Neoliberals? I'm under the impression that Libertarians with the minds of teenagers are the ones so in love with Bitcoin, and opposed to regulation that would normally keep their money safe.
Is your electric company ComEd? Their payment system does this. An 8 character limit is insane, but I suppose I don't mind if someone breaks in and pays my electric bill.
>Of course, I'd expect it to be encrypted, but there are probably idiots out there who think they could simply walk in and take his bitcoins.
Since they'd have access to the person with the encryption keys, they wouldn't need much more than a pair of pliers to extract that key from Nakamoto, so I'd say they're pretty much right about being able to walk in and take his bitcoins. He should be VERY concerned about being outed.
Why would you think "the left" is always on the attack and completely brain-dead when it's right-wing media that exists to keep idiots clueless, outraged, and hateful toward intelligent people?
"the left" you decry is just normal people from outside the ignorant right-wing bubble.
Forbes claims the Occulus Rift will cost $499 or less, with the device, an omni treadmill, and supporting software going for $999. http://www.forbes.com/sites/ja...
This would be pretty impressive considering that Sony's 3rd generation HMD sells for $999.
Congratulations on getting in shape. Making lifestyle changes that cause you to feel decades younger than you thought you could is an amazing experience.
I believe that you are correct. My school avoided the model 2, going straight from the Model 1 on a cassette network (yes, this was a thing), to Model 3's with 5.25 drives, but I recall the Model 2's with the vertical 8" drives from hanging out at the local RS Computer Store.
There was a time when Radio Shack was pretty cool, but that RS died a long time ago, so no tears will be shed over their demise now.
There are fewer electronics hobbyists, just like less people are building steam-engines, but there aren't fewer hobbyists in general. The fun is in programming these days, rather than soldering together electronic components. We still break out the soldering iron, but the software is the larger part of current-day hobby projects.
Terrible managers will determine an employee's limits by piling on work until the employee cracks under the pressure. It does tell you the employee's limit, but they don't tend to be much use after they snap.
>The only people I ever read about who have them are jerks.
I think we're only hearing about the jerks because quality people with Google Glass are not getting themselves into trouble.
It's the same as how you'd think "Conservative" means "mentally handicapped, superstitious conspiracy nitwit" if you only looked at Twitter Conservatives. We only see a small exceptionally dumb part of the bigger picture.
>Anyone who is Christian and believes what's in Revelations, should be against regulating money.
Does it really matter what people who are deeply delusional believe, as long as they can be kept from power?
We shouldn't ever determine our actions based on the ravings of superstitious yahoos.

Estate tax. Only the wingnuts call it a "Death Tax."

Shouldn't you chew on that a bit yourself instead until you stop compartmentalizing and get over your absurd superstitions?

>The practice has absolutely decimated gaming
Well, that still leaves us with 9 out of 10 games. That doesn't sound so bad.

Mission Accomplished then, but they also moved the company away from profitability.

>Also, if my HR department decides to gamify performance reviews I'm going to lose it.
Just wait until they award you a badge instead of a raise.
We unfortunately allow psychopaths and sociopaths to control our prisons. We should be disqualifying anyone who wishes to harm their charges.
I think you're a bad person for wishing harm on others. Do you deserve whatever you get?

Thanks for the context!
> Would you be surprised if someone got up and knocked the camera out of their hand? Verbally berated them? Pushed them?
Yes, but I don't tend to go to the kinds of bars that are populated by violent nitwits.
So you're saying I can be more popular if I wear Google Glass? Nice try Google!
You don't have to learn when you have power, you can instead bend others to your will.
Our biggest problem is entrenched power wielded by people who don't want to learn or progress.

So that bed-ridden people in terrible pain have to be dragged into a clinic? That sounds cruel to me.
The part where your shortcomings as a person enter the picture, and cause you to abuse the clerk is the larger problem.
This sounds like a high-tech version of Mirror Therapy
