I'm really wondering why the author of bitcoin would hide their identity? Don't want the attention? Plenty of innovative people are simply footnotes in history. Or is the true origin of this digital currency a dubious agency, who

Ha, the 'good' ol' forced confession speeches. Reminds me of some interesting stories of American POWs in North Korea a few decades ago.

It's been established it didn't work, don't try to convince me. The 'awesome' part I was mentionning was the capacity for people to believe some less than rational assertions.

Why don't you have access to your customer's source code? Is this done through decompiling Java Bytecode? What kind of modifications are we talking about (cosmetic, functionality)? Really really curious about your feedback!

I find it baffling that you had to do this in the absolute last minute? At best it shows poor planning? At worst a 'I-am-heroic-startup-1-person-army' which burns out so many poor souls. Pardon me if this is incorrect.

I think more to the point, blame Joel Spolsky: http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/Unicode.html He made it easier to understand unicode!

Makes sense to me, why the downvotes? Maybe missing some references to back up his claim?

That being said, we can clearly not conclude that 'content is king', right? If 'Meta' profile information biases submissions negatively? As mentionned earlier, I am not complaining simply stating a fact. As for YCOMT, it

It did raise some issues I was not aware of, for example Canada is one of the most sued countries. Also, some pending cases and the arbitration involved is quite appalling. I don't think it is unbiased, but it certainly does shed some

Here is a documentary which could shed more light on the issues Non-US countries face with TPP: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j0LOwmwgkdA I researched some of the issues they mention, and so far the film makes some excell

Hey, isn't there a refugee Crysis in Europe? How about filling up these ghost towns with actual people in dire need of shelter and other basic necessities?

This is cool, and can potentially enhance some presentations. However, what I like less is the fact then that this type of thing is peppered any which way on a bunch of pages and ends up making the reading experience less than enjoyable ...

Shouldn't this be mandatory and be part of the overall safety audition of the car? They have physical crash tests of cars to assess the robustness that match certain criteria.

Dude, at least pretend to comment on the content and as a side note, comment on the form. How would you feel if someone commented that way on a matter you wrote about concerning an issue you consider important?

Curiously, I read that comment as saying: Silicon Valley is too preoccupied with short term profits to be able to concentrate for a long time and come up with such 'tangible' and actual benefits in the domain of transportation. Th

Curiously though I always thought the show portrayed the US protagonists in a less than flattering light. I can't speak of the biggottery the 'hackers' mention ... but clearly (to me at least) the decisions made by the agents
