Hah, my first thought is "humans also make the government" and I know which one I'd optimize first... sorry about the snark though.

> Daylight saving time ends Nov. 3, setting off an annual ritual where Americans (who don’t live in Arizona or Hawaii) and residents of 78 other countries including Canada (but not Saskatchewan), most of Europe, Australia and New Zealand turn their clocks back one hour.

I find it hard to take this solution seriously when they can't even get the basic facts right. I'm sure this is some kind of argumentative fallicy but Australia's DST started in October and we put our clocks forward one hour, because we're in the Southern Hemisphere and heading in to summer. This semi-makes the article's point about confusion... but really computers have fixed all that confusion for me anyway.

No, because working schedules are based on the clock face.

Looks like a standard catalogue photograph to me. Opportunity wasted.

Is there a way, given consensus among the bitcoin community, to mark these coins as "bad" and effectively destroy their value?

Right now I'm listening to "Chronojigga" a Jay-Z/Chronotrigger mix. IT's great.

This occidental fascination with Japanese sex is embarrassing. Or perhaps I just feel that these "reports" don't lend enough academic gravitas to the subject and end up being weird, discomforting vouyeristic pieces that conflate several different phenomena without the rigour the topic deserves.

If there is one argument it's impossible to win, it's an argument with people trying to impose their own "original" or "traditional" word usage over the more colloquial understanding of it's meaning.

While I appreciate what you're trying to say, it seems obvious that "viewing" and "editing the content of" a website are quite different concepts. If you've been told to no longer edit the content of my website and you continue to do so, it would be hard to argue against a charge of unauthorized access.

I had registered with Microsoft my copy of Windows 98, and they mailed me a CD with an upgrade to SE for free when it was released.

> And setting up transcoding to mp4 just made me realize that there are better uses of my time than dealing with such piddly issues. I'd rather be learning rust for example than dealing with streaming/transcoding issues to my phone.

AFAIK that's not an issue? I have VLC on two iOS devices and you open the app, turn on the internal server, go to your web browser and drag/drop files in to it. VLC on iOS plays every format the desktop application plays.

Perhaps he means used these systems through upgrade/transfer installs via a firewire system transfer or similar

Partially related: Is it technically possible to "blacklist" the bitcoins that the FBI seized given a great enough consensus, to make their value effectively worthless?

OP's logic I presume, is that certain government services aren't available for that time so why is he being asked to pay for them?
