Care to give examples of real money? I think gold and silver would be pretty close. Dollars and Euros etc. are just numbers made up whenever someone takes a loan.
You wouldn't download a movie that falls apart after 8 uses would you?
I'm not too sure; there are plenty of movies I've only watched a few times. If there was a discount for the 8-use one, I might consider it.
There are very few movies I've seen more than once. It's just too many good movies coming out, and better things to do than sit down consuming.
However, the idea of a limited view discount is an abomination. Some clever engineer would spend extra time and resources to make a product less capable than its native digital form. I think the technical term in economics would be "pure waste".
First of all, as many others have pointed out, there is no magic technological cure.
However, I personally like to use virtual desktops so that there is only one application visible at a time. Out of sight, out of mind. I use Fluxbox without the panel, so I really only have the application window visible. Of course, there are no icons on the background. I can't imagine getting any work done on a typical Windows box that looks like a candy store.
I can't give any general advice on how to actually concentrate better, but you could start with actually trying and wanting to do it. For example, I recently returned to student life, and I wonder about all the kids chatting with each other and doodling on Japanese puzzles, when there's a lecture going on. Later, the same students will complain how they "don't remember" the stuff, and they have to study again at home (thus wasting valuable 'student life' time). It's the same thing with any work. Think about why you're there, are you actually interested enough, or should you perhaps change your career.
Speaking of change, I find it incredibly useful to have two projects/hobbies going on at the same time. Alternate between them whenever you feel like a break from one, and you'll stay productive for a long time.
If I understand this correctly, the point is to be compatible with zlib decompression. Obviously, you can bet much better compression with xz/lzma, for example, but that would be out of range for most browsers.
Seriously, what incentive is there for me to support BTC now the rush is over?
What good is an anonymous virtual currency?
What incentive is there for me to support Euro/USD etc. now that I can't just print it willy-nilly?
Your post is as bad as those who equate Bitcoin with Ponzi schemes. According to their logic, any profitable business would be a Ponzi. OK, so you didn't invest in a hugely succesful company back in its garage days. That doesn't mean the company is useless today. Quite the contrary.

I use a portable elliptical trainer that can be used standing or sitting down in a kind of peddling motion.
Do you, perchance, work in sales?
Also, no matter how you write it, consider the significant figures. 3 is the most significant figure in both 3.14 and 14th of March.
However, the problem with this logic is that it's less than 3 months since the beginning of the year, while pi is more than 3 after zero....
They did suggest NAHASAPEEMAPETILON first, but it didn't quite fly with the market testing.
My point was that Bitcoin isn't any less "real money" than fiat currencies.
...worked on finding the hugs bosom first.
FTFY.

The net is an adult destination, simple as that. Don't let your kids lose here unsupervised.
Oh, crap. The one time I'm not watching, the son fails to win.
You should always take news like this with 64.79891 mg of NaCl.

Could be worse... get paid every time you coin a phrase.
Slackware is ancient Sumerian for "Beware of He Who Must Not Be Named, also known as Gentoo".
40! = 815915283247897734345611269596115894272000000000. There's probably not enough money in the world for that.
Yep, that should have been "I'm becoming a grade I grammar Nazi".

Then there is French Connection UK, known for its t-shirts that say "FCUK". I'm pretty sure they could get the obvious domain.

Sounds like a job for an FPGA. Then you'll only need to trust the bitstream compiler...
Repeat experiment with parrots
African or European?
I think the correct question is:
African spit or European swallow?
what is it that Khan Academy developers look for in perspective interns?
The ability to spell 'prospective'.
How many slashdotters are in high school?
Based on spelling, lack of original and critical thinking, and overall naivete, it looks like a huge majority, including the "editors".
You #FF0000 my mind.
