"Whatâ(TM)s new in Build 17101 & Build 17604 Input Improvements
Emoji design updates: Based on your feedback and to improve consistency, we've made adjustments to the design of some of our emoji.
Emoji search comes to more languages: Earlier in RS4, we updated the Emoji Panel to support browsing and picking emoji in many new locales. With today's build, we're bringing search support to more locales too! Now you can find an emoji by keyword in over 150 locales, including English (Great Britain), French (France), German (Germany), Spanish (Spain), and more. This will help you get the emoji you want easily and quickly."
So there's valuable improvements for ordinary users, not just the Pros.
It doesn't have anything as simple as a line-in jack or a volume knob, you'll need a whole load of other Apple gear and a premium subscription to iTunes for it to do anything.
Well no. You can prevent me from selling them. But you can't change who signed them.
I don't need to, I just have to tell the world that your signatures are fake. I can garantee that if I own 51% of the network (and I might get lucky even if I own much less than 51%).
here's why. When you spend a coin two things have to be true. 1. the blcok chain shows the coin is assigned to your public crytpto key
Correct.
The thing you're missing is that if you have enough computers you become the block chain. You can assign whatever ownerships you like to any known coin. If my computers say the coins in your wallet belong to me, then... how do you prove otherwise? It's a majority vote.
Somebody rebut this or I'll need to dump my bitcoins fast!
Sorry, it's true.
There was a delicate point in Bitcoin history where anybody with a lot of computers could have taken every Bitcoin in existence, simply by having more computers (you need to own 51% of the computers in the block chain).
If large mines start dropping out and people can organize themselves into gangs (or somebody has a vary large Botnet) then we might go back there.
Of course, Bitcoins (and others) have found a niche in the world economy precisely because they are free of government control, banker manipulation, and any regulation.
But not in any freedom-fighting, swamp-draining, making-the-world-a-better-place way.
Bitcoin became famous because you could buy drugs with it.
So far, cryptocurrencies have only helped the wealthy get wealthier.
I doubt the wealthy made much on bitcoin so far. They certainly might in the future because the bitcoin market is really easy to manipulate (pump/dump).
Anybody who made money on Bitcoin so far did it through dumb luck.
Why? I mean once the dust settles and it's a nice steady currency then what will be the point? What will you be able to do that you couldn't do before?
I prefer the mac UI. But even more than that, I prefer customization. That way if you want a fat border, you can get one, if you want a thin border you can get that too
If you spend hours agonizing over the width of the scroll bar then you're not doing any real work, are you?
Even if you're not "working" it shows you're not really focused on the stuff inside the window in which case you have no business telling other people how wide their scroll bars should be.

Next up: Windows 10
Pretty soon there's going to be an "Insert credit card to continue" nag screen on every Windows 10 machine.
Yep. The only real message in that headline is that it's overpriced.
Has anybody asked him why the pacman generation didn't wander around buildings with corridors while eating M&Ms?
The asteroids generation? Did they shoot at rocks?
Donkey Kong...?

Let me guess:

MDF .... is almost a perfect material to build speaker-cases from.
That's not the reason they use it.
The reason is that it doesn't resonate.
Nope, I'm wrong. Oooops. Mod me down.
Well no. You can prevent me from selling them. But you can't change who signed them.

google "blockchain 51% attack" for more details.
No, not correct. The blockchain does not keep track of individual coins. It is a transaction log.
Yes but if you're shown two different transaction logs, which one is correct? The network has to vote on it.
Guess what happens if somebody owns 51% of the network?
here's why. When you spend a coin two things have to be true. 1. the blcok chain shows the coin is assigned to your public crytpto key
Correct.

When this happens ... power consumption will drop significantly.
Apart from all those hundreds of KWh needed to process every single transaction.
PS: The big miners are already next to power stations and only mine with surplus power.
Exactly how many "new coins" will be created? Is the number of news coins the market can take as unlimited as their investment value?

Yep.
What part of "Initial Coin Offering" makes sense to anybody? (apart from the people offering the coins, naturally)
In what way isn't an ICO a scam? There's over 1500 cryptocurrencies now (but only one that makes any sense).
Ummm... weren't we talking about cancer?
Strongly disagree about crypto being a "fad".
Why? I mean once the dust settles and it's a nice steady currency then what will be the point? What will you be able to do that you couldn't do before?
Never mind the texts, think of the porn!
Which ones?
Yep. This is definitely somebody with a conclusion desperately trying to find evidence, ie. religion.
Fact: 900MHz is very far below the THz range where ionization starts.

Is there even such a thing as a "secret army base"?
Can't the enemy can see huge areas surrounded by HESCOs from several miles away?
