    Don't respond to obvious trolls.

    Coffee in a teabag is not obvious in hindsight, just obvious.

    What if I put mate in a bag? Or dried fruit?

    Stuff that goes into hot water, in a bag is as obvious as it gets.

    I don't see the useful part of that. It is still just more fake money printing and scamming.

    Sure, but a whole bitcoin rig does nothing useful, is my understanding. Is there an actual use for those ASICs?

    How about useful commercial work?

    How about just less single purpose?

    It is not like you can take a bitcoin rig and do anything worthwhile with it.

  5. Try to imagine Iraq, without the need to invade.

    A war like this would simply be about containment. Sink any ship they sail, and shoot down any plane that leaves their airspace.

    Once cutoff from outside support the chinese will soon find themselves short on oil and coal.

    Those are only for advertising and pleasure cruises.

    This is because of the inherent stability issues that lighter than air craft all face.

    Leases are a no go for me. I have no interest in a continuing car payment.

    Which ones are those?

    All the ones I know of are used only for advertising and pleasure cruising due to these limitations.

    Will helium readily flow through it?
    Its density does not mean it is not too porous to prevent everything else from flowing through, or tight enough to significantly restrict the flow of the gasses you want.

    You still have the weather issues that make airships impractical and now your lifting agent costs billions per fill. That is just the first two problems.

    The Chinese have a lot of soldiers, but no where near the best military.

    All three of those are under the protection of the actual best military in the world. China will not risk a shift ass kicking by the USA and her allies.

    Find me some in the google play store. I will wait.

    Actual Malware is generally found in pirated apps.
    Also there is not much of it, I have never seen it live.

    Stop trolling, and educate yourself. Either way user control is more important than safety.

    That is not innovation and surely if a tea bag exists than a coffee bag does not deserve a patent.

    If you attempt to spend more than $10k worth you will have to fill out a form saying how you got them. No several $1k transactions will not work that is two forms you then have to fill out.

    They will also have to keep records of your transactions.

    When not if. A recent case was some games were removed, before that is was tethering applications, and before that other bullshit.

    In consoles what happens is a person buys all the consoles to get the games that are exclusive to each.

    I will not respond to you last statement since it is a lie. Those stores are just as curated.

    Anti-Israeli is not the same as anti-Semitic.

    Surely you can see the difference? Just like one might protest the actions of the US government while holding no ill will towards her people.

    Editors could screen for those.

    Pretty much all the GNAA stuff back in the day, or the computer first aid, or APK or general poor trolling is done by ACs.

    Which electric car?

    I have been looking and none seem to be worth it just yet. As much as I would love to abandon gas I can't see spending luxury car money for a econobox.

    WTF are you trying to say here?

    You cannot buy from amazon with bitcoin directly. Instead bitpay handles that. If you want to buy from amazon, someone has to turn that into USD at some point. They will be the regulated party. If amazon takes bitcoins, all that would change is amazon would be regulated as a money changer.

    There will be when they find out something they wanted is not in the app store. Let someone else pick what you can do and you will soon find they don't like the same things you do.

    You try that and see how it works out.

    You would still have to report you bitcoin profits and convert some of them to USD to pay those taxes.

    At that point it is totally worthless, right now it is still deflating its way there.

    That says bitpay is the one taking the coins not amazon.

    Person to person transactions are still regulated. You might not report them like you are supposed to, but when you get caught it will be a big deal.
