Do you have any screenshots of this computer setup with vim?

Mining was profitable to average users (i.e. not sitting on huge piles of cash) in 2011 and early 2012 probably (source: I owned two 5970s and some 5870s at mined quite a few coins with them). Right now you have to invest much money in ASIC

One (small) thing that isn't correct is that your Bitcoin address is not the public key. It's actually hash of the public key [1], using RIPEMD-160 and SHA-256 algorithms, with a network type and a checksum added to it, then encod

I think the biggest giveaway from this article isn't how do you tell a false memory from the real one (because you can't), but the fact that you can have false memories at all. You can be 100% sure that something happened and at t

That's probably because its settings are so unique and different from other browsers. And since not many people check that site, you could be the first one.

This is a nice initiative, but I would like to see the source code of this browser. Without it, I cannot be 100% sure that what Epic devs say is true and it's not an elaborate NSA trick to get our data :). No hard feelings, just in the

As I said, it's hard/close to impossible to reliably achieve this effect for live content. With static content you can use CSS filters to do the blurring.

I've looked into this as well. At the moment it is impossible to achieve this effect in plain HTML/Javascript/CSS. It would probably need some Canvas/WebGL magic to work for live content below the navigation bar, but tha

I do that all the time. I live in Poland and bought hundreds of things from the Internet. Buyer always pays first, and there are no such things as chargebacks. And yet most people are okay with that. Only US people take chargebacks for gran

Quite hard to accept goats and chickens from people living on another continent. With Bitcoin it's possible, fast and costs pennies. Plus, many Bitcoin supporters are buying from merchants that accept Bitcoin just because of that, so w

That's only true if one has access to data at every point in the block chain. If at some point coins go to a private person or company that didn't advertise their address anywhere you're lost. There's no way to know who

As derefr said, there are many third party processors who will handle the Bitcoin for you and wire you the cash directly as soon as you receive Bitcoin payment. Or you can do it yourself and sell your BTC as soon as you get them.

But with Bitcoin, if you trust the merchant/recipient you can opt out of using escrow and transfer the money directly to him. With Paypal it's impossible.

Bitcoin is a protocol that gives you as much privacy as you want. You can use one-time addresses both for sending and receiving, which gives you more privacy than using Paypal or credit cards directly.

People can get tired of other people telling this, but really, they should use Bitcoin. There are several advantages of this: accountability (you can verify with the block chain that they really received your payment), ease of use (utilizin

This is not the first time Paypal did that [1] and it most certainly won't be the last time. That's one of the reasons Bitcoin was invented. I hope that events like this will drive its adoption as a safe alternative for crowd fund

The article doesn't touch one service that can be, and is used regularly by people that want to stay anonymous with Bitcoin and yet cash out - mixing services. You can essentially lose the block chain trail using them. Say you have mon

Same on iPad, though after a minute or two (!) or so it finally begins to work. It has probably something to do with that 100000 row table on the landing page.

The sad thing is that strategy works and it works quite well. Most people that are not very technical will just click "Next" and "Agreed" blindly to complete software installation. I've seen numerous PCs plagued wit

This makes me sad, because I was really excited for that game. I even wrote a small QuickBASIC to DCPU-Assembly compiler with Go [1] for it, which was a nice Go learning project for me. I hope that someone will pick up this great idea and b

It is a convention that when you say "written in bash" it means "using bash language and standard *nix binaries". Bash alone can't do anything, nearly every keyword in it is actually a binary, including "echo&q

That could unltimately become a good thing. Now Bitcoin suffers from low liquidity, and a single person with considerable resources can shift the price by few dollars or more. When big guys start jumping in, it will be much harder to manipu

Creating these required huge amount of initial investment. That's why all these companies were taking preorders - to cover up initial expenses. It would of course be ideal for them just to manufacture the machines only for themselves,

Face recognition for authentication is a huge fail. Google already tried that with Android and it was a big failure. Most of the time a person having your photo and showing it to the camera is enough. In other cases a short video can be use

I believe that lack of communication channel is not a problem here. If someone like you wants to let the developer know about this, he will find a way to contact him. Most of these reviews are from the non-developer crowd who somehow en

Declaring Bitcoins as currency is one thing. The other thing is how do people prove to the court that they don't own Bitcoins anymore because they've sent them to BTCST (the famous pirateat40 hedge fund), and even if judge accepts

5*400 = 2,000, a day. Multiply this by 30 days and you already have 60,000 auths per month, while only 20,000 are in the $99 plan.
