I have boiled down the root causes of mental illness to 3 things; feedback and comments/challenges are encouraged.
1) Desire (I'll go with the Buddha on this one)
2) Attempting to control things that are beyond one's control (an offshoot of desire)
3) Identification with a false concept of identity. I will disagree based on your reasons. Brief explanations:
1) Desire: Whenever a person has any type of desire, it implies that they are dissatisfied with what currently 'is.' Dissatisfaction implies discontent and a lack of happiness. If you want something that you don't currently have, this is a problem. Desire originates in the will. It is activated, in the realms in which it is directed, by that which is the motivating force, through the will and the mental abilities of the individual. Desire is the power which drives our physical, our spiritul self, while will is the directing force. It is the intent of mind that strengthens desire. 2) Attempting to control things that are beyond one's control: This is one of the leading causes of anxiety, anger, etc. How often do we define our own happiness according to the actions of other people, communities, governments, girlfriends/boyfriends, husbands/wives, etc.? How often do we become frustrated when our attempts to change these people, communities, governments, etc. fail? This is a symptom not a cause. 3) Identification with a false concept of identity: Who are you? How did you reach that conclusion? According to all 11 definitions of identity in Webster's Dictionary, identity implies stability over time. Yet, how often do we identity/define ourselves conditionally? For example, let's say that someone says, "I am a teacher." Ok, great. Now, if your job is in jeopardy, then your identity is also in jeopardy! Now, in contrast, how many would have answered this question by saying "I am an observer"? For, as long as we live, we observe. This is a logic problem. Invalid logic is still logic. I would think mental illness, except for those with a disease causation, schizophrenia, or those with a spiritual causation, obsession and possession, are mental patterns that are stuck or fixed in position. I believe also, that nutrient deficiencies can lead to or exaserbate mental illness. For those with a nutrient deficiency where mental illness manifests, combinations of specific vitamin/mineral supplementation has been shown to be effective at creating a remission of the mental illness. For those absent of a nutrient deficiency, their is an abnormal mental pattern of functioning, much like an 'addictive personality'. This probably could be seen via a brain wave graph. To place mental illness into remission in this instance requires, meditation, biofeedback, or some form of guided image therapy that will reset the abnormal pattern. This process can take 6 months to 2 years. Drugs and alcohol modify these mental patterns also, but combined with addiction require multi steps to achieve the mental illness remission. True schizophrenia, not a misdiagnosed case of possession or obsession, is a degeneritive disease which progresses over many years. It destroys nerve sheaths and a gold deficiency prevents their regeneration, also, excess spinal fluid entering the brain destroys brain cells. 90%+ of all true schizophrenia can traced back to a traumatic birth. Obsession and possession can be resolved with prayer and exorcism actions. These are non-invasive methods, though those suffering may erroneously complain of death, pain or some form of anguish, and when employed by competent specialists can achieve 100% remission of the mental illness in a short period of time. |

@organofcorti Why do you work so hard to show how bad p2pool is? Do you have a dog in the race?

Installed the new Bitcoin 0.6.3rc1, that took 11 hours to load the blockchain. Now I've been trying to open Armory and it's been loading for a few hours.
I ran some sysstat to get data, is there anything specific you would be interested in?
I have run various ps options, iostat, vmstat, sar (not historical), and top.

OK, now that's clear: what you want is a full dump of the blockchain in graph form.
So, as it is today, the code can't directly generate that, but it'd be a feature super simple
to add to the 'allBalances' callback since the code basically walks that exact graph to generate
the final balances.
That being said, this is going to be a *huge* dump. To get an idea, here's the current
blockchain stats gathered by blockparser:
- 4.407 Million unique addresses received BTC
- the blockchain contains 17.826 Million address spends
In other words, not even taking into account the complex kind of transactions
(send fromMany toMany) your graph would have on the order of 4.5M vertices
and on the order of 18M edges ...
Unless your graph software was optimized to handle very large graphs, you're not
going to get much out of it. Hmm...I guess it might be better to dump as text and then crawl for the specific info needed. I certainly can't load the whole blockchain into the grapher, I don't have a Cray nearby. Another way would be to somehow figure out a way to restrict the graph dump to
a nearby neighborhood of a given address (for example N hops). This sounds a bit more reasonable. Feel free to submit a patch. That means it's somewhat difficult or tedious to implement. I was thrown out of geometry class in highschool, so I didn't take it.
Since when is graph theory taught during geometry classes ? Neither had I computer science. Biology, tables yes, graphing no. |

The vertices are hash160 or, in the case of the pic, base58 bitcoin addresses. How big a vertex appears, like in the pic, is probably determined by number of transactions. The edges are transactions, send and receive, colored by amounts transferred, small amounts grey, large amounts colors.

I wouldn't mind doing something like this:  |

Drug gangs and cartels are propped up, maintained, and removed as needed by People Intelligence Agencies. It is a tool to usurp control from 'We the people'.
There are a few countries who have taken their troops out of the drug war, Peru for one. Drug use statistics remain unchanged, but violent crimes as a result of drug use have dropped sharply. Basically, they have proven that the drug war perpetuates violence.

No way a device with no battery could power a vibrating motor, and no way such a motor could fit into such a thin device and still work effectively. I'm guessing this thing runs on a new design of flat supercapacitor, instead of traditional battery technology.
Could be a piezo speaker, doesn't need to be a motor. With dolphinclick.wav |

My best guess on your issue is that you didn't shutdown cleanly before upgrading. Deleting your databases is one way to recover from that, but users with coin should take care to not delete their wallets in the process.
No I had problems before upgrading, you should check gmail.  |

I experienced a problem with 0.6.2, DB_error. When I noticed this thread I tried it and still received the message below: fatal error occured. Bitcoin can no longer continue safely and will quit.
EXCEPTION: 22DbRunRecoveryException
DbEnv::open: DB_RUNRECOVERY: Fatal error, run database recovery
bitcoin in Runaway exception I did an: $ sudo rm -r .bit(seriously, don't do this)coin Everything is now downloading fine. In hindsight, I probably could've just zipped everything up and set it aside or pass it along to someone that couldv'e poked at it to see why. Is their any way I can 'rm -r .bitcoin' and still have access to all of my coins? Yes, of course their is. 1. Back-up wallet.dat 2. Make a paper back-up 3. Import the keys from another existing offline wallet. |

How do you prevent someone from polling all nearby wallets for balances? Like if you walk into a casino or some futuristic/hacker/mugger?

I wonder if it has a silent (airplane mode) that vibrates when funds are received.

Something not correct is occuring, my auto updater, Ubuntu 11.04 64bit, is asking me to update a language pack, I don't have Firefox, and Firefox isn't present on the entire network.  |

Updated the list. Thanks lueo.

Well, either the file is empty or it's contents are hidden.  |
