That is what people in the info security said.

The virus are too dynamic for the antivirus be an effiecient way to block then, plus the user will fell overconfident with an antivirus, and will engage in risky behavior, unlike the situation without antivirus.

Humans are constantly striving to become better idiots.  Unfortunately the safety net of antivirus software doesn't help these improved idiots, it enables them to do more stupid stuff. Stupidity should be more painful than it currently is.

To admit a mistake would be equal to admitting that you're not fit for the job you've been elected for or appointed to, and are taking someone else's place who would do the work better.

You honestly believe that?  Well actually that might be true.  Obama got elected, I believe, to people who thought he could produce rainbows and unicorns.  To those same people an admission that a politician has made a judgement mistake would be grounds for dismissal then?  If Americans are that messed up then we might as well open up the silos and nuke ourselves and replace humanity with a better species.

If you can't admit you made a judgement mistake, you can never admit you learned from it.  People don't typically learn much from successes.

This is not a matter of whether I believe this or not, and to what degree. It is a given fact. People usually try to blame anything or anyone but themselves for their wrongs or wrongdoings. Any yes, if you don't admit a mistake, you won't be able to learn from it, but this would inevitably pose you to a question if you're fit for the job you've taken up. And people around you would obviously ask the same question.

So then playing into the American idiot, since no members of Obama's administration (and few of Bush's) have admitted to making mistakes does that mean the American people see them as fit for the job?  Given Congress has less than a 15% approval rating obviously Congress' "lack of mistakes" is not preventing them from being disliked?

Not admitting to mistakes can only help them, but not necessarily hurt them?

If they don't admit to mistakes, this doesn't in the least mean that they don't make them! Wink

So, when shrinking from admitting mistakes, they choose the lesser of the two evils, hoping that their mistakes will either go off unnoticed or get buried under the piles of demagoguery and the torrents of lies.

Like I said if that's the kind of people leading this country and other countries it's probably about time that we launch the nukes and cancel ourselves off the Earth - we can only go downward from here.

The last thing i am is an Eric Holder fan, but im 99% sure he wakes up everyday proud not being compared to "murder" Reno.

Isnt she scaring children for a living these days?

Janet Reno made a mistake and admitted to it.

Holder lets so much crap slide by.  Couldn't you say he had the blood of border agents on his hands with the gun running?

Name me one official cabinet member that Obama appointed that admitted to making a mistake.  Not even committing a crime - just making a mistake that we as humans make.  I'm a physician and I admit I make mistakes all time time - most of them fortunately are stupidly little clerical mistakes and not mistakes that effect my patients.  Just today I called myself stupid in front of the nurses.

Susan Rice is the perfect example of how proud this administration is - both sides agree she was wrong when she parroted the video message on the weekend talk shows.  Republicans say she did it intentionally.  Democrats say that's the best intel we had, until CIA said otherwise.  At no time since the CIA press release did she say she made a judgement mistake.  It's not criminal to make mistakes usually - certainly not for opening your mouth on a Sunday morning show.

Even Bush - I haven't heard him say that in retrospect Iraq was a bad move.  I don't think politicians will ever admit to mistakes - especially the bad ones.  It's how Obama can go around and give himself a grade of A- at the end of his first term  Cheesy  The only thing he would get an A- for is press puppet mastery - had he "enchanted" Fox he would have been an A+!

1048  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Cloud mining difficulty on: July 29, 2014, 10:32:15 AM
The short answer is don't buy a cloud mining contract.

As difficulty goes up your revenue per day will go down. The difficulty has been increasing by  roughly 20% every 12 days or so. This means that after just a few months your revenue will be almost nothing on a contract that lasts years.

I personally don't see a cloud company yet as a viable option with current options Ive looked into.  But 20 percent also has not been true on last changes.  I have heard experts talk about difficulty and it's pretty varying on what they think will happen.    The 20 can't go on forever, I hope it's done for now.  but only time will tell.  But last few have been much better then the old standard of 20.

