Erm....those fast registers are *ONLY* in the CPU. You do know that right?

Sparks only matter to petrol cars, not batteries. They have enough wrapping to prevent anything small and hot doing anything.

Yep it won't help all 3 of those people in the world.

It will help everyone else.

So you'd consider a debate about things like socialism and other government money topics relevant to this conversation?

I doubt it. This is just about the legal classification of bitcoins, not about how tax money is spent *at all*.

You are mixing two different issues.
If you've ever touched a road, you wouldn't be asking that stupid question.

Discussing government waste is legitimate, but completely off topic.

Of course no one but a church could possibly hope to run charities, food shelves, hospitals and orphanages.

No, I can confirm I've heard similar rationalising.
Everything from getting embarrassed and changing the subject to "That part doesn't apply in today's modern age"

How do you rationalise it to yourself if it isn't the bury your head in the sand technique?

The hacker didn't do the harm though. In this specific instance AT&T did the harm, the 'hacker' just discovered it.

What harm exactly came from him downloading the info?
As opposed to the harm AT&T caused by handing out personal information to anyone who asked nicely?

You clearly have no idea how Bitcoin works.

A wallet is a file. Ever lost a old file on your computer before? And then found it again years later? I know I have.

You think there should be defences for someone codes a SQL injection in this day and age?

Because by penalising the 'attacker', you are creating a defence for it. They are the bad person, we are the victim.
When in reality it is pure incompetence - like leaving the till open and realising a hour later that it is empty.

Now I'm not saying that hacking websites is maliciously is right, but there needs to be a *greater* punishment against whoever allowed it to occur to begin with.
Someone who leaves the till open for an hour certainly will not keep their job for example.

Have you seen newer motherboards? They have 16mb+ of flash for the BIOS.
Oodles of room to do fun stuff in.

No this has little to do with end users. This is a big networks issue.

If your VPN endpoint also saw the hijacked route then you'd equally be stuffed.

The trademark says yellow, not a specific shade.

Probably more accurate to say that you mathematically prove that you have your credentials, but you never actually send them to the server.
