OK Dipshit. What happens when the Bitcoin Collapses In on Itself or Bitcoin Value Plummets due to People Waking the Fuck Up articles come out? I would like to read those. Not some asshole's response to another asshole's opinion from a few months ago.
Virtual Currencies are supposed to be harder to mine as more people take interest, right? Slashdot is doing it wrong. The supply vs. demand curve is fucked.
Keep the speculation bubble growing, am I right? Keep on pushing stories so we remember that right.this.very.second might be a very good time to invest in a few bitcoins, because hey, there's nowhere else they could go but up, right?
Over the last few months, we've been averaging a little more than 1 Bitcoin story every 2 days. Please - please, stop accepting every submission that has the word Bitcoin in it. At this point, I'd almost like them to start covering the 2016 Presidential Election. Enough.
Republicans are such a perverted facsimile of what used to be a very reasonable party. If 6 years of Obama has taught us anything, it's that the empty can gets the grease. USA Politics desperately needs the GOP to fork into two factions - there are enough independents currently voting "D" to jump over to make a center-right candidate feasible. Center-right by US Standards, that is.
1. Bitcoin was introduced 3 January 2009; therefore it has been around nearly 5 years. Christianity has been around 5000 years? In one form of another I'm sure it has, but whatever - bedtime stories change over time, but they're still really the same thing.
2. IRL? Really? In Real Life? Whatever.
3. John Lennon much?
4. You really think that because there a plurality of Christians in this world, that it lends some kind of credibility to it? I'd be willing to bet we'll see a lot more people actively using BitCoin in any form (investment, profiteering, currency, speculation, whatever) vs. any kind of proof that Christianity does what it says. But He's coming back any day now, so yeah, maybe BitCoin is screwed after all.
It's almost like we shouldn't boil down politics into a 2 party, good vs. evil, sith vs. jedi, Cleveland vs. Pittsburgh, Manchester vs. Chelsea, Japan vs. China, USSR vs. NATO, Hetfields vs. McCoys decision. Almost.
But there's far too much money to be made by turning politics into entertainment.
He's likely referring to the presidential election. As the electoral votes are awarded on a popular vote, with gerrymandered districts NOT figured (directly..) into the outcome, he clearly forgets that the State GOP has deemed that their continued representation of a minority through use of gerrymandered districts is more important than having a representative democracy.
You think they have a lot of seat cushions in Mexican bus terminals?
Give me a break. Terrorists wouldn't waste their time - they'd use it as a dirty bomb for the media attention, they wouldn't be a pest and try to kill 1 person a day randomly over the next 12 years. Where's the attention in that?
Karma be damned. Artisan Lamps? What the fuck good is that without an Artisan light bulb, an artisan table, or an artisan fluffy hipster cat to sit next to it? Artisan lettuce with my heirloom artisan tomatoes and my artisan bacon with some artisan cheese on my artisan bread. Shove that artisan BLT down my artisan throat and wash it down with my artisan spring water.
You'll find it's incredibly difficult to blame an accident on speed alone. Unreasonable speed, yes, but you can't say driving 80 in a 65 is unsafe on rural, Ohio freeway but driving 80 in an 80 on a rural, Texas freeway is unsafe. Nearly always it's other factors - primarily, following too closely - which actually cause the crash. Shit I'd be willing to bet there are more $500+ accidents (level at which police are called) during rush hour, bumper-to-bumper traffic than in conditions which 80 mph is safe.
The utility spent $3.7 million to promote its argument, compared with about $330,000 spent by the solar industry, according to documents filed with the commission.
Fuck these crooks. $3.7M buys a lot of infrastructure improvement.
You mean will I pay more if I'm in an at-fault accident, regardless of speed? Absolutely. I don't see how that's any different than not allowing Progressive to monitor my habits; I've had the 30% discount since the program was on Beta and knock-on-wood, no claims so far. If I am in a claim, and my rates skyrocket to the baseline+accident level, then I will shop around.
Furthermore, I don't have the device in my car anymore. It was about 6 months, in which they monitored my driving habits. They seemed satisfied with the data, and requested the device back. I still have the 30%, and I am no longer being monitored. If they require me to put it back in - why the fuck not, I don't alter my driving habits. I save $20 a month so they can record enough data to show that I don't, essentially, ever make sudden stops or drive at 2AM during closing time.
Again - not biting on the slippery slope argument, THEYRE SHARING MY DATAS WITH EVERYBODY!!!! bollocks. They can be legally required to give it, but in the agreement I linked to it clearly says their policies.
Based on what I observe, they're smart for doing it, even if it means the rates for those who don't opt-in go up. I see too many people on freeways who are oblivious to what they're doing. People tinkering on phones. People who follow too closely out of habit, not out of aggressiveness. Every traffic flow mathematical model shows that leaving space in front rewards both the driver and the crowd around him - I'm taking my reward for being the good seed. Everybody else, let their rates go up.
Yes. Just like the evil government putting fluoride in their water just so they can lace it with mind control drugs and cyanide when the time comes.
Sorry - Slashdot LOVES its slippery slopes, especially when it means they can bust out the aluminum foil caps and raise their pitchforks in anti-government/corporation/religion/etc. fever - but not today, troll.

Why is this modded down... and replies which are even further off-topic modded up?
People who have actually been to Ukraine don't call it the Ukraine...
Feeble attempt to make the computer page look and feel the same as the mobile page. Stop. This madness has to stop.

Whether or not Charles Stross is correct is irrelevant; BitCoin is bigger than Jesus.

Thanks Slashdot for joining in on the fun. News for nerds, fictional stuff that matters from a fictional perspective.
If I meant rendered bacon fat I would have said rendered bacon fat. I simply meant more bacon. A scaffolding of bacon.
Mayonnaise on a sandwich? What are you, a French? The correct lubricant to put on a bacon sandwich is more bacon.
