    The early adopters could pay the late adopters.

  2. Re:Fundementally flawed on Krugman On Bitcoin and the Gold Standard · · Score: 1

    ... useful properties like psuedonymity *does* constitute value.

    I don't understand how this property works. As soon as you trade your bitcoin for a service/product your psuedonymity appears to dissapear.

  3. Re:Terrible summary, decent blog post on Krugman On Bitcoin and the Gold Standard · · Score: 1

    Dividing a bitcoin into a billion billion parts doesn't change the fact that it's deflationary. It doesn't matter how many parts you can make out of it, each part will still be worth more tomorrow, so there's still pressure to hold it rather than spending it.

    1. Re. your argument. We already know this, it's an experimental currency. We want to see what happens.

  4. Re:Keynesian? on Krugman On Bitcoin and the Gold Standard · · Score: 1

    Inflation is one of the major risks of investing in currency. If you play with snakes don't complain when one of them bites you.

  5. Re:What do you expect? on Battle of the SATA 3.0 Controllers · · Score: 1

    Last time that was tried the reviews were positive and negative.

  6. Re:He lacked vision on Steve Jobs, Before the iPad, On Why Tablets Suck · · Score: 1

    140 character limits are crazy. How could a person express what they want to express when they are limited with an abitary limit like that?

  7. Re:Then again... on Steve Jobs, Before the iPad, On Why Tablets Suck · · Score: 1

    That is true, if you accept the price they are selling batteries for is reasonable.

  8. Re:Then again... on Steve Jobs, Before the iPad, On Why Tablets Suck · · Score: 1

    It was clear enough to understand your valid point.

  9. Re:University research paper. Bad Slashdot on Chinese Want To Capture an Asteroid · · Score: 1

    No, its a more common element called inflation.

  10. Re:A good example of why not to kill of species on Panda Poo Yields Key To Cheaper Biofuels · · Score: 1

    Would we have the rage of species we have now if there had not been a previous mass extinction?

  11. Re:Apple cares only about profit on Apple's Chinese Suppliers Accused of Causing Significant Environmental Damage · · Score: 1

    - Reduce population.

  12. Re:Another sensationalistic headline on Gut Bacteria Exert Mind Control · · Score: 1

    In the USA a walk is a colloquialism for going for a drive.

  13. Re:Who cares... on When Did Irene Stop Being a Hurricane? · · Score: 1

    Idiot? I haven't seen any evidence for that conclusion. Sure the activity is dangerous however so are many other activities, for example flying is space shuttles. What we should be doing is learing from the experience to reduce the danger next time.

  14. Re:web.? on A Talk With Syllable OS Lead Developer Kaj de Vos · · Score: 2

    Stupid IT departments and their firewalls force all services to be offered over port 80.

  15. Re:Linux GUIs - one too many. on Aaron Seigo On KDE SC 5.0 — and What Getting There Means · · Score: 0

    Fine, consider KDE gone. Now go away and play with your Gnome buddies and leave us alone.

    Except the trivial one is a software patent.

  17. Re:Darwin on Does Religion Influence Epidemics? · · Score: 1

    Therefore only those religions stay, which give sensible medical advice.

    No - a higher birth rate coupled with a higher death rate breeds out the weakness.

  18. Re:Cue the fun.... on Does Religion Influence Epidemics? · · Score: 1

    I wonder if this post will fit in my signature...

  19. Re:Science vs Religion: Contradictions? on Evangelical Scientists Debate Creation Story · · Score: 2

    The genomic evidence is irrelevant. First of all you're starting with a basic premise of magical interference at the time of Adam, but then you assume that it was the last time god messed around with life. As long as magic is in play why not assume that the evidence can be explained by further magical interference at the time of the tower of babel?

  20. Re:What about the leakers document? on Former Wikileaks Spokesman Destroyed Documents · · Score: 2

    Why could that person not simply send the same list to Wikileaks again? Is there some reason why they would not or have not done so?

    Sure it was only 5GB of data. Let me just upload that again, I'm sure that security at BOA will not catch me the second time, even after being alerted to the leak.

  21. Re:Tragic... on Former Wikileaks Spokesman Destroyed Documents · · Score: 0

    Insightful? This is just repeating what the parent said for those who don't understand blatant subtlety.

  22. Re:Double Standard on Teacher Cannot Be Sued For Denying Creationism · · Score: 1

    Nonsense and cult seem to be reasonable conclusions to come to after observing the evidence.

  25. Re:We're no danger to the Galaxy... on What If Aliens Came To Save the Galaxy From Mankind? · · Score: 1

    Human history suggests that if we were to reach another planet with life that we would crush it without blinking.

    Depends. Can we eat it or have sex with it?
