  1. Oven Manufacturer Conspiracy on Scientists Race To Develop Livestock That Can Survive Climate Change · · Score: 1

    This is just another conspiracy by the ailing Kitchen industry to force us to buy ovens that run hotter. :P

    Plus, windows was a piece of shit for years that you would never use in a commercial environment. Now, um... whoops, bad example.

    Perhaps he's smarter than he's putting forth here. By generating support, even it if is for a flawed model, it will put wind behind cryptocurrency sails in general - stripping power from central bankers.

  5. Intrinsic Value on Rand Paul Suggests Backing Bitcoin With Stocks · · Score: 1

    BitCoin's intrinsic value is a massive groundswell of anti-authoritarianism.

  6. Whether it crashes is irrelevant on Virgin Galactic Now Taking Bitcoin For Suborbital Flights · · Score: 1

    It's the idea that matters and it has already been unleashed. Central banking is the bane of everyone's existence whether they realise it or not. Cryptocurrencies will turn central banking literally upside down and with that, a redistribution of economic power. The Chinese can't believe their fortune. The enemy has embraced the technology that will dissolve the very ground he stands on!

    Average global temperatures are up 4c in the last century, 2c in the last decade, and it is more severe near the poles. Coastal water levels have risen by a few inches in the last decade.

    OK lets go from the top. You took the floor so I kindly ask that you give references for the stated data. Lets be civil geeks.

    I searched for Cryosphere Today, and what came up was a page talking about the ever decreasing amount of sea ice. http://arctic.atmos.uiuc.edu/cryosphere/

    Where is this 'talking about' you talk about. Did you look a the data?

    Average temperatures have fallen marginally in the last decade, so you're misinformed there (see the actual satellite data at Cryosphere Today, not CNN) .Average temperatures were quite a bit warmer and changed more dramatically in the middle ages. Greenland was not named sarcastically. Britain once produced wine. Find the connection between politics, power tax and lies. In short: get your brain out of your arse :]

  13. Money ignorance on Ask Amir Taaki About Bitcoin · · Score: 0

    BitCoin is a medium of exchange like any other money before it, from feathers to paper backed by military force (US dollar). The fact that fiat currencies can be printed willy-nilly without the discipline of anything to back it with (ie gold / silver) is the direct cause of all the evil in the world today. The Cabal in charge of the printing press manipulates the entire physical paradigm of existence and eventually destroys it. "Permit me to issue and control the money of the nation and I care not who makes its laws. — Mayer Amsched Rothchild", 1800's. I hear idiots talking about Ponzi schemes, bubbles etc, and don't have a clue about the fundamentals of money. it's a MEDIUM OF EXCHANGE. Like any other medium of exchange, criminals can build ponzi schemes ontop, markets can get excited about it and create bubbles, like anything else. Money is a store of value, period. The difference here is that the value of it, vis-a-vis how much stuff you can but with a unit of it, is determined by far more parties than has ever been possible. This is the proper market democratisation of trust in the unit. The US dollar currently is run by a tiny private Cabal inbreds. For the love of Christ, learn about and understand money in history first, the role of Gold and Silver for 5000 years, the attempts by Government to eradicate Gold & Silver so they can print money and fund wars etc etc, then comment.

  14. Australia Inc on Transparency Required For $37 Billion Aussie Broadband Deal · · Score: 0

    The Australian Government is now fully engaged in the Fascist Business Model like the USA, hence the contempt for people policies. The Commonwealth of Australia is a US Securities Exchange listed company, prospectus n all. Look it up.

  15. Re:dialup and wifi cantennas on Egypt Goes Dark As Last ISP Pulls Plug · · Score: 1

    The Illuminists risk sparking a communications revolution post-internet by taking draconian measures like this.

    Massively Distributed WIFI is where this is going, and we need to accelerate thinking in this direction. It cannot be intended for mainstay use, but as a mitigation to tyranny.

    Another option is blue-tooth (100M Class A) distributed database core (eg CouchDB) with lightweight web server and subscription / security layer. People would be able to 'swarm' to update their subscriptions, and identify where physically the latest updates are, and become human routers.

  24. Re:As a US Citizen, on WikiLeaks Starts Mass Mirroring Effort · · Score: 1

    In my view they key to the Wikileaks strategy is to seduce the authorities into publically betraying the principles they porport to stand for, most principally, the rule of law. Here in Aus, this has never been so blatant, our puppet Prime Minister DECLARING Assange's actions "illegal". Due process anyone? Cursory study shows that the Constitution was effectively torn up with little political colateral at the advent of The Patriot Act, a huge shift shoved down the throat of Congress 2 weeks after 9/11, with 30 minutes to read 500 pages. Conspiracy anyone? Democracy only existed for a blip in the US and now we return to feudalism. The power of the internet as the people's platform to have it's interests matter was a miscalculation by the Globalists in their 300 year old agenda for a feudal One World System. This is opportunity to thwart eternal slavery must be taken.
