    I took the challenge and within a week I had done it. I estimated that because I was able to do this impossible task, it saved half a million dollars to the company per year. Looking at that, yes, I feel underpaid. I get about 55000 dollars per year.

    If we work and save the company money, we don't get a bonus.

    When overpaid CEOs save the company money, they get a bonus.

    WTF.

  7. If Bitcoin won, then by association Litecoin and Dogecoin also won!

    Dogecoin to the moon!

  8. Not all crypto-currencies are proof-of-work.

  9. What do you mean? African or European weed?

  10. Maybe they will only allow the first three well-known crypto-currencies: Bitcoin, Litecoin, Dogecoin.

    They could call it the "Bermuda Trian..." - oh wait.

    A bungled transition to ARM CPUs could potentially destroy the Mac brand.

    With the way things are going right now because of Tim Cook and Jony Ive, there won't be much of a Mac brand to destroy soon, ARM processors or not.
