I was about to do a deal with him. Guess I won't. Thanks for the heads up.
Let us know what he does .. He was happy to do a deal with PayPal as long as it was a gift saying that could be charged back if I didn't get the goods ... he says he's in upstate NY but his IP says San Fran .. Paypal + gift option is a pain in the ass. YOU CAN'T CHARGE BACK unless you are using a stolen cc to send the money, which Paypal will charge him back when the CC company contacts them. NEVER send using gift for physical goods, especially with scammers all around.

It pools the main pool continuously at the background - my guess is around 100msec or something, didn't check the coding but it's almost instantaneous. It'll shift automatically back one the main pool is up.

I think I know why I was labeled - upon inspection, cgminer regularly switches over to my backup pool at abc as project2 keeps going idle after 15~mins of mining and so. Still having problems with the pool?

Why do I have a red "hopping detected" ? I don't hop (and the only thing I've done yesterday is to change my miner to the latest cgminer) Edit: It's 'active' again.

I bought a lottery ticket when it was down at $240 million. I matched enough numbers to win $3 from my $1 ticket. So when it got to $500m, then I thought that I'd buy another ticket using $1 my previous winnings. When I went to put my money in the machine it already had a $1 credit. Things so I bought a two dollar ticket for $1. I was thinking "this is a sign!" Then came the drawing and... nothing. haha. Still doubled my money though. Just think of all the things I can do with that extra $1!
Be careful. Reinvesting winnings into more gambling is a sign of a problem gambler. Sure, it starts out with just a $1 ticket. Before you know though you'll be buying $2 tickets. Maybe even two of them. Then where will you be? Problem gamblers live in the casino, not buying lottery tix's - however this could be a good start

I advocate learning as many as one can. Neither German nor French should be particularly difficult starting points. Theymos is not likely to get very far with Chinese in a year while remaining on American soil. However, Chinese will help if he intends to learn Japanese later but not much. Except for a handful of characters and old cultural ties, the two languages are quite different (perhaps Japanese is grammatically and lexicographically closer to English than Chinese).
I personally think Germanic languages (which includes English) are ugly. For me the opportunities to speak and the pleasure of the spoken word are most motivating. I speak French and a few Germanic languages, and while not fluent, I enjoy forming words in Spanish more than any other language on Theymos' short list (others being Romanian, Pali/sanskrit, Hausa, any tonal language, and I imagine Khoisan languages).
Given the short timespan and indecision, it might be worth considering the British Foreign Office's categorization from easiest to hardest for native English speakers (diplomats) to learn:
Level 1 Spanish, French, German, Dutch, Swedish, Italian, Portuguese
Level 2 Swahili, Icelandic, Malay, Indonesian, Romanian
Level 3 Finnish, Croatian, Serbian, Latvian, Czech, Hungarian
Level 4 Arabic, Russian, Persian
Level 5 Thai, Japanese, Chinese, Korean
Yay! I know a Level 2 and a Level 5 Language. That makes me a Level 9! You're such an idiot! 2 and 5 make 8. Aren't you learned? ~Cackling Bear~ Oops my fault. Should be 6 instead; -1 for lower-then-usual IQ!

Have a few problems here - I got the 0.05 prize a couple days ago and I just got debited 0.001 yesterday. I got the 0.01 prize today and I just got debited 0.001 just now too. However, a previous 0.015 prize made it safely to my wallet. Problems with the coding? My address: 18c8oXmyvfAFjeR575y5XACJhtrVf9yfjR

He said "Woe! What you do what you done?" to his servant?
|
|
|
He is asking forgiveness from God? Or is he asking his servant why he had poisoned him? Or he is asking his servant to leave the place immediately?

Frankly speaking, like what I've mentioned just now, you need more rep and proof before anyone would lend you that coins.

I am looking for a loan of 10 bc. I am willing to pay back 5usd if the price is lower than 5usd or also I am planning on paying 5% of the dollar amount as interest. I will be repaying back these payments by next week on friday when I receive my student loans (I go to uni of cincinnati). Please post if you can loan me these.
Just make a new thread, although I doubt anyone would loan you unless you submit more proof and rep.

You are a part of the botnet. Eligius allows many computers to connect as one address, so the ~5GHs should be from around 10 PC's. I'll PM Luke-JR and ask him to take a look.

Does the word "compromised" in the definition of what a botnet is ring a bell? While the term "botnet" can be used to refer to any group of bots, such as IRC bots, this word is generally used to refer to a collection of computers (called zombie computers) which have been recruited by running malicious software.
That's the contemporary meaning of the word. It has strong negative connotations. While it is true that the word "bot" can mean any program from first-person-shooter games AI opponents to harmless IRC bots, these are not used in the context of botnets (1) and thus irrelevant to our discussion (2). Unless you want to try a valid argument for a change, I'm done here. EDIT::a few links worth following: http://www.honeynet.org/papers/bots/http://www.abuse.ch/?p=3294http://arstechnica.com/business/news/2012/03/p2p-botnets-the-bigger-they-come-the-faster-they-fall.arsNotes: (1) you can safely assume your Counterstrike bots won't take over your gaming machine (2) effectively outside of the scope since you're pulling wikipedia quotes i'll pull part of the same quote: the term "botnet" can be used to refer to any group of bots
i agree that most are probably malicious i disagree that 100% of them are 'inherently' malicious I do write a 'botnet' for my personal mining rigs - easier to take control of em when I'm not present. However I'm switching over to teamviewer now

The trojan was uploaded to a temporary host (which automatically would be inactivated after 3 months without login). Anybody could do it.
I was certain that people would download it. Dangerous "security threat" indeed.
[...]
The attacker wouldn't have to do more than creating his trojan and mass-spreading and mass-advertising it on more stable places. I did some light advertising and a not too sophisticated trojan, and 3 months later, I still "harvest".
Do current anti-virus security providers (e.g., AVG, Avast, McAfee, etc.) detect the download as being malware now? Or is this likely occurring from those who either don't have anti-virus or don't keep it current (and do dumb stuff like downloading and installing .exes from untrusted sources). Antiviruses doesn't do good for Dday releases like this one is, unless the heuristics pick it up. OP has a point there - most Windows users are too moronic to check their downloads, and this is why botnets are so abundant nowadays.

Anyone else getting a fat-ass tax return this year? Or already got one?
(I filed pretty late. In other words, today.)
Wait, what? One can get a check from the IRS simply by filling out those bloody forms? Wait till we start seeing this forms, a la http://www.irs.gov/efile/article/0,,id=202713,00.html: 1040BTCForm 1040BE ~ Declare via Block Explorer Form 1040BC ~ Declare via Bock Chain Form 1040MG ~ Declare via Mt Gox Form 1040MG/EX ~ Declare via Mt Gox extension (our most popular form) ~Cackling Bear~ Then we're set to be mainstream.
