+1 for email verification -1 for manual mod reactivation, because it's too much of a hassle -1 for the BTC address idea, because it links forum accounts to wallets, which may become corrupt, or lost. Not to mention the possible incompatibility with 3rd party clients. I would say at the very worst, after an account hasn't been logged into in 3 months, reset it so that they need to do email activation to use the account again... But even that would be tricky to set up, and I think it should be an opt-in feature instead of default.
that kills the whole point. the purpose is to ensure ignorant users' accounts can't be used by scammers. Do you think ignorant users are going to opt-in to any feature? How about locking satoshi's account too ?
We already have, but for unrelated reasons. Are you afraid someone manages to hack into his account (0day exploit in SMF, gueesses pwd, whatevah) and impersonate him? this actually happened. that's how the db got leaked. |

At least the BFL sticky is gone, so that's something. As for Diablo's new post, meh, I'm happy to let that train wreck run its course. IMO it only makes him look bad. I don't know how others will react, but DMC certainly won't be getting any of my $.
that's why he's on my ignore list. joke-of-a-mod since day 1. |

if the UI is "exchange rate aware", why bother encoding the fait amount?

if you can afford a mac and a $1000 asic, you can surely afford a $200 netbook running windows/linux.

yay for amd! also, linode is not affected. The Xen security team recently made public three security advisories regarding the Xen Hypervisor. Linode customers are not affected by the issues outlined in the advisories due to proactive maintenance performed by Linode over the past few weeks.
XSA-7 – 64-bit PV guest privilege escalation vulnerability
XSA-8 – guest denial of service on syscall/sysenter exception generation
XSA-9 – PV guest host Denial of Service (AMD erratum #121)
The Xen blog has a really nice writeup on the issue.
Having to deal with advisories like these is just part of our industry. One of our challenges in just about everything is our scale. Suddenly a required update means wrangling thousands of machines and causing a huge disruption for our customers.
These specific advisories had the potential to affect our entire fleet, however we were able to devise a clever plan which put the number of affected Linodes into the minority. The plan combined: 1) A rush to deploy additional capacity reserves across all facilities 2) a reboot/upgrade of only the hosts that would recover the most capacity, and 3) an automated migration queue of only the remaining affected Linodes onto the good capacity. As a result, the majority of customers were unaffected by this maintenance.
Almost everyone in the entire company had a hand in this effort – kudos to the entire team for making this as seamless and streamlined as possible.

the most important thing, you did not explain how much you pay for what you need and how much is worth order/product.
I saw somehwere someone offer forwarding packages from mexico, so, I can try to find it for you if it is worth.

Dude, you should just take a vacation to Mexico. It's the perfect time of the year and all. They have some cool stuff to do down their as well. so I've heard.
Nah, it's for an online purchase. I need a mexican billing address to get regional discounts. |

I'm curious.
Assuming this isn't a lame attempt at scamming someone on this forum from Mexico, which to me seems like a silly thing to attempt here, what product could be bought by a Mexican national with a Mexican credit card that couldn't just as easily be ordered by an American using an American credit card? Now, I understand that this is a bitcoin forum and most people want to help spur the economy, but if you are paying someone in Mexico to use a credit card then, logically speaking, you will be paying for a credit fee anyway; so why not skip the trouble and additional risks and just buy it yourself with your own credit card (or a prepaid Visa from Wal-mart, if your credit already sucks)? What is this item?
reason is simple, items on http://store.origin.com/ are cheaper in mexico (region pricing ftw). They obviously can't just let anyone to get the discounted price, so they verify that the billing information is mexican, hence why I need someone in mexico. |

Need someone in Mexico to purchase something for me. You will need a valid Mexican credit card. I will pay you in either mtgox USD or BTC. It's something from an online store. I need someone from mexico because they enforce regional pricing through credit card address checks.
