Indeed. It strikes me that simply signing an IOU and then immediately paying it ought to take care of the direct cash payment angle. Just make sure you save the IOU along with any invoices and other source documents, and I don't think there's anything the state could do about it.
And thus you defeat the point of using cash. The IOU must be provided to the state, essentially upon demand, so they can track what you're buying and selling. If you can't produce an IOU, or any similar document listing what was sold and for how much and what the terms of payment were, then you'll be hit with this law.
Keep in mind that every print subscriber gets a free top-of-the-line digital subscription. Its actually cheaper to get the paper edition and recycle it then it is to just get the online, in fact, which is annoyingly stupid.
So yeah - every paper subscriber is a digital subscriber, even if they: Haven't actually set up an account. Don't care. Don't know.
They also get access to all the various "app" versions of their shit AND they have the ability to share access to a friend/family member.
The value of Bitcoins has absolutely NOTHING to do with the prices listed on mtgox and other exchanges. The value of Bitcoins is what goods and services you can get for Bitcoins.
Which in turn is linked to the price listed on Mt Gox. Most Bitcoin merchants - including those on the infamous Silk Road marketplace - actually set their prices in US dollars and use scripts to automatically update the Bitcoin pricing. All their costs are in either US dollars or a local currency that's much more stable against dollars than it is against bitcoins. If they set a fixed bitcoin price they'd end up selling goods at a potentially very substantial loss until they managed to update them.
Every single person I have exchanged Bitcoins with has not pegged anything to mtgox or any other exchange.
If you're trying to use bitcoins to buy amazon gift cards you're a moron, a speculator, and I'm glad you got taken for a ride. If you're using bitcoins for private transactions for good and services, then you're doing it right. If the person you're selling to automatically pegs things to an index, that's their issue. Their prices are so volatile all anyone ever does is buy bitcoins on an exchange and then send them off as payment. Might as well be using your credit card to buy drugs directly at that point. Fucking morons.
All they need to do is send 1 male and 1female astronaut up, pretend to tell them to have sex, and then pretend to find out they exhibit all the typical dysfunctions your 40+ laze abouts do. Then send them up again, tell them them to take these special space sex placebos, and put out a press release along the lines of "First Child Conceived In Space Thanks To New Sex Pills!".
Apps are what you get at Chili's. I recommend the Texas Cheese Fries. Applications are uses, or forms you fill out for shit. Programs are what you hand out at a theater. Software is software.
There will only ever be 21,000,000 bitcoins. (We have not mined them all yet, but that is the universal maximum.) We can split bitcoins up infinitely. Most clients let you go to 8 decimal points or something (.00000001 BTC), but they can easily be updated in the future to be more precise.
No, the real problem is that bitcoin is not backed by anything. Old currencies were backed by a precious metal. If you had one Pound Sterling, then the Bank of England would give you one pound of sterling silver. Modern fiat currencies are backed by a promise from the government that they will accept them in payment of taxes. Bitcoin was backed by some pointless computation.
If a bitcoin had been a promise to do some computation work in the future, then it may have had some value, because people need computational work done. For example, something like Amazon's compute cloud could potentially back a currency, because the service of running a VM for some number of CPU seconds is fungible and - importantly - people actually want it. No one wants the work that is done to generate a bitcoin, so the coin itself is worthless. Its value is based entirely on the premise that other people will want it in the future, but that's just a pyramid scheme.
Accepted in payment of taxes? What a joke. That's not value. That's the screw they turn to get you to accept the currency (and their control of it) being foisted upon you. EVERY currency is based on the premise that someone will want it in the future. If you want a "promise" that your Bitcoins can be used for something, then read the fucking manual. Bitcoins are used to pay transaction fees to get transactions processed quickly. Otherwise you can wait days. There, they're used for something. And did you forget about how those coins were generated? When you mine for coins and find a block, you are building up the block chain. The block chain is the backbone of the Bitcoin network. Mining bitcoins is equivalent to paving roads and laying fiber.
And you fundamentally have no understanding of Bitcoin. The total maximum amount of Bitcoins is fixed at 21,000,000. There will never, ever be more. There is less now because we haven't mined it all. There could be less if people delete their Bitcoins. Just like gold there is a fixed maximum amount. Unlike gold, we know that amount. Just like any currency, its "value" is only what goods and services people are willing to give you for it. Morons like you always try to peg the value to a currency you're familiar with and thus you look at mtgox and other exchanges and think speculative external markets are the same thing as the Bitcoin network.
And before you try to spout horseshit about Bitcoin being a resource, that number is inifinitely divisible. You can have.0000001 BTC. And future clients can extend it to.00000000000000000000000000000001 BTC if the need arises. If you try to claim Bitcoins are a resource because of the fixed amount, then you are literally claiming that a number is a resource.
