I can get on board with this logic. However it seems like you are tap dancing a fine line of ideology vs. reality here.
Since we are talking about NN and cable companies/ISPs. Are you also saying that you don't believe that cable companies and ISPs like Comcast are not using monopolistic...
Unfortunately as you can see by the trend of click-bait news with a political slant on the mainpage, this site is losing its identity as a tech site. This is drawing in non-tech arguments and non-tech people making those arguments.
Kyle had something great here, but I think it is getting...
You are correct, if I am not home at the time, or in the back yard, then no it will not help. But isn't this the same is arguing that since it might not work 100% of the time, why bother? It seems you are countering your own argument
1 nobody is arguing not to do those things, everyone is...
Wow, I never thought of those two things together. I wonder if they realized how badly they were botching their own efforts.
I bet this is a case of the right hand not knowing what the left hand was doing.
Yea yea, you posted a knee-jerk glib response without thinking it through all the way... I'll bite.
I hope to never ever fire one of my guns in my house. But, my house is ready if I have to. Consider it the last step in a layered deference.
Also your house is never 100% secure... and even...
From what I have been able to find, viewership of NFL games is down year over year, but not as much as cable in general. I also found a few articles where the NFL is trying to reach the ever growing cable-cutters. I assume this is part of that effort.
Attendance on the other hand doesn't seem...
Bullshit, you never said any of that stuff because you never thought it., and none of your arguments was about this at all. You're looking for any kind of semblance justification that maybe just possibly you may be technically correct on one of your many posts.
I understand that it feels...
That's exactly what I don't understand. If all transactions are traceable, it seems people can get their currency back. However, if it is untraceable, then who would continue to buy a flawed currency, hence driving the value of said currency to zero.
Either way, I don't see how the...
I am confused.... if someone stole ALL of those coins, how can they still have any value?
As in, who puts that much value into a fatally broken system AFTER it is proven to be broken?
Ultima99 - You keep strangely arguing that somehow the guy who wrote the letter was not qualified to do so. The proof is in the letter itself. Everything he wrote before I am an engineer is sound. Matter of fact, the ONLY reason they attacked the 'engineer' part is because they knew he had...
There is a special subset of the bitcoin community that latch on because of their anti-government stance. You can recognize them when they scream "fiat currency" at seemingly random times. I cant wait to see how they reconcile the irony of the government's protection of crypto-currency by...
Isn't this sense fairness they are trying to install basically the same as teaching to the back of the class?
Moreso, why is Microsoft going along with this. You would think they would support the imbalance as it would encourage the slow console owners to upgrade their shit.
I wish you all the luck in the word with your investment choices, prepper. But before you go all sovereign citizen on us, you may want to do some due diligence on gold prices and trends before sinking your nest egg into single pot-o-gold.
I would hate to see another fine fiat fearing person...
I think you are reading my reply a bit out of context, but fair enough, I did literally say that.
The person I was quoting was trying to imply that there would be no tax burdens for trading currencies and saying bitcoin should act like that. I was agreeing with his conclusion in a bit of...
While I admire you cute attempt to make this a liberal thing so we continue to talk about every fucking topic along political party lines, I think your brain is a bit stunted by this practice. This has nothing to do with liberalism or politics at all. Where are you getting this "trades as...
