As opposed to the wacko conservatives who think we should keep destroying the environment including all of our food until we're all dead. Don't you just love exaggerated strawmen blanket statements? It's much easier than thinking.
In my GUT, the three force of the universe (gravity, strong nuclear force, electromagnetic/weak) have been combined. I call it the Force. It surrounds us, binds us, flows through us, and thrives in microscopic organisms in your bloodstream.
And the Kronar is backed by the full faith of the Icelandic government. And it's utterly worthless. There are plenty more currencies backed by their governments around the world that are similarly worthless and abandoned by its citizens whenever possible. And some of those countries have a military too, before you ask. The Euro is doing quite well against the dollar, and there is no military behind it. The collective trust in a currency is far more important than the government that is backing it.
Came here to say this. Sort of. Richard Dawkins coined the word meme in his 1976 book The Selfish Gene, which the article quotes. A meme is basically an idea, or concept, that replicates from host to host. An internet meme is just one kind of meme, but in common parlance has become just meme. But yeah, the word was created to show how ideas mutate and evolve like genes, so it shouldn't surprise us that they actually do. It's nice to see confirming evidence though, I guess.
What I find impressive and baffling is how people assign value to things that have no value for any purpose other than a means of exchange
I thought you were going to make some pithy remark that the U.S. dollar is little different from Bitcoin in that regard, but perhaps you haven't realizede that yet.
Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if a number [armslist.com] of sites [slashdot.org] cropped up for just that purpose
Forgive my stupidity, but why did you link to the very article to which you responded? Was it to get me to click endlessly in a loop, never to actually post? Because it almost worked.
I read it a few years ago. Surveillance was used successfully several times. For instance, there was a camera behind the mirror in the apt they were staying in, watching them the whole time.
Yeah, I think it's supposed to say something like, "This isn't from the satirical newspaper The Onion:". I thought it might be a reference to Tor at first. I'm not sure which reference is nerdier.
Depending on how you are counting or weighting the count (ie do the number of times 0 and 1 are used in binary/computers count?), I would say that 1 would win against 0, since zero only showed up with the Arabic numbering system.
That had occurred to me. Perhaps we can at least agree that 1 is the loneliest number.
Ow, I'm suing you from the pain and suffering from just how far back in my head my eyes rolled.
I just wanted to inform you that 1). I LOLed and 2). I may re-use that claim without attribution one or more times at some point in the future. Thank you for your kind attention in this matter.
Just one example: why water flows the way it does around an object placed it its path. In Chaos: Making a New Science, it specifically says this is unpredictable. ANKOS has a model how to predict it. I, for one, highly recommend reading it.

That doesn't make any sense, since it would have to have taken in place in some sort of prequel, which was never made.
The Millennium Falcon crashed. The odds of successfully navigating an asteroid belt are...well, they're not good, let's just leave it at that.

The mentality of these sort of people is that they will automatically and unquestioningly reject anything that does not fit their world view.
This is exactly what they say about liberals/Democrats. Both sides think the other side is stupid, ignorant, and/or crazy.
I think it might still grade spelling, grammar, punctuation, etc so you're still out of "luch".

Does posting AC undo bad mods?
If I had to guess the most used number in the history of man, I would think 1 and 0 would be close to tied for first.
They have expensive real estate, small square footage, small selections of products, high prices and unclear strategy.
So they should start selling Apple products then.
42. Easy one.
The most common water-borne pathogens are bacteria ...,viruses ...,and protozoa
Well, that pretty much covers it I guess. I was surprised the kingdom animalia didn't make it on the list, but then hey, I'm no biologist.
In all seriousness, this is a very interesting discovery and I hope it leads to cheap and widely accessible drinking water.

Let me state this once and for all.
Awesome. So this means you're not going to bring up your Luddite views again?
You totally missed your chance at a Frist Flcok!

Anyone else reminded of the scene in Brazil where the air condition repairmen are shitted to death?
