That would be part of the concern. "Why is my computer acting so sluggish? I'm just running the browser." Then you find out some sneaky script is mining bitcoins using up resources. There's also no way to know what else is hiding in code like that. Could it also eventually be capturing keystrokes, and sending personal data? Hey maybe they'll also evolve to use your file system to dump some files and share nasty shit with your internet connection. -
I'm recalling a pub along one of the side streets of Princess st. It may have been the wellington. or whatever the Scherzo pub (long gone) was previously.

I made it to one local impromptu gig at a pub in kingston but only caught the tail-end. I still remember the cheap promotional posters around our highschool promoting The Tragically Hip for one of our dances. The one cover that is still fresh in my mind was their cover of "Money" which I knew as a Beatles song. I volunteered to work at Another Roadside Attraction in kingston at richardson stadium in 1993. I was assigned to mind the artist gate and had to verify credentials. Gord came to the gate to enter and I acted like I had no idea who he was. "I'm in the band. I'm playing." I asked for credentials and said I couldn't let him in without proof. Then I laughed, he laughed. Chatted briefly and I asked for a smoke. He gave me one but didn't have a lighter. He then tore off to the stage at the center of the field. 5 minutes later, I noticed him running back my way. He returned to light the smoke with a lighter that he'd borrowed. Swell guy.

oh geez. I never really accepted that he would be gone. He certainly carved a deep groove into music history.

even more interesting concepts in there. this could become a viable financing model, that is if there is a transparent opt-in and elevated membership (rewards/incentives) involved. -

Very sad news. At the moment, reports that he died are not accurate. He was taken off life support but isn't dead. TMZ - 1:35 PM PT -- Sources tell us at 10:30 Monday morning a chaplain was called to Tom's hospital room. We're told the family has a do not resuscitate order on Tom. The singer is not expected to live throughout the day, but he's still clinging to life. A report that the LAPD confirmed the singer's death is inaccurate -- the L.A. County Sheriff's Dept. handled the emergency.

oh yeah, I can imagine that seeing them at $25 was pretty exciting at the time. That was certainly prime time to be mining. 4 coins collected is pretty amazing. -

More Photos Ottawa CityFolk welcomed a relatively short 50 minute set by Bahamas on a hot sunny, sunday afternoon where sunglasses were all the rage. Alfie Jurvanen, aka Bahamas, hosted the set offering some wonderfully light-hearted, humorous banter in between tunes that included introducing each band member by the flight number assigned to each of them while travelling to Ottawa earlier in the day. Bahamas drew an impressive, dancing crowd of 37,246 or less (rough guess) for the early-ish 5:30 set. Hopefully they will be back soon for a full show at one of the live music venues around town. -

Same here. It wasn't easy to get setup at all. My vid card sounded like a leaf blower. I let it run for like a half-hour and then computer overheated and shutdown. I started looking at mini mining rigs, and they were really hard to come by. Back orders were months away, so I gave up. Coins were about $50 at the time. Should have just bought a dozen. They're only worth about $5000 CAD right now. I'm surprised that mining can now be done via a web script considering the hefty requirements, but I guess distributing the load is all that it takes. Nifty, but very very very shady. -

More Photos Thursday night's final main stage show at Ottawa CityFolk festival featured singer-songwriter, musician, actor, record producer, documentary filmmaker Jack Johnson. While he's dipped his surfboard in quite a few modes of the entertainment industry, he's clearly most known as a performer. He spent the evening in complete control of the audience as they sang along to many of his tunes, with plenty of women declaring "We LOVE YOU JACK!" throughout. He isn't the most technically capable guitar player out there, but his licks are all very tasteful. His hooks are instantly compelling and a certain G-C-D 3 chord vamp in one of his songs led him into a predictable The Joker (Steve Miller Band) which also inspired a big sing-along. It was a surprisingly fun show for one who isn't even close to being a Jack Johnson fan as the smooth, tasteful sounds can do nothing but make one move and smile along with friends and strangers alike. The weather was perfect for JJ's brand of sounds. At 10:30 it was still 27C! The only thing missing was an actual beach and some tiki torches. Once again, CityFolk programmers put on a solid night of well-paired music on the main stage. -

More Photos Denver based Nathaniel Rateliff & the Night Sweats brought their soul and poured it all out on Thursday night at the Ottawa CityFolk Festival to a large crowd of music lovers and very long beer lines. It seems that this crew truly inspires a thirst for booze! Having a tall can of beer in both hands can make it difficult to show appreciation through applause, but one can always hoot and holler as an alternative. There was a very cool moment where Nathaniel directed the crowd to get down on the ground while finishing the set with S.O.B, which made for a very interesting interaction, and he completed this with a commanding "Alright rise up children". This was a great set to burn off the energy of those that stayed for Jack Johnson, and mellow out. -
