It will simply get exponentially harder, which will increase the bitcoin actual, objective worth
Does that not sound like a pyramid scheme to you?
The people on the ground floor get rich, everybody else does a lot of work for practically zero return.
Then there's the manipulability of the 'price' of bitcoins. All it takes is a story on the web to crash the price (see story earlier today), then another story will bring them right back up again - there's no regulation so insider trading carries no penalty! Does that sound like somebody, somewhere might be ripping people off? It sure sounds like it to me.
The more time passes, the more I suspect bitcoin is just a clever con game deigned to make the creators very rich.
Every time a company is not 100% vertically integrated you get these kind of fearmongering articles. NAND flash is a commodity, they can find it somewhere else.
But not necessarily at a price that makes people happy.
It is a federal crime to intercept UPS mail. The police have to have warrants to open your mail unless you are a prisoner serving time being one of the few exceptions. When the telephone was first invented, police could listen in on conversations until the courts ruled that this communication was considered private. Email was being intercepted until courts again ruled that they are private.
All of those things are done every single day as part of criminal investigations.
The 4th amendment says: "The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated"
The 4th amendment does not say: "The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against searches and seizures, shall not be violated"
There's a big difference between scanning all messages passing through an exchange on fishing expeditions and looking in the phone of somebody who's already under arrest for criminal activity.
When you're under arrest as a drug dealer the police can search you and your belongings. They can even look up your ass if they want to.
Even if the kid may not be material to become a pilot, the very least he'll take away from the air show is that he was well entertained by our "men at arms" and that the army (navy, whatever) is a good thing.
Or they could just rerun Top Gun on TV - same thing (except more people will see it).

The brain is faster than technology - instant search which is what you need in front of a client.
Maybe I'm being thick, but:
a) Why would Google glass be more 'instant' than, say, an iPad?
b) Why would a small overlay on your eye be better than, say, a 10" Android tablet?
c) Why would a real estate agent not want something the client could see as well?
d) Why are we still putting up with real estate agents? Why aren't we rounding them up en-masse with the used car salesmen and gassing them?
Yep.
Earnings - fines = profit.
If earnings are bigger than fines then profit is a positive number. The fines are just operational overheads.

If he can't put a complete sentence together, why would he be able to put a complete argument together?
Covering up war crimes is or should be a much bigger crime.
Should be...
The people behind Abu Ghraib go free, Bradley gets screwed for ratting on his leaders. So it goes.
Does it come with a full tank of gas?

So....you're agreeing with me? I'm confused.
That's called entrapment and is actually illegal.
Entrapment is when they get you to do something they wouldn't normally do.
If you arrange to buy 10 kilos of heroin from a contact on a phone ... it's a fair bet it's something habitual.
Um, no? If the cops arrest you, they do not have the right to ransack your house.
True, but they do have a right to search your person and your immediate surroundings for evidence that can be used against you, no warrant needed.

(the section of that page titled "Searches incident to a lawful arrest" is particularly relevant...)

We have every right and expectation that those texts will be private
This guy wasn't somebody picked at random on the street, he was under arrest as a suspected drug dealer.
You know the cops can search your car/house/etc. if they have "reasonable suspicion", right?

Ending the F-22 program won't save a dime.
Apart from the billions in running costs...
Seriously, there's only 300-odd million Americans and not all of them pay taxes (maybe more than half).
A billion here, a billion there, it adds up.
The US military is mostly a useless pork-barrel project, too.
Pretty soon it will be all drones and robots. A single regiment with helicopter can probably cover the part that needs men on the ground.
Considering the exposure they get, $100K a show is very cheap as advertising rates go.
Advertising is good when you're trying to expand a business.
Right now the military needs to do the opposite.
They'll be flying drones soon anyway so all the training/recruitment can be done via Xbox.
Private solutions are never cheaper.
LOL.
Yes and local businesses who depend on these air shows for tourist income will flirt with failure and pit more people out of work, fucktard.
Let those "local businesses" pay for it themselves. Why should the government be subsidizing everybody?
Right, the military should just stop all recruiting efforts all together.
The Blue Angels are recruiters?
Idiot.
Touche.
They could have a unique default but a special uber-reset that sets it to '1234'.
They could keep "admin" but print a unique password on the router.
Have you ever seen a Thunderbolt port?
I guess not, based on your post. Still, don't let the facts get in the way of a good bash.
You mean this?
Yeah, that's way different than all those other connectors. Not.
I heard they were starting to make them out of plastic.
