The UN has already criticized the US drone program in the October interim report “on the use of remotely piloted aircraft in counter-terrorism operations,” authored by Special Rapporteur Ben Emmerson.

The report, the final version of which is due in 2014, argues the number of civilians killed in anti-terrorist drone operations is higher than publicly acknowledged, and condemns the US for lack of transparency over the issue.

"The Special Rapporteur does not accept that considerations of national security justify withholding statistical and basic methodological data of this kind," Emmerson wrote in the report.

Also in October, Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International simultaneously released reports on the use of drones in Yemen and Pakistan, both questioning the legitimacy of the strikes.

“Amnesty International is seriously concerned that these and other strikes have resulted in unlawful killings that may constitute extrajudicial executions or war crimes,” the AI report reads.

“President Obama says the US is doing its utmost to protect civilians from harm in these strikes. Yet in the six cases we examined, at least two were a clear violation of the laws of war,” said Humans Rights Watch Senior Researcher, Letta Tayler.

The US then reacted by saying it did nothing illegal.

"To the extent these reports claim that the US has acted contrary to international law, we would strongly disagree,” said White House spokesman, Jay Carney. "The administration has repeatedly emphasized the extraordinary care that we take to make sure counterterrorism actions are in accordance with all applicable law."

The United States has stepped up drone strikes in Yemen, as part of its crackdown on Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP), believed to be the terrorist network’s main stronghold.

please tell me how I can charge mine back too .

So I have to make five posts and be active for 4 hours?

no I wouldn't consider BTC is whole new world. It is however  a very interesting variation on currency and the decentralised nature of it gives hope its value never being corrupted or perverted as that there will never be a Federal Reserve associated with it.

Signed up to contact a pool owner.
Can't contact him in any other way.
It's so annoying you have to wait for such a long time before I can actually send him a PM.
This stuff also promotes spam, as you must send a minimum of 5 messages, ugh.

She was one of those women who keep on arguing even when they know they're wrong and have been proven to be wrong. Cannot stand it when people do that.

Well, the answer is same for the question : What makes the gold value ? It has no major use, but still people accepted it as a valuable metal. So coins has value because people accept it as a value, and can be generated only with work. The answer for the other question, the difference between the prices are mostly because of the difficulty to gain one, and the popularity of the coin.

anybody knows what MasterCoin is?

Do you have any better reasons than stating your own opinion about account sale being against forum rules or not?

Here are mine.

Is breaking the forum rules against the forum rules? There are clearly stated rules for new accounts - posting limits. By using a bought account these rules are being explicitly circumvented.

Do you remember that bitcointalk was recently hit by a Man-in-the-middle attack and there was a warning on the frontpage about accounts potentially being stollen? And just a few days later there's this slick guy, posting from a new account, selling accounts for bitcoin? What will stop people from thinking that these are stolen accounts on sale? Feel free to call this a conspiracy, but how long will it take till people start throwing accusations, because this starts to look very much like the inputs.io "hack". If mods want to keep the spirits calm, I'd expect them to want to keep the account management process as transparent as possible and kick the speculators out of here. Or not. Up to them, their move.

PS: that thread seems to be deleted already.

Hello everyone,

Yesterday I have bought some Dogecoins via Cryptsy.
I would like to have them for a long term, so I would like to take them offline.
I installed dogecoin-qt and withdrawed all my dogecoins to the address in dogecoin-qt.
Is this ment by an "offline wallet"?

When my pc is stolen, I don't want to lose my dogecoins. So there is a "backup wallet" option. I can save a .dat file. When I save that file on an USB stick, is it save then? How can I import it in another pc?

I removed the rating. I find the way the coin was mined unfair but i guess freemarket...

The rules seem to be published so i guess people can use it at their own risk.

Happy holidays.

Nah, I'm still healthy
Although I should go see the dentist, there's this tooth...
