I don't understand. The glasses are in front of your eyes, so anything you record you would also be seeing naturally with your eyes. If you can record somebody's ATM button presses with the classes, you can simply see the presses with your

huh. I would say that it's not really a HTML5 game in any sense of the word if you have to download a binary blob that runs in your browser window.

If you host everything on your own server, you have one point of failure. If you host some stuff on server 1 and some stuff on server 2, and you need both to function, then you have two points of failures.

But is it? If the only way your production server can check passwords is by sending hash(salt+pw+salt) and getting a true\false reply from a piece of external hardware...then even if an intruder got complete control though some exploit or i

The issue is how you enforce this. Obviously if somebody has root on your server they can just disregard any rules for how the database should be accessed. Maybe by having the database on external hardware with an API, but I can imagine thi

People need to realize that the shape of your key is pretty much a "password". Letting your keys lay on a table in open view is akin to leaving a piece of paper with your password out in open view.

But there will never be an IDE like that. It's like saying that trucks are always better than cars, provided that the truck uses less gas, fits better into small spaces, and is easier to control. Text editors win over IDEs because outside o

The real win is that if it becomes the underlying infrastructure, it is still possible for the common man to have a "manual wallet". You won't end up in walled garden situations where a single vendor controls with massive fees and restric

And if I were a counter-shill, your accusations is exactly the sort I would be writing in a reply. But more seriously, it's sad that this is becoming a bigger and bigger problem.

Don't you have to get all other bitcoin users to also migrate over to this new algorithm? And even if it's just down for a couple of days, that's terrible. Bitcoin is still pretty small in the grand scheme of things, but imagine if regular

Provided, as you say, that the parent universe has the same physical laws. We would have no way to know that.

And how often can the mistake be repeated before I can blog about it without being sued? Two times? Three times?

I personally think the negative feedback was silly to leave (because it was trivial, not false). However, suing the person who left feedback has far reaching implications. What else could we start suing customers for using their freedom of

And after you blog about your negative experience of having lunch taken away by accident, the bully sues you for slander. In my book everybody acted within acceptable reason until they sued him for leaving a true review on ebay.

On this blog there are 11 "share this" buttons, a huge pointless banner of mostly black space, and half a page worthwhile of text is followed by 5 pages of black space to allow for all the sidebar links. Is he being ironic?

Even after the last bitcoin is mined you can still mine for transaction fees.

While what you say is true, it's also possible to arbitrarily declare another metal "the new gold" just like it's possible to make a new cryptocurrency.

Interesting problem, but I don't think it will actually be that big of an issue. The merchant could generate a new wallet for every customer, and simply "dump" any wallet under attack by said customer.

They forked it because they want to take the code in another direction. They aren't being any worse open source citizen than anybody else that forks open source.

What? Android stopped being "me too" quite some time ago, now Apple needs to play the catch up game.

by Drakim 14y ago
But now the game has changed from "most people don't need this" to "if you bought Apple you get Apple". The latter does not deflect the original criticism thrown at Apple here, they are overly restrictive to the point where it's bad for the

But the iPhone isn't just lacking in one or two options. It's a very locked down platform in several ways. I have a hard time applying your argument of "a lot of people have no use" when it comes to something as fundamental as being allowed

by Drakim 14y ago
I can understand your point, but too often this sounds like an extremely weak excuse: "So iPhone doesn't have this feature? Good! I didn't want it anyway!". I personally see having more options and choices as a great thing even when I don't

Along with any official client that is slightly out of date. Twitter might be hesitant to alienate their users.

I guess with bitcoin being so anonymous, it would be easier to get away with fraud and never be caught compared to a company that accepts USD though VISA.

Can these industrial 3d-printers print themselves? 30 000 is nothing if you have exponential growth. But more seriously, I guess the speed could increase over time as the technology is improved, and unlike human workers these could run over

This is not a problem specific to HTML5. Although it's a lot harder to mess with a binary than some JavaScript, everything that runs on client side is fundamentally compromised and untrustworthy. The trick is to have as many checks and bala

This is exactly what is happening over at Norway. The government takes all our wages and distributes the money equally across the population. /s I hate it when people present everything as a black and white situation. Apparently either we l
