In the context of owning a domain, having my legalese registered in the public is precisely what I want. It doesn't even need to add any value over records stored in someone's desk to be a viable option, as long as it can compet

In this context, maybe a closer analogy would be information "ownership". While in a typical database, you can order the change of an entry by fiat, you can't do that on blockchain without the crypto key. Revealing a secret c

I'm not sure about courts, but the government over here will definitely recognize that I owned the coins and that I later stopped owning them - by collecting taxes on the transaction. I have't seen anyone trying to push that on to

That's a lot of words to say nothing in particular. Ownership is an interpretation - I agree with that. It may be an interpretation of the blockchain (Namecoin). It may be an interpretation of the land deed (house). It may be an interp

Duke Nukem 3D was a huge hit. You must be thinking of Duke Nukem Forever, which would have been the fourth game in the main series.

That definition also captures the Steam Deck. And I think it's fine. It exposes that "console" being separate from "general purpose computer" is either an anachronism or a marketing ploy.

Playstation is a PC with extra lockdown. So is Xbox. The Switch is similar hardware to Nvidia Shield, which is just another general computer (it can run Nvidia's version of Ubuntu). So the differentiator these days seems to be running

Are you trying to tell me that Mel, his program, and the ridiculous computer architecture he programmed for are not just apocryphal?!?

I think you need a better argument than that. Is physics patentable? Everything in the real world eventually depends on physics. Yet despite the unpatentability of physics, patents built on physical properties of the world exist as well. Wh

Thankfully, the ghost racer patent is expired by now: https://web.archive.org/web/20210824042808/https://www.gamas... That doesn't make it any more deserving of a patent.

With Signal given as an example, I don't think your conclusion is right. Signal is famous for disallowing federation in the network they own. (I'm guessing that there's no provision for federation in the Signal protocol for t

First off, I'd like to share that writing a diary is amazing for collecting thoughts. There are so many brilliant ideas that flow about but never get written down unless you have easy way to save them. This is what makes me excited now

Don't feel bad. Plastics in the landfill is sequestrated CO2. It's oil that has been dug up, but never burned. While you might argue that we shouldn't have extracted that oil in the first place, plastic packaging is less ener

I find it funny that this is the only answer from someone affected, and it doesn't even attempt to explain what is wrong with the name, even as a snark.

There must be a story behind the rule. Was someone polluting rainwater instad of letting it flow? Filled up a container and let it evaporate?

I think those are two separate problems. When you want to benefit from a process (better staffed project), you don't need to impose technical conditions (make something part of syscalls). While the Linux kernel doesn't publish use

OpenSSL is part of the OS as far as users are concerned. It's right there after installation, in /usr/bin/openssl and in /lib64/libcrypto.so.3. Applications normally just pick it up. And indeed it does not pr

Focal length doesn't do anything to perspective. Perspective is dependent on the location (distance) relative to subject. Different focal lengths will make you want to change your position, to get the entire subject in frame, or, conve

Having heard "fire hazard" from a nvidia fan as a justification for their user-hostile signed firmware (it blocks free drivers from using the cards at full speed), now I think we can put that excuse among the myths. I see no good

I can decide to connect only to trusted hosts. Having an automatic connection breaks that limitation. You ask for a real attack, but you don't seem to accept the example that you were given. I'm not sure what your point is.
