No, it won't. They may say that, but it's not true.

Know what archivists do when they get given something to archive that's on thermal paper?

The usually tranquil and relaxed archivist goes batshit insane, cursing hell and heaven for about half an hour, trying to summon demons or angels to smite the retarded fuckup who tasked him with this idiocy.

After that fails he calmly walks over to the copier, makes a paper copy, files that and throws the thermal paper original away.

When his workday is over he walks into the nearest bar and drinks himself into a stupor while loudly and slurredly complaining about the mere existence of thermal paper.

Nah, this thread is going places. It should go to Politics & Society next.

Can I have a bastard copy of Nuggets Spots called Noodles? TIA.

Aaaand then he's back a minute later, so?  Bans are as unwieldy as they are ineffective as a punitive measure.

I should ask more retarded questions if it results in more picture drawing.  

How exactly is a ban going to help?

Ah, ok. I misremembered. It's the age creeping up on me.

People happily sent USD into Bitfloor after it was 'hacked'. Twice.

BTW, has anyone IP checked where Karpeles is logging in from lately? Because he's still reading these forums, though he has not spoken since the beginning of June.

I say Cuban IP.

Damn you and your Russian hacker monkeys. 

Wait what? Dude, no. This is a comedy goldmine of unprecedented depth. You don't just lock an opportunity like this up and throw away the key, this thing is gonna give for weeks. Hell, I'm building an ASIC to mine LOLcoin from this thread right now and I expect to have it done in about two weeks.

Do you now? 

 

Well, for one doxxing is only the summarizing of publically available information. The information is out there. In fact you put it out there specifically for people to access. It's a bit like complaining that people can see your dingaling dangling when you dance in front of your uncurtained window naked.

Now if I went ahead and began rifling through your personal information that is only visible to you (for instance by taking over/entering your accounts) or a trusted third party, where I'm not the third party, this would be another matter indeed. For one it's a crime in virtually every jurisdiction and I'm sure would also be handled as such on the forums.

The same would apply if for instance you sent personal information (i.e. your passport) to a business partner and this partner would then release that information publically. This would be in breach of data protection laws virtually everywhere and I'm sure would be treated as such here.

Fake edit: Aaaaand Salty beat me on most of this.

Well, you'll need a virtually inexhaustible free power supply anyways for the whole wormhole thing. For raw materials you just shovel sand and crap in there. Grab an asteroid or two if you absolutely need some specific elements.

I'm getting BFL flashbacks when I hear the word preorder.   

1) This should have been stickied.

2) The trezor isn't available yet.

Oh god, now you just went ahead and reinforced all the stereotypes. 

Yeah, I totally agree, Mr. Carries-around-paid-advertisements-in-his-signature-for-BTC. One totally shouldn't whore oneself out for BTC.

Yes, but who parks the plane?  

Your attempt to protect scammers has been noted and added to your personal file.

Not if we have a Molecular Assembler, there won't be. And I'm reasonably sure we'll get that before FTL.
