Which is what needs to be remembered in all of these bitcoin discussions. If I gave cash to "some guy" and he stole it nobody would be saying "well you just can't trust paper currency!" They'd be saying "why the fsck did you give your money to 'some guy?"
Newton's laws also don't handle compound interest on a loan well. So what? There are other equations for taking friction into account. Use the right laws for the right task. It's not Newton's fault if you don't know what you're doing.

I kinda liked PHP but this stuff started to annoy me. Not only are these methods database specific, but there are tons of deprecated functions in PHP. Sure it's usable - but it's very easy to use functions you're "just not supposed to." Though perhaps that's something they're trying to change as well?
I forgot to add - and already have one or two maxed out toons. It could be useful if your guild needs a healer and your shammy is still at level 70 or something...
I think they should give it as an option only to players who have reached at least 70 or something. That way you get through almost all of the "learn your character stuff" before jumping into LFR under-geared and retarded.
It's pretty obvious you're using "muslim" to mean "middle-eastern." Being "technically correct" doesn't really matter in casual conversation. You're a dick either way - we're just debating how to describe what *kind* of dick you are at this point.
What insight. Which business magazine do you write for? Your knowledge on such things is "very deep" for somebody with no computing knowledge what-so-ever.
Can we get a mod up for this guy? Seriously - init scripts are a hack. They've always been a hack. Just because they're a hack you're comfortable with doesn't mean it's the "right way" to do it.
Reddit's not bad. I've been going there more often than slashdot these days. Easy to follow threads (which collapse nicely), similar mod system, etc. Some subreddits are better than others so YMMV.
Basically what happened was Microsoft tried to take the same keyboard/mouse interface of Windows and shove it in a portable handheld form factor. Apple realized that the UIs must be different because interactions are different between a precise keyboard/mouse and an imprecise touchscreen - things that are easy with a mouse can be quite hard with a touchscreen (drags, for example), and vice versa.
And now Microsoft has taken the same touch interface from their phones/tablets and shoved it into the desktop/laptop form factor...
This is my biggest concern with all of the crypto currencies.
I know inflation is seen as the tool of the devil today - but if you have a 200,000 BTC 30-year loan (for example) on a house that you're paying back over time then, as I understand it, it becomes in *harder* to pay it back (in 30 years the remaining value will be worth more than it was when you started rather than the other way around).
You're confusing inflation with deflation. The reason we would sub-divide the BTC further is due to deflation - the individual BTC would be worth too much. What happened in Zimbabwe is exactly the opposite - inflation caused the individual dollar to be worth too little.
Perhaps they could make it computationally expensive to create a new identity somehow - like when you solve bitcoins. Something short enough that a motivated user wouldn't mind waiting but which would be expensive enough to stop mass creations.

You're surprised people can be that stupid?

I have no idea what you are talking about with this.
Neither does he!

The dad had signed the agreement - he wasn't supposed to tell his daughter. Her spouting it on Facebook proves that he did.

Getting it right is easy. Not getting it wrong is hard. What is the false positive rate for this model? How many uprisings did it miss?
Even a stopped clock is right twice a day...

I see you contracted the Java Disease. I'm sorry for you.
(and no: I know about Smalltalk and all that. Still it's called the Java Disease. Guess why?)
I'll guess- because you're a moron?

I notice you didn't mention anything about providing a link to the original story... :-)
It's like google images and google news collided and exploded all over the place!
Holy hell that NBC site is just terrible! Perhaps even worse than the beta!

More than inflation "screams" fabrication with fiat currency?
What's more disturbing than "what you had yesterday is now worth less because 'economics you don't understand?'"

But it's a widely believed fact!
What's missing is the word "average." Local temperatures don't matter if the global average is increasing.
You don't pass a class if you get one "A" and the rest are "F's" Your *average* needs to be above a "C."
