That isn't an advantage over safe languages - there are examples of safe type systems that allow such operations.

So you compare posting to facebook with murder?!? There's something seriously wrong with you...

For the love of $DEITY how about doing a cursory search before ranting?

Yes it's used. Yes even for space applications. No it have nothing to do with perpetual motion machines...

No. The reason: fat is extremely concentrated nutrition... ~double that of sugar for the same weight.

Perhaps that's because you don't understand the terminology.

Not saying the communist idea is realistic - but for this discussion it needn't be to be relevant.

Nope. There's much less risk trading CC details than there is using those CC for buying things - to buy things one have to take a risk of actually being arrested, to trade numbers one needs essentially no exposure.
N.B. that most people that sells CC details are actually resellers and so have no actual connection with the CC number collection. Buying X numbers and reselling them in smaller lots is almost risk free... Sadly.

How about learning what it is about before giving idiotic opinions?

Eh... most American communists weren't Soviet ideologists. While they probably wanted a dictatorship it would be one of the proletariat. Which mostly equals direct democracy.
And the treatment was not only wrong it was extremely so. Even a rumor that one once associated with someone that was (probably falsely) accused of being a communist was enough to make one unemployable. Witch hunt is the proper term for such behavior.

No he was an active facilitator for _every_ transaction. Claiming that to be the equivalent to an ISP is just showing ignorance in both the silk road and ISP responsibilities.

There are no indications that any murder took place, that the persons (excluding DPR) involved intended to murder someone or even that the person DPR wanted dead ever existed in the first place!
I guess Ross still could be tried for conspiracy to commit murder... The rest of those involved? Maybe tried for fraud.

The most likely explanation was the whole thing was a scheme to extract money from DPR - which succeeded very well.

DPR will have to face another murder-for-hire case later on but there the hitman was LE and there really was a target. Don't you think it's strange if the one we are discussing was secretly an LE operation - an operation there was never any reason to deny involvement with?!? If anything it would strengthen the other case _and_ make the case of the current trial stronger.

Not in this case - given that there's no indication that LE agents was involved at all.

No it doesn't. Even if the transcript is genuine (there are no reasons to think it's not) we only know that someone suggested being a hells angels member.

There's a reason for presenting evidence even though there are no indications that anybody was killed as a result of the logged conversations (and money transfers) and this case not including a conspiracy to commit murder charge - it is to show that the DPR didn't hesitate to use violence to keep control of his criminal enterprise.

As someone strongly critical of the "transhuman" religion I find the "Amor Mundi" blog equally misguided and void of any with or insight.
One example: we have an increasing amount of real world AI capable of real world tasks - that includes self driving cars and (projects for) autonomous UAE. Yes, that's weak AI - not the (idea of) strong AI the singularity people worship. But it's AI.
And still Mr. Carrico claims one shouldn't be afraid of algorithms - but any sane person should!

Any assembly language programmer would disassemble the ROM anyway to learn tricks and locate useful routines. Programming microcomputers at that time was much more hands on than nowadays.
