Its crazy that Game of Thrones pirates are being monitored by HBO, as so many people love the series: http://gameofthrones-1.yolasit...

I ran tomato for a long time and recently upgraded to a ASUS RT-N66U. Its happily running toastman's tomato.

Yeah? What about this?

There are plenty of emergent parties. There is Socialist Alernative in Seattle, Mountain Party of West Virginia, Vermont Progressive Party, Independent Party of Connecticut, the DC Statehod/Green Party, and most states have a chapter of the Green Party. Vote for one of their candidates.

Unlike those parties I don't want to quibble about how to use the huge government. I want less government. Liberterian Party for me. They're the only ones serious about returning to federalism.

It is designed for rewarding early investors. It even has a built-in diminishing return per investment

Bitcoin "mining" is about preventing counterfeiting. The longest set of bitcoin blocks is the "valid" one, and "mining" lengthens that chain. It favors early adopters because lengthening an already long chain is more difficult than lengthening a short one, and your own individual efforts contribute relatively less as more people mine.

You're encouraged to find new investors in order to drive up the value of your (meager) holdings (and the substantial holdings of early players).

That's true of anything people care to speculate on, including gold, the US dollar, and beanie babies.

Once it bursts, there will be little to no value to recover, because there are no real assets reflecting the investments

You seem to have confused "bitcoins" with "real estate." They're money . Like they teach in econ 101, bitcoins have value for the same reason dollars and euros do - because they serve as

• a store of value
• a medium of exchange
• and a unit of account

You might not think bitcoin is destined for much success as a currency, and it probably isn't. But that doesn't make it any more of a "con" or a "pyramid scheme" than, say, Timucua scrip.

Neutrino capture should also occur, if a anti neutrino strikes a beta-decaying nucleus, (even a very low energy anti neutrino), the process, anti-v+n->p+e will occur. The cross section is low though, so we would have to postulate a very large number of low energy anti-neutrino passing though substance to see a sizeable change to the decay rate. I have examined what would happen if neutrinos and quarks, both felt an additional force, an axial force, this would lead to a background sea of neutrinos or anti-neutrinos around any element, except those with the same number of protons as neutrons. Pauli-exclusion would prevent most of these being the correct type, electron-neutrinos, in ordinary conditions. But special conditions would liberate enough extra electron-neutrinos to increase decay rates. I'll rate this up on my blog Axitronics, just as soon as I can put some definite maths, behind the above.

This site is directed mostly at UK people being attacked by a very similar business model. Although not 100% relevant I'm sure it has plenty of information on there for anyone who's received a letter or simply wants to read some legal rights they may (or may not) have.

Absolutely, it's the 99% of the lawyers that give the rest a bad name...

Seriously though, it's not that often that criminal lawyers (most of the ones you list) annoy me, though I have contempt for the one that threatened Gary McKinnon with the eventual death penalty if he didn't stop fighting extradition, for example - and there's AMPLE examples of prosecutions that should never have happened.

Many civil lawyers, especially those that work for large firms or on class action suits are simply parasites on society though. It's not like we can even avoid them - they insert themselves into everything, from drafting the worst parts of the Digital Economy Bill, to the impenetrable legal 'contracts' that come with everything these days to sending threatening letters to if they don't pay up right now, threatening sanctions that aren't even in the law, based on virtually no evidence that itself is frequently wrong - and have admitted that it is a profitable business, as of *course* no-one would ever pay up in confusion or fear or to just make it go away, they *must* be guilty, so we shall do more of it!

And oddly enough, many politicians started out as lawyers. So they start with using obscure, badly written and vague laws to beat down competitors and exploit the customers; then going into the legislature, where they draft obscure, badly written and vague laws to supposedly tackle one thing, and end up having loopholes big enough for a truck-driving tax avoidance expert to drive though.

Are all lawyers worthless? Of course not. Do they have a similar level of worthless people doing worthless* jobs as say, estate agents, advertising executives and telesales people? Oh, yes.

*worthless to you, me, and the general good of society. I'm sure they're worth quite a bit in financial terms to the lawyer in question.
