Single opt-ins suck. Why would you ever want to subject your list that that much "spam" notations? No one wants to see your promotions if they've not signed up for them. If you're running the business right, people will want to open your emails because they provide value.
I use double opt-ins for my online listbuilding, and am very explicit that the user will receive solicitations. I use single opt-in in the real world only, such as when I run a contest dropbox to collect email address to win a prize. Physically writing your email on a scrap of paper is good enough verification for me.
I'll take the opinion of a fellow gun crazed right wing sycophant over the opinion of a self-righteous pompous moron who doesn't seem to know the difference between "then" and "than".
And if I *am* given the explosive test, then I run into the line behind me, kill a dozen people, and disrupt just as effectively as I would have had I done so in the air.
The dude is getting on a plate with the intention of blowing himself up - and you think he's going to reconsider because "he might get caught"?
Read his comment fully before you retort - you look like an idiot when you get upset at the first sentence, get pissed, and reply without ever reading the second.
I hope so. Last week, I sold off my holdings of 100 Bitcoins. If the thief sells off 500k BTC and crashes the market, I'll go take my USD2,400 that I've made from speculation and put it right back in.
You *can* mine, it just takes - on average - like 3 years to generate a block. As that difficulty is increasing with time faster than time is passing, you'll effectively never mine a block with the client. Nothing stops you from trying though.
Except for, you know, the sites that sell drugs in exchange for BTC. Like Silk Road, though I wouldn't trust it now that it has seen media attention. There are others.
Also, I applaud your use of "Imperial fuck ton". I typically use "metric fuck ton", but I suppose that's due to my surroundings. What is the conversion factor between Imperial and metric fuck tons?
First, an active insurgency in the US is nearly unimaginable today. I'm not whackjob, I see this.
That said, the last time this happened was the Civil War. The military was split along the same lines as the political structure - I see no reason why that would be different in a second conflict.
This, I'm not proposing that random civilians would be jumping in fighter jets - I'm proposing that active duty, reserve, and national guard units would defect to the side of the insurgents and bring their equipment with them.
Finally, finding people to operate weapon systems would be easy compared to finding people to keep them in working order, armed, and keeping those people supplied with parts and armaments. There would be a line for tank drivers and M249 gunners, but who the hell wants to join an insurgency and drive a semi around full of MREs and ammo?
Capitalism is one step removed from default state of an economic system, with a government placing minimal restraints on the use of force between private parties.
Imagining a "world without capitalism" is like imagining "math without zeroes".

Who would trust a Linux distro - even a LiveCD - claiming to be put out by Anon?

Yes.

I see what you did there.
So how about when a bank takes $100,000 on deposit, then loans out $500,000?
It's very easy to do. It's also fairly easy to do anonymously, and there are ways of shipping drugs securely as well.
How do you propose they stop inflation/deflation of a national currency?
There is a way, I'm just curious if you realize what you're proposing.

I find your ideas compelling, and would like to subscribe to your newsletter.

And I'll encrypt the damn wallet.

I love that in America, we build planes around guns.
Yeah, but we shoot back.

And most of the Founders agreed that such was inevitable, and an essential guard against an encroaching government.
Politics is a blood sport.
Unless the firmware is stored on volatile memory, so when the battery dies, the weapon is no longer functional...
That doesn't change anything - I compete in IPSC and IDPA. Nary a rifle to be found.

There is a saying that I've heard many times amongst the gun-loving crowd I hang out with:
"On the morning of the revolution, we'll all have bolt-action rifles. By the afternoon, we'll all have machineguns and fighter jets."
In other words, the spirit is more important than the equipment.
So, the pictures on my Facebook page of my competing in organized shooting competition makes me immodest and vulgar?
Can I get the address of these companies?
I'm guessing "pole", and deluding himself into thinking that the risks associated with that don't exist.

Perhaps this is my ignorance showing - but don't you have to send them the source code for review before you can be included in the AppStore?
I can't imagine that with all the talk about Apple's "secure, walled garden" app approval process, they don't do a source review.
