To extend the (simplistic) Berkshire Hathaway analogy, why couldn't Warren Buffet change the structure to shareholder voting? If he did, why couldn't the shareholders then vote to change the structure to something else. That wou

I see how his agent sharing the contents of the envelope hurt Goethe's attempt to gather intel for future auctions, but the outcome of the sealed envelope auction was unchanged, or am I misunderstanding? Goethe had 1000 talers as his

A lot of people are criticizing Guillory for waiting until the deal was announced to come forward. Whether or not this is true (it is disputed in the two opposing briefs), one can hardly fault him for not wanting to spend time, money, and

As someone mentioned above, they publish a gpg key for sending this data. As for fake IDs, yes, it is certainly possible to create them. But when it is so much easier to socially engineer your way into another service like Namecheap, it cr

Assuming it is a 4 digit numeric passcode, that's only 10,000 possible combinations. At 80ms each (let's round up to 100ms to be conservative) that's only ~17 minutes. Even if it is a 6 digit pin we're only talking abo
