That's why gold doubloon is king, always has been, always will be.
Nah. If you're planning for the collapse of civilisation - even temporary - bottled water, canned food, gasoline etc, are king. When the lights go out, gold will suffer just as much from superinflation as anything, but a can of beans will always be worth a day's food.
No point in planning for an apocalypse after which Walmart is still open, but only takes Krugerrand.
In states where it is legal for us to do our own growing; at that point weed will continue to be one of the big local currencies, as will physical labor and other favors (CGA is the order of the day, where C is cash, G is grass, and A is Ass (which can refer to other useful skills in trade in addition to giggity).
My initial reaction is that this is simply to skirt around zoning ordinances and property taxes.
It reminds me of a really neat property outside of town we were drooling at before moving back here a few years ago. The place had a very awesome looking "elevated" guest house about the same distance off the ground a tree house would have been, and it was declared a tree house instead of a guest house to keep the tax bill down from what we could determine.
That would explain why back in the late 70s, there were "Go Into Business for Yourself" ads in the comics for door to door selling of metal name plates to go on peoples' front doors with their SSN engraved on them. They also sold metal SSN wallet cards as well.
Yes, as a kid, I tried all of those schemes, from Sales Leadership Club to Grit; since we did not get an allowance in our family and otherwise just had to rely on finding and redeeming pop bottles and cans for the deposits (or going door to door in a fake bottle drive.)
I remember back in the days of Blockbuster and other video stores, when I wanted a membership, I would write in PRIVACY ACT in the area for SSN. No one ever denied me a membership because of that.
Are there really many 32bit systems being used in general purpose (workstation or similar) settings? I tend to come across 32bit boxes most often now as either embedded systems, mini servers (in low-demand applications), or various novelty / nostalgia applications. All of these could probably be better suited with a more specialized OS than Ubuntu that aims for the general populace. While it can make support a little more tricky (particularly if all your 64bit systems are Ubuntu) it is probably worth the effort. to switch.
Well, I have a neat little Atom based Netbook that I use as my inventory and library computer. It is technically a 64 bit system, but its specs are such where a 64 bit OS and 64 bit applications are just too damn slow, and the only drivers available were for XP and 32 bit Windows 7; so after trying various solutions (even both Debian and Ubuntu), I ultimately settled on 32 bit W7.
On another note, since I can't be arsed at the moment to check out the article, is it only ISOs they are discontinuing, or is it all paths to a 32 bit installation (like network based install from bootable media for example)?
This comes across as yet another scare article with the dual purpose of keeping the masses terrified of the world around them and to hopefully sell this new product that is coming out.
So it looks like many iPhone users are just going to have to keep using their current phone that they probably just recently upgraded to just a little longer then. Oh noes! How horrific!
Or perhaps this will get at least a few off the constant upgrade treadmill at last when they realize the world didn't end just because they can't get the latest shiny nao.

It just goes to show that...
Cash is still king.
Grass is keen.
Ass is queen.
Sure they did - the whole "I'm the only one that works hard around here" syndrome.
If your father had time to keep tabs on how much or little the other guys were working, then he wasn't working very hard himself.
Are you so feeble minded that you can't occasionally take note of the goings on around you without breaking your work stride?

But are any of those three still in orbit? That was the jist of the article, oldest scientific satellite still in orbit.
The article is about the oldest scientific satellite still in orbit. I don't think Sputnik 1 is still up there.
Meh, 80's kid me understood that IRC was more than good enough for chatting.
(Cue 70's kid's perspective)
Just imagine a Beowolf cluster of Slashdots.
End of line...
This. SSNs were never intended to be secret.

Still, as an aside; that is one gorgeous bird.
There has been no historical or archeological evidence found that the Egyptians ever enslaved the Jews.

Or if you can't afford to buy him an obnoxiously loud Harley, he can learn to be bike curious at home at the least.
And sure, the future can be shiny and exciting. But how about everyone slow down for a bit and enjoy the present first?
Why only 99%? If the software is FOSS, then the protection should be 100%, no less.
What the fuck, dude? Are you really advocating that ISIS be given protection as a religious group?
Fags? What do obnoxiously loud Harley owners have to do with this?

Or we may be the most advanced civilization in our galactic neighborhood, and we are closer to being able to detect them than the other way around.
Oops. I think my sarcometer was a bit off that day. Yeah, that's it. :D
You do know that dot on the forehead is actually their shutdown button, right? :D
Just can't recall if that was South Park, Family Guy, or American Dad (and can't be arsed to go look it up right now). :)
