How do you think courts restructure debts when a grain elevator goes bankrupt? There is literally nothing new here. This is shit that Hammurabi figured out.

Now that MtGox is dead, Coinbase will assume their mantle. Not as the pre-eminent exchange, but as the most fucked up exchange. They'll gladly lock up your money, cancel trades weeks after the fact, and make trades at prices you didn't agree to. I expect regulators will shut them down at some point this year (criminal charges are also possible) -- I hope your money isn't anywhere near them when it happens.

... or covered in shit.

Do you still trust bitcoin? Do you still beat your wife? Bitcoin is just like 7 Up. Never had it, never will. I prefer the Real Thing.

#fuckbeta What they need are some macro buttons for posts. I mean, 50-75% of comments are unoriginal garbage, so why not have buttons to autopost "hot grits", "micro$soft $sucks", "netcraft confirms it", "/etc/hosts troll", etc posts. Fuck it, I'll create a greasemonkey extension if they don't.

Also, there's a problem with one of their css rules that causes weird font issues in some posts ("font: Helvetica, san serif" is missing the comma so it can't find the "Helvetica san serif" font and drops back to the default serif font. d'oh)

i shoved a greased up yoda doll in my slashdot beta. Is it good or is it whack?

I've been coming here less and less because the stories are no longer interesting. A shitty redesign might be the final nail in the coffin. Pick a couple subreddits you like and enjoy.

100% agreement. For example, RCS works perfectly fine. Why anyone wasted their time developing svn, hg, or git is a mystery to me.

How can Kim Kardashian's ass be 100 times more popular than Rosie O'Donnell's ass?

All your numbers are revenue and there's not one mention of the bandwidth expenses.

Google bought Motorola Mobility. Motorola Mobility is not Motorola. Google also sold off some parts of Motorola Mobility. Lenevo gets the cell phone business. Full stop.

I think trollaxor has the full story on his site. the short version is, Bendover.net (or maybe it was VA Lunix?) were going to have a contest and gave away the /. PT Cruiser. There was an incident at the geek compound, the car was impounded, the contest was canceled. For a while, anyone posted about it was hit with bitchslap.pl.

Pre-Teen? I thought it was Potty Trained. Though, when I interned at the geek compound, piss/shit play seemed to be pretty popular.

lol. The committe members later admitted they had jungle fever and only gave it to him so he would visit.

They also gave one to Yasser Arafat.
