The value of anything is assigned by people themselves, nothing has inherent value. It will have value when people assign it to it, which many people already have apparently.
What the client *should* do is what every fucking private-key-storing tool does: encrypt the god damned private keys with a secret key that the user must enter before the client can sign a transaction. But, of course, this is too brain-dead fucking obvious, apparently.
Too cheap to crack computationally, no security would be achieved and you've just annoyed the users by adding an extra step they can forget (and also lose all their bitcoins by forgetting their password)
You get bitcoins by doing the calculations which are required to use bitcoins, so, it's not based upon anything other than the belief that it's valuable.
Can you please explain how anything is _inherently_ valuable? all value is assigned by people themselves.
USDs are essentially just paper, but you're guaranteed to at least be able to pay your taxes with them, pay debt, or exchange them into whatever your local currency is via most banks.
And if those uses are for some reason not needed by you at all and yet bitcoins is, how is bitcoin less valuable?
Lesson of the day, there is no inherent value, all values are subjective.
One thing I don't get is, why does everyone seem to assume I'm christian?
Taken from a comedy perspective I can see how things could have been viewed out of context, I was expecting someone trying to put arguments forward for legalizing marijuana.
It's still important for the distro to fit on a single CD.
Why?
Up the space to a single layer dvd like the fedora dvd releases, and you can fit pretty much all the software you will ever need on it. All the common window managers, compilers, ides, games, etc.
I never understood why people think that the software for their entire system has to come in at under 600mb, in 2011.
This fixes those people that are like 'I'm not going to use k*whatever because it needs me to download QT, because it is already on the system. (not to mention they fail to realize they only have to download it once then they can access all of the qt apps without downloading it again).
Should minimalist cut down versions of distros still exist? of course, and they will serve their niches. But there is no reason that this should be the default for everyone.
Christianity has a built-in defense system: anything that questions a belief, no matter how logical the argument is, is the work of Satan by the very fact that it makes you question a belief. It's a very interesting defense mechanism and the only way to get by it -- and believe me, I was raised Southern Baptist -- is to take massive amounts of mushrooms, sit in a field, and just go, "Show me." ` Bill Hicks (I'm sure he had you in mind when he said it)
Probably not, considering I don't believe in stories like christianity.
I was looking for an argument _for_ pot. But I did not see one. Christianity has nothing at all to do with whether a good argument for the legalization of pot can be produced.
If you don't believe drugs have done good things for us, then go home and burn all your records, all your tapes, and all your CDs because every one of those artists who have made brilliant music and enhanced your lives? RrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrEAL fucking high on drugs. The Beatles were so fucking high they let Ringo sing a few songs.
Music is simply sound which inspires emotion or thought. So what even is 'music' is subjective to the listener. The art of making music is basically the art of the manipulation of the human mind through applied use of psychology through a non-typical medium of doing so.
So to start with saying any music is objectively 'better' than any other is a very difficult task.
When looked at from an analytical perspective all of the properties we associate with music are maths related. Our sense of tone is logarithmic and the space between two octaves when viewed logarithmically has the same dissonance properties from octave to octave. There are composers out there who are cold and mathematical such as beethoven that appeal to the masses just fine.
I have never seen two people on pot get in a fight because it is fucking IMPOSSIBLE. "Hey, buddy!" "Hey, what?" "Ummmmmmm...." End of argument.
You are incapacitating the mind as such that you cannot fight, so does this mean we should legalize all drugs that effect your mind in such a way to incapacitate you? So tranquilizer drugs can now be easily acquired too?
They lie about marijuana. Tell you pot-smoking makes you unmotivated. Lie! When you're high, you can do everything you normally do, just as well. You just realize that it's not worth the fucking effort. There is a difference.
So.. you are saying that when you smoke pot, you don't see why anything is worth the effort of doing, and yet saying it doesn't make you unmotivated?!? That is a complete contradiction.
I don't get the egg references or how this has anything to do with christianity in the slightest.
That's in the same price class as the iPhone, so why don't get the real thing?
You are ascribing the iphone and the iphone only with the properties of a quality smartphone that fits your needs, and somehow anything else that also fits those needs is not "the real thing".
Android is not a cheap clone of ios, it is its own entity made from scratch that in many ways ios is constantly playing catch up with. On average it takes 6-9 months for features in android to appear in ios. Not to mention the notification system in android is far easier to use for the layman.
Basically your post screams that apple is awesome and anything that is not apple is not 'real' even if it can suit needs better.
