If it's gonna cost X to finish the game and they expect to make more than X from selling the game, then they should finish it. The amount spent to date is irrelevant.

Spamhaus adding their IP address to a list is not 'removing' them from the internet. And what about Spamhaus' freedom to create whatever lists THEY want?

I think you'll find that EVERY three letter acronym already stands for something or other. Don't let that deter you.

I'd be surprised if this didn't play a major role here.

And again, this is yet another problem solved decades ago by RDBMSs.

If it's good enough for Priscilla Zuckerberg (née Chan) it should be good enough for anyone: A ruby engagement ring!

There are still many people holding large amounts of bitcoin (because they mined them in the early days) and just one of them selling everything would cause a pretty large downswing.

When I say 'depression' I mean one of the depressive disorders as per DSM criteria. Major depressive disorder is the only one that has > 50% relapse rate. Most depressed people do not have major depression.

You are wrong, I beat depression. I don't just 'cope' with it, I actually don't feel depressed any more at all. And this is the rule rather than the exception, most people with depression recover just fine.

There's zero chance the white house overlooked anything accidentally here. These responses are VERY carefully crafted and reviewed by dozens of lawyers and other white house staff.

I downloaded the pic of the dog, opened the 'Original' in Paint.net, re-saved it at the same filesize as the JPEGmini version and it's indistinguishable from the other two versions. JPEGmini doesn't seem to do anything that I can't already do in any image editor.

Looks like snake oil to me.

I don't see how this is any different to every site with a 'reset my password' link

Yes, the major bitcoin gambling site SatoshiDice is making loads of money already.

Thought control will come eventually.

I agree. Can't you people see the possibilities here? The opportunities? Can't you just appreciate this amazing new technology without resorting to 'people these days' bullshit arguments?

Sigh.

I don't think so.

> Compromise the site itself & gather information.

Yea good luck with that!

> Catch & turn real sellers.

How would you do that? This seller got caught because he was a buyer too. People only selling on silk road can't be caught unless they do something really really stupid. And even if you do catch a seller what does that get you? Nothing! You're no closer to closing down Silk Road itself.

> Crapflood it with fake buyers/sellers making it less useful.

You can't be a fake buyer. Buyers must pony up the bitcoin up front and so that only helps sellers. Who cares where the actual drugs went, the seller got his money. Fake sellers are quickly caught out because of the reputation system. Buyers already know which sellers are reputable, they'll just keep buying from them. You can't do anything about that.

> Order drugs & gather forensic info from the packages.

This just targets individual sellers and won't do anything to stop Silk Road. Especially if the sellers are overseas.

> Heck, agree to sell someone drugs and actually send them flour + a GPS/camera if you want to go that route.

Yes buyers are vulnerable and always will be on Silk Road. That doesn't stop anyone and you'll usually only bust small time users which is a waste of resources.

>For the most part, just go after the weak human links in the chain and use standard anti-network tactics like turning people into informants and isolating everyone via mistrust.

Informants are useless. No seller can help you take down Silk Road because no seller knows where it's hosted or who is running it.

> Heck, they could just start scamming folks on the site.

Reputation systems stop this. Buyers only buy from reputable sellers.

> With a little imagination, this could be used by the police as a giant honeypot.

I don't see it.

Also: The placebo effect is stronger if the placebo used has side effects. Again this works AGAINST drug companies.

The conversation tennis would be fine if it wasn't so ridiculously inane.

Well let me put it this way:

If the USA kept the gold standard, I seriously doubt they'd be the number 1 economy in 2013.

I used to be an Austrian but it's been almost a century now and it's become clear to me that the Keynesians are actually correct. Even after the GFC things bounced back very quickly. The power to inflate away old debt is too useful to sacrifice.

Here's the thing: Getting rid of pea bargaining will mean every case must go to court. Since the courts are unable to deal with that many cases the prosecutors will be MUCH more selective when deciding which cases to take on. Fewer people will get charged and fewer people will go to jail.

Wouldn't he investigate BEFORE investing in such a dodgy, scammy looking company?

There's no way 'pacman -Ss mp3 | grep rip' and 'pacman -S ripperx' would ever be considered easier than searching in Google and clicking 'install'

People who want to lead are not good leaders.

It's probably a one-man-show...

Ah you're a scientologist - that explains your aversion to psychologists. Scientology is the worst, most evil organization I've ever had contact with. Just disgusting.

You are right, it does seem to be broken :(