You mean "guaranteed" that you'll get back what it says on your balance? Nope, you're not. It's entirely possible that you could go to take it out, and the bank just says "No, sorry, we haven't got it, we gambled with it and lost. Sorry!"
Please provide an instance of that occurring in your lifetime.
You joking bro? Did you forget about the $7,000,000,000? What do you think happened?
Some shitdick decided to pull a Wile E. Coyote and run off the cliff with bad investments, and a few years later they finally looked down. The bottom line was they did NOT have the money they said they had. The "investments" lost their value because the fucks at the other end cashed out. Real property lost its "value" as well, because it was already built and developed and sold, but people were simply unable to pay for it. Regular checking and savings accounts were unfunded as well, and the banks said they needed a fucking bailout or they'd have no liquidity. And the trolls in Washington gave them money as a fucking handout instead of letting them fail, covering the accounts through FDIC, and then dismantling the dead banks and seizing their assets to recover that money.
People keep saying that BitCoin will have it's value as long as people keep using it and that you're not supposed to get rich by mining. But that isn't even the problem. I transferred some cash to BitCoins and back on Friday and it was paid out to me on Sunday. By the time I got the transfer, it had lost almost half of its value. Now imagine if that would constantly happen with your real money. It wasn't much, but I sure as hell aren't going to use it again. This is why PayPal and other ecurrencies are fixed to real world value - they are stable (as far as it can be), and BitCoin can't ever get as stable as real world currencies (yes I know they aren't that stable, but that just means even bigger problems with BitCoin)
You paid one currency to receive Bitcoins and did not immediately make a purchase for a fixed price in Bitcoins. Congratulations, you are a speculator.
Every single fuck who uses the phrase "value of Bitcoins" is a moron. The value of Bitcoins has absolutely NOTHING to do with the prices listed on mtgox and other exchanges. The value of Bitcoins is what goods and services you can get for Bitcoins.
If all you look at are currency exchanges because you hope to buy and sell bitcoins to make USD or some other currency, then you're absolutely doing it wrong. 99.9% of what the exchanges do never impact the actual Bitcoin network because the transactions never hit the network, they're internal to the exchange. The only transactions that hit the network is when you actually cash out, or when the exchange owner buys up more Bitcoins to cover the volume of the exchange.
When people cash out, more Bitcoins are fluid, and the network benefits. If you happen to lose money on your speculation, too bad. If you happen to gain money, good for you, sucks for whoever the fuck else on your exchange lost that money.
The actual value of Bitcoins is completely divorced from what you see on mtgox and other exchanges.
Except you didn't specify web mirrors. You specified a copy left license.
Presuming web mirrors that are persistent and accessible to all is a much bigger leap than presuming a torrent with at least one seed that connects periodically.
And either way, the torrent itself certifies that someone has (or had) a copy of the original at one point in time. A license does not ensure a copy ever existed.
You're an utter moron. It's not a debate. It's not a conversation where one person is trying to convince the other.
It's a conversation where gramps is telling the kid to fuck off with his pointless questions. Gramps is content with what he knows in life, and the rest? Who gives a fuck. A lesson the kid, and you, would do well to learn.
It may be that gramps actually believes in god. If so, unless you can disprove his belief, then he is correct at every fucking turn when he says that god did it. And protip: You can never disprove god, or anything super natural. By definition, such things exist outside the set of all we know - you can always wrap the set of all we know in some other, larger set, and posit that some actor in that set is able to influence the set of all we know. Mental exercise: Draw a circle. Draw a bigger circle around it. Repeat until you have drawn all circles.that could contain your biggest circle.
Such an actor, be the Chrisitan God, aliens, or laws of physics, is a god.
So in either case, gramps is correct, and the kid is an insolent fuck.
And in this whole comment chain, the key failure that I pointed out (switching the position of gramps/kid with regards to query/response) still holds. There is only one instance in which one can disprove a factual statement (gramps' explanation of things), since there is only one thing anyone can ever provably know: That they exist.
Android speech-to-text actually works pretty well. I'm using it now to write this and I find bark bark shaddup I find that it bark bark shut up damnit bark bark don't make me come down there I find that bark bark okay that's it I'm coming down there argh crash thud bark bark bark bark bark bark
No it isn't, actually. The "citation needed" or "extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence" mentality is fucking retarded. If you're the one asking questions than YOU do your own fucking research and experimentation.
The convsersation should have gone like this: Gramps:...because god did it. Kid: K.
