I wonder, if this is the way a majority of big businesses do things, how come we don't see more leaks of entire codebases? It'd be trivial to put something up on TPB and just share all the code, but I don't see things like that happening. I also doubt that every single employee with access to the code has the moral standards not to do this. There must be something else keeping them from doing it.

I'd wager they are more likely to get leaked to the black market for money where someone will keep it a secret in the hopes of finding some 0 days.

I'd say the combination of some moral standards, the fear of getting caught and - first of all - little incentive to leak should be sufficient, no?

Seriously? Is that a good reason to move somewhere? What difference does it make? It's as irrelevant to moving as is the ethnicity of the country.

STILL no way to keep them from hiding when you move the mouse away -.-

It would be another thing if they used ad sharing with the publishers.

Do you have to pay the 0.01 fee to update?

Source? Unless you consider the failure of Mt. Gox an "infrastructure" problem, then this is not the case.

It's hard to see how that wasn't an "infrastructure" problem. Mt Gox was the largest BTC exchange - an integral bridge from old world to BTC world.

Not the failure of MtGox, but their day to day operations were significantly impacted during the peak hype.

Other Exchanges had problems, I remember the "you can have bitcoin next friday, when we've got some ourselves" episode (bitinstant perhaps?).

Even the most prepared business are going to have trouble when everyone decides to come knocking on your door in in the space of a fortnight. You can prepare for rapid scaling, but you can't hire and train people overnight.

Same here, using the official one with Mono. It's a bit buggy, but still works properly most of the time. Do you use keepassx on Linux, and if so, does it work well?

KeePass is the program for linux I've found that fills in your details in the browser for you (short of LastPass, which I don't trust).

I don't use KeePassX. While it run/looks better on Linux (which is my main system), it doesn't support plugins (so no PassIFox, I could live without it but I'm lazy) and the interface is less mature.

Any idea if it will be possible to keep the menu in the title bar from being hidden? It looks like you have to mouse-over to show it, which could be a pain if I'm trying to access it often. I'd like to see where to take my mouse without guessing.

There has been a bug open since early 2011 (https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/732653) This is one of the most annoying thing of the Unity interface, but they just don't want to fix it because it's a "feature".

I just watched a video overview of the changes. It seems like you must still mouse over to reveal the menus, even with the new option to put menus in the title bar of the window instead of at the top.

That's a bit annoying. Hopefully someone will release a patch or something that keeps it from hiding.

I think this is a reminder that different interfaces work for different people. I think that the Unity interface, with its hidden menu bars, application menus, scroll bars, etc. is almost perfect and a clear step in the right direction (with the huge exception that it crashes frequently, hopefully this will be fixed for me in the 14.04 release). The idea that I would ever access a drop down menu by mouse is in some way ridiculous and signifies a failure of the application's user interface. Again, that is what I think and it is obvious that other people think drastically different things.

How else would you access it? I often access the toolbar in Sublime Text, for example, so I'd like to keep it visible.

Typically via holding alt and pressing short cut keys. That is the old way to do it. Unity introduced a new way to do it where you use the alt key and a text box comes up which allows you to search the options by keyword. It could be done better in Unity, but I still like it better than searching though the hierarchy that mostly never made sense to me.

The real answer is that things like Vim and Emacs long ago came up with interfaces that don't require toolbars/menubars. They were added a long time ago, but I am amongst the people that turn them off and don't use them even though they are available. For many of us, mousing is less efficient than well tuned muscle memory.

Perhaps so. I tried Ubuntu with Unity a little while ago and didn't like it much--I'm used to minimizing to the taskbar and seeing the names of the programs. I settled on Linux Mint as it offers a clean and "classical" way of doing things.

I'll consider trying out Ubuntu again when 14.04 LTS comes out this month. Maybe I'll get used to it, who knows.

To me Unity just made sense and if not for it crashing entirely too often and incurring a performance hit due to all the eye candy, I wouldn't look further.

To me the nice thing about GNU/Linux on the desktop is that each person can have the interface they want. This has secondary benefits where if you have your interface which is significantly different from my preferred interface, it forces application developers that really care about supporting their users to develop high quality abstraction layers that support both. The same goes for software packaging, driver support, general compatibility of proprietary software, etc. So, by all means, keep using Mint, it is in my best interest if you do (and yours, and everybody elses).

But they don't also process credit cards. I'm sure it'll be very convenient for developers to have everything under one service.

> Are my bitcoins on the card insured against loss or theft? Can I reverse the transaction if I get stiffed?

Depends. Are you using a service that provides it, and are you willing to pay for it?

I already pay for it one way or another (credit card fees, bank fees, fractional reserve, etc), so yes, if its affordable. Bitcoin currently has a dearth of such services, but competent companies (I consider literally none of the Bitcoin service companies operating at this time competent, btw) offering them would get me to reconsider using it

Cool. Bitcoin is still young, so there's a lot of room for growth. I personally think Coinbase is doing a good job (though having growing pains), and others are quickly coming to join in.
