Meh. This is legalization of use . I mean, yeah, it's a nice step, specially for the US -- a country which still has in its legislation, though void by the constitutional court, the death penalty for possession of fairly big amounts.

Here's my proposal: let's forget exchange rates. Let's not confuse them with inflation [0]. That's a red herring. Exchange rates are important for BTC's legal users now because there's not (yet) production i

Sports are democratic and egalitarian? Tell that to Messi or Lebron James ;) Anyway, that sports and education are so tangled is purely a national oddity of the US, maybe stemming from its tradition of great, and expensive, private universi

Which is a much easier problem to solve. I suppose this web server is in the same LAN, or at least whitelisted, so send the email directly to the institution's SMTP server, which is presumably not an open relay.

Hum. I got a different impression with regards to the FEM graphs of the beams' stresses. Dr. Drang seemed more bothered by the fact that they were there because it was too amateur, and too much pretty graphs for their own sake, since a

Yeah, but this population prone to schizophrenia would have: a) to know they're predisposed to this condition; b) to know that weed would worsen it; c) to believe that this effect on schizophrenia would be bad enough to outweigh smokin

Which is annoying and self-righteous, and laughably wrong, and charmingly unaware that it has exactly zero arguments to support its position -- apart from tone trolling, of course. I facepalmed on just about every paragraph, and I'm no

First, women are just 20% of all AIDS victims. Mind not blown, Mr. Un-PC Dude. Second, that shows a fair degree of missing the point of fiction . Sure, in real life, where everything happens according to cold statistics, promiscuous women

Even if you left the door of your house open, it wouldn't be legal for me to go inside and take your TV in protest. Frankly, you're just torturing some unclearly defined terms ("Information Published on the Web", or &quo

Instead of a timid "disclosures and claims", I think you should have gone for the throat and said "conspiracy theories that are unsupported by any evidence". I mean, 9/11 as a false flag operation is somewhat passé

Quantum computing means breaking Bounded Quantum Polynomial, not NP. Integer factorization is in NP, and also in BQP; but some problems can just as well be in NP and not in BQP. And NP-complete is not a subset of BQP, as far as anyone knows
