I have a car with a buttonless key fob. I keep my keys in a metal box when I get home, as there have been several stories of cars being stolen by thieves with relay devices.

"Oh no they leaked!"
"You guys are all fucked, but it's not our fault."
Those were the good ole days... I hate the new skype.
Also, it's 2015, can Skype stop leaking subscriber IP information? Someone can resolve your IP from your username without even messaging or adding you as a friend. Seems like a design flaw to me
The CEO of Applied Materials, Gary Dickerson, has stated that the 450mm wafer timeline “has definitely been pushed out from a timing standpoint.” That’s incredibly important, because the economics of 450mm wafers were tied directly to the economics of another struggling technology — EUV. EUV is the follow-up to 193nm lithography that’s used for etching wafers, but it’s a technology that’s spent over a decade mired in technological problems and major ramp-up concerns.

A fascinating read, thanks for sharing.
It is an opt-in box. Don't like it? Don't opt-in

As an example, if it comes with 16GB storage and my mailbox is 10GB, does that mean other people's boxes would contain the full 10GB dump or just pieces/blocks a la bittorrent?
EDIT: (this was a few years ago, don't have charter business at the moment)
In 1981, Boudin and several former members of the Weather Underground and the Black Liberation Army robbed a Brink's armored car at the Nanuet Mall, in Nanuet, New York.
After Boudin dropped her infant son off at a babysitter's, she took the wheel of the getaway vehicle, a U-Haul truck.
She waited in a nearby parking lot as her heavily armed accomplices took another vehicle to a local mall where the Brink's truck was making a pick-up. They confronted the guards and gunfire immediately broke out, severely wounding guard Joe Trombino and killing his partner, Peter Paige. The four then took $1.6 million in cash and rejoined Boudin.
An alert college student called the police after spotting the gang abandoning their vehicle and entering the U-Haul. Two policeman spotted and pulled over the U-Haul, but they were expecting black males, and could only see Boudin - a white female - in the driver's seat. She got out of the cab, and raised her hands. Another police car with two officers quickly arrived on the scene.
The police officers who caught them testified that Boudin, feigning innocence, pleaded with them to put down their guns and got them to drop their guard; Boudin said she remained silent, that the officers relaxed spontaneously.
After the police lowered their guns, six men armed with automatic weapons emerged from the back of the truck, and began firing upon the four police officers, one of whom, Waverly Brown, was killed instantly. Officer Edward O'Grady lived long enough to empty his revolver, but as he reloaded, he was shot several times with an M16 rifle. Ninety minutes later, he died in the hospital.

A ticketing system would give some organization to the chaos
>Doesn't stripe get a some say on which transactions will and won't their own network?
While the stress test had its limitations, the 7.5 hours of data revealed a number interesting takeaways:
> When the network is at or near capacity, transaction confirmation times increases for all categories of fees and transaction values.
> In a scenario where transactions are competing to be included in an upcoming block, it appears a higher fee results in comparably faster confirmation times (as per normal situations).
> Despite significant transaction volume awaiting confirmation, some blocks can go unfilled, highlighting the immense discretionary power of miners. > Five of the top ten miners currently have limits at 750kb, while the remaining five are now in the 900-1,000kb range.
> Lastly, given the lower-than-expected number of blocks generated (30 over 7.5 hour period) and the discrepancies in miners’ hash rates, it appears plausible that one or more miners face an adverse impact on its hashing abilities during periods of network congestion.
