Bitcoin is not the future of money.

Seems very unlikely. It's open source, so you can review the code and compile it yourself.

Facebook's whois result is pretty funny.

   $ whois facebook.com

Saying that if you use a Mac, you're obviously a hipster is just fucking stupid.

MacBooks are good laptops. I like them. Using and liking a MacBook doesn't make you a hipster, nor does it make you any less of a "serious programmer".

Nothing he hasn't done before. Virgin Trains basically have a monopoly in the UK.

This is just what I was looking for. Thanks!

Given today's software, it's trivial to fake a "photocopy" of an ID.

Can anyone share some links on the subject?

Does anyone think someone extending this to place trades via API would be that horrible of an idea? Seems like it'd be interesting.

This is a horrible idea. This is the Bitcoin equivilent of walking around with the entire contense of your bank account, in cash.

If someone mugged him, those Bitcoins are gone. No reversing of payments, nothing. At least on a computer his wallet could be encrypted.

Why would a startup so young would blow their money on hiring 2-3 senior level developers?

IE 10 is decent. But, unfortunately, Microsoft still hasn't leaned its lesson and has no plans to support WebGL. This just means IE will trail behind once again.

That is terrifiying.
