I assume they would probably still _attempt_ to limit the amount of total liquid. But the idea that terrorists can bypass a chemical bomb detector but not figure out a way around the amount of liquid limit is laughable.

Not necessary. The TSA already gave a better alternative. FTFV: They can put the liquid in several smaller bottles and then let him through with it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0m12mLXgO1A&t=11m10s

Explaining how he's wrong on both points would be very useful.

Just FYI, they tested the liquid in question for explosives and of course it turned up negative (as can be seen near the end of the video). Would requiring a doctor's note or more explanation really make any of us safer. I'm sure the terr

Disagree. There isn't and shouldn't be any hard fast rule for this. Same as most things in programming. Do what makes sense. Also, [0-9.] not [0-9\.]

And where do you get your Bitcoin address from? Options are: from the official client (many reasons for and against running it), one of the other hosted or local Bitcoin wallets, or Coinbase. Coinbase is an attractive option as it's extre

A VPN that shares IPs between many users won't have that issue. You'll have hundreds of users using an IP at the same time as well as thousands over the period of a day.

Even with all these tools the oldest form of tracking will still work perfectly, your IP address. Use a VPN as well as these tools if you really take your privacy seriously.

The majority of legitimate people running Bitcoin related services are of a very fringe type. It will probably remain this way for a while. This is because there is so much risk involved. Not just risk of currency or business failure, bu

This isn't entirely related but I'd be interested if anyone knows the tax implications of _spending_ bitcoins. What happens if you receive bitcoins when they're worth 10 USD and then spend them when they're worth 20 USD. What tax rules ap

This "educational" campaign isn't due to laws or regulations but to some corporate agreements. So VPN is a solution. Also some VPN providers provide SOCKS proxies as well so you can selectively proxy your traffic. Also 50-100ms is pretty

One aspect that is probably being confounded here is that hair plays a huge role in attractiveness. By putting on a hijab and hiding her hair this girls attractiveness (at least by western standards) probably went down a bunch of points.

Correct, it would only block legit transactions. This is one of the proposed solutions. Basically centralize bitcoin by somehow whitelisting good blocks or blacklisting bad ones. The problem is this would require a change to _all_ bitcoin

I believe the way longest chain is determined is the sum of the difficulty of all the blocks. This basically boils down to just the chain with the most cpu power that went into it. So as long as you control the majority of the cpu power,

Ok I'll bite and explain it. You're right, sometimes someone else will find a block before you and will add it onto the longest existing chain. IF you always appended your bad blocks to the longest chain then the blockchain would look some

by hnolable 14y ago
You're thinking of the wrong scenario. If you have 51% of the power you start mining a new block off the latest legit block but you include 0 or no "real" transactions in it. After you find one, you only compute new blocks off of _your_ "

Equating the due diligence Ecuador _supposedly_ did before making the decision to grant asylum with "a poll" is unfair. Honestly many of your responses to comments on this thread seem very unfair. And I'm not talking about the content of t