I deliberately avoided the model because it turns out it runs a weird OS nobody knows, reviews online were mixed. You don't have that problem with the iPhone: the only differences are in storage and external colour, which for the non-tech user is the only thing that is interesting in the first place (the colour, not the storage) Comparing a 150€ phone with a 600€ phone is not fair. However, if you get a HTC at 500€ or 600€, then I really don't see why you wouldn't get the "real thing".
So, any expensive, quality phone that is not an iphone is not the "real thing"?. Not to mention that the htc phone you got her wasn't even an android one?
You are comparing apples to oranges. You've associated apple with quality and anything that is not apple that is quality is not the "real" thing. Cheap android phones exist that could suit your wifes needs, and it is the iphones primary competitor, but that was not what it was compared against.
I don't see life being that much harder for pirates at all.
Were you even around for the dreamcast era?
You could burn discs and play them on unmodified consoles. You're saying that it's not making it that much harder? mod chips and even soft mods are a crap tonne harder than simply inserting a disc.
...and responding with "don't like the lockout, don't buy the console" is something you can afford, but not the console makers. Enough people don't buy and their business tanks.
Their business, their choice, who are you to force any particular business decision upon them? (unless you are a majority shareholder, which I doubt). They seem to be doing well so far.
The problem with your argument, is that all of the advanced unnecessary accessories are now comparatively cheap, whereas the basic necessities of life are increasing in cost dramatically.
A standard size house block of land 50km away from the nearest cbd here costs approximately $300k-400k AUD (about $330k-440k USD) _without_ even a house on it.
You are looking at closer to a million dollars simply for a typical house.
Food is still relatively inexpensive if you actually make your own. No one in the 60/70's bought large quantites of pre-made food and ate out for 3 meals a day of fast food.
The costs of the land to grow your own food costs far more than the produce you would create. If you mean going to the shopping centre and getting ingredients, fast food can work out cheaper.. that is how expensive normal food is these days. It only makes sense to go normal food shopping if you have 3+ people and buy in bulk to create big meals.
What most people take for granted today as a mediocre lifestyle is beyond what even the wealthy had access to in the 60's and 70's
Depends on what you want from life, financial independence, owning your own home, not having food bills eat most of your income? Something many now cannot achieve which was easily doable back then.
Basically, all the luxuries are now cheap, and all the basic necessities of life are now expensive, nice work there.
The plant was designed to handle tsunamis, just one 1/3rd the size of the one that hit, no other tsunamis anywhere near that had hit that area etc.
So say they triple the height of the tsunamis it can handle, and then a meteor strikes in the ocean and one 5x the size comes along... still screwed.
It's called diminishing returns, you can't make something safe for all situations (I mean hell try and make something safe for when the sun explodes in billions of years)
Once in an unknown period of time freak of nature natural disasters can and will happen, and designing for these as regular operating procedure will simply retard everyone getting on to cleaner nuclear power.
What you are arguing is essentially that no one should ever be able to tinker with their own hardware because it may compromise the platform.
Not really, tinker to your hearts content, but don't expect a company in whose best interests it is in to cut you out to make it _easy_ for you.
The same argument can be made against home programming on the PC.
If I buy a locked out pc (a.k.a console) I don't expect them to make it easy for me to do my own things. Sure I can do my own things anyway, and they can't stop me, doesn't mean they have to make it easy for me since after all I bought the device locked down knowingly of my own will.
Stifling innovation, tinkering and free spirit is way too high a price to pay to protect some company's intellectual property.
You cannot stop tinkering, but you are buying locked out hardware and bitching that it is locked out, smart move there. You purchase something, you are free to hack it and do as ou wish with it, companies such as nintendo are free to go "you have modified outside of its intended use, no warranty, store or nintendo game usage for you" they are as much within their rights to do so as you are within your rights to tinker.
As for casual gamers not bothering to pirate, not every casual gamer needs to know how to write a USB loader, just how to install it. That too is a losing strategy.
Even when they are silly enough to update and have that wipe all of their precious hacks that they have no knowledge as to how things were detected and how to avoid? When keeping your hacked box playing legit games involves keeping up with the latest in news of the console and effort, well you've achieved making life that little bit hard enough doing it that you've discouraged some from bothering. This is the goal of nintendo.
I'm all for tinkering on absolutely everything, but purchasing something that is known to be locked out and bitching about it is just idiotic is my point, don't like getting around the locks? don't buy the hardware, simple enough hey?
