Comment Re: and when the USA bank regs come to bitcoin? (Score -1) 119

Texans will claim state independence. They are already leaving democracy in all walks of life why not economic. Crazy form of apartheid where voter freedoms are limited. Who wants freedom anyhow? O but Iâ(TM)m just crazy thatâ(TM)s it. I laughed at how after last winterâ(TM)s ice storm how certain utilities actually made ridiculous profits selling the supply and demand. Then they actually orchestrated a simultaneous shut down in the spring to artificially raise profits. Look it up . The evil geniusâ(TM)s have also heard that with bit coin they wonâ(TM)t have to concern themselves anymore financially with social issues. Curious how this next generation of tax scam will benefit the super rich.

Comment Re: Teach the controversy! (Score 1) 166

Interesting Lately we have been postulating about the negative effects of teaching debating as a thing in and of itself. Isnâ(TM)t it possible that by re-introducing talking points for students generationally that this practice actually reinforces and lends credence to out of date ideas. At the very least it keeps old ideas familiar, more likely to ring true later when politics and life intersect. The type of topics Iâ(TM)m referring to. and I know itâ(TM)s political. We have debated a womanâ(TM)s right to abortion in schools for generations. Do we now move on to l debate other Womenâ(TM)s rights? say the right to drive or to vote? Should we debate racial equality genocide? Is there a bright side? I could put forth a notion to bring back slavery when the economy drops below a certain point and then I get you to actually debate the economic merits. Eventually we conclude that forced confinement has several positives. Is this what you mean about, âoeteach the controversyâ? Bit coin is imho is wrong. Does a fire start after the match is lit or after the whole building is in flames? Making a few people historically rich to rule over a multitude of ruined masses, shoot me now. Anyone who cares to look past there own greed sees a morally questionable subject in Bitcoin. So why teach collateral positives.

Comment When will this right wing ploy stop. (Score 1) 166

Bitcoin is yet another attempt at a right wing end run around democracy. A kind of trap that will ultimately control us. The the thought of instituting an autonomous system to control our economy is nightmarish. When will people speak out ? Is it that the only people who can understand Bitcoin arenâ(TM)t telling us about the terrible future they are building as long as they can get rich along the way? Stop the hype ! Speak out about this act of sedition. I feel like everyday people are celebrating this amorality as a good thing. Hey and iâ(TM)m an atheist but I long for a time when people could be persuaded not to do what they know to be wrong. Maybe we should just give kids toy atom bombs too.

Submission + - Why is there no talk of Delta or newer based Vaccines (wsj.com) 1

Comment Bit coin is the end of democracy (Score 1) 1

Why are people experimenting with Bitcoin? It is a currency devoid from democracy being promoted by people who donâ(TM)t understand freedom. I am shocked that no-one is SoundIng the alarm. Is it that the only people who understand it are evil with no regard for the greater good? Iâ(TM)m curious to see people experimenting with machine dominance. If bitcoin takes hold we will be the prisoners of our own currency. But isnâ(TM)t that what the right wing want? But what they donâ(TM)t know isâ¦. How are we going to save capitalism every 10 years when it crashes? Why are we trying to do this it will only hurt.

Not really. If they collected Facebook data, they would have to apply their bullshit algorithm to each individual. If you're correct that 16% of Facebook users are not Americans, then they would come up with something like 49% false-foreign results on the remaining 84%, which are Americans, or about 42%. That means their actual percentage of supposed foreigners in Facebook would be something like 58%, which casts a net over many millions of American citizens. And *that* is not only "technically" legal, under the current law it would be "fully legal", and legally defensible. But fucking retarded. They've gone too far.

This is one step away from becoming a watergate like scenario. And surely in the future many watergate like scenarios!

Comment WiFiFoFum (Score 1) 317

Ever tried to set up a wireless network? ppff.. Previously with WiFiFoFum one could see all the relative networks in terms of signal strength an then manually pick a wireless frequency that was as of yet unoccupied. This worked like gold! I'm not an expert but hidden networks aren't really hidden but are just asking to remain hidden as part of a wireless protocol. Apple decided this legitimate network analysis tool broke into people " hidden networks " and banned it overnight. Now we are in this ridiculous state of affairs where none can work properly because somebody once somewhere abused something at least as it was reported to be. If I was a network administrator I would have to have a broken iPhone. The alternative would be stumbling blindly throughout the internet. Caveat I don't own a hacked iPhone but sometimes I wish i did!

Comment Snapshot Buffering in battery backed up ram? (Score 1) 168

To me it seems that AC wins. As long as individual devices have some form of usefull state buffering until the DC/AC inverters kick in to generate more AC. Maybe a mother board could be made where only ram is batery backed up. With huge amounts of ram huge history records could be used to effectively snapshot and propel the computer beyond a power glitch.

Comment Re:Au Contraire (Score 1) 215

It's OK to spend spend spend bailing out banks. Conservatives have set back canadian national debt repayment of debt by 30 years. Bought I forgot only socialist care about national interest. But that's OK cause we really don't want those pesky social programs like retirement benefits but rather we prefer austerity. I remember a time when freedom from government was on the conservative agenda too.
