Integrated audio is going to be a dealbreaker for me. If I can't use my own high-quality headphones I will not use an Oculus.

It's partly, or even mostly, a problem of trust. Back in the wild days of the internet you just couldn't trust a website to have a lot of control over your computer. You could argue that this is no longer the case since we're

Excellent article, and I feel it also applies to me, so I wrote down some thoughts. maqr's comment about this being dangerously close to social engineering rings very true, although I doubt that it's intentional/by choice. Pe

No actually, I meant the MtGox source code that deals with transactions. The malleability issue was known long before MtGox announced the exploit. It's possible that MtGox initially handled transactions correctly, but later introduced

Another great reason to assume ignorance rather than malice.

Assuming that MtGox (let's say MtGox, not Mark) did indeed introduce transaction malleability as a feature, that should be very easy to prove with source control commit logs. But if the malleability vulnerability was already there to b

To up the conspiracy theories a bit, do you think it's at all possible that someone skilled in programming and cryptography, well-versed in English and with a priority for keeping his identity secret, just might attempt to obfuscate hi

I just realized this is quite smart. Point for you.

This is just passively-aggressively implying that dark matter developers aren't bad because they're inferior at coding, they're bad because they're inferior at being social. Maybe I don't need to go to every Django

I agree with you completely. But in the meantime, mainstream media have started picking the story (omg shocking), which will surely have an effect on the price of Bitcoins. I wonder if the authors are planning to take advantage of this.

I wonder if it ever becomes viable to try to brute-force the private key of such a valuable address, rather than devoting the brute force power to mining. Edit: got curious and found an answer: http://bitcoin.stackexchange.com&#x

Would be cool if this had an at-a-glance view with incrementing counters for each company on a single screen, updating proportionally to their revenue.

Offtopic but I have to mention it: this is one of the worst mobile experiences I've ever had. The text after initial load is too small, and when you try to zoom in it blurs the text until it finally loads, which on a crappy internet c

I can't see this posing a serious threat to Bitcoin. If I understand this correctly the idea relies on mining a block and keeping it secret so that the selfish miners can start mining on the next coin. But they can't change the pr

That's scary, but it sounds like something that could actually work. Very good.

Are "extremely privileged" people not allowed to "escape"?

Another example of this that I love is that you can build logic gates in Transport Tycoon (well, OpenTTD) using trains and rail signals: http://www.tt-forums.net/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=37902 .

Interesting. I had a very similar initial experience [1]. I got sick from Half Life 2 the first two times playing it, but the third time I managed to do a 40-minute session without feeling any serious nausea. It's definitely something

Leaving your desk and going for a stroll (outside or inside) is great for mental peace. Standing in a long queue with a horde of other people for 15 minutes is not. This is an elegant solution to the problem :) (Disclaimer: I am a Potato.)

People would probably only use wtf if the language did something that they didn't expect of it, regardless of how wtf the language actually is. This just shows that Python programmers programming in Python use WTF x times and Java prog

So far Microsoft is doing everything right with Outlook. If I didn't already have a gmail address I would easily prefer Outlook over gmail.

Not bad. I always look at the Dokkodo to motivate myself: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dokk%C5%8Dd%C5%8D . I sense some similarities.

I'm not sure who this is targeting. As a (very) small-scale user of S3 I hardly pay anything per month and would not even consider switching. Large companies on the other hand need to have the reliability and security of a big name beh

This would seem like the perfect tactic if the software also has a quiet phone-home system built in that contacts the author if the file checksums don't match. I bet you could get interesting statistics on how many people would try thi

This is quite neat. Btw, this breaks with the Https everywhere extension.
