Why the fuck do I never have points when it would actually do some good?!?!?

Is there some fucking Slashdot Project Insight that keeps me from having them, when I really want them?

Someone who ACTUALLY HAS POINTS fucking mod this up...

Gotta agree with this.
MOST.

I know it's a fantasy comic book, but Loki put it best:
You people WANT to be RULED.
The sad fact of life in the US, and elsewhere, is this.

take the period off the end of the link and it works

Actually, once you get out of your mom's basement and take some future wife to a hospital with your child, you'll understand that the hospital does NOT have supplies. There is a laundry list of items you need to bring with, or leave her and buy. Leaving her to buy things will NOT be acceptable. Also, his point was more to the "cleanup" process and "40 minutes" to the hospital. If you were doing anything other than talking out your ass, you'd realize it takes quite some time to remove skunk smell from your person. Hours, if not days. I doubt the hospital would let you into the maternity ward smelling strongly of skunk, with x very pregnant women there, who throw up at the smell of a freshly brewed pot of delicious coffee, much less mercaptans. Speaking mostly from experience of having had two kids with a VERY easy-going-pregnancy wife, I am pretty certain that I can say on jackspenn's behalf, her words were something along the line of "HURRY THE FUCK UP AND KILL IT!!! MY WATER JUST BROKE AND WE HAVE A 40 MINUTE FUCKING DRIVE TO THE FUCKING HOSPITAL!!!


Call me once you have the slightest clue...

OK, AC or not, this fucking made me laugh my ass off. TYVM...

No one is saying it's gonna help with 320 GB of raw data. Clearly it will not. Where it might help is with recomputing the 27 different cubes the various business units want. Every day. Open your eyes. No one says this is for everyone. It has targeted uses. 1 use: recomputing compute-heavy cubes. Every Day. With pricing data, I would think your bosses would be sporting particularly large woodies, just dreaming about the realtime info they could be getting, oh, perhaps every hour even? Lots o' opportunity for floating point calcs there, no? Or are they just collecting the data? Hmm, did I just give away a business idea? Screw it. Contact me and throw me .1% when you make it real. Hell , hire me to help you make it real.

Back to the future? Buehler?

I'm admittedly guessing here, but you're basically saying that the only person / group who is able to perform this attack would actually have to be so rich that they wouldn't need to perform this attack?

Or, they might be extremely rich and simply decide to destroy the Bitcoin currency for some personal reason? ( hate, jealousy, lack of control, whatever...)

I think I can live with that. This person/group would then also be able to destabilize most other currencies in the world, possibly even China, US and EU currencies?

I woulda given you a funny if you hadn't posted anon....
