    Not OP, but my country (France) is listed as white and has blocked a bunch of websites, at least for copyright and political reasons.

    It's easy to have volume when you're trading two worthless things (mtgoxUSD was known to be worthless for a while, then it appeared mtgoxBTC was going to be too as it was used to get out of it).

    My bank requires 6 numbers, no more, no less.
    If you make a certain number of errors, the account will be locked. So if someone tries to brute-force your account, you have to call the bank to activate it again.

    It's probably the least secure website I use.

    "If you're against copyright, then you're against the GPL."
    For the third time.

    You do not understand, or do not want to understand, that a world without copyright is not close to a world with copyright + BSD.

    > In my personal politics I tend more towards the libertarian than the paternalistic. I'm a live and let live type. I view most attempts to control how other people live as somewhat unsavory at best. Having said that, I appreciate both licenses for their flexibilities, use GPL programs, and have donated to both GPL and BSD projects.

    Reading your comments, I don't believe a word of it.

    I thought you were retarded, but I now think it is worse, you are just dishonest. There is absolutely no use talking to you.

  10. Re:Not true in many ways on FreeBSD 10 To Use Clang Compiler, Deprecate GCC · · Score: 1

    The BSD license solely exists because of copyright law, too. You are confused about how copyright works, and what the GPL aims for.

    Exactly. But the GPL haters don't want you to know that.

  13. Re:Not true in many ways on FreeBSD 10 To Use Clang Compiler, Deprecate GCC · · Score: 1

    Even if you are wholly against copyright you can still be for the GPL, because it subverts the intent of copyright to accomplish something totally different.

    Exactly. It's sort of a troll license, and it fights against patents too. And BSD also needs copyright, so Idon't get that criticism.

    > Apple started the Clang project

    No. LLVM started in 2000, in 2005 Apple employed hired a dev to work on it. Unless you were talking only about Clang, which would be silly.
    I doubt it would have been open if Apple started it.

    They already do this. But it might be other kind of fake information (maybe give a lot of fake sources through peer exchange?). It could waste a lot of bandwith with a lot of fake clients sending fake parts.
    I'm pretty sure it isn't that effective.

  17. Re:I think it's kind a cool... on Bitcoinica Breach Nets Hackers $87,000 In Bitcoins · · Score: 1

    BitCoin is solid, however many services built around bitcoin are built by amateurs.
    I heard of an evolution of the protocol, where a coin could require more than one signature to be transfered, this would work around a lot of these issues (unless the users don't do it properly, which is likely).

    The N9 is poorly distributed and very expensive, isn't advertised at all, etc. When you buy it you *know* it will be poorly supported because Nokia has abandonned Maemo.
    I had no idea the sales were close to the Lumia. This is a huge FAIL for the Lumia, more than a success of the N9.

  21. Re:Because 32bits of addressing... on Apple Under Fire For Backing Off IPv6 Support · · Score: 1

    Moreover, given the huge number of IPv6 adresses, brute-forcing IPs at random isn't possible. So even if you authorized incoming packets by default in your router, you likely wouldn't be bothered by attacks.

    And relying only on NAT for "security" is utterly stupid as there are many ways to traverse NATs.

    > A small business with maybe 10-20 devices on an internal network doesn't care about IPv6.

    IPv6 isn't only about having more adresses. For instance, stateless address autoconfiguration is interesting in a local network.

    Yep. People who will never be users or contributors, not matter what they say. They're here because they don't do anything meaningful with their lives, so they have to undermine the work of others.
