Yeah, I just assume that today's 23-year-olds (or 13-year-olds) should all know this, and had the same experience as me, using notepad.exe to alter/test some html, which was grabbed from a "CD-ROM", that came with a "magazine", with something like "Netscape 1.0" (for Win 3.1) on it, in late 1994! What's The Frequency, Kenneth?

All bitcoin has done so far is make the people with as little as $50 to spare (in 2011, 2012) into rich people. The rest of us in recession hit Europe have merely been screwed by it. I'm not saying it will crash or won't, but it's promoted more inequality than most other instruments.

and saying "the value of the bitcoin economy is $5bn" or whatever is disingenuous. Economies are measured by the FLOW of money - the gdp, not the STOCK - the total value of the money supply in a different currency. The amount of money changing hands is what matters - and afaik, that's miniscule in comparison.

Yes. Usability fail. OS X often has no scrollbars. Unity has none? My mouse has no horiz-scoll. Wed designers stop doing this. We aren't all using tablets!

Wow:

Spam Filter Not Triggered By Typing "Nigger" 85 Times.

Some new gold standard for shittyness in software. I know a lot of Googleplexizens moved to Fb and Apple, but, huh????

I feel like my personal site should reject all current web design practice and just have Times with the occasional {h1} black on #ccc with #00f links. You'll never come up to the standard people expect in this world of ajax, tumblr and css3, so why not just do it CERN and Netscape style?

Dark green on yellow is actually the easiest to read, but that's garish.

So, and I'm not advocating it, as long as you legalise or conceal the source of the money invested, you can hold money and earn any [capital appreciation against your currency] without your government tax authority knowing that you even have this capital. As long as you divest it when you have changed jurisdiction to somewhere you are willing to pay tax (eg. 0%) on this "income" or wealth you are tax-free? Same as offshore banking with no remittances to your home accounts?

What's wrong with that word. Women I know use it all the time. They don't mind being the subject of a transitive verb instead of the actor. One conquers them because they have huge ... tracts of land.

also because people, not just men, who become leaders are psychopaths, so any damage they do is just a fun bonus, not something they'll sweat, a nice addition to the money, sex and power they get. And yes, sex too - power turns women on and powerful women turn men on too. e.g. I don't really consider JFK a rapist - he just never had to ask... any of his hundreds of conquests.

Homer Simpson : ...before the weight of the world broke my spirit.

Seems to have happened to me too. If it were possible to disable my conscience I would probably opt for it. Where's Dick Fuld now, eh?? Employed.

I don't understand. Does the article say that changing your ip is wrong and precedent-setting as such. Has Aaron, with all respect to him, left us ironically with the tyranny of true names? Legal precedent nationally across the US?

"The SSL alarm is down, back up the redundant firewall so we can override the EXE bus!" Nonsense. but the idea of SSL alarms would be good.

Yes, the package as is will not route the bittorent traffic over tor, but since this is for people who don't even know how to use proxies, some of them will probably start configuring their torrent clients to use the same proxies.

since "the killjoys" (actually quite accurate in this case) AT WIKIPEDIA won't let me put the words 'LUDICROUS SPEED' in blink tags or capitals on the Spaceballs article, what's the point in having it anyway?

Rather than rant.

!Just search twitter for 'operation IGNORE Assange' which I have been running since he went in there!

Isn't this now, like, the Duke Nukem Forever of Mac text editors?

Big mistake in the first para. This is what happens when MSM covers tech. Tor and the discretion of the sellers makes Silk Road EFFECTIVELY anon, not bitcoin per se. The sellers have your postal address and your bitcoin data.
