I've actually been relatively open-minded about Bitcoin in general, but this really does make them look like they're trying to cut everyone off and make off with the money. I mean, the combination of risk and technical know-how here really ought to result in a certain standard of paranoia.
What crap. A friend of one of my daughter's friends is a transplant recipient. I met her at a Halloween party a couple of years ago. She's about 13 now, I think.
Are you trolling? Are you trolling? Damn you, internet.
I assume your parent post is talking about 'conspiracy' to commit certain crimes. IANAL, but I agree with your logic - the material did not constitute conspiracy.
Living thing: a 3D pattern that attempts to reproduce itself.
I think we are looking for carbon-based life. Energy-based life would not be easy to make friends with (let's face it - at the end of the day, we're just lonely).
At least these 'nudging technologies' are intended to -help- the person affected.
A proponent of the product being advertised would say that the affected person was being helped, because their product's so awesome. In fact, that's just what's happening in this supposedly less 'ethically questionable' example. Not to denigrate it (it is cool), but this appears to be (on the ethical level) another form of advertising.
don't you have to be at least a little stupid to get involved with drugs knowing that you could spend your days alternating between having to telemarket
You could get hit pretty hard for illegal filesharing or drinking during prohibition, too, but at the end of the day, when the law's bullshit, fuck it.

It appears it has become time to abandon the Slashdot comments section.

I have a feeling you're basically describing Reddit. I have no doubt that there's an /r/maths, and it's probably quite good...
Ugh. Fine, /r/math, no 's'. Yeah, it doesn't look bad.
He is implying that that is what we are heading for, yes.

I think they were probably just remarking on something statistically unusual.
So one has to wonder - will a boycott have a significant effect?
Sounds like they're gearing up for a gritty reboot.

Oh and please stop being such a humourless git.
Now that's funny.

I know the person who modded this flamebait meant well, but in all seriousness: if you trust the Daily Mail, you will become dangerously misinformed.
I didn't give the challenge a serious go, but stage 1 just seems convoluted - why is it the mark of a good code cracker to recognise x86 bytecode?
If it comes from Daily Mail, you can ignore it. Thank you.
I'm not a lawyer, but that logic is totally sound.
I think of it more as 'drawing more hipsters in, away from me'.
Wouldn't that make people far too accountable?
The Daily Mail reports: blah blah blah, don't acknowledge the existence of The Daily Mail.
I was saved by Kitten Block, and you can be too:

Myth?
A certain proportion of hackers are so practised because they were raised by a computer, and as such are quite attention-seeking.
