Topic: mybitcoin.com potential lawsuit (Read 6049 times)
Since a lot of people are subscribed here and may or may not use MyBitCoin, may I ask the users who do to check this out http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=29055.0 which this thread was partly an inspiration for, even with it's age.
Not to mention "Introduce yourself 
" and "List of honest traders."

I think smf allow for edits. You think with so many coders in the community this forum would be jacked up and customized to all hell by now lol
rofl. I'd like to know the same thing myself. Why is there no unsubscribe?
vBulletin has an "Ignore User" button that works well. The previous version of vBulletin had an "Ignore Thread" hack that was installed to a favourite forum of mine and I found it *wonderful*.
I don't know what is available for Simple Machines Forum software. Might be worth investigating.

Water cannot be compressed (at least, in any amount that matters), but it CAN be pressurized. It just needs a compressed gas or gravity to pressurize it. Coming up: Theories about the sugar / Best ways to deal with coffee grains / Can a trading coffee for bitcoins exchange market overtake mtgox?
I mean, if you can win a lawsuit against McDonalds for burning yourself because they didn't state their coffee was hot, you can pretty much sue for anything.
i get really tired of this case getting dragged out as an example of frivolous lawsuits.
1. mcDs served their coffee at ridiculous temperatures, far higher than any other competing restaurant.
2. the woman originally sued for only her medical costs. the larger punitive damaged were added by the jury.
3. they had previously settled out of court on multiple similar cases.
A few additional points worth noting, all of which point towards corporate arrogance, intransigence and a general lack of responsibility:
(1) The victim in question suffered third-degree burns from 6 to 16% (am seeing conflicting reports here) of her body, including her genital area. She had to be hospitalized for eight days. She required extensive skin grafts and was permanently scarred.
(2) At the time, McDonalds’ corporate specifications explicitly called for coffee to be served at a temperature between 180 and 190 degrees Fahrenheit. An expert witness testified that liquids at this temperature will cause third degree burns of human skin in two to seven seconds.
(3) During discovery, McDonald’s was required to produce corporate documents of similar cases. More than 700 claims had been made against McDonald’s, and many of the victims had suffered third-degree burns similar to the victim in question. Yet the company had refused to change its policy.

Does 80C coffee freeze faster than 70C coffee? That is really the only question left at this point
Glad to know I'm not the only freak who takes his coffee seriously. Tell me when there's a club available for me to join!
@randomguy7,
Coffee doesn't, water does, so the water part of the coffee freezes faster from 80ºC than 70ºC not the coffee.
It does but I forgot why.

So good luck with suing them! You will need it.
So let me get this straight:
1) There were no security problems at mybitcoin.com
2) mtgox was cracked
3) Some users were so f***ing stupid to use the same username and password on both sites
And you claim 3) is the fault of mybitcoin.com? I don't see any reason why they should reset any passwords due to the Mt. Gox issue. To be honest, as a user of Mt. Gox I was really annoyed that I had to reset my password at some other sites, just because some users were too stupid to take minimal security precautions.
Being just stupid is one thing, suing others for your own stupidness is another thing - and not acceptable to me.

There is probably a potential lawsuit against mybitcoin.com for negligence.
Numerous users have complained about the theft of bitcoins from mybitcoin.com
http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=20427.0
If they were aware of the potential security breach and did not take adequate measure to protect their members they could be liable

Yes, because hotter coffee holds fresher for longer
wrong. hot coffee evaporates faster, losing much of it's flavour and becoming bitter.
the best way to store coffee is cold (single-digit degrees, like in a refrigerator), then heat it up to drinking temperature immediately before drinking it.
I deleted this comment. It's not relevant.
ZOMG
You are all still going on about McDonalds. How can I unsubscribe from this thread?

This is indeed a conspiracy for have McDonalds to accept bitcoin
So what?!
If wait a few minutes the coffee will cool down not get hotter and if you wait even longer you'll get cold coffee.
Would be much worse if they serve cold coffee, as unlike hot coffee, cold coffee doesn't get warmer on its own.

Just like the temperature guidelines for cooking meat, the serving temperature recommendations for coffee are set at a level so as not create a potentially dangerous situation when taking human error and calibration in to the equation.
The USDA recommends an internal temperature of 145F for medium rare steak. A cooked to internal temperature of 145 for medium rare steak. True medium rare is 125F with a 5 minute rest.
145F with a rest is basically medium well.
By serving you shoe leather and cold coffee the restaurant is avoiding potential lawsuits.
The speed in which all of you stanch libertarians turned into crybaby nannystate teat-suckers is pretty hilarious.
Next up: Lawsuit because someone didn't wipe your ass for you.

Libertarians believe in the legal system, and that you can sue for property.
There was no warranty and every loss was caused by user negligence. So tell me again how your government is going to save you from the free market?