But no - the kid had to be an argumentative asshole who wants to "prove" to his gramps that god doesn't exist (despite such a thing being unprovable), so he goes back and forth entirely missing his grandfather's point. It is not that god did it, it is that it is of little to no consequence, at least for gramps, why things the way they are, so he is content just knowing the way they are.
I'll wait for Gate 1.0 because SG-1 couldn't do shit without a DHD and in SGA they were always frantically hunting for ZPMs. And when we got to SGU no one knew WTF they were doing because by the point everything was falling apart and no one understood the language.
An actual file (or in this case a means of obtaining one) containing the data you seek is useful with or without the legal right to that data. The right to that data is useless without the data itself.
You and the AC chain below you fail. The grandfather is not the one asking questions, or even the one challenging. He can never lose the "argument", because any challenge you give him can be answered with "because god...", and there is absolutely no way to disprove him.
I don't understand why we need new planes to carry people when we already have existing planes that do it faster, more stealthily, with more armaments, etc.
The point is that they're pouring millions into shit we already have answers for.
We have unmanned high altitude surveillance craft that basically float for months on end. We have little drones that go in under radar and bomb people. We have planes of various sizes to carry people.
What we don't have are inconspicuous drones that can fly fast and act autonomously for more than 30 minutes - 4 hours. And to develop such a drone we have to take cues from birds, particularly with regards to foldable, flappable wings instead of fixed wings. And until there's a materials breakthrough, we may as well just fucking train birds.
Excuse me, but might I point out that SEO is not spam. Some spam tactics are used by the less scrupulous SEO firms out there, but the two are very different beasts.
I, for one, direct my clients in proper selection and placement of keywords on their sites and assist them in optimizing their content so that it can be more easily browsed by their users. The end result of this process is typically a site that is accessible to search engines and end users alike, with reasonable rankings in relevant searches. No spam, no bullshit, no need for you to be an asshole. I'll be sure to forward all my v1agr4 spam to you from now on, now that I know where it's coming from.
What a joke. You want to optimize your search results?
1: Spend 5 minutes reading Google's page on the subject, and include the proper meta tags in your pages. 2: Make sure your robots.txt (if you have one) isn't blocking Google. 3: Have content worth searching for.
Absolutely any other tactic is a misrepresentation of content, and thus a form of spam.

Indeed, about the only valid groupthink opinion Slashdot has left is the fearing/despising/tinfoiling with regards to anything related to the government.
What the hell? You just went and provided a long list of "evidence" (which, by the way, quite gives away your political standing quite easily), only to then claim something that is in direct conflict with half of what you just wrote. How can slashdot believe those "discredited" ideas and still be fear-mongering against the government? 2+2=54373?
This is exactly why people get modded down on slashdot, and it has nothing to do with groupthink. You claim that scientifically proven statements are false, pervert the English language to support your political positions (look up "theft," in either a legal or normal dictionary, and you will see it is a very specific definition), and then close with a nonsense claim... bias is not the problem in the vast majority of downmods, and their posters thinking that it is doesn't make it so.
I provided a list of shitty opinions that get modded up on slashdot, and you were offended because you, like a brainless derpus, hold many of those opinions and blindly defend them. Such a list does not expose any political leanings I may or may not have - the list was designed to expose the leanings and brainless opinions of idiots who react to it emotionally. And it worked quite well.
As far as "scientifically proven" and "look up "theft"", you're just wrong:
I assume you're referring to global warming with regards to "scientifically proven" - what a joke. The greenhouse gas effect exists. But there is not a strong correlation between any man-made emissions and climate change, nor has a causal relationship between the two been established, nor has it been shown and tested to be a problem for people / the environment now or in the future, nor has any predicted climate model been accurate, nor has anyone shown that the effect is reversible through carbon taxes and political bullshit, nor has anyone shown that it is reversible at all with the means we have. Global warming is a political issue, not a scientific one, and anyone who buys into either side of it is a moron.
Theft noun 1. the act of stealing; the wrongful taking and carrying away of the personal goods or property of another; larceny.
When you pirate shit, that it wrongful taking of the property of another. That property is in fact the intellectual-property. You may not like that, but it's reality, and it's the law. The reason we enforce intellectual property laws is because intellectual property, while not a tangible thing, has tangible effects. Pirating things means less sales. "I wasn't gonna buy it anyway" is not a valid argument. Neither is the argument that a single instance of piracy is a lost sale. Neither is the argument that pirates increase sales by increasing word of mouth or being likely to buy it if they like it, or other items in the future, etc. None of these things can be accurately measured, and we are left with the wrongful taking of property with real world implications. Should you get sued for $20,000 for downloading a movie? No. Should you completely get away with it? No.
