I can't speak for banks in general, but software developers within banks (etc) tend to just continue SI prefixes - cent, mille, micro, nano.

A thousandth of a currency unit is called a "mill" or "mille". Same as a tenth of a percent is a "per mille".

...or you could just tell git what editor you'd prefer!

That's a far better solution (though sadly lacking in beaches and sunshine...!)

You might already have a safe deposit box (if you don't I'd have to agree - don't bother). I also don't trust banks, but keeping just one copy in your own safe is more risky than keeping multiple copies in multiple locations.

Here's one thing I've thought about, and I'd be interested in hearing opinions on it: next time you're on holiday outside your own country, take your laptop with you, use SSL, and create a few new web-based email accounts (ideally using webmail providers outside either your own usual jurisdiction, or the "holiday jurisdiction". When you get back email your TrueCrypt-ed wallet to these new email accounts. You can easily get access to your wallet from one webmail account if you need to, but it's not obviously your account, and your own government is faced with dealing with a webmail host outside its legal control. (I'd also suggest an alternative, such as buried-in-a-bottle... just in case...)

Sorry, I wasn't suggesting replace all your code, obviously the initialisation and the (some code) block would be retained. It's just the if {} block I meant.

I'm not a C/C++ programmer, but wouldn't...
...be even more readable?

I'm not sure I'd categorise the Icelandic Commonwealth as an anarchy: it was, IIRC, a system of chiefs forming into a parliament. I'd agree with the Old West, however.

I find the "external forces" part interesting: in the (anarcho-capitalist) Old West the US Government arguably represented one form of capitalism. In (anarcho-communist) Ukraine in the 1920s and Catalonia in the 1930s the government of the Soviet Union represented one form of communism, and crushed anarchist forms of communism. I wonder... we should create an anarcho-pacifist state, and wait for the other pacifists to fight us :-)

OK, let me rephrase that. This forum is (of necessity) hierarchical. The project as a whole is not (and, as an added extra, I'm not sure it would matter even if it was).

My thinking on this forum has little to do with kiba, Theymos, et al, but with "banning" etc. Of necessity (to protect forum members from arrest etc) certain activities are banned. There are rules that are enforced by rulers. I'm not saying that's undesirable (I can't see any way to avoid it while remaining hosted in the US or similar state), just that it precludes this forum from being an example of an anarchy.

Well, it's not unreasonable for an anarchist to dislike rulers, the clue being in the name: Anarchy (from Greek: ἀναρχίᾱ anarchíā, "without ruler").

Whether Satoshi, Gavin, kiba or Theymos are "rulers" is an interesting question. The application itself is hosted on Github and is, I assume, open to anyone to commit to, and it's entirely possible for people to fork from it anyway (I believe genjix has done so, for example). I don't regard Gavin or Satoshi as "rulers", nor do I regard either of them as being able to "rule" me in any way (sorry, Gavin! Sorry, Satoshi!)

Is this forum anarchic? Probably not, and it probably couldn't be no matter how much we wanted it to be. It's hosted in the US, and the hosts are subject to US law: there are limits to what they can reasonably permit, to what we should reasonably expect them to permit. Does this matter? Probably not much. Sure, lots of decisions about the application and protocol are made here, but, again, the ability to fork mitigates this.

Probably the best way to find out would be to check the source code (search github for "listaccounts", and I'll do that once I get home, if you haven't beaten me to it!) However, in the meantime I can tell you that I've got account names with spaces, hyphens and periods as well as alphanumeric chars. None of my account names are that long - longest is 23 chars.

Yes.

Ashamed to say it's the first time I've watched the (excellent) video.

Also ashamed to say I've contributed nothing to the bounty. What address can I send my contribution to?

Done. (Thanks, Kiba!)

I keep reading that here, but without any explanation why it's the case.

During the Social Revolution in Spain (an Anarcho-Syndicalist revolution that was ultimately crushed by the Spanish Communist Party and the Soviet Union) small-scale capitalism existed. Small farms weren't collectivized, and although the larger land-owners had their lands seized it was by state dictat (the Spanish state being largely non-anarchist, as most anarchists refused to join the government). Even amongst the anarcho-syndicalist collectives there was an element of capitalism, with trade between collectives occurring.

I can't see anything inherent in the rejection of rulers that would lead to capitalism becoming "forbidden". It may become increasingly difficult for capitalists to compete with collectives, but construction of a capitalist society within a wider anarchist society shouldn't be impossible.

But as mining decreases, so does difficulty. The most recent re-targeting saw a decrease in difficulty, because mining had decreased following the previous re-targeting.

I hate to pile on, but no. The judiciary is the third branch of the US government, alongside the executive and legislative branches.

What about running bitcoind (bitcoind.exe?) as a Windows service? You'd be able to start/stop/restart it through the "Services" management console GUI, and there would (I presume) be no unpleasant terminal window.

Disclaimer: reason I mention this is because someone asked how to do this fairly recently, here on the forum, and my "contribution" was less than stellar, as I recall (it's been some time since I last regularly used Windows...)

If it helps (and it may not, I'm not a regular OSX person) Boost is in MacPorts. May make life easier, you should just be able to...

Obviously this relies on you having MacPorts installed, but I assume that that's a regular OSX install, no compilation required.

I've only just this minute looked at Naigos (used Munin before, however) but it looks to me as if you could fairly easily hack comboy's script. If I read the documentation correctly, Naigos wants a plugin that simply spits out something like "GPU Temperature: 75.4". You could do that with comboy's script by removing everything except the else-block. (And maybe a bit of ruby-hackery to pretty-print the output for Nagios/human-consumption).

...but I know nothing about Nagios, YMMV, IANAL, consult a qualified physician before commencing exercise, do not taunt Happy Fun Ball, etc.

Assuming that the client was behind a properly configured router, yes. This isn't going to be an issue for all users, but ideally it wouldn't be an issue for any users.
