   If I get it correctly (not being an US citizen), they are streaming something that already got over the air for free in one area and streaming it to more areas, right? In that case, the Big Owners are already giving it away for free in New

   I am not sure about namecoins. Nobody is developing namecoin for a year, there are bugs and security holes and tons of weird decisions in the design. I don't know enough about litecoins to say.

   The deflationary nature of bitcoin is by design, yes, but the thing with cryptocurrencies is - if it's somehow unsucessful, people can either ditch the currency and make a new one, or if most of the miners agree by consensu, even change the

   This post is from 1997 (16 years old). I wonder how different would it be today.

   Their definition of "free" is fun though. Try some proxies and simulate visiting the site from different places .... yes, their prices vary based on from where you visit it, so they add the shipping to the basic prices.

   Ummm... I don't get it. What is wrong with caps lock? What if I want to type, let's say, some longer name of a constant that are usually IN_ALL_CAPS_AND_WRITTEN_LIKE_THIS? I don't want to hold shift on all these letters. I LIKE CAPS LOCK AN

   Book Depository getting more popular than Amozon? boom, they buy them. GoodReads having better Google positions for books than Amazon? boom, they buy them. I am personally a little afraid of this monopolistic behaviour. But hey, capitalism,

    I will add I made this as a part of larger Czech Pirate Party campaign that teaches business owners how to play free music and not to pay the copyright monopoly extortion money. But I already like it so much I am putting it here. Also it's

    I think it's the perfect example of "worse is better" approach. Yes, it might not be perfect, but it does well what it says it does, it's quite simple to customize and you just upload it online and you are set. Being nice internally is good

    The giant "historical" answer is new, though. And really worth discussing I think.

    Even if they did wait - if the pathological chain was longer, than 6 blocks, it wouldn't help them much.

    If you cut the crap, does this mean VP8 is safe to use for everyone for free (without royalties to either MPEG-LA or Google) or not?

    Funny thing is, Apache can't even merge the changes back into OpenOffice, because their projects use Apache license, while LibreOffice is (I think) GPL.

    There are TONS of great open fonts available at http://www.google.com/webfonts . The main purpose is for embedding into websites (as obvious from the name), but it is also possible to download the source files directly. I am occasionally

    But what if Bitcoin - and therefore blocks and blockchain - will rise more quickly than the technology?

    by runn1ng 14y ago

    There are too many bitcoin transactions, so the blocks are too big. The miners have to be run with different settings to account for that. I don't know what bitcoin proponents think will happen in the bitcoin future when everyone will be pa

    Yes. As far as I know, that's what happened when Iran started blocking YouTube in Iran and mistakenly blocked it in entire world. Luckily, AFAIK, BGP is trust-based, so things go to normal pretty quickly.

    >by Kim Jung-Bay Of course it's serious. edit: I thought it's a joke... but the traceroute trully ends in North Korea with the 175.45.177.217 IP. So ... maybe it's actualy legit. I don't know what to trust anymore.

    I would say a lot. If you think - why would you use anonymous and basically untracable currency for? Turns out it is used mostly for drugs and anonymous online services. And a little for online casinos.
