Actually for me bitcoin proves just how few people can ACTUALLY spot a pyramid scheme or a pump and dump - instead resorting to calling everything that seems too good to be true a scam. It may work 99.9% of the time, but BTC is the false po

There would be huge problems with killing copyright IMHO. Most open source licenses are based on it for example. http://arstechnica.com/open-source/news/2009/07/pirate-party...

How about trying a benchmark that mimics an actual program that someone would use.

I would also like to see that developers were required to state why each permission is needed and present this to the user at install time.

I do not think that this is a hype. It seems to me that a fully decentralized payment system would be of huge value to buyers and sellers. Don't you agree with this? Or do you believe that while useful, bitcoin won't be the system that prev

I have really wondered about this objection. Why not just sell it on your website, the way that has worked for computer programs and services forever? You're in full control, can choose any way of charging that you want and so on. Is it les

The Local usually is the best source for Swedish news in English. http://www.thelocal.se/28496/20100821/ Isn't wikileaks hosted in Sweden btw? I don't think it would be affected, but still a thing to keep in mind.

I never claimed that the addressed value would be incremented, and that is not what is being discussed here, even though that too would have been a problem. The thing is, at some point the compiler must calculate the address where to store

Just keep them as BCD and add / xor them in parallel, as show here (under Packed BCD Arithmetic / addition): http://www.cs.uiowa.edu/~jones/bcd/bcd.html#packed Then just keep track if at least one carry was generated instead of checking i

I had to try it just because I wanted to know. With -Wall GCC says: pquest.c:279: warning: operation on 'fp' may be undefined Not sure what 'may' means though EDIT: So to clarify, my suspicion is that the expression could mean either: 1)

Isn't the result of this undefined? while (i--) *fp++ = *fp >> 4; I'm sure he tested it and it does the right thing on his compiler/computer, but for anyone thinking of picking up the challenge...
