Oh, no. The governments which will borrow more in bitcoin than will be able to pay back, will just default. When Argentina/Russia defaulted on their debts denominated in dollars, how bad was that for the dollar? So... Bad for them (governme

Not exactly, because of the way public addresses and private keys work. Anyone can check that the address 1xGibi... holds the declared amount of bitcoins. Only someone with the knowledge of private key can transfer them to other address. So

I'd say yes. All/almost early adopters are already enlisted so to speak, and most are already stocked with bitcoins. And every hour 300 new bitcoins are mined, I'm still willing to buy some, but I'm a rather late adopter, and, obviously,

The issue is not as much parsing as reading from a lot of different files. As someone else has put it in other thread sequential reading is fast. Random reading from 50+ files which involves seeking the disk is not. Of course the gconf conf

As far as I can tell the official reason for switching from gcong to gsetting is that the new backend is optimized for fast reading of config values. As for the old schema, there were two options separate xml files in a directory per-app an

On that revamped UI question (Unity). Ubuntu was pretty much forced into it, when they became less than enthusiastic about Gnome3 (gnome-shell). A sentiment which I entirely shared. Then, at least.

As long some commodity (X) gains monetary value (demand for X is demand for a medium of exchange) it no longer needs any other value to function. Still I doubt that cans of mackerel have no other use than monetary in prisons. Not many McDon

He also touches on a great point: What we want from a monetary system isn’t to make people holding money rich; we want it to facilitate transactions and make the economy as a whole rich. By that logic the best money will be hot potato

You save one pipe, but at expense of every grep will spawn its own process. So maybe a 1000 grep processes instead of one. But I've saved a pipe.

Withdrawls from MtGox are traceable. It just a payment to an address which has to be known in order to make that payment. So, unless they (MtGox) have lost that address too..

It's entirely free market for an exchange to have its own set of rules and regulation. Yes, for some time MtGox was The Exchange. It seems that it just ended.