But then when in stronger gravity you'll have to slow it down again. It's not just the clocks speeding up and slowing down. The gravity from stars and other massive astronomical objects wouldn't bend light if gravity didn't affect its speed too. The same principle that makes a refracting medium bend light can be used to explain how light bends in a vacuum in the presence of strong gravity.
In other words, c isn't a constant in all cases depending on the frame of reference. At least for now that's my opinion, and there has been an oversight.
Seems to me c is a constant across all reference frames, and that's exactly the property that caused this observation.
They measured neutrinos. Checked the speed and saw it was > c. Said "OH SHIT!".
Observers see a particle traveling at c. They check with their buddies who sent it. To the people measuring the shit, that incoming particle (which they observed at speed c) had to have been sent 60 nanoseconds (or whatever it was) before their buddies claimed to have sent it. But according to the timestamps, the speed must have been > c.
The timestamps were inaccurate because they didn't account for gravity's effect on time. The difference in the gravitational field at the source and detectr (actually along the whole path), caused a difference in the time field, while the neutrinos happily moved along at slightly less than c.

2: Make sure your robots.txt (if you have one) isn't blocking Google.
3: Have content worth searching for.
Absolutely any other tactic is a misrepresentation of content, and thus a form of spam.
Nothing of one was the othered.
Until this kid does/creates something of his own, I'd say it's quite likely the correct scenario.
What the hell? You just went and provided a long list of "evidence" (which, by the way, quite gives away your political standing quite easily), only to then claim something that is in direct conflict with half of what you just wrote. How can slashdot believe those "discredited" ideas and still be fear-mongering against the government? 2+2=54373?
This is exactly why people get modded down on slashdot, and it has nothing to do with groupthink. You claim that scientifically proven statements are false, pervert the English language to support your political positions (look up "theft," in either a legal or normal dictionary, and you will see it is a very specific definition), and then close with a nonsense claim... bias is not the problem in the vast majority of downmods, and their posters thinking that it is doesn't make it so.
I provided a list of shitty opinions that get modded up on slashdot, and you were offended because you, like a brainless derpus, hold many of those opinions and blindly defend them.
Such a list does not expose any political leanings I may or may not have - the list was designed to expose the leanings and brainless opinions of idiots who react to it emotionally. And it worked quite well.
As far as "scientifically proven" and "look up "theft"", you're just wrong:
I assume you're referring to global warming with regards to "scientifically proven" - what a joke. The greenhouse gas effect exists. But there is not a strong correlation between any man-made emissions and climate change, nor has a causal relationship between the two been established, nor has it been shown and tested to be a problem for people / the environment now or in the future, nor has any predicted climate model been accurate, nor has anyone shown that the effect is reversible through carbon taxes and political bullshit, nor has anyone shown that it is reversible at all with the means we have.
Global warming is a political issue, not a scientific one, and anyone who buys into either side of it is a moron.
Theft
noun
1. the act of stealing; the wrongful taking and carrying away of the personal goods or property of another; larceny.
When you pirate shit, that it wrongful taking of the property of another.
That property is in fact the intellectual-property. You may not like that, but it's reality, and it's the law.
The reason we enforce intellectual property laws is because intellectual property, while not a tangible thing, has tangible effects.
Pirating things means less sales. "I wasn't gonna buy it anyway" is not a valid argument. Neither is the argument that a single instance of piracy is a lost sale. Neither is the argument that pirates increase sales by increasing word of mouth or being likely to buy it if they like it, or other items in the future, etc. None of these things can be accurately measured, and we are left with the wrongful taking of property with real world implications. Should you get sued for $20,000 for downloading a movie? No. Should you completely get away with it? No.
People like you are the reason slashdot is shit.
But then when in stronger gravity you'll have to slow it down again. It's not just the clocks speeding up and slowing down. The gravity from stars and other massive astronomical objects wouldn't bend light if gravity didn't affect its speed too. The same principle that makes a refracting medium bend light can be used to explain how light bends in a vacuum in the presence of strong gravity.
In other words, c isn't a constant in all cases depending on the frame of reference. At least for now that's my opinion, and there has been an oversight.
Seems to me c is a constant across all reference frames, and that's exactly the property that caused this observation.
They measured neutrinos.
Checked the speed and saw it was > c.
Said "OH SHIT!".
Observers see a particle traveling at c.
They check with their buddies who sent it.
To the people measuring the shit, that incoming particle (which they observed at speed c) had to have been sent 60 nanoseconds (or whatever it was) before their buddies claimed to have sent it.
But according to the timestamps, the speed must have been > c.
The timestamps were inaccurate because they didn't account for gravity's effect on time.
The difference in the gravitational field at the source and detectr (actually along the whole path), caused a difference in the time field, while the neutrinos happily moved along at slightly less than c.
