  1. European Bitcoin exchanges paralyzed by hackers. Hacker attacks have forced two large Bitcoin exchanges, Slovenia-based Bitstamp and Bulgaria's BTC-e, to suspend withdrawals. The attacks seem to have focused on Bitcoin's vulnerability called "transaction malleability," which allows a hacker to change a transaction record in a way that allows double spending. Earlier, the Bitcoin universe's biggest exchange, MtGox, stopped external transfers because of the same design flaw. Other exchanges will spring up or expand, but for now much of the Bitcoin infrastructure is paralyzed, showing that the system is still too experimental for broad acceptance and, for not, fit only for the most reckless of speculators. ********************************************* Price was north of $800 USD 10 days ago. Now fetching $583. The paralyzed Mt.Gox exchange has it priced at $400, but who cares when they won't let you withdraw your money. What a disaster.
  2. If Linden were still captain he'd have called a players only meeting and called some floaters out. I just can't see Henrik doing that. Hank leads in his own way and that's fine but this group has lost it's way and he is the captain.
  3. These guys couldn't score in a brothel with a fistful of hundred dollar bills. Man I miss this guy .......
  4. Bieksa insisting that wasn't him in the hallway. Said laughingly Shane Obrien photoshopped it. He's a hoot.

      Bieksa <3 That was awesome.

  5. If anyone cares (and I know some of you do). The odds makers have spoken. Denver is an early 2.5 favorite. Looks like the lines opened up tighter than that, then early money came in on Denver. Some places still have Denver as only a 1 point favorite.
  6. Torts should tell Campbell that he's still new to the building and got lost on his way to the washroom.
  7. Are you aware they played the entire game with 4 defensemen and still managed to beat an NHL club? Henrik was gimpy then pulled, Burr was rusty, Santo was missing. Need I go on? You expected them to pound them 9-1? For real? One more thing. Please stop with hashtag everything. It's silly, you're better than that Mr Heretic.
  8. Are we slowly becoming the Flames?

  9. Sage advice. Wish someone would have said that to me many years ago.
  10. In 1984 the Edmonton Oilers went into Hartford and got smoked 11-0. It happens it's just one game. That said this team is on a downward trajectory and it needs to stop.
  11. As someone who has traded nearly every financial instrument over the last 15 years all I can say is:
  12. This screen grab cuts off on Dec 15. It was 1090 a few days ago and is currently fetching about 940. One of the nuttier financial instruments I have ever seen.
  13. If anyone cares for a price chart of Bitcoin. Here ya go: http://bitcoincharts.com/charts/mtgoxUSD#rg180zigDailyztgSzm1g10zm2g25 There's a definite lack of liquidity in the Bitcoin market.
  14. Click on "share" then copy the URL in blue and and paste it here.
  15. First point, I am not certain if we've seen the same video of the incident. The one posted in this thread, does not show any punches being thrown. All it shows it 2 belligerent men who are most likely intoxicated exchanging tough talk. Until one of them (Lucic) threatens to kill the other. So why should the "immature kids" here who according to you "lack respect" jump to the same unfounded conclusion that you have? All I see is one man who is most likely intoxicated in public claiming he was struck three times. The police are present. Was there a police report filed? Do you have access to it? Have you seen a video of this incident where punches were thrown? Sure sounds like you have. Second point, I am unclear how you determined who the "perpetrator" was? Is it simply because one guy claimed the other one was with no supporting evidence?
  16. Then why not go to one of their homes or a smaller pub? Where he can visit in peace. Why put yourself in a vulnerable position? Why head down to Dbag central on a Saturday night? If you go looking for trouble you usually find it. A little personal responsibility goes a long way in situations like this. Sure he has the right to go anywhere in the city and do whatever but that doesn't mean it's a good idea. Just because I have the right to don a white robe and pointy hood and wander around Watts County in LA. Does not make it a good idea. Also, someone should inform him that threatening to kill people is a criminal offense. While we're on the subject of class.
