I wonder how agencies can limit the amount of leaks, when their human employees with "secret knowledge" have moral conflict concerning their work and feel that they have nothing to lose. Is it too far away to even think about poss

I'm along your lines. If I happened to have a stash of bitcoins in my pocket, I'd be very careful about actually buying anything with them today, as the next week they would be more and more valuable. So I think the deflation is the main re

If they don't, they still probably have some offshore funds which they can use to hire criminal groups to perform such attacks. Anyway with current information one can only speculate on what just happened in Korea and who was behind it.

If I happen to think that it is funny, who has the right to say that my opinions or the feelings that the "sexist jokes" bring to my brain are wrong? Obviously one should also try to minimize the amount of content that may possibly cause ha

I tend to think that 'Follow your dreams' is a good advice, but at the same time I also realize that I have to work (a non-dream job) to be able to do so! Many probably don't take into account that following one's dreams doesn't come for fr

Wow.. this certainly sounds like a big leap, but I think that this will not succeed during the next 10 years. This would allow an whole army of remotely controlled drones with realtime sensor data and high definition video to operate within

I hate to make this irrelevant Bitcoin related comment.. But out of the places where I have made purchases online, I haven't encountered a single place accepting Bitcoins. Today there's NO Bitcoin, at least for me.
