To be practicle, isn't it possible to already call 911, and then security, who will call 911 again and tell the ambulance where exactly to go to?
This way the ambulance is already on its way while security goes to the spot and try to treat the patient, so it will be there faster than when you first call security, who only later will call 911.
The problem with nuclear is that it is and always potentially will cause an apocalyptic event that maybe won't eradicate the cockroach, but possibly all human life.
Coal fired plants in my opinion do not have that possible outcome.
That's why in my opinion nuclear power should be completely abandoned.
1. People that do illegal things, like drug dealers, use dollars as an exchange.
2. Traders play the dollar market to try and make a quick buck.
3. Maybe they're not so bad at math, but accept some losses in dollars for helping create a 'greater good', i.e. a non-centrally controlled currency.
The deflation part also concerns me a bit, but that will be resolved as soon as all bitcoins have been minted. Then we'll see what's the reality with bitcoins.
Every currency has both
1. an objective (intrinsic) value,
2. a subjective (speculative) value.
The objective value of the dollar is zero, that of the bitcion is the energy put in generating it, that of gold is the gold itself.
That would make me prefer gold over bitcoin over dollar.
I'm not sure.
Governments can...
- order ISPs to close bitcoin-specific ports
- close down the exchanges
- make transactions illegal
- insert all kinds of tyrannical measures they can take in order to protect the interests of the private banks (and of their--the private banks', that is--central banks).
- oh, and they (especially US/NATO) can bomb the hell out of countries that continue supporting transactions in bitcoin.
By then the situation will be back to what it was before bitcoins were used.
Yes, and the people have accepted that process of corruption of power for so long now, that they are filled with fear for the government (which indicates a state of tyranny), instead that the government fears the people (which would have meant democracy).
I think it was Jack Otto who said: "The land will only be 'of the free' for as long as it's the home of the brave."
The more the government is flexing its muscles in civic areas, the more the civilians should cling to the second amendment.
And requiring licensing to have the right to bear arms *is* already the infringement of a right that 'should not be infringed upon'.
It is already well known that during the past 100 years, more people have died from the hands of their own government, than from war and/or terrorists.
You should find out whether you are a psychopath. Your response strongly indicated that you are. If so, there are a number of high risks that you face that are not present in sane human beings. Understanding them helps with avoiding them.
Any executioner trying to put someone behind bars for 35 years, only for distributing non-copyrighted information that should have been free in the first place, is 'going personal'.
Prosecutors damn well know how to contribute to, or even create a 'suicidal condition in someone', but some don't give a shit because they are paid for it.
Before 'you Americans' start bombing the hell out it, based (again) on some limited pictures, as you did in Iraq, maybe it would be a good idea to contact Walt Disney first to ask whether this might be a new Disney World under construction...

...abandoning nuclear because of things like that is like abandoning air travel...
I beg to differ. Air travel can't wipe out the whole human race. An apocalyptic nuclear event can.

Seriously, how many people are going to switch to Linux over this? Nobody.
I did.
Users should not hold more than they can comfortably afford to lose suddenly and completely.
In my, further totally worthless, opinion the same goes for the USD and the EUR.

Maybe we should call it an 'AVM': Automatic (bitcoin) Vending Machine?
I'm not sure.

1) Install an app
2) scan a qr code
3) insert money
4) battery low :)
5) try to get your money back
Journalists nowadays are for telling you what lie to believe, not to find out the truth.

I thought the constitution explicitly prohibits the military to act in civil areas?
I would only be 'as bad as them' if I'd pressed her to suicide. Which I don't.
I just wish she would do it.

Because he was weak?

Awesome!
me too!
US lawmakers don't even read the laws they are voting for.
May the prosecutor commit suicide...
Didn't you ("we the people") vote for that?

I hear Jeb Bush is trying to position himself as a candidate for President these days?
Oh... f*ck...
That was the miscreant owning the company which provided 'security' for the Twin Towers in their last days...
Bad news. Very bad...
We don't know yet. Probably both, but we'll find out as soon as 'they' have established their ruling... soon.
And what might be the meaning of the abbreviation (?) 'ZOG'?
