  1. Re:I wonder on Bloomberg's Trading Terminals Now Providing Bitcoin Pricing · · Score: 1

    Statists, wanting to control everyone else's lives because they're just too fricking scared to live.

  2. Re:I wonder on Bloomberg's Trading Terminals Now Providing Bitcoin Pricing · · Score: 1

    It is not money for nothing. I did a little mining once upon a time but now it is too expensive and risky for my blood. That's hardly nothing.

    Someone did your 1 and 2. That's why Bitcoin was invented.

    Yes, it's artificial. That's what supply and demand is all about. All value is artificial.

    It went up ostensibly because China entered the market and pushed demand up. There may also have been links to Gox's suspending of dollar withdrawals

    Whoosh

  6. Re:Certain Disappointment on Star Wars: Episode VII Cast Officially Announced · · Score: 1

    It depends which definition of film you use.

    "Something thin and flat which clings to something more substantial" may be apropos.

  7. Re:Their business model sucked on How the USPS Killed Digital Mail · · Score: 2

    Or from a dumpster around the back of one of the three-letter-agencies.

  8. Re:Incomplete on How the USPS Killed Digital Mail · · Score: 2, Insightful

    It only seems fair since the government has already spent the wages of those not yet born.

  9. Re:In 3, 2, 1... on 50 Years of BASIC, the Language That Made Computers Personal · · Score: 1

    It's been a while since I messed with it but I believe you could do a union of a byte with a bit array (or some other bitwise structure) and set the bits individually. At least that's the way I remember doing it for the A/D board I built.

  10. Re: lol on You Are What You're Tricked Into Eating · · Score: 1

    Works as long as eating isn't a compensation mechanism for guilt.

  11. Re:Ass time on You Are What You're Tricked Into Eating · · Score: 1

    That would be for an evening meal I'm thinking. Breakfast and lunch could be done for much cheaper.

  12. Re:ipad? on You Are What You're Tricked Into Eating · · Score: 1

    Talk about missing the point.

    Do you write those adverts for those wonder-gizmos (Only 9.99 plus shipping and handling. But wait, there's more...).

    Chicken is one of the more affordable sources of animal protein typically. You'll get better at cooking with experience and pasta can be jazzed up with a little pesto, cheese or various tomato options (or just plain butter).

  14. Re:Ass time on You Are What You're Tricked Into Eating · · Score: 1

    It does not take long to cut vegetables and if you have someone to work with you, there can be some multitasking happening and it's a nice shared activity and an accomplishment you can share.

  15. Re:Ass time on You Are What You're Tricked Into Eating · · Score: 1

    Amen. It's not that hard to cook well. A decent meal can usually be put together in 20-30 minutes which is not much longer than it takes to microwave quite a few things and on par with oven-ready stuff.

  16. Re:Oh well on You Are What You're Tricked Into Eating · · Score: 1

    Much better that it die from disease or starvation, of course.

  17. Re:Oh well on You Are What You're Tricked Into Eating · · Score: 1

    This was a subject of a "Tales of the Unexpected". I won't spoiler the (somewhat lame) ending.

  19. Re:Nationality on White House Worried About Discrimination Through Analytics · · Score: 1

    I was actually concerned that you were going to call me on some poverty wage of 20c/day or something but $300 is far from an impossible challenge.

  20. Re:Nationality on White House Worried About Discrimination Through Analytics · · Score: 1

    Quite easily if you're willing to be patient and compromise.

  21. Turn around. on Netflix Confirms Deal For Access To Verizon's Network · · Score: 2

    Verizon subscribers, you just became the product.

    This sets an unfortunate precedent. I can't really blame Netflix for wanting to keep their business going but this is going to open the floodgates.

  22. Re:this is reassuring on US Nuclear Missile Silos Use Safe, Secure 8" Floppy Disks · · Score: 1

    More like security through not pandering to user ease-of-use.

  23. Re:Missing the point on Japanese and Swiss Watchmakers Scoff At Smartwatches · · Score: 1

    You said they make new ones which is a different thing from expanding underdeveloped markets.

  24. Re:I am just amazed at the total lack of wreckage on Australian Exploration Company Believes It May Have Found MH370 Wreckage · · Score: 1

    But not wonder enough to actually take five minutes to find out why?

    Nevermind. Another commenter mentions solar orbit.
