Hunting is probably the least valid reason in any case. We are are a highly developed, specialized and multi-disciplinary society which has mastered farming. There is zero need to hunt. Zero. Anyone who thinks it has some kind of special status is deluded. Once you have bowed to the requirements of "necessity", the grabbers will snuff out your hobby in a heartbeat.

I beg to differ about needing rulers. I believe it is because children are raised with the notion that they absolutely need rulers to survive that keep them stupid, and are trained to laugh at anyone who thinks otherwise--you'll still find them even here, where people call someone else a conspiracy theorist for implying the government does not have society's best interests in mind. I believe if schools trained people to think, as opposed to training them to shut-down and simply listen, it could be entirely possible to live within a society which denies their rulers and denies anyone who attempts to rule them. Just look at us, after all; many of us are the ones who slipped through the cracks and realized where we sit in the world, despite what school did. So if it's possible for you and I, it could be possible to be wide spread.
However, in our life time, I agree; people need rulers, and that's not going to change for our generation, or the next generation, but the generation after that might see the day!
It's pretty easy. As children, people need people to look after them and to provide authority in their lives. All you need to do is to infantilize them, stop them progressing to adulthood and you're most of the way there. Look for factors in society which mean a smooth progression from adult ownership to state ownership and that averts the events that bring about self ownership and there are your mechanisms. |

Why is there a picture of Thatcher. She was neither in power in '66 nor part of the Labor government *ever*.

i know alots gone on with guns but its your own damn faults for allowing the general population to have them
Thing is, if it weren't for allowing the general populace to have guns, there wouldn't be a United States of America. Though possibly, if it weren't for trying not to allow the general populace to have guns, there wouldn't be a United States of America. |

When a forest is owned by "the people", you just have to bribe "the people" (aka government), in order to chop it down. Much less expensive.
Politicians are cheap, compared to actually buying massive amounts of resources. Often astoundingly so. In a recent scandal here, it turned out politicians were redirecting millions of taxpayer dollars for what amounted to chump change. |

People lose temper from time to time. Better to use a fist than a gun then.
I take it you are a healthy male, age 18-(say)55 then? If so, congratulations, you similar or better offensive/defensive capabilities of all but the most skilled/strongest unarmed opponent. However, large segments of the population are not. Consider them before you clamor for disarmament. Also consider the capabilities of a potential opponent should they trivially arm themselves with a knife or some kind of club (If only those darn bad guys wouldn't seek to provide themselves advantage, eh?). |

 Looks like a correlation to me. A meaningless correlation. If you banned Goodyear tires, unsurprisingly the number of vehicles using Goodyear tires would plummet yet do you claim there would be fewer vehicles on the road? "Gun deaths" is a red herring the grabbers like to trot out with depressing regularity. |

Cool. Dvorak is to computers what Proudhon is to bitcoin speculation.

Let's wait for the current legal case to be completed before we call the defendant a murderer.
Why? That requires "beyond reasonable doubt". We don't. |

P.S. I could not get Shetab bank card, no one have the card or dump of magnetic tracks. Could someone donate expired Shetab card to me via mail or give specific format of the data on the card?
Presumably you want the actual data value from the cards? The format should be standard. I can only guess that the Shetab is clone of Cirrus network and the data on card is similar to other banking cards. But not sure until I see it with my own eyes. If so, then Shetab is no more advantageous than any other existing network. I have no idea why this Shetab card is supposed to be any different but if you haven't run across it already, this is a useful document http://www.phrack.org/issues.html?issue=37&id=6Looking at the Shetab page on Wikipedia, it seems like it's more about an inter-bank network for accessing funds and probably doesn't affect the cards themselves. So I'm guessing they more than likely adhere to the standard but I wouldn't be willing to bet real money on it. |

Time for another exchange, maybe? Time to spread out and reduce the impact of any single exchange. For example, I moved everything to bitcoin-24.com this week because they don't require any documents or "verified status" to send me my € when I want them. Interesting. I have not bought any BTC though exchanges yet (partly for those reasons) so I may have to check them out. I wish Currency Fair would take on BTC as I have had a fairly good experience with them so far. |

moral sciences
Oxymoron. The guy who invented the term "Social science" should have had his arse kicked all the way down the road and back. |

So rather than shooting for a "controlled and verified" test, perhaps just taking a statistical sampling of the average success rate of TA traders versus the norm could be a reasonable test. Setting such a study up would require finding a large group of traders willing to be studied though.
You could test with play money to see how TA would work for investors not big enough to (significantly) affect the market. TA probably isn't as applicable to the big players anyway as they will be adopting more active strategies. |

Comment from Site5 Hi everyone, We conducted a full investigation internally and this in no way was due to any slip in our security. The only reason the attacker was able to add an email and take over this account was because they knew the two answers to the security questions on this account. They did not receive that information from us in anyway. We take security very seriously and have stringent safe guards in place to prevent social engineering. Here is our public post as well with details: http://www.site5.com/blog/s5/security-and-social-engineering/20130307/Please let me know if you have any questions, Thanks, Ben CEO at Site5 I guess it only takes 2 security questions to gain access. Is this typical for site registrar's? I would think something as important as a business website would be protected by more then 2 questions. Security questions are about the dumbest kind of "security enhancement" out there. Especially when they are used as a way to get around a password (I can keep a password secret, I can't keep my mother's maiden name secret and any question which isn't public record is probably easily findable (favorite authors, bands etc) or has been used on a dozen other sites). It's like the people implementing security out there (or at least the people in charge of them) are sheep, only able to consider and adopt the latest fad non-security measure and not able to sit down, read some papers and comprehend and work things from the ground up. DAMMIT THESE ARE SOLVED PROBLEMS, PEOPLE!!! Sorry for the rant. |

I haven't heard the full details but once you have control of a domain name, there's a lot you can do. If you can reset or recover your password with an email, if someone gets the domain, they can redirect all email to that domain to their own mail server. Et voila, they're in. If your site doesn't use HTTPS (and possibly even if it does), there are man-in-the-middle attacks.
It's even not terribly hard to take control of a domain name even without social engineering. Typically, most registrars just require a copy of your DL on company headed notepaper and some trivial other stuff. I've had to do it for domains that were legitimately our company's several times.
Though with that said, security really shouldn't depend on DNS if it's being done properly. I'd be interested to hear what the actual method of attack was just to see if it's one I've heard of. |

This is a good thing. I like my bitcoins going up as much as anyone but for the ecosystem to advance, some of the big holders are going to have to let some of their supplies out to increase liquidity and grow the user-base.
This also counters to a good degree the "rising prices leads to hoarding" assertion.
The economy is a machine with many moving parts, some of which are not immediately (or ever) obvious. Just let it do its thing and it'll work out.
