This is more about meth/meth derivatives than any work on some replacement for antibiotics or whatever. Research chemicals are bad fucking news and for every one discovery of something like LSD there are hundreds of newly-discovered chemicals that will happily get you high or keep you awake, while scrambling your brain and turning you into a literal crazy person who: thinks the government is poisoning his dogs; blacks out and kills his neighbor.

There's no such thing as 'offline' Bitcoins. It's not like your client has to be connected to the Internet in order for someone to steal your shit.

His description of a Navy SEALesque operation the government of Belize put in place to poison a bunch of stupid dogs leads me to believe this guy has a tenuous grasp on reality. And he has a history of violence. Oh and he's apparently been really big on research chemicals as well? Yeah, his mind is fried.

Exactly. "We actually won, but (x) failed us so OBAMA was able to steal the election." Totally expected from Bullshit Mountain. I'd like to see two parties that have some barest grasp on reality in America rather than just one, but I can't say that watching the Republican party disappear even further up its own asshole isn't going to be a hell of good time, in the coming years.

Campaign finance reform has nothing to do with freedom of speech. Way to derail your own post

I think I got it. Lengths will contract, but when you're moving toward something very quickly, the speed of light remaining constant, it will seem farther away. And the reverse is true when you're moving away from it.

It actually helps to just forget about relativity for a moment, and think about the angles light from distant objects will have to take to intercept you. Then it becomes more clear.

I may be off-base here, but isn't the length contraction backward? Things should appear closer as you approach the speed of light, not farther away. And, it should not matter if you move backward or forward to observe that effect, yet it does (try moving backwards).

Also, relativistic motion doesn't appear to affect the movements of the other actors, though it's kind of hard to tell for certain.

This needs to go up on Steam yesterday. Or tomorrow, depending on your frame of reference.

I don't get what your point is. Are you defending sociopaths? I mean, yeah sure they are what they are through probably no real fault of their own, but they are a net negative on society's balance sheet. They are a problem that needs to be managed. Maybe back in the day when we had to worry about other animals hunting us for food, and a bit later when we had to worry about other tribes murdering us and taking our things, then yeah sociopaths served a purpose.

They don't now.

(Oh, and sociopaths aren't very great at manipulating their environment. The high-functioning ones, maybe, but most sociopaths are poor, stupid, and often in jail.)

I think that's what happened to me. I can consume milk products except for liquid milk which will make me sick. (I haven't had much trouble when I use it in cooking though.) This is after going on soy for a year, where before that I could drink milk in the truly heroic quantities being discussed elsewhere.

I'm pretty sure if I tried to copy ImprovedSilence's habits now, I would die. I know I would wish for it :-)

Maybe they can tell me how to make my jagon bigger.

I used to be able to say this, then I went on soy for about a year. Didn't have any liquid milk. Now if I have more than a cup I get sick.

Sadly, the OWS focus on inclusion weakens it politically. It's really hard to rally around a movement that makes a point of attempting to reach across to people whose entire outlook on life you find toxic and appalling. There are people in the US, and they are probably overrepresented in the Tea Party, who harm the nation in direct proportion to their influence on national policy. They need to be defeated utterly, their ideology rendered nothing more than a curious historical footnote. Not parleyed and compromised with and OWS deliberately discourages this. They shot themselves in the foot.

As already noted, I was referring to the Big Mac index. Continue playing at economics though, sorry for interrupting.

How many Big Macs for a barrel? Honest question.

Downvoted, eh? Yeah I suppose we can compare the struggle of an entire race to break free from systemic and institutional oppression and exploitation, to a bunch of illiterate college students playing at economics.

No, they'll go after the exchanges and, failing that, users of the currency.

I think any assault on Bitcoin would have a lot more in common with the tactics of the copyright cartels, than this. The decentralized nature of peer-to-peer sharing and Bitcoin is more relevant than the fact that the Liberty Dollar and Bitcoin are both 'currencies' depending on who you talk to. Numerous lawsuits, harsh penalties bordering on unconstitutional (not that it really matters), and selective media exposure of same.

Whatever asshole compared this guy to Rosa Parks needs to get some perspective.

I just love having fifteen fucking bridges to the same fucking place.

> And if you compare working with a mouse versus working with a touch screen, again there's no comparison of speed.

If you're comparing touchscreens on the desktop with mice on the desktop, this is certainly true. But touchscreen input on a tablet device holds up pretty well against a mouse on a desktop. Maybe beats it.

Uh, thanks for the wiki link to the dot-com bubble, I guess.

a) I don't really care about. I doubt much has changed and I don't think it was from fiscal necessity. Also, if they were shell-shocked in 2006 I can't imagine things have improved since then. It's actually disappointing as I rather admire IBM's leadership in open source. Alas, much easier to damage a reputation than build and keep a good one.

As for b), okay point taken. So, don't work at IBM, if you can help it.

Uh, you also missed:

> If you've read the above preferences and feel you match at least 28/30 of them (30/34 for software engineers), please contact me.

Don't work for IBM.

I'm not one to normally subscribe to the 'if you don't like the working conditions don't work there' line of reasoning, especially in the US where unions are so weak. But in tech, eh, we have options.

Well a bit of mild narcissism isn't that bad, usually. Also, she's not demanding a great deal from a partner, it's just that the list is needlessly exclusive, if that makes sense.

I do find it sad that someone can make it to their late thirties and still be this clueless, though.

Hmmm, I meet > 30 of these criteria (I don't like natto, at all), and I'm in Tokyo. Sadly (for you), I'm taken.

My advice is to perhaps reconsider your approach to your romantic life. Confusing Github with a dating service is kind of an obvious clue, but perhaps it's not so obvious to the person so confused. Also, this list is too long. Condense it down to, at most, three must-haves, and then judge case-by-case from there.

I envy you, and the species you belong to, and the planet you live on.

I think it's far more likely they'd find a way to break the hash function and not tell anyone about it.

Even when you click the magnet link, it will randomly pop up an ad instead anyway. You then have to close the ad and try again.

> It will store only the email address, 10-digit Silent Circle phone number, username, and password of each customer.

Surely this is not correct.

I'm not really familiar with Origin (I have an account, but sadly, if this is Origin-only, I won't be playing it), but surely there is an offline mode like with Steam? So, you would have to log into Origin, and you'd require the network connection when you set it to offline, but then you're good? That's how it used to work with Steam, although now you don't even need the network connection when you set it to offline mode.

Oh, and by the way, you don't have to play multiplayer.
