> Also, nothing would ensure that the electronic money you accumulate would hold its value, and nothing would prevent the operators of the platform from issuing more, in the first instance to themselves.

Nothing prevents the government from doing the same. Also bitcoins are regulated by math, by principle I trust math more than I trust the government.

I am ranked 2 in 3v3 Random Gold league.

I think SC let's you learn how to play mind games, one of the ways to win a match is to understand what your opponents will think or do and play against that, surprise them, do something they would not expect.

There was a match where my allies were defeated I was alone and the 3 terran enemies got ready to drop the hammer on me with a bio army ( marines, marauders ), but I defeated all 3 of them with a handful of dark templars, because they were not prepared for that and I knew that because they were too self confident. Winning the game meant that I had to micro my units to their full extend, not letting them have a second to build detectors and jeopardize my plan so this really reinforces the notion that when you have an advantage you need to use that and get a bigger one.

A hard part of the game is that when you see that your tactic fails, you need to switch over to something else. When you have an air fleet and you realize that the enemy has marines, stalkers or any other anti air units, you need to build anti ground units instead and make use of your existing fleet, like attacking the enemy base while their army is busy fighting your second army.

The game also lets you take risks, you can go build cannons next to someone's base, you can quickly strike down a base with reapers, you could destroy a base with void rays or you could frustrate the enemy with mutalisks. These are all high risk, high reward moves, you could win the game in a few minutes, but you could also lose it if the enemy is well prepared for your tactic.

You could take a lot of real life situations and turn them into an SC game. The reason I play it is because it sharpens the mind, makes you think and act fast.

My advice is take jQuery Mobile, extract the parts you care about and build your web app your own way. You don't have to use the whole thing. I agree with not trying to emulate native apps.

Yes, it's just a poor excuse for trying to take control over the web. If they would really care about the so called cyber security they would help people learn to make it more secure.

I implied that they could be more civil if there is a chance that the owner of the internet connection is not the criminal. They could knock on the door, politely ask the owner to answer some questions and do the rough stuff after they are absolutely sure that that guy is the one they are looking for.

My hypocrisy sensor went off. They should take a look at Mortal Kombat, Call of Duty, Blood Rayne to name a few. In these games people kill people, they slice and dice them, why not complain against those. Aren't those games sending the wrong message?

Just because a game contains objectionable material doesn't mean that the players will do that.

All they had to do is simply check if the guy had an unprotected wifi signal or not, but it was much easier breaking down the poor man's door and harrasing him.

They didn't have much of a choice, either that or they would have been burned for being a heretic.

More thought:

Religion preaches that we should simply accept stuff as fact without proof. The Bible condemns knowledge, it says that we are all sinners by default because our ancestors have accessed the tree of knowledge.

No sane person accepts baseless assumptions without proof. If I would tell you that your great great great grand parent was raised by mice would you believe me?

Sorry but currently religion is the true venom.

No sane person can take the bible literally. It's a piece of paper containing text that was written long ago when people didn't had this much technology.

I do the same it's really expressive IMHO, it's strange at start but when you understand it it's awesome.

This article takes stuff out of context.

I wonder what would Microsoft do with all those Androids and iPads out there. It seems that they are having a real hard time realizing that for once in a life, this is not about them :)
