I would never want to speculate, but I speculate that CNN's ratings will be back to their abysmal levels in a few weeks. :)

Note that you can't use hola for anything except the browsers it supports. (As far as I know.) So it's good if you want privacy only in the browser.

I wonder: this kind of malware doesn't require admin permissions, does it?

I think that Microsoft would make more money if those "500 million!" XP users woke up one day, realized their 10-year-old XP tower no turns on, and were forced into buying a newer PC. Problem is, this is not a great time for that.

That was Charlie Munger, but Bitcoin fans tried to pin it on Buffett too, because he is a billionaire and happened to be in the same room as Munger at the time.

Just wondering: why do people here keep spelling his name 'Buffet' rather than 'Buffett'? Is it some form of veiled insult?

Genetics probably has some influence over it, too, if you believe other mice experiments. http://www.nytimes.com/2013/07/19/health/overweight-maybe-yo...

I suppose I can use my limbs to buy illegal drugs. If only they were virtual and could be transferred internationally with little or no fees - all done more easily than sending an email.

"Not involved with Bitcoin" leaves the door open to having been involved with Bitcoin in the past. I wonder if he was trying to deny past involvement with Bitcoin but worded it poorly, or if he was merely being clever in his wordi

I've not used Scala since ~March 2013. I sure hope compilation times have improved since then. That was one of the main reasons I stopped using Scala. Scala is one of the easiest languages to read and write once you master it, but the
