If they really think it is so good, then they should put their money where their mouth is. Make it into a crackme, issue a large award for solving it. Post it online. I give it a few weeks max, if that. And who is to say it can't still be manipulated once running? Think of the performance cost.
Either way, I have no faith in an article with little details.
What is not mentioned is that the site in question has links to other listings with the release names which may correlate to what their spider was searching, "Game of Thrones." This is very bad practice of the DMCA notice senders as linking to something which links to something which does not even have infringing content itself but a "direction or guidebook" to the potential content.
So the VLC listing had another area that had other listings or popular links and because it had the name they listed it.
There needs to be fines for false DMCA notices like this. They do not own the release name itself.
I think he is getting confused and meant to type Centrino which was, at sometime a marketing/branding term for an Intel Reference Design consisting of Chipset, CPU and Wifi. Either way, they wrote it wrong, but lurkers from the past would have recognized it. It was posted on a lot of laptop stickers in the same way Pentium 4, Core X, etc are.
I typically get 5.3-5.6GH/s per device, I have 2x5gh/s units. (Avg around 11GH/s for the pair) Average Temp is 19-24c My killawatt shows just under 50 watts of usage for the pair. In the eclipsemc mining pool, average about 0.32btc/day Estimated cost of electricity is $5/month for the pair. Devices will pay themselves off in about 1.5 weeks unless trends change.
Some use cases for bitcoins for the techies and privacy conscious people are
1) VPN payments (AirVPN, there are many others) 2) Server payments (PRQ, there are many others) 3) Game Server Privileges (Various) - Many gamers have rigs and may be young, they can mine a few fractions of bitcoins in a pool and donate for admin or VIP status without needing money or to be old enough for paypal/debit cards etc. 4) Debrid Services - Multi-host download services 5) Exchanging for goods or money, places like bitcoin-otc act as web of trust communities to trade for whatever you want. Most tx seem to be for currency, but I have done things like xbox live codes, etc. 6) Merchants, you can use bitcoins to purchase giftcards that can be used at online and brick and mortar locations. 7) Barter IRL - Many people who follow currency news has heard of bitcoins and are curious about it, but reluctant to invest in them directly or acquire mining hardware. I have successfully bartered for many services using bitcoins as payment. This also helps promote the idea of cryptocurrency to the general public.
Combine using Tor to register and transmit bitcoins and login to such services, you can keep the trail fairly clear.
Wallets such as electrum make it fairly quick and easy for people to get into bitcoins and provide a failover generation method to backup/rebuild your bitcoin wallet and not lose your bitcoins in case of losing your wallet.
While there is a huge backorder, BFL is shipping products.
They are catching up on backorder fairly quickly. (About 9 months off now) The current trend every week and a half, they catch up on a month. The current delay is in actual power brick availability and they are contacting people asking if they want to wait or get it shipped without a power supply and the owner can provide their own. BFL Judy posts every few days on shipment updates. https://forums.butterflylabs.com/blogs/bfl_jody/
As for the actual chips, they are rated at 4GH/s and have a delivery term of 100 days. However, the actual chips shipped will be of mixed grade, meaning they will have at least 12 working engines in them and up to 16 working engines. I would say about.25 GH/s per engine, so we are looking at 3-4GH/s no matter the chip grade. With stale shares in mining pools and the speed of these chips, my previous guestimate of 2.5GH/s each would probably be the expected output of a D grade chip.
The transactions are still recorded in the block and chances are the community will upraise against the main controller, get more powerful and past transactions will process.
His numbers on Bitcoin Hardware are way off with ASIC's. Just visit Butterfly Labs, I have a rig doing 11GH/s, cost about $260 USD and uses ~ 50 watt of electricity. It costs less than $5 a month to run. BFL has some other hardware that has not shipped yet that can do 500 GH/s.
They sell their ASIC chips for $75 each (50 each if you have a coin credits) with min orders of 100. I assume each chip can do 2.5GH.
His numbers seem to stem back about a year or so ago.
I cannot agree more with Proxmox. I have used practically every Vitualization system out there, and am forced to use some others, but Proxmox is what I prefer for personal and production systems where I have a choice. Large number of servers handle without a problem from a single web interface and it can use cheaper hardware with all the great features of the more costly solutions without hidden costs or hacks. Also check out Open vSwitch for advanced networking.
Why have a middle man if they cannot offer any better deals or services? I understand it artificially creates jobs, but that seems like a horrible thing to force.
This does not just apply to vehicles.
If there is no value added and only cost added, then it is pointless. If there is value added, then consumers should have a choice for it. If the only value is creating jobs and expenses, then it is pointless and detrimental to progression, price, and capitalism.
Set the password back to what they knew, wait for them to login and hijack it (another account friended) and use one of the sites that use the debug version of skype to obtain their ip. Then contact the ISP and say that either this illegally hijacking accounts or their IP/systems have been compromised. Don't forget to disassociate any cards prior.
Adding support for segmented transfers is not bloat... I don't want the full downthemall, but I want people with cross-atlantic connections to be able to just download and get their max speed they are capable of without having to get a third party plugin or application. Since there are download managers out there, it just proves that the download manager built in is broken....
The external download managers do other things also that do not need to like manage logins or have smart captcha support, etc.
I don't understand why they don't natively incorporate download managers like DownThemAll into Firefox. Segmented transfers, speed limiting, link catchers...
First, like many have stated, this video could be done for ~ around $1,000 USD for the same production quality and add an additional $200 USD could have been better.... but what caught my mind is how they uploaded it upscaled at quality that would look crappy even on a 2" screen.
So let me get this straight, it is only National Internet Sales Tax. This sounds like a good way to stimulate all economies except the US. I guess I will be buying more stuff from foreign locations. The US already made that cheaper than buying from the US prior with huge import and shipping cost reductions... now not having tax. The only thing the US had for them before was quicker shipping by about a week or two.
I think this will be a nightmare to regulate... although I am sure many online sites will get around it by it not being a first sale doctrine anymore. The store buys things and then resell as second hand items...
I would also like to note that the legit download seems to be very very slow. Possibly overloaded or qos.
I did email them, and they replied fairly quickly awknologing some points I made and stated they are "working through this right now."
They also offered another download key if I had needed it. I am waiting to see that if download completes before I request another download key. It keeps getting slower and slower.
DRM Free It's yours to enjoy - download or stream with no restrictions.
That is a lie.
Once you pay, it gives you 3 downloads. That is a pretty big restriction.
Plus their download counter does not look for if download is even started or done. It is click based. So clicking it, getting a what to do prompt, clicking cancel counts as a DL.
It could be lifetime of the service, Lifetime of the company, Lifetime of the consumer, Lifetime of the developer, Lifetime of their beta fish, Lifetime of the server, etc...

I wanted to add that I was pleasantly surprised to find that namecheap (domain registrar) also accepts bitcoins now.

I also want to add that the 51% attack is not what he thinks it is, it allows you to block transaction verification and recall your own transactions.
