What is the value of the math itself as opposed to the value of the gold represented by real-world currency?
At its very core, the ENTIRE concept of crypto-currency boils down to saying, "It would be pretty cool if we could make this work." And yes, it would. But that alone doesn't give it intrinsic value, and it doesn't give it the critical mass it requires to be considered a true currency on a level with the dollar, euro, yen, hell even the bolivar is more of a real currency - although for how long is debatable, true.
I heard recently that one of the biggest museums in my country have serious problems with storage of art pieces not currently on display, to the point that valuable paintings are literally ROTTING UP in the basement.
A private collector who just bought a rarity for over a million dollars is very likely going to take GOOD CARE of his rarity.
Spooner: Human beings have dreams. Even dogs have dreams, but not you. You are just a machine; an imitation of life. Can a robot write a symphony? Can a robot turn a... canvas into a beautiful masterpiece? Sonny: [with genuine interest] Can you?
I would assume that a fly is not smart enough to see from a distance whether something is natural fur and hide or an impenetrable blanket, so the scientists likely kept a close eye on the horses to see how many flies TRIED to bite them.
That is what it MEANS, yes. But etymology refers to where words and phrases originally come from; it is entirely possible that such a phrase only becomes popular as archaeologists start indexing ancient clay and stone tablets and the like rather than being passed down through the ages since Babylon.
Do tell us more about this synthesized sperm you ejaculate into your rape victims or the synthesized skin you put under your murder victim's fingernails after scraping your real skin out.
The last time this happened was while the world was in a complete panic over the Y2K doomsday prophecies, and you're telling me that new GPS units made since then STILL do not have a way of handling this?!
Popularity with (young) adults and spread are very closely related in this case.
Consider also that the kids with a NES in the late 80s were, perhaps, ten years old on average. A decade later they don't want to give up their gaming habits, so the Playstation isn't just seen as something for adults - it's just the next console for the generation ALREADY GAMING.
Are you saying that stress makes jobs magically appear once the stress hits a certain threshold?
Which threshold is that? When you can't pay for medicine? When you can't pay for food every day? Every other day? When you can't pay rent? When you have to tell your kids that there'll be food two days from now, HONEST?
But why lock him up for ten years instead of trying to have him be part of society? It's not like he killed or maimed someone, he took some NUMBERS that a bunch of people claim have value - originally based on some guy (whose identity is still a mystery) saying, "Because I say so."

If it's so easy, share the necessary networking code here.

Real-world currencies were originally backed by gold reserves and evolved from there.
Cryptocurrencies were originally backed by geeks going, "It'll be the next big thing!" and haven't evolved yet.
I would be fine with the updates if they weren't multiple gigabytes - there's such an incredible amount of waste of bandwidth in having Windows 10.
It sounds more likely that mulatto and mule are siblings in language rather than parent-child, ie. both originating from the same root.
They are aware of all of that.
They are also aware that they won't make money by calling the cryptography the 53rd greatest invention of the 20th century.
Nor should you equate private = bad care, which is what the GP was doing.

How would you know whether another person actually appreciated beauty, or if he/she was just saying the words?

I wonder who the sole heir is.
How long until 4chan weaponizes this with a comment posting script to attack ALL of Youtube at once?
Random video, random comment from random account containing a bunch of random keywords. BOOM.

I have here this tiger-repelling rock. You know it works because there are no tigers around.

Or maybe, just maybe, not everyone reads every comment to every article.
I have no idea what's so special about San Jose, Palo Alto? Is Trump from there? Is that what the joke is about?
Way to blame the victim for being bullied, Anonymous Coward.

Are there Paragon points?
Do Medpacks have a buy/sell value?
Do Medpacks replenish if you run out completely?
Do I have a two-digit number of Medpacks?
How much money and loot does he have?

Oh look at the little AC who doesn't understand the psychology of writing news articles.
Read the summary very carefully. The ONLY company that doesn't get a list or a number of languages is Microsoft. How come?
