So by this logic is all free and open source software "nihilistic"?

The ping data did not come from Rolls Royce, it came from the SATCOM provider. Rolls Royce did not receive data after the aircraft reached cruise altitude, despite early false reports that they did. The early maneuvering was seen on militar

There's only one satellite, so they only have (as far as we know) the delay time between sending out the ping and hearing a response to determine distance from satellite to aircraft, with no ability to triangulate the position as somet

There is no indication that is a low flying aircraft. It's reasonably common to see aircraft in satellite photos and nothing looks too out of the ordinary about this one. Nothing is indicating that clouds are above it either. Furthermo

The primary function of mining is not creation of coins, but security of the network. Mining is the reward to make sure enough people do it that transactions don't become exploitable.

All systems on board an aircraft can be shut off for a number of reasons. In case of a power failure, the pilot must choose what functions are the most essential to the continued operation of the aircraft on the limited battery power remain

It is very unlikely (but has occasionally happened) that a cellphone would get reception at 35,000 feet.

Too bad the missing plane is a 777-200.

It's not that fascinating. Most of the world does not have cellular or radar coverage, and those are the places where you will have a hard time finding missing aircraft (and phones).

No. The latest evidence shows that it flew on for hours afterwards and continued responding to satellite pings. If it exploded at the point where the transponder went offline, debris would have been found in that area by now.

Because after the pictures were taken they had to search thousands of square miles of ocean to find any tiny speck of anything that looked interesting. It's a very slow and tedious process.

No, he saw something that he suspected might be the airliner in flames. Search aircraft were unable to find anything in connection with the locations he gave.

I've done cross-country Amtrak travel multiple times and enjoyed it every time. You just have to be prepared for potential delays and willing to take it easy and roll with it. If you aren't in a hurry and see the trip as part of y

2 GB of RAM is nowhere near enough for OS X anymore. You need 8 GB minimum and 16 GB if you are doing anything substantial.

His identity as Dorian Nakamoto has been confirmed. The money is largely being donated as an apology by people who do not believe he is Satoshi and don't like seeing a random person harassed by the media.

I don't know how blockchain.info actually works. If you give them your decryption key at any point, even if they claim not to keep it, then you're heavily relying on trusting them and that's not much better than the other web

To expand upon this because I think it's interesting and not something that everyone appears to understand with how the blockchain works: those are effectively the same. Everyone's coins are distributed across the entire Bitcoin n

Mt.Gox's failure had nothing to do with the Bitcoin protocol and everything to do with their own incompetence at running a financial exchange of that size. Many people's losses could have been avoided if they followed common advic