The difficulty can't keep increasing 20% exponentially forever IMO.
We have incredible improvement in miner efficiency for the past 2 years (from GPU to early ASIC to new efficient ASIC), but the newest ASIC is already in 28nm. I don't believe it will keep improving in that insane speed honestly. Smiley

No the growth can't continue to grow at 20% - it will plateua just like it did with GPUs.  At that time, only the people with very cheap electricity will be mining, however, as everybody else would be operating in the red.

Thank you, guys for informative and kind replies!
Yes, it was pretty big investment, but I`ve got a good feeling about it!

Hope you get the return you are expecting.
If you dont know what you need for setting it up, please tell me that u calculated how much power you need for that.
You dont want to burn your instalations down by overloading them..

Thank you for support!. The point of my question was how do I merge all the power of S3s into my own pool and start mining solo. Or join somebody`s pool with my "sub-pool". I can solve the problem with wall power and PSUs . I`m certificated computer technican and system administrator ;-)

Hope you are also a electrician with that amount.  Make sure you have the power for all of this, and breakers to support your many miners.
Thanks! I think I can manage electrician`s problem. I would like to focus on network questions, for example, how about this 26-port switch?
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/switches/sg300-28mp-28-port-gigabit-max-poe-managed-switch/model.html

A managed switch is overkill (waste of money).  You also don't need gigabit since even 10/100 will do, but most switches are Gigabit nowadays.  I would get a 32 port one or if you don't mind segmentation 2 16s or 2 24s might actually be cheaper and allow you to spread the miners out into 2 stacks.

Bitcoin Core is so fucking slow that I have to stop it, and restart it in order to get a decent sync speed again. Anyone gets this?

You need a better computer and memory.
Other than the purchase of new hardware, OP could try downloading a torrent of the blockchain.  Additionally, kingama offered up a good suggestion for speeding up the transaction synchronization process.

People actually sell current copies of the blockchain on a USB drive in the marketplace section.  There are some areas where internet data costs a premium - it might be worth it to just buy it.  Alternatively you can download a torrent and check the hash for security.
1051  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: I have to start-stop bitcoin core because it gets stuck on: July 29, 2014, 10:16:46 AM
In regards to bandwidth, you can limit the number of peers your node connects to with -maxconnections and monitor the situation with your firewall or router. I'm not sure how many connections 250gb a month would support but someone else may know. I don't just say use Multibit or Electrum because it is important for the security of the network that people run Bitcoin Core.

250GB upstream is not enough to support running a node unfortunately, at least not full time.  I think the last I heard people were running about 1 to 1.6 TB a month in upstream when running a node.  Even if I taper the # of connections my bandwidth is still wide enough to exceed 250GB easily, so I would either have to hard limit it or just intermittently turn it off - maybe run it 15 days a month.

If people can support running QT I would encourage them to do so since it helps the whole community.

Another ignorant post that confuses, religion, country customs and different currents maybe you should learn about the conflict between Shiites and Sunnites before posting a sensationalist title like this one....
Also murderers don't need religion to kill they just uses it as an excuse, and the prove is that murders happen with or without religion.

Did you even read the article? Ahmadis.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ahmadiyya

Shiites?  Sunnites?  where?  Oh you mean ALL sectarian violence  Roll Eyes

No murderers don't need religion to kill.  These were religious people who used murder as an excuse for solving their conflicts.  You have it backwards.

By the way you won't find too many Hindus, Buddhists and Taoists killing others in the name of their faith.

Or XXI Century Christians, even if we need to keep them at quarantine, because a couple of centuries ago they match Islam 1-on-1.
But it will be a strawman generalization about Islam in the day Muslims themselves come out speaking against their own religion violence, and we never saw anything of such, did we? We saw some demonstrations, but their demonstrations are more violent than violence - and usually goes around "look at the violent Israelis", "look at the violent US", never about their own violence!
So we have 20% "fanatics" and the other 80% is either def and mute or silently supporting those 20%.

You promote learning and education for both males and females and you catch a bullet to the head in Pakistan.  Unfortunately it's kind of a vicious circle, the people elect bad government, said government enforces bad policies, bad policies lead to bad people.

How many of us Americans are on here saying don't judge us Americans because our retarded government no longer represents us?  But for the most part in this country you can still demonstrate (after you get denied the permit 40x by city hall) without getting your head blown off - same sadly cannot be said for Pakistan.
