I previously worked in a company where the main product was an IP camera. Most of the team was building a windows client to interface with the camera and I was a one man army to handle the software onboard. I'd say that most software p

While I do support LGBT people, I fail to see how my browser's CEO should take a stance on this. You may call me short sighted if you want, but I fail to see how caring about the employee's personal values have anything to do with

While this is true for desktop mining and to some extend, gpu mining, largest and most powerful pools use ASIC boxes which are not re-programmable. Some hash algos perform better than others on gpu depending on the parallelization potential

While this doesn't explain MtGox losses, this is still around 200k$ at today's worth, enough to interest a lot of criminals

But until I tie a wallet address with the physical world (like credit card or such), then they have no way of knowing that I own those coins. Also it will not be possible to determine from the blockchain only which amount of USD was paid fo

I don't see how this law could be enforceable. Hiding bitcoins from the IRS seems to be trivial and lying about the real acquisition value as well. This is very different from stocks where all trades are overseen by the SEC. You can&#x

What if the "inventor" of Bitcoin isn't even really named Satoshi Nakamoto? All of this manhunt would have been in vain for so long.

Something common among all of his experiences is that he never seemed to have done projects FOR HIMSELF. Reading books and completing tutorials and examples does gives an introduction, but if you don't have a goal, something that motiv

It is only a confusion of terminology. They have a lot of revenues which they spend before they can be taxed, so they declare a lot of expenditures but no profits. Many charities and religious institutions work like this.

So you need access to the router first with enough power to force a firmware update. What would surprise me is if there are vendors immune from this kind of APT. Given the money and talent invested in those hacks, bricking a whole cargo con

I'm so angry I put a banner on my website. While I greatly support the cause, I doubt the effects this "online protest" will have.

I don't know if it is a generalized feeling, but I sometimes tend to idolize my University years, where I was restlessly spending my time for pure pursuit of knowledge and truth (yeah, yeah :p). Really, those years were more about swea

It was all fun and games until chrome crashed and lost the code I was writing.

This is a very important question. I routinely build gaming PCs for friends and relatives and all this stuff is pretty hard to come by for less than 1000$. Especially this huge GTX 780 which is pretty high end.

Don't they have the Snowden Leaks? It would be very useful to have internal email conversations about them. There is a great deal of people who would be interested in that around the globe.

So you've screwed him out of 13 000$, but gave him back 50$? That is ADORABLE.

This only makes them "more american". Many people feel that they are the extension of the US government abroad since they collaborate with the US so closely.

What you say is absolutely true. But another large problem here is that the targeted countries' governments are ok with those strikes for the most part. Have you noticed that those strikes only happen in poor countries with little mean

Not only that, but the listening application must have some kind of exploitable vulnerability.

This is exactly what I thought when reading the article. Gamma rays have not been found beyond a certain level of energy? We must therefore live in a simulation! Even the big bang had a finite amount of energy, this doesn't prove anyth

I don't think it is possible with exactly 33 questions. It will probably require more than that. Binary numbers have the property of adding twice as many numbers +1 for every new bit. For example if you already have 7 bits and you add

I remember wolfram alpha being marketed pre-release as something that would make Google obsolete. The only reason I ever use this is for math when I do not have access to a native alternative such as matlab. Considering that I use less math

The biggest problem with ASIC miners that I see is that they do not ship until "a few months". With the mining difficulty growing exponentially [1], the hardware you buy now will be relatively obsolete in a few months. For example

Maximum monetary contributions to a political party in Canada is only a fraction of what it is in the US (1200$ max). Also it is impossible for a corporation to donate directly. This reduce lobbying to diner parties and yacht rides. My gues

I think that the overall phone size is rather constant, but the bezel on the side of the screen are constantly shrinking, allowing larger screens without transforming the phone into a tablet (yet).
