Norwegian here. Let me just say that officials will mostly comment without thinking, so the only practical magic they can apply here would be to find registered companies that sell BTC and have them report sells/buys to the govt. (Same transparency in stocks, I take it. But IANAE.)
Since they were the ones getting advertisers and distribution for the LXF mag (Future didn't do all this, check out Everard's interview on Linux Action Show) they shouldn't have a problem getting the wheels turning.
Raising this kind of support and publicity surely won't hurt either.
I'm just sore about not being able to afford the lifetime subscription..
Not everyone is online. Not everyone reads online or on computers. I personally spent some 2500-3000 $USD on books this year. Believe me, a lot of interesting books, albeit in niche areas, are only possible to hunt down and order online.
Makes you think about everything that's not mainstream enough to ever get the online baptism..
Back to topic; printed material is great, makes it easier to read and learn.
+1 I subscribed to LJ, Linux Mag and Linux Format in print. I stopped renewing LJ when they went PDF only. Still miss the BASH tutorials. I stopped renewing Linux Mag when I left corp IT (it's very business oriented).
Which leaves LXF. The magazine and the podcasts are informative, insightful and entertaining. And they represent both Free software enthusiasts and Open Source pragmatists, debating technology and politics without just looking at the cost/economic side of things (software as products for consumers).
You hit the nail. While magic works in mysterious ways, science (working the same process) strives to declare its power to avoid mysteriousness.
It's inherited from the Enlightenment, probably.
That said, reading old folklore reveals a different picture. The supernatural wasn't questioned (that came with experimental science) instead it held the position our 'facts' do. Or, sociologically, they were facts.
This made the mysteries all the more mundane, taken for granted. This doesn't mean people was stupid, they were explaining phenomena in the way they could.
This is captured brilliantly by Dune, where high-tech takes a back seat even though it's there.
Exactly. But that's true of any transaction-token regardless of expression; money, stocks, bitcoins, camels. (The last has other uses too.) Money is a technology.
You're failing to see what bitcoin is changing money-technology _into_.
Did Q2 CTF:II on dual ISDN on a Quake server my ISP ran back in the 90's. Jedi Knight DF2 suffered badly under the same condition. Bonus: no annoying phone calls while playing!
We need to clone Carmack who recognize gameplay over bling.
Apple knows Apple users either call a cab or a limo service. Trains are for working class, not creative or life-fulfilling better people. Read the EULA.
I agree that the threat is real. But we also must agree that there are real political issues that extreme groups are parasitic to; poverty, inequality, corruption and state (foreign or domestic) extortion.
The problem of terrorism isn't that they are "outside" the international community, but that they have reasons to, that are rational.
People are just people. They need proper incentive and motivation for letting themselves become extreme. We take away these incentives, extremists will become leaders of groups of one.
In existentialism proper, as e.g. Heidegger's analysis of Das Man under Temporality, a need to follow the front line of fashion has the clinical determination of anxiety.
I don't know the historical details of fashion, but if we're in the 2nd decade of a trend it may also be described as a norm, and a feminist critique would seem reasonable. I am a man and would not shave my stomach or chest unless it was for surgery.
Yeah, but back when Gameboy was the newest thing, my family didn't have one. Too expensive. But my older cousin did. So whenever you lost in Tetris, you could expect a slap in the face.
(This method was tested on humans with terrific results.)
My SO's grandfather was a driver for govt officials. One day a little before retirement he was driving, told the official that he had to stop, parked the car and died.
Moral of the story is, it's rude and inconsiderate to just die mid-air.

As the only leftover wisdom from a (perceived) dying culture, who wouldn't want a backup?
Survived on ~28kbps satellite link in the Sahara doing fieldwork. Not getting shot also helped.
What were you saying, again?

I have an N810, which doesn't see much use but I'm looking at replacing my remotes with it.
Anyway, how does the keyboard compare?
So what are you saying? You're Gollum?
Surely not Natalie Portman? She's pretty much close to 2D.

3D printed guns don't kill people, 3D printing puns kill people.

Control: We seem to have a bit of a problem, sir.
HQ: Does it need a firmware update again?
Control: Not exactly, sir.
HQ: Well, then what? That's a multi billion dollar project you're talking about there, son. It's quite autonomous.
Control: Well. It fell over. Sir.
Say what!??
The suspense is killing me!

Meh. If you ask me, they're overrated.
No nerds will go there because of the sunlight. Ping too high for underground gaming. Society will collapse.
Fukcing Jupiter!

If you can live with a binary blob, nVidia is great. The company still supports chips that aren't on sale any longer.
But I'd prefer an open source driver with 3D support.

So what you're saying is that FM was like the Bluetooth of the 90s/00s. Everywhere and mostly useless. But neat.
