That can't happen anywhere near as easily, Bitcoin is designed so that only a limited amount of new bitcoins are produced over a given timespan. You can't exactly decide more bitcoins are needed and just make a pile more overnight.
That may very well be the case, but it doesn't seem too useful. For a large measure of time, we break it up into years, each year breaks up into months, etc. and so forth. It makes more sense to keep these all in order. By your logic if we were to display a time, we would place tenths of a second before the hour but I digress. Fact of the matter is that nobody seems to use a sensible date format that remains compatible with how we are used to reading the time (HH:MM). I propose everybody uses the following YYYY-mm-dd_HH:MM:SS. Drop sections from either end if they are unneeded and everybody is happy, every portion is in order and you guys get to keep month-day.
Good to see I'm not the only one using that excuse:D
I came across some quotes of his yesterday, amongst them was this gem:
You know, I'm Australian, and we have got the worst sense of humor. We are cruel to each other.
Interestingly enough, it seems the majority of us Aussies are cracking jokes and it is the non-Aussies taking offense. I was playing wow last night and several of us were making jokes in general chat, in the end I couldn't put up with the whingeing of people decrying us so I did what any Aussie would do, I went to the pub.
I really am surprised by the lack of references to Cryptonomicon. This would have been perfect when Randy was imprisoned and he ended up hacking some code to detect morse code from his spacebar and flashing it back via either his caps or num lock keys (can't recall which) so he could communicate without his captors knowledge.
That is exactly the problem, too many laws exist only to save the stupid and incompetant from themselves. If I am going for a short drive without acting like an idiot, why on earth must I wear a seatbelt? $AUD175 fine for not doing so is crazy. However, there is some room for their existence due to the cost to society of ones actions. So if you don't want to wear a seatbelt, if you are involved in an accident, you better be fine or dead, injured is not an option. Same goes for drug laws, addiction is not an option unless you can support your habit without resorting to crime to pay for it.
Concreters and their ilk (be it laying cement, gravel, sand, whatever) tend to think in "squares". Calculating the AREA is what they really need, converting this to volume is trivial.
Of course, this was another article submitted by Roland. I will leave the rant up to others, but wanting to use tall glasses for New Years Eve so one drinks less only goes to prove what a wanker he is.
Just realized, the senator that the article quotes is a Guy Barnett from Tasmania. The rest of mainland Australia regards Tasmanians as imbred morons anyway. Fuck my karma and fuck Guy Barnett, useless taswegian wanker.
I may have just gotten home from the pub at 0515 but nevertheless, if I want to surf porn (like I usually do when I come home at 0500 on a friday morning)I should not have to jump through hoops to do so. The article mentions "The survey also drew a link between prolonged exposure to this material and tolerance of sexual aggression". Haha, get fucked, correlation and causation are not one in the same. It may very well be a big bad world out there but if parents wish to protect their kids, it is up to them to do so. Not everybody wants to have their children living in a plastic bubble and not all should be forced to live in same.
Enough rambling, time to check my fav free porn site, www.orsm.net then go to bed:P
While US bashing is can be good fun now and then it is not the worst when it comes to litigation. Yugoslavia, Tanzania, Australia, New Zealand and Canada all rank higher on a per-capita basis.
Ok, Ok, fine. Be a GN if you want, I did not consider the roots of the word. I used the definition of "large-scale extermination". If you want to get picky though, it was deemed acceptable to say the "Germans decimated the Jewish population of Europe" during the Holocaust even though more than a tenth of the population was killed.
For those who haven't read this book by Orson Scott Card, it involves a training camp for gifted children where they play in battle sims. Thing is these sims are actually real battles carried out across the galaxy and result in the decimation (xenocide) of an entire alien species save a single egg.
I'd love to go out for a drink, but my money says you are not a fellow Aussie and thus it would be an extremely expensive drinking session for at least one of us.

The polymaths of the Renaissance would disagree with you. Exploring the full potential of the body was just as important as the mind.

"thieves and bankers" Slightly redundant isn't it?
You talk like a fag and your shit's all retarded.

Lack of moving parts greatly reduces power consumption and wear and tear of said moving parts.
Well it bloody wouldn't be Kath and Kim :P
I had the same initial thought as well.
Safe to walk the streets at night.
In Soviet Russia people eat robots.
So does that mean I can claim my expenses for hardware and indeed my WoW subscription and even my DSL back on tax?

I second that, I have my Victoria, Australia cards for Security Guard and Crowd Controller licenses in my wallet.

Ships not making scheduled calls at Somali ports are advised to keep at least 200 nm from the Somali coast.
200 nanometers? Isn't that a tad close?

So something like Ender's Game then?
