  1. Re:Maybe I should get into this mining thing... on Bitcoin Tumbles From Record High After Exchanges Confirm Outage · · Score: 1

    So you trusted an exchange run by some guys who ran a Magic the Gathering exchange. Now you blame the whole ecosystem because YOU didn't do your due diligence.

    No one to blame but yourself.

    Pretty sure a Mac is not going to be your best bet for mining Bitcoin.

    I'd suggest looking into Ethereum since that can be mined with a GPU.

    Oh my god, you actually believe that?

    Then I guarantee you have never returned fire before in your life. About 99% of rounds fired by the military in a real situation miss their target.

    How about don't invest in cryptocoins when the founder has only a linkedin page as an online presence.

    Like the Motorola Atrix? Because vendor support is only a good thing if it actually supports the product. The Atrix had one update before it was relegated to the trash bin of history along with Webtop.

    where did my formatting go, fuck it here it is again:

    Yeah, the US voted against a ban on the Death Penalty, adding in the "on homosexuals" to make it sound worse doesn't really help your position at all.

    "The United States unequivocally condemns the application of the death penalty for conduct such as homosexuality, blasphemy, adultery, and apostasy," Nauert said. "We do not consider such conduct appropriate for criminalization."

    Can we please have discussions where one side isn't blatantly misrepresenting the truth again.

    This company does not deserve to survive. Unfortunately, as the memory of the incident fades, so will Congress's desire to do anything about it.

  15. Why so low? on Civilian Drone Crashes Into a US Army Helicopter (nypost.com) · · Score: 1, Informative

    Why is the US military flying at 500 ft over a residential area? Drones are legal to 400 ft and Helicopters are supposed to keep a floor of 800 ft, granted that is waived for the military, 500 ft is really low (no auto rotation) and not entirely safe for those below.

    Not true at all. You can easily buy Litecoin and Ethereum on most major brokerages, probably several other crypto-currencies as well. Ethereum you can mine with a decent video card, no asics for that.

  25. 1. Are your products expensive enough to ditch/not use no-reply?
    Yes

    2. Is your customer base small enough? Hint: if you have e.g. millions of customers, no-reply is a must.
    Yes, it is a small niche market.

    3. Is your support center large enough to ditch no-reply?
    No, we have a small call center staffed with retirees from the industry

    4. Have you calculated/extrapolated/estimated/thought of how much would it cost to not use no-reply?
    No, it was never a thought. We need customer retention as we are #2 or 3 in a market with limited customer growth. As such we have found other ways to grow

    5. Have you thought about what would happen if would not use no-reply AND still be unable to answer your customers?
    There are times we can not satisfactorily answer our customers questions, sometimes they know more then us.

    6. Do your outbound e-mails contain anything that your customers can reply to? Sending something like "we have a new product called X and you can find it clicking here" generates no relevant replies.
    Sure, we do marketing emails, your reply will go to the sales department. Why would I want to make it more difficult for my customers to get in touch with me? They can click a link, but if they hit reply, the reply-to has an appropriate return address.
