  1. not at all anonymous on Bitcoin Perfectly Anonymous — Until You Spend It · · Score: 1

    I don't see why anybody would call bit coin anonymous, miners and everybody with the main client hold the full transaction history - 100% complete history of ALL transactions if I understand correctly. So how is it in the slightest bit anonymous?

  2. Re: Good on Nissan Plans To Sell Self-Driving Cars By 2020 · · Score: 1

    If the car in front has a braking distance of 50 feet and the car behinds brakes are not as good with a braking distance of 100 feet then the car behind needs to be 50 feet from the car in front, autonomous or otherwise.

    Too right, humans should only be given a license after having driven 100,000 miles safely without incident.

    I'm assuming that you've saying that driving asleep isn't possible, from personal experience, I can assure you people have driven me whilst they were asleep at the wheel, saved time too because we went straight through the red light (cabbie!).

    Come to think of it, one guy was inebriated, asleep and you could say distracted, all at the same time!!! Naturally I decided to interrupt his nap because we were driving on the wrong side of the road.

    ...Lol so the PS4 launch might be like EA's sim-city launch where no-one can use their new console for a few days whilst the servers are overloaded with DRM related faff.

  8. Re:Good! on UK Government Destroys Guardian's Snowden Drives · · Score: 5, Interesting

    No, they didn't 'simply followed a law' they chose to victimise somebody in a very deliberate manner, they made a legal choice and not a moral choice, they flouted the spirit of the law whilst sticking to the letter of the law.

    The law books didn't tell them to victimise the guy, their boss did.

    Not if they found a million Neanderthals, all of whom would want jobs and a place to live.

    I know it's not clever to accept a zero hours contract with no sick and no holiday, but calling them Neanderthals is a bit mean.

  11. Re:what?! on Mozilla Planning Firefox Metro For Windows 8 On December 10 · · Score: 2

    "Windows 7 was looking stale in a world of osx, Android and iOS. Sure it has a very productive interface"

    I'll take productive thank you, changing something to avoid 'being stale' at the cost of productivity is outright lame.

    The real reason for metro is Microsoft's cut% of the metro marketplace.

    " New cars are coming out with all kinds of distractions, like web browsing"

    I sincerely hope that this isn't available whilst the car is running, otherwise if it could be proven that someone was using it whilst driving and causing accidental death, then the car manufacturer should jointly be charged with vehicular manslaughter.

    You can't tell me with a straight face that filling the sky with so much pollution that that doesn't make a difference, of course it makes a difference.

    Absolutely, the mortality risk from accidents, heart attack, stroke high blood pressure related deaths etc doubles for people who's sleep is lessened by 2 hours from 7 to 5hours. Excessive coffee drinkers group is highly likely to have a big overlap with the sleep deprived group.

    (sleep deprivation causes your blood pressure to rise).

    So, sort your life out! - I mean that in a nice way.

    Great, now all the staff that work for companies that aren't contracting and are still making nice big profits thank you very much, now they can give them a proper pay rise that makes up for when they shafted them with 0% pay rises because of the 'recession'.

    If you accepted a 0% pay rise then you're a mug and the directors who gave themselves another 10% are laughing at you.

    A better solution would be to have a clause for non-personal uses as in you can't use large amounts of bandwidth for business / charity / organisation etc uses.

    And to stop this 'unlimited bandwidth' BS, make the limit something that is relevant to quality of service, such as a limit related to contention ratio, measured at peak times.

    It's not the same, dolly the sheep had shortened lifespan. The cloning is not perfect and no-where as good as nature does it

    Cloned animals should not be allowed back in to the general population until either the scientific method is fixed and perfected / or the long term effects are fully understood. To do otherwise could be disastrous and it could take decades to see the disaster unfold.

    Storage is sorted as far as I'm concered, I'm pretty happy with the size of micro-SD cards, HDDs etc.
