If this was a Dr. Who episode, it would be a crashed spaceship from millions of years ago and everybody who went into the tunnel would come out covered in green slime and turning into a cave man.
Sure, people give books away. I personally give both things and my time away. But we are talking about a wide variety of textbooks on a wide variety of topics that have to be really professionally produced. It is unreasonable (until the Marxist utopia arrives) to imagine that everything you want is going to be handed to you for free. Sometimes, you just have to exchange something of value for what you want.
Yes, because of course people will do hundreds of hours of work for free. Personally, I'm looking forward to the trend where random people send me enough money that I can retire.
Sounds like they aren't planning on just dumping the weapons into the ocean, they are going to literally destroy them. As another poster said, probably by incineration. So no, you won't be fishing up rusted nerve gas canisters.
The NSA is monitoring, decrypting and analyzing a huge percentage of the traffic on the Internet. I have a hunch that they could easily overwhelm the relatively few miners that are out there.
Yep, some people have a stake in the current system. And some people have a horrible visceral reaction whenever anyone points out problems with Bitcoin.
My favorite doctor is Tom Baker... all the energy, the scarf, the huge grin, the way he could challenge just about any evil, despite the odds.
I loved how the Doctor got pulled into locating the keys to time:
White Guardian asks the Doctor to locate the keys. Doctor: What happens if I say no? White Guardian: Nothing Doctor: Nothing? White Guardian: Nothing Doctor: Nothing??? White Guardian: Nothing... ever
I must admit, though, one of the best moments is when BBC revived Dr. Who and had an episode (maybe the first episode) where the Doctor takes Rose billions of years into the future, with the sun about to engulf the earth. To the Doctor, it's just all part of the normal cycle of things... just on a larger scale. But Rose is overcome watching the extinction of her planet. It makes you realize that the Doctor is NOT just a guy with a time machine... he's an alien, with a completely alien view of the universe.
Two problems with phones: first , people seem to have the need to scream into them. Second, it is extremely annoying to just hear one side of a conversation. No, it does not add to convenience to have to listen to 3 people around you talking loudly into the phones. It makes an uncomfortable experience even more uncomfortable. People can live without their phones for a couple of hours. Really.
So what's the solution? The game maker has to make money somewhere. If they aren't charging for the game, and they aren't charging for "pay to win", then they have to charge for cosmetic stuff. They aren't screwing anyone over. They have to make money SOMEWHERE or the game doesn't exist.
When you look at it that way, clearly Russia, China, Japan, India, France, the UK, etc can't afford a space program either. Guess we better shut them all down.
Apparently not. He doesn't know that I can pay $1,000 for a tank of oil... or $200 for a cord of wood. And the cord of wood heats better. Turn the heat down? Yeah, I tried that... and the guy who came to repair my pipes pointed out that up north, water freezes when it gets below 32F.

So everyone who doesn't donate hundreds of hours of work for free is selfish? Just out of curiosity, what do YOU donate?

The folks around Fukushima might disagree about that whole "non-polluting" thing.
You mean there can only be one? Sort of like the first company to create a GUI has the patent on all GUIs?
I listened to a Maximum PC podcast about this a couple of weeks ago. Is this a slow news day?

Congratulations, you just proved the GP's point.
This is just an opinion piece, not even remotely news.

It all makes sense now...
But what about the abduction of Michael Jackson by space aliens and his replacement by a dead clone? How does that fit in?
How about the "future perfected" tense? Also the "past perfected"?
We need more tenses
Well... the doctor has lots of time. so to speak.
no... but he will be.

Maybe we should just rename this site Bitdot.
