@murgatroid99 We have our own server, so usually I just use that if I need that type of thing. Also as far as I remember, dropbox doesn't encrypt what you upload at all, neh?
I know Spideroak does, which I've used for stuff before, and I feel slightly more comfortable with that.
> Clickgamer unveils Angry Birds, the new action-puzzle game
> UK – December 9, 2009 – Renowned games publisher, Clickgamer, has announced the distinctive new action-puzzle game, Angry Birds, for iPhone and iPod touch. Developed by the award-winning Rovio Mobile, Angry Birds puts players in control of a flock of avian assassins. These angry birds are desperate to reclaim their eggs from some pesky thieving pigs.
> At the beginning of each Angry Birds game scenario, players receive a number of birds to use as projectile weapons. The birds are fired from a catapult to smash into the pigs and blast through their fiendishly created hideouts. The smooth graphics engine with high-quality cartoon visuals and audio create a novel, addictive game for all.
> "We think that iPhone and iPod touch users have needed an outlet to vent their frustration for some time," said Mikael Hed, CEO of Rovio. "Fortunately for them, these birds are not easily appeased. With Angry Birds you can look forward to hours of glorious bird mayhem!"
> "Angry Birds uses intuitive touch controls to navigate around the playing field and aim the birds," said Johnny Coghlan, Head of Publishing for Clickgamer. “The casual nature of the game is perfect for iPhone and iPod touch users seeking a quick hit of fun and action."
> A high amount of detail has been paid to the design of in-game characters and environments. Every avian attacker and porcine enemy is displayed as a cartoon caricature, while the scenery is accurately physically modelled to create an unlimited variety of explosive demolitions. Easy-to-learn controls combined with a steady difficulty progression rewards gamers possessing accuracy, skill and patience.
> Angry Birds will release for iPhone and iPod touch on Apple’s iTunes App Store soon.

I've tried to read about what a Bitcoin is, how to mine, etc. I find them to be confusing in that I don't understand the underlying factors driving Bitcoin. Everything I've read seems to assume the reader has some knowledge of Bitcoin (even the wiki). Where should I start?
Say I want to use a Bitcoin expertise I have and turn that into a career. Is there any website listing job offers related to Bitcoin that I could use? Alternatively, if I am someone looking for Bitcoin-savvy people to employ, where should I start looking?
Obviously the number of existing Bitcoins affects the value, but what else? What are some of the primary factors for a rise or fall in a Bitcoin's worth?

If "I think, therefore I am" is correct wouldn't thinking you are "cool" imply that you are because you think therefore your are? And since that is the case, you would have to be "cool", right?

whats a good place to ask questions about the unreal 3 editor (for making maps for unreal tournament 3) other than the unreal forums? (A stackexchange would be nice, if there is one for such questions)
@LessPop_MoreFizz By "here" im guess your meaning Arqade? I didnt think this was the place for those kinda questions, but when i first looked at Game Development stackexchange i found a lot of the questions were more code based, and not much related to doing thing in the engine itself

@GarethJones Indeed, essentially, you can only trust about half the things that @GnomeSlice says because the other half of the time he is very very wrong.
Currently at gaming meta there are discussions about Do “mod-development” questions belong here? and Do “map-editor” questions belong here?. There was also a suggestion to send these questions to gamedev.
Should these questions be accepted here? Is modifying an existing game part of game develop...

I see all the time that the recommended ways to mine is to dig deep and listen out for the sounds of monsters in caves.

I'm imagining Dexter Morgan saying something similar: "I do a lot of stuff all the time that's totally above board. Serial killing was only a tiny fraction of that. it's just the one that everyone likes to complain about."
@LessPop_MoreFizz I'm not defending it. But you are comparing posting a picture on the internet to committing one of the worst crimes a human can commit.
@murgatroid99 I rank the sexual abuse and exploitation of children right up there among the worst crimes humans can commit. And yes, by my definition, that does include the distribution of exploitative images.
And as a matter of fact, the legal systems of most civilized countries agree with me.

The best thing about it (as far as I used it and played in MoP) is that you can Void Shift pets for instant 100% health. That is great. Shadowfiend -> Void Shift -> Profit
