Yes they should since that thread shows that there is nothing but serious FUD in that thread. Why don't you pick on someone else? As I mentioned elsewhere, I want to make sure publishers get the best partnering experience possible. Also with regard to your comment on click fraud, I believe you are unfortunately formed that opinion by the trolls on the thread, there is no easy way to click fraud my service, we have various measure including limiting IP clicks and anti-proxy measures in place. There is a lot of FUD and angst in this forum so read everyone's comments critically. If you want to get rid of the trolls and FUD, you would actually start by addressing all points raised and not selectively ignoring the ones that don't suit your whims. Just because "that's the way google does it" doesn't mean fuck all for your tiny hole-in-the-wall business(es). |

I get the same thing with other mags, but I wonder what the difference is between ones that smear easily and ones that don't. They all would use a similar offset process, but maybe it's organic ink vs. regular, or something.

I have part of someone's fingerprint in the ink on page 44 of my copy. Second Paragraph, 5th line, the word "and" is smudged. OH NOES!  Unless you turn the pages with tweezers, the fingerprint is probably yours. |

What are these for, and how can you use them? As far as I can tell, they are just the "knob" in knob-and-tube wiring, except glass instead of ceramic. Do they have some other use that I haven't figured out?

My automated order placing seems to be working. Liquidity / volume is non-existent though.. ugh.
I wish more people would check out Bitfloor, it's pretty nice and ACH is awesome.
I bet they would, if incoming ACH was an option, but it's too easy to charge that back.  I would love to use the outgoing ACH option, but I suspect that Bitinstant will produce something awesome pretty soon, just wish I knew when. At that point I'd have to determine whether their inevitable fee is greater than the loss of depth here. |

oclvanitygen works fine on GPUs.
However, a better use of your time would be to hack up vanitygen/oclvanitygen so that you can generate addresses but not know the private key. It is possible, but I don't know the technical requirements, and it would require mods to the software. Try searching the forum; there was a thread just a few days ago saying what changes needed to be made.

From a business stand point that makes absolutely zero sense....
Is this the same business sense that led you to run a raffle that still hasn't ended? Ohh burrrn. |

It's kind of funny given New Zealand's history of not letting itself get pushed around by America. I remember the outrage when the ANZUS treaty pretty much fell apart because NZ refused to let US Navy vessels have access to its ports when it created a nuclear-free zone. I think the US was genuinely surprised that such a small country would stand up to it in that manner.
It's a bit sad to see Australia and New Zealand now caving to US pressure again in many ways and once again allowing the US to exert its influence over domestic affairs. I hope the voting public gets tired of it again very soon and before too much damage is done.
I'm pretty sure that the hard facts of that matter was that the loss of US troops spending money into their economy has made them start thinking a little bit. I'm not saying they are wrong or anything, but US troops like to spend lots of money when they are parked somewhere doing nothing. |

well I still haven't figured that out.
When you can't get privacy for free and yet you value it that much, why not pay a premium for it? I get that, but I can't figure out the massive market density around these people. Unless folks travel far and wide to meet them. |

Writing is definitely... amateurish, but it'll get better I am sure. The writers still hate commas. :p
+1, loooooooong sentences. My impressions: Yes, it is a first, and won't be perfect. I hope future issues will have more content so that the text doesn't have to be printed so large. The writers made some assumptions about their audience in some of the pieces here and there, which makes some of the content fly over the heads of the newbies. The illustrations are awesome! Only quibble there is that the illustrators need to leave a margin so that their hard work doesn't disappear into the binding, when doing a 2 page spread. |
