I'm looking for another 5870, a sapphire vapor-x or an xfx (depends which model number on the sticker though as some xfx versions are total crap).
Must be located in the UK.
Thanks.

Great points. I would like to remind newer users how the search function works on this forum: The search bar always searches in the context on the page you used it on. If you use it in a thread, it searches just that thread; if you use it in a sub-forum, it searches just that sub-forum, etc.

Here we go... 1. Promote pseudo legalese 2. Attack the victim 3.  4. Profit! What's wrong , the first line of attack failed , so now you guys are now going to trot out a red herring as a distraction? All he did was compile publicly available information and consolidate it in one place. If the dude wasn't a thief he wouldn't have the problems. Out of curiosity, do we know for absolute certain that the Intersango guy didn't simply create multiple user names on chat, an account on Intersango, and send the coins to himself and then "argue" with himself and try to convince us all that he was really the victim and not the profiteer? $4,000+ is a fair sum of cash, and with all the scams going on nowadays... Just making sure and wondering if anyone considered it. Intersango have already stated they will cover all lost customer funds, so no, I don't see this theory being plausible. |

I don't know how you guys can use keyboards with 'stiff' keys.
I love using laptop keyboards and my G19, fingers just roll over the keys and no effort to push down.
I find with the 'stiffer' keyboards I have to adjust my sitting posture so I am almost sitting above the keyboard otherwise my fingers get very sore.

I use a G19 and love it. Only for the feel of the keys and the lcd backlighs though.
It's a complete waste of money imo because it comes in a fancy box that must cost $30 to make, a silly LCD screen that is totally useless for anything practical, the keys light up which is fantastic but you can also change their colour to 1 of 256 different variations, it has usb ports in the back (kind of useful for my yubikey) AND you have to plug it into the wall on a power supply...
Apart from that, its a wonderful keyboard, though my wasd keys are already feeling worn after only 13 months.
Prior to that I had a razer tarantula keyboard, now that was the biggest waste of money I ever spent on a keyboard... never again...

Ben, having been SENT the coins, whether mistakenly or not, now owns them. The network was informed of the transfer of ownership by phantomcircuit and then confirmed the transaction by including it's data in the blockchain.
What about this? 164.065 Theft of lost, mislaid property. A person who comes into control of property of another that the person knows or has good reason to know to have been lost, mislaid or delivered under a mistake as to the nature or amount of the property or the identity of the recipient, commits theft if, with intent to deprive the owner thereof, the person fails to take reasonable measures to restore the property to the owner. [1971 c.743 §126] |

Hey, Buddy... are you seriously asking me to not think here? And then asking me in the next breath to think about some law code from (where?) Oregon? Yes Mike, Ben (the theif) is located in Oregon hence the pasting of Oregon state law. I'm from the UK so I don't know how you guys handle things over there but from the information above it seems almost perfectly clear Ben has broken Oregon states law. Ummm, dude, seriously. So, that's why we ALWAYS go flying off to file suit in defendant's jurisdiction, right? Doesn't matter, I'm putting you down in my "irredemably dense" file until you can find yourself bothered to examine your request above that I not think. Don't worry about it, something has obviously gotten lost in the interweb translation somewhere. I didn't request you don't think about it, it was more of a "no-brainer" moment as you will, whereby from reading and examining the information provided on the Oregon State Legislature website it clearly defines Ben's actions as law breaking. I'm no legal expert and I won't even pretend to know anything about law, but when facts are clearly shown to you that Ben has broken Oregon State law surely there must be repercussions of his actions and justice must be brought forward to compensate intersango? |

Mike, there is no thinking on this one. Ben is clearly in the wrong, hook line and sinker. See this: http://www.leg.state.or.us/ors/164.htmlAnd below quotes: Again, can you explain how I am a thief, when I wake up and there are 511 BTC in my wallet? Elaborate. I do not see how that means theft.
Did you miss my post citing 164.065 Theft of lost, mislaid property. A person who comes into control of property of another that the person knows or has good reason to know to have been lost, mislaid or delivered under a mistake as to the nature or amount of the property or the identity of the recipient, commits theft if, with intent to deprive the owner thereof, the person fails to take reasonable measures to restore the property to the owner. [1971 c.743 §126]
from the OR laws I linked to earlier? Let me translate that: You are a person. You came into control of property of another that you know to have been delivered under a mistake. You have committed theft, if, with intent to deprive the owner thereof, you failed to take reasonable measures to restore that property to the owner. What matters isn't you acting like badass on the internet, it's the law in your jurisdiction. And it puts you solidly in the wrong, regardless of any of your weak counterarguments. |

Well that sucks.
At the end of the day I think it's intersango's fault for not thoroughly testing code before pushing changes to the live site.
I can feel their pain, they have worked very hard to get intersango & britcoin working and opensource, all with 0% fees.
BenDavis you should have done the right thing and returned the coins, shame on you.
