"The energy striking the surface per square meter of full sun is in fact about 100 greater than the energy striking the surface on of overcast day. That's a fact. Look it up anywhere you like."
Field Scout Quantum Meter and LiCor Quantum Meter and power charge statistics on my solar systems all say you're full of shit.
"So the cloudy day has only 1% of the energy as a sunny day."
My god there's so much bullshit in this post I don't know where to begin.
First off, we perceive brightness in a LOGARITHMIC CURVE, not exponential.
Next, PHOTON FLUX DENSITY (which is what matters for solar, not lux which is weighted at green light) on full cloudless day is ~2,000 umol per square meter per second. On a cloudy, non-rainy day, you can expect about ~1,100 umol, about as bright as it is on Mars (Mars is like closer to 900 umol.)
You've got zero clue what you're talking about. Be quiet.
AC is far more efficient at cross-planet ranges. HVDC exactly halfway around the planet would lose about half its power. Higher-voltage AC would lose maybe 10%.
Needs to go pick up their Nobel prize for proving it.
Oh, wait, none of you have it.
So shut the fuck up and let the real scientists that get paid to do this stuff figure it out. All of you lack the requisite experience, experimental data, and resources to do otherwise.
" However, it's pretty easy to detect if someone is attempting this longer time period attack,"
Not really. The current state of bitcoin is such that detecting this among people not paying the speedy transaction fee is next to impossible. Keep the blockchain busy enough and you're able to stretch this out a couple of weeks or more.
Apparently you didn't look at the code, otherwise you'd have seen that stories and journals are handled by TWO DIFFERENT DATABASES.
You stupid fucking git. You do not belong on this website when you can not figure out how a fucking system works. Get the fuck out of here. Notice how you posted as AC, because YOU KNEW YOU WERE DEAD FUCKING WRONG.
"Simple international payments for a product that doesn't require instant confirmation. Exactly what the technology was designed for! Well done, Steam."
And with the way Bitcoin works now, one can easily scam Steam out of a sale, play the game and beat it in a couple of days, reverse the transaction, get banned, repeat with new account and wallet, and Steam will never be able to stop them.

"Hope this helps."
It does until you update stuff like .NET, and then those registry settings get changed surreptitiously and without your knowledge.
I used Never10 and GWX. They help but ONLY if you don't update ANYTHING MICROSOFT afterwards.
"If you had a clue, which you don't, you'd realize that the bloated code is the result of fast computers."
No, the bloated code is a result of shitty colleges and their shitty CS courses (which apparently none even bother with teaching security...)
No, you're a fool. Also, I do programming. It's fairly obvious you don't.
Another moronic comment by an AC who doesn't know what the fuck they're talking about.
Life is too short for our currently blazing-fast computers to be bogged down by shitty bloated code.
Fix that problem, and many of your other problems will magically vanish.

"molten salt is the latest and greatest in the industry,"
Wrong. molten salt has been around for two decades. The latest and greatest is Lithium-Ion and its derivatives.

The stupid one is the one whom can't make a rebuttal using facts - like you.
The company has offices in Santa Barbara, San Francisco, Denver, CO, and another spot.
You could have at LEAST done the basic research before-hand.
"You only get the checkbox if you're "good"."
Wrong. The checkbox came about for those users that participated in a specific /. survey. Our reward was being able to disable ads.

It's there, and it works. It doesn't make you immune to native slashdot ads, just ads coming from off-site.
Well, if we're going to go there, then Moore's Law basically is bullshit, and needs to be immediately downgraded to conjecture.
Wake me when you actually work with quantum particles (like photons) and study their effects both quantum and classical.
I have the feeling I'll be asleep and waiting a long time for you to catch up.
Yet AAA can do it anytime they please.
Proof that San Francisco is as corrupt as Chicago.
Burn that fucking hippie hole down.
" They have real journalists there who actually research (**gasp**) and write stories."
Hah! They consistently fail on every LED tech story. Research, my ass.
A theory is not proof. A theory isn't even concrete.
Wake me when it graduates to LAW status, please.
THEOREM.
Not LAW.
Wake me when that becomes a LAW.

Steam is falling for it already.
Plenty of drug dealers are falling for the attack.
Many bitcoin ATMs are currently vulnerable.
It's easy money theft right now. Bitcoin is (has always been) completely untrustable.
What's good for the goose is good for the gander.
"Maybe you want to automatically prioritize a different device when the Chromecast isn't connected."
Too stupid to know what QoS is, eh?

Unlike you, I paid full attention.
Apparently you didn't look at the code, otherwise you'd have seen that stories and journals are handled by TWO DIFFERENT DATABASES.

Wrong. I've got friends taking advantage of ZC transactions and cancelling them a week after the fact.
Easiest scam out right now. Thanks Bitcoin, for proving you truly are a currency for criminals.

Free easy fraud, made possible by bitcoin.
