we had a kitchen fire last month. we are first floor apartment in a two family home. the house is about 100 years old. the kitchen in our apartment was redone approximately 20 years ago. the drywall isn't up yet, and after reading this thread i went and took a look at the wiring.
the wiring that existed prior to the fire, both to my apartment and the wiring traveling to the upstairs residence, as well as the new wiring installed by the contracter doing the repairs, is all 12 gauge.
too small a sample size to draw any conclusions, but there you go.

It's reasonable to assume that if any alternate currency were to really become popular it would get the negative attention of TPTB. Think about it: one day the USG starts to notice an unexplainable drop in revenue. They start digging to find out the cause of this anomaly and find a growing underground economy with a non-USD currency.
For crypto currencies, agencies with lots of computing power would become heavily involved in the effort to try to disrupt or destroy it.
It's what would happen if BTC really became mainstream.
i fully acknowledge that there may at some point be some negative attention given to bitcoin from the US government. i laugh at the idea that at this point, right now, bitcoin is seen as such a threat that billions are invested to "crush it". |

i don't understand the line of thinking. the US government could for all intents and purposes crush bitcoin with less funds, just manipulating the market and such, then with the funds required to build the computer hardware, man hour compensation, and electric consumption required to break encryption and use it in any way with enough breadth to damage bitcoin.
The line of thinking is that this hardware is targeted at AES, not SHA256, and as far as we know has nothing to do with Bitcoin at all. Not sure why OP thinks it is related. i would say its pretty obvious that the government and its agencies are far far more interested in communications than bitcoin. we might all love bitcoin, but there is a serious case of over inflating its importance to organizations outside our relatively small group. |

+ I also don't understand these stupid threads "Ask them to accept donations in Bitcoin"...
You can NOT force people to love you... The only way for anything to succeed is to become attractive enough, let's work in this direction and stop asking people to accept bitcoin into their lives. and what is more attractive then wide and diverse means of using bitcoin? the more places it is accepted, the more services and products you can exchange bitcoin for, the more attractive it is. what is your proposal for making bitcoin attractive enough? |

the difference between gold and bitcoin is that the global market and support system for gold is and has been in place for many many years, and its huge.
bitcoin is still fragile. if it doesn't continue to develop a strong business transaction base, and value transfer function, it will either fail, take considerably longer to increase in value, or stagnate.
businesses will be more likely to accept bitcoin when they see more bitcoin being spent. the more businesses accept bitcoin the easier it will be to spend bitcoin, which will increase the demand for bitcoin which will increase the price of bitcoin.
its a virtuous circle.
right now bitcoin is a niche at best and far from assured survival let alone considerable increase in value. it doesn't take a know it all to see that spending bitcoin is required to get it a stronger network, it just takes a little bit of understanding of human nature, a little business sense and a cursory understanding of economics.

So I'm guessing, based on the figures quoted, that those of you considering this have a price target of over $10/BTC ?
what math leads you there? |

!!! sorry, one of my midget terrorists gave me his bug and i'm a little jacked up on the cold meds. sloooooow on the uptake.
i'll assume "beating around the bush" was an unintended pun?

if anyone is interested, or possibly feeling intimidated by this chart, its been railed against and debunked across the net for years.
There's a chart? Is there one showing preferred sizes for women? I'm pretty sure that in this case bigger is not better, but would love to see a chart nonetheless. I wish I'd seen one for a couple weeks ago, for I was visiting this alpaca farm... ~Bruno~ you mean besides the one in the original post? i've not run across any other charts claiming to accurately represent all women's preferences, but i've seen this posted on various sites like jezebel, and read responses from women, and they think its ridiculous. just the idea that there is a consensus on preference is silly. ask 100 guys what size/shape butt they like and you'll get answers all over the board. ask 100 women what ANYthing they prefer and you'll get answers up and down the option list. I was in reference to the ideal size of a woman from a man's perspective, hence larger is not really better, unless you're RandyFolds and you'll take anything, then lie about the event while he and her were on some waterfall.  ~Bruno~ ah, well then you might actually like to know the chart in the op is from a mans perspective. one single dude with no statistical analysis on any data at all. guys get too hung up on the size thing. just wanted to curtail the potential ego bruising and anxiety silly things like this chart can lead too. |

I tried to make an animated gif by hand. %$&* that's hard. Took me over an hour to compose "Any questions?" Because of that I looked for a better way to slice and dice for animated gifs. Here is one I found: mplayer -ao null -loop 0 -ss 0:0:33 -endpos 2 some.avi This line tests the video file. mplayer -ao null -ss 0:0:33 -endpos 2 some.avi -vo jpeg:outdir=animated_gif This line makes the image stills of your video and saves to jpeg. there are online tools like gifninja that make it easy. |

1) can't get the windows client to work properly because i can't get logged in to create a key file. i try researching the issue on their site, and i seem to randomly get switched to the russian site, then when i hit the english option on the relevant page it brings me to the front of the wiki in english.
2) i was told i could move money from paxum to wmz, but i'm not seeing how.
any advice, assistance or opinion is welcome and appreciated.

i'm new to bitcoin so still learning. how are things like the progress bar usually addressed? is it community driven or does gavin get to decide whatever he wants?

Win64 is not, never has been, and is not planned to ever be, supported... Win32 builds should run fine, since Win64 isn't really pure 64-bit (it's hybrid; both 32-bit and 64-bit) [/quote] why? isn't bitcoin something that could really benefit from the jump to 64-bit? |
