It's a big task to read the entire source code in one go. Reading source code "in the abstract" is hard work.
Why not pick some aspect that particularly interests you. For example: coin allocation, or the user interface for the address book, or block discouragement, or whatever. Then explore that part of the code.
Better still, find a change you'd be interested in making. That forces you to get to grips with that part of the code.
Oh, and have you even compiled the source code yourself? That's the first step, and it can be an interesting and educational experience in itself (especially on Fedora or Red Hat where you'll need to overcome some dependencies). Even if you don't plan to make any software changes, the building the application will help you become familiar with its files.
Let's just say I come up with goals too big for my own good. I will probably end up settling for something small at the end of this. Yeah, I'll compile it first. That's pretty essential. |

use Doxygen? though it probably depends on how well the code is commented. Generally you start with /src/main.cpp and then follow the execution paths. Alternatively load the project into an IDE that can follow functions, headers, etc. marked Righto. Thanks. I really should try studying the syntax of C++ rather than applying prior knowledge from other languages. >_< |

As Nietzsche wrote, there are two types of morality in this world: The one of the Master and the other of the Slave.
The Master does as he wishes and what makes him happy. He takes responsibility over his life and exerts his will to live happily in everything he does. Due to this, individuals of the Master-morality are likely to live more happy and active lives. The virtues of the Master-morality are independence, strength and personal happiness.
The Slave morality is all morality in general. It revalues what the Master beholds, again, strength and independence. "Good" is not what allows the individual to live as he pleases but to sustain those who refuse or cannot live as they please. Whatever helps the weak is "good". Whatever exemplifies strength and self-responsibility is considered "selfish" and "bad".
In turn, the slave moralities of today turn weakness, inefficiency and ineptitude into virtues. Strength and excellence is frowned upon. Those who wish to excel are brought down and restricted by people stuck in a constant mode of cynicism and pessimism. "Who is going to sustain me when I can't nor want to succeed?"
Thus equality is then beholden: The idea of somebody rising up on their own with no restrictions is sickening to the man who cannot or does not want to do so. The strong must be kept down for the sake of the weak.
The question is: Are you a Slave to the whims of others or are you a Master of your own life?

I'll make it very simple: Who defines an inalienable right? What enforces an inalienable right?

They aren't becoming a problem. They are simply making transaction processing more valuable. When the incentive comes for them to process transactions, will be the day a higher fee is set across the board.
I see no issue. If the problem becomes bad enough, people will talk with their pocketbook.
Although, you could always coerce the miners into giving you free transactions. As for the consequences to Bitcoin as a whole in such a case, I'll leave that to you to figure out.
I don't care what the means are. They have the direct ability and financial incentive to influence the dev team to their whims -- and vice-versa. The 30%+ hash rate is a dangerous majority and needs to be lowered to less than 10%.
I WILL NOT REST UNTIL DEEPBIT IS A SUBJECT TO THE WHIMS OF ALL BITCOIN SHAREHOLDERS.
Bitcoin shareholders, your assets are in the hands of this monstrosity. Do you want that to change?
Join me. Join the cause of getting all miners on P2Pool and away from these power-wielding parents we call pools.
Shut up, Atlas.Spell out the contradiction, friend. |

So you believe morality is objectively defined by 'inalienable rights'?

I wish this was my dog.  |

The idea that rights can be taken away were instilled into me by my public school. We, the students, "signed" away our first and fourth amendment rights. If we were to be outspoken about political topics, such as war or decriminalization, we were told to stop or be punished. Many of my peers lived with this and believe that it is ok for their rights to be taken away if they are "bothering" other people and in many cases strictly state that.
I wish people knew the reality of the situation, the governments are paranoid and will pursue removal of rights through ignorance to ease this paranoia.
Although in the case of the article I believe it was more of a misunderstanding and ignorance. Which is also in very high levels in America.
ELT
The State cannot take away something it has only recognized. The State may grant you privileges (i.e. driving in their cars on their roads) but your Rights are yours by virtue of your Creation. The State can choose to not recognize your Rights, but that does not "take them away" - they are Rights. Failure to recognize your Rights violates them but does not remove them. You say your right to assembly is yours by virtue of creation? Yeah, well, I am terminating it because Obama is 5 miles away. Now, I am going to peacefully put these handcuffs on you and take you downtown. What's that? You decline?  Rights are only yours when you have the might to protect them. Otherwise, you're like the guy above. Rights can be taken away even if you claim they are "inalienable". Guess what? They just got alienated. |

Tell me, in what folder and with what file do I begin? What libraries do I need to know about?
I have never written anything this large -- much less read through it.

