Quote: “Smart contracts” are at the heart of the Ethereum blockchain. They are written by coders, so some people think of them as “apps”. But in reality, they aim to replace legal prose. Smart contracts can describe, for example, a set of conditions that will control who gets a pre-deposited amount of money. Or they can describe who will get to decide what happens with a pool of coins.
Long term, this combined with most coins being designed without any mechanism to comply with outside orders - something that IIRC Bancor does support - is going to blow up in someones face. "Neener! Neener! Neener! You can't make us!" is NOT going to go down well when one of these things gets litigated and a court order to do something is issued. It's only going to take one testy judge to see the entire leadership of one of the FreedombCoin projects thrown in jail on contempt charges until the community agrees to a hard fork to comply with the courts demand.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Theodor Bastard - Gerda[^]
I've had the pleasure of seeing this incredible band live for the second time at Castlefest last weekend.
I liked this band since I've seen them live two years ago, but their latest show blew me away.
Theodor Bastard is a Russian band from St. Petersburg and they mix folk with darkwave, trip hop and ambient.
The result is amazing, especially live.
Unfortunately, I can't give you the live experience, but this recorded song is still pretty awesome

 I've noticed we seem to have quite different tastes in music, but this one I quite enjoyed.

I have a wide taste in music, you never know what to expect (although it's mostly dance or metal)

Thanks for the tip Sander.
Awesome.
Currently listening to other stuff by them.
They would be amazing live.

Their latest album, Vetvi, is pretty awesome.
If you ever get a chance to see them live then go for it

I was actually considering that one for SOTW as well, awesome track!

I just wanted to check something obvious, placed an assertion within an asynchronous callback function called from the system, and started the debug build directly (not from within Visual Studio).
I was able to close the affected application using the task manager (which also closed the assertion message window) but there is still a stale top level drag image on the screen.
Seems that I have to end the user session to get rid of it.

If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Speaking of repeating one self, I just had a great idea: Why don't Columbia Pictures announce that they are releasing a sequel to "Groundhog Day", and then just release the original?

Just go knock at her door. In this costume.[^] Then you will have her attention and it's up to you to keep it. Otherwise two costumed gorillas may drive you away in a car with blinking lights and a siren. All or nothing.
I need a perfect, to the point answer as I am not aware of this.
Please don't reply explaining what method overloading is
