All of this wouldn't have happened if Snowden had remain anonymous.

If it was still economical, yes I would pay the increased electricity bill if I felt it was worth it... but it's not.

I think everyone is different.
For me when I watch something 3D my attitude can take it as 2 separate images or if I work at it I can sometimes change my attitude to get it to go 3D. Some scenes with certain depth attributes help. It's not just films, I've had the problem with just stereoscopic images. It makes the head hurt trying to make it work.

This movement is another problem again. I think one can learn it but probably there might be a situation where kids learn it no worries and can do it really well and us old folk are always a bit slow with it.

How's about an old transflective screen like we used to have on the old nokias??

re: waste.
That's a fair point. The people are being paid to secure the network. It's inefficient use of resources of course. There have been subsequent designs, one working on "Proof of stake"(?) another that votes by IP (so anyone with lots of IPs is more powerful).

To the thread in general: There was no disruption to MtGox AFAIK. The Instawallet is the 2nd online wallet to be hacked - not many people use online wallets after the first one got hacked.

2 factor auth is available for many of the exchanges.

I totally know what you are talking about here. In times of great stress the thinking part of the brain shuts off (adrenaline) and as you speak your mind can blurt out what you are thinking about - which is usually about bombs or "oh crap did I pack these bags? do I know what's in them - how can I? someone could have slipped drugs in there" -becomes- "drugs"

Similar to the young hopeless guy who says totally the wrong thing with tits in his face.

Fullscreen firefox and change the fullscreen hotkey. That's enough for me :-)

In Argentina most people do this. They have to. We are going into the same situation that they went into so we will soon have to do this too.

Soon it will be people who hide cash under the mattress, the wealthy and the homeless.

What happened in Argentina after falling was that police started to feel sorry for people. Everybody knows we're all desperate. Nobody talks about it unless over some wine with some friends and even then not so openly. There was a social change whereby people don't like it but they turn a blind eye because they know it's about survival.

The USA will turn that corner if Europe tanks enough to spread bank failure to the USA and this is seen as a given.

However, in the interim both the status quo, the police and the sheeple will continue acting like the old ways.

So be prepared. And don't send your address to Mt.Gox!

I agree. Better to lease the CPU time to a local university or anyone else who wishes to pay - is there a market for this out there? I'm sure I remember hearing out this somewhere.

Definate kudos for the idea. This inspires the leasing out to a University or similar who might be able to bee more green as a result and then you are lining up on that green goal... assuming making such processing available isn't like roads and actually encourages growth.

I agree. It's exactly where the linux desktop improvements need to be - doing the desktop in the linux way rather than copying.

I'd like to see more drag and drop linking to programs; edit those pix, imagemagick those pics into a flow of processing and so on.

The copy and paste improvement is good. Seeing the pics is good. The eye candy... meh. Possibly that's what put a lot of people of reading the article and we only have a few comments. I admit I usually skip anything from Enlightenment.

I'll keep an eye out for a separate package but otherwise I guess I might install side by side with XFCE, use XFCE and this as terminal.

Is there anything out there marked specifically for people wishing to migrate and help backup all their data from GMail to something else?

There are alternatives but Gmail works really well. I search for something on-a-par.

Schedule flight mode. Schedule email and SMS checking.

Why won't /. let me post smartass short replies? :p

Thanks that's a useful explanation regards battery and costs

        - I was wondering why they're getting a year out of it rather than a month I get from my rooted eink Nook!

Still handy for yachting though.... until we get to diagrams I presume...

It's a good question.
I wonder... how did it work before Google?

I remember people used to use Geocities a lot because it was free. Other than that a lot of people used to make webpages just for fun and enjoyment of sharing something with the world. In the very early days I don't remember there being a lot of ads, not on the bullitin boards either.

Probably not the popular answer!
