Yeah, suggestion, instead of pussyfooting around (whether you mean to or not), use concrete language about privacy. Yeah, yeah, I don't 'plan' to sell any of my user data either, but nobody (especially the law) cares about my wishy-washy 'p

Maybe the ideal solution would involve specifying all times in two timezones (local and GMT), side-by-side? Practically, I'm now interested in adding something like a <time> HTML tag that would let users decide how they want to see

I'm really interested to see if bitcoin will survive the law. I'm not a lawyer, but my understanding is that creating an alternate currency is strictly illegal. Maybe this is the first indication of the end of bitcoin? (Edit: This is incorr

I can certainly understand not wanting to abandon a project simply because somebody was lax on responding, but with something like this (large amounts of customer money involved (60,858 BTC), legal issues), he really put a lot at risk here.

No, read my paragraph, I'm aware of the registry and it is lacking. Package management is nowhere near 'only necessary if apps share dependencies'. Compare: 1) Search google for software. 2) Search software website for download link. 3) Dow