What maker has been effective at stopping them by harassing people.
Honestly, go after the pirates, not the tinkerers.
Homebrew feeds piracy, while homebrew itself is fine and dandy it exposes raw hardware which can easily be used for pirate methods (see wii usb loaders everywhere, which while they do serve a valid purpose for reducing loading times I imagine a fair number of people have a few games they don't legitimately own from tpb)
Their aim is not to stop homebrew outright, but just make the barrier of entry higher. With a sufficiently high barrier of entry to playing with it tinkerers will simply be more determined and the people who think 'I just want to play burnt games' are more likely to simply not bother.
While true, from a free and open source software's perspective it was irrelevant. Which was the original case in point, since they now offer lgpl too it can be argued that now they are an even more flexible option.
They made gtk back when QT had crappy licensing conditions, since QT 1.4 (around 1998) then these conditions have been remedied and qt is distributed by gpl (or commercial if you feel like paying).
Is it possible less developers will use it? sure, but that isn't a problem with licensing, qt is gpl and lgpl licensed (with commercial available if you pay). I fail to see the issue as this was resolved well over a decade ago.
Not enough memory for the code, obscenely crappy video hardware, and even if you could it would likely take up to a half minute to render a horrendously colour glitched frame.
Or NES.
The snes port required a 21mhz superfx chip inside the cartridge that did all of the 3d transforms etc and had it's own ram on cart, it basically dma'd rendered tiles to the video processor (snes could do 256 colour suiting original content just fine). Also the machine had 128k of ram no chance in hell on a nes
Or Sega Genesis? That last one is a surprise since the Amiga version should be able to run on the Genesis with some simple modification.
Amiga had far better video hardware present, as well as faster processor and an order of magnitude more ram. The mega drive could only handle 16 colours on screen at a time without some serious hacks.
It might not have been there by default if you installed from one of the live CDs as opposed to the full DVD.
I still don't get why people bother with the live cds, With a single dvd you can have basically all the software you will ever need, and in an age of 1tb+ hard disks too. Yet people still insist on getting a horrendously cut-down system. Using the dvd people can install kde AND gnome at first installation, along with any other window manage they choose. But people insist on having their entire system and apps come in at under 700mb, lunacy.
Hell, you can kquitapp plasma-desktop and just use krunner (alt+f2 originally, mapped to alt+space for speedier access) for *everything*. Yes, *everything*.
This. It's my standard operating procedure, people look at me funny for some reason though when they see me using my machine.
You haven't got a standard API; that's bullshit. You have GTK+ and Qt, both which look completely out-of-place when being run under the desktop that doesn't use it by default.
So, I'm running kde but qt and gtk apps at the same time, so I just opened up konqueror (qt) and pidgin (gtk) for comparison. Differences noted:
qt apps have the alt-button shortcut for menu items underscored, gtk one didn't. Different icons in the submenus for the same things (about etc)
Is this the kind of level where it is really worth bitching about that? really?
And yes, the KDE 4.x theme is terribly bad. It's like the designers never heard of this concept called 'padding'.
They are screwed if they do, screwed if they don't. The moment they add padding people will bitch about said padding wasting screen space. Me included, it's called efficiency. Dolphin already wastes too much screen space for me so I use konqueror, making it worse will only make people bitch more.
Dolphin is not the same. (even if it uses the same backend for regular file browsing)
For starters it defaults without a location bar, with an information bar and folder selection bar. These things can be fixed of course, but are a very annoying default that konqueror doesn't have to deal with. However a few things that can't be fixed (or at least I haven't seen how after briefly loading it) you cannot get rid of the icon size buttons that take up considerable space and clutter the interface, the forward and back buttons take up 3x as much space for some reason, there is no up (parent directory) button. And when enabled the location bar takes up it's own line as opposed to simply being between the next/back buttons and search bar. Window splits are useless because two tabs are better.
I'm not sure about you, but for the most part I consider music a mostly background thing. While it plays you can do other things. Looking at the lyrics and videos is an active affair, and one that takes all of five seconds to google. Why have that clutter in your music selection interface? And why introduce the dependency of a network to retrieve said information?
It is more than readily accessible via google if so inclined.

To illustrate, you have provided the relative costs of land in Australia under the pretext that it is roughly equivalent elsewhere.
Not really, if anything it was kind of a comment that I personally am screwed for buying a house unless I can consistently earn six figures.
