After all the amount of money lost to off-by-one errors (millions? billions? who knows) I have to completely disagree with this. It's workable in C with its pointer arithmetic and other low level bit twiddling but this has no business in

No, the point of the joke is that the mathematician uses natural numbers (0,..) and everyone else uses ordinal numbers (1rst, 2nd, ...) so when his wife asked for 12 he thought she meant 0-12. What she actually meant was 1-12. So it was a

According those that forum (same thread) they're only in Japan to escape fallout from a previous scandal.

Given their track record this seems very possible.

This is actually a big deal. We are testing the waters of non-government controlled currency with Bit coins so cases like this are very interesting.

This part of their story was made up to cover themselves. The "attackers" didn't run into any limit. They sold off a bunch of bit coins. A legitimate user bought then and then (sensibly) tried to get them out of the system, hitting the l

How can you fault a guy who does what traders try to do every single day? The fault is only with Mt Gox here and this isn't the first shady thing they've done (apparently even changing jurisdictions to avoid getting sued over previous abus

by danssig 15y ago
Wow, Mt. Gox sound like a bunch of criminals. Did everyone see the link (posted 2 or 3 times) where something shady happened before and they just moved jurisdiction so they couldn't be sued? I wouldn't be surprised to find out that they d

I share you views. Making a web app is easier for the developer: just one platform to support, no restrictions on implementation, etc. But a desktop app is nicer for the users (the ones we're supposed to care about, right?). In the ver

Legacy is a drag on any system. It has to be supported for those who followed best practices but not for those who followed worst practices. Don't hold progress back for them.

It's just propaganda. Their job is easier when they can manipulate people into incriminating themselves. Of course they want to scare people out of coming with a lawyer. Just always remember: with a lawyer you can get away scott free even

Ars' posts are exactly the kind of thing that should be downvoted into the stone age. It's horrible, naive and (worst of all) dangerous advice. Anyone listening to this clown could end up in prison. Personally, if I had powers here

Every post you've made in this thread is absolutely appallingly bad and naive advice. I hope no poor soul believes this uninformed nonsense you've written here and gets their life ruined because of it. I don't mean to have this kind of at

What you say is true for practicality. But ad hominem is still invalid. You are ignoring the other persons argument (as a means of saving time), not countering it.
