Probably nothing, unless they have features that are sufficiently more desirable to the market than what Bitcoin offers?

If by new you mean OpenBSD and Slackware itself since the 90s... I may still have a Walnut Creek CD-ROM version of Slackware (ELF binaries!) with a partial Sunsite/tsx-11 mirror around here.

I live in a country that used to need that. The real reason for doing that is simply not having to write so many useless zeroes. The people who were calling for cutting zeroes were mostly banks having issues dealing with whatever hard-coded

Can we please try not to equate a diplomat's car being followed around a city's public areas with the indiscriminate collection of private communications from every man, woman and child on the planet? Look, my eyes are open. I&#x2

Among different datacenters this is done most often in DNS in order to avoid the increased latency and singe-point-of-failure.

What I understood from the badly-written article is this: the big platform companies will start blocking third-party cookies (where applicable, say Chrome) and replacing it with their own centralized, incompatible, proprietary, wannabe-mono

I don't understand why people think Bitcoin necessarily leads to governments collapsing. Bitcoin can be regulated in many ways: 1. If you buy a house you must show evidence that you earned the money. You can't earn all your Bitcoi

Having a "plain" website can be an advantage depending on your audience. I can say I trust places such as http://prgmr.com/ and http://tarsnap.com/ more than I would trust some "Delightful Xe

False dichotomy. Brazil has been giving "handouts" - desperately needed aid for the poor - and is doing fine. In fact those "handouts" are one of the main reasons why it has been doing ok: they created a market where the

To be fair there was once a mess where e-mail was riddled with issues with charsets, bad MIME implementations, buggy QP-encoded headers and so on. Then there was the spam age. Then the no-client-actually-works age, which is where we are. I

That's very nice, congratulations. Isn't there a way to work around the risk of chargebacks? Requiring an "insurance" deposit and passing charges on to your customers, or holding payment for some amount of time?

Well, I read the PDF and every statement of something based on "training and experience" seemed completely reasonable. What it means is "this is so obvious I shouldn't need to prove it". Maybe this is abused at time

The questions are very simple. Anyone who depends on a blog post to know the answers will fail a slightly different set of questions, not to mention the next interview.

Beyond what other people have mentioned, check out the Syberia games and The Longest Journey which are a bit older. Frogware put out a series of Sherlock Holmes-based adventures as well. And Gemini Rue, The Raven, Resonance and the Runaway

From their wiki, Replicant is really bare-bones at the moment: forget 3D or having your camera work and it will probably need proprietary drivers for the foreseeable future. Also, very few models are supported right now, fewer than Cyanogen

Well, at the very least there's a TXT record for strings. Access control and consistency may both be issues though.

I just watched the TV report. It's interesting. The slides mention as targets: Petrobrás, French diplomacy, SWIFT and Google. Everything pointed towards MITM attacks against VPNs and SSL. There was no reference to what data was stolen.

Built by the people who can't even keep the president's emails safe with the help of US ad networks. Sure that's going to work. The Brazilian government's reaction to all this has been amazingly incompetent even by Brazi

Also, C++, which is the king of mutability, also implements map as a tree instead of a hash table, probably trying to avoid the worst-case linear search.

Well, but in a column-oriented database you would store your time series data in columns. Cassandra is "row-oriented" and you store the time series in rows. In both cases the data ends up sequentially on the disk, which is what yo