What an interesting set of statements. I guess it's good to know your thoughts on the matter.
Your reasons are left undeclared. What a shame.

I am disappointed, cbeast. I thought you would give me some insight. |

"Selfless love would have to mean that you derive no personal pleasure or happiness from the company and the existence of the person you love, and that you are motivated only by self-sacrificial pity for that person’s need of you. I don’t have to point out to you that no one would be flattered by, nor would accept, a concept of that kind. Love is not self-sacrifice, but the most profound assertion of your own needs and values. It is for your own happiness that you need the person you love, and that is the greatest compliment, the greatest tribute you can pay to that person."

notme, I'm mostly with you but the illusive aspects of human relationships aren't as relevant to me. That seems to concern you.
I have accepted that human relationships and related phenomena cannot be fully quantified. Individuals can be, given a proper relationship, haha.
I have no expectation of people either, notme, as I've already stated. My happiness comes from within. That's why I don't reject people in my life.
Love, friendship, respect, admiration are the emotional response of one man to the virtues of another, the spiritual payment given in exchange for the personal, selfish pleasure which one man derives from the virtues of another man’s character. Only a brute or an altruist would claim that the appreciation of another person’s virtues is an act of selflessness, that as far as one’s own selfish interest and pleasure are concerned, it makes no difference whether one deals with a genius or a fool, whether one meets a hero or a thug, whether one marries an ideal woman or a slut.
Anyways, I appreciate the links to literature. I'll certainly enjoy these. Thank you, friend.

Funny thing about art education: No high-ranking company hires individuals from art school, or anyone who plays by a book.
I can't claim to know what this post references, but your statement above is untrue. All high level companies hire art design talent (or contract it via media companies filled with creative types). It is not untrue. High level companies hire art design talent but a good portion of that talent will be self-taught. There is no standard "art education". There is art people enjoy and there is art that people don't. What people enjoy is not easily quantified in a single school. As for your last statement, I hope you are not implying there are just plug-in formulas for design. It's just simply being in tune with the human experience. What the human experience is can be measured but measurements alone can't simply generate what people enjoy. |

I love people because I want to. I love people selfishly with no expectation or sense of entitlement. I am not obligated to serve anyone and nobody is obligated to serve me.
This isn't a bad thing. It's liberation.
One final time: check yourself before you wreck yourself. Seriously, you sound like a recording of me 5 years ago. Maybe I'm wrong. Or maybe I'm right, but I know you won't listen. Either way, I'm done. Good luck. I'll be vulnerable for you: I am seriously considering what you have to say but it ends at an empty wall: What does this man want me to do and why? Is he looking out for my happiness or does he want me to serve his whims? I am already happy, my current ways have developed great bonds and an enjoyable life. If you want me to serve you or your indirect goals, I can only laugh. It seems the alternative you propose is really self-sacrifice: Loving people outside of self-interest. What a terrible life to live, loving and giving to people with no happiness, haha. |

I am going to frank:
Your artwork and designs depress me. They make me feel like I am staring at old flyers advertising 50% off diapers at Walmart, in a waiting area behind the restrooms.
Suddenly, a large obese woman with a Walmart vest walks by with toilet paper on her shoe and a sagging scowl on her face. You can see her old, worn-out panties rising up over her shirt from the back.
That's how your designs make me feel. I can only hope my honest perspective motivates you to create better work.
All you really had to say was "I HATE PASTEL COLORS MAKE THEM VIVID" and they might have given your post some consideration. But the undue and insulting criticism was completely uncalled for and unnecessary. It may of not been. I have a feeling that it makes others feel the same way. When people get the full feeling of what their design produces, they'll understand the reality of the situation. Yes, I could say I hate pastels but what does that mean? Why do I hate pastels? What do I feel when I see a pastel color? Why is the artist incapable of what I feel? Criticism requires specifics capable of stimulating understanding. That's why I decided to be rude and honest. Your characterization of the design this way belies your lack of education of the art and science of industrial design. Oh, I am sure that you could teach a thing or two to Walmart with your business track record. OTOH, talking about obese women's panties is another conversation entirely and best left with your therapist. Funny thing about art education: No high-ranking company hires individuals from art school, or anyone who plays by a book. We have to look at principles: What people enjoy looking at and the feelings they get from said pieces. All else can go fuck itself. Anyways, my intuition tells me you're too personal, cbeast. Being nice all the time will get you nowhere. Speaking your mind will put you with people that respect you for you. |
