Comment Re:I donâ(TM)t know how either. (Score 3, Insightful) 189

Iâ(TM)m not slow. Indeed itâ(TM)s not a useful skill for one in a million people to have. So how does one do this?

you are correct:
This is a skill the majority of computer users do not need, and thus don't know how...

There is the concept of covering your tracks carefully, however, if planning on commission of a crime. My suggestion on "how to" is to simply buy acrobat professional for a few hundred dollars (if it's even available stand alone anymore?) if you're not computer savvy, this way you can edit PDFs to you hearts delight. This is an idea that simply googling "editing PDFs" would turn up, so... yeah, the guy that got busted didn't even do basic due diligence.

Comment Re:Good. I could finally buy a new graphics card (Score 1) 276

I've read about people being ready to jump on the eBay cards that will be hitting the auctions as a result, but I'm not willing to trust cards that have probably been run at max OC with bad fans for months on end.

if the price is right, buy a couple from different sellers and play the numbers game.

Caveat: I suppose one strategy would be for the doublespender to briefly buy every coin in existence (borrow some money to do it then sell the coins to pay back the borrowed money). then they could continually reset the chain back to that time when they owned it all.

which would instantly collapse the trust in the market for that coin and it would be insta-dead.

as an aside, platinum would still have a high value in that situation (not in the story, but if this were a real scenario) because of the following properties:
    * noble metal: acid and corrosion resistance are very high, good for containers and plating
    * alloy metal: when alloyed with iron it produces an exceptional alloy suitable for canon/gun barrels and knives.
    * electrical properties: excellent conductor, excellent high temperature performance
    * catalytic properties: petrochemical, synthetic, and organic chemistry all have pt catalysts.

shit happens; glad we're able to be adults about it and frankly given the standard issue troll I can agree with your initial assessment :P

I'm not on twitter, barely FB (remote family and former co-workers make up the bulk of my friends), I think I made a linked-in profile once...
And I avoid the mainstream news because I'm prone to anxiety/depression and talk radio/news is one sure fire way to make it worse.

ironically /. is one of my main social media outlets.
