I'd sell you a 2x large pizzas. But sadly, you don't have enough, going rate is 10k BTC.  |

If you're looking for donation ideas, I know a retired, older gentleman in dire need of financial assistance to a recent series of strokes.
You could also make my friggin' year by sending 22 BTC that I lost on a defaulted loan :\
Or...
1) Invest a few hundred BTC's and start a Groupon-like business for Bitcoin.
2) Cashout 5-10% and invest in high-yield dividend stocks and retirement funds.
3) Invest another 100-200 BTCs and buy a rental property or two. Fix 'em up and lease them out for a nice stream of subsidiary income.
4) Buy a few intrinsically-valuable pleasure items. For myself, I would buy either a new car since I spend 3-5 hours per day in one, or maybe a room full of new music equipment. Identify some ways to spend a little money to significantly improve your quality of life.
5) Donate to a person/group in need; there are tons to choose from.
6) Cash out 10-20% to diversify and stay liquid.
7) Create a nice cold-storage nest egg for yourself.
Option 4 gives you a 10% ROI assuming almost nothing goes wrong and you don't have to fix anything in the building ever. Option 7 is just straight up retarded. It cost $5 for a VPS. 2x VPSes with rsync running as a cron job. Done. Maybe amazon glacier if he wants to backup his data long term. Saying option 7 is retarded is a bit like the pot calling the kettle black. Paper wallets and physical coins exist for a reason, and it isn't a retarded one. And I think you meant option 3 not option 4 when referring to 10% ROI. Yes, I did mean option 3. And option 7 is really stupid. You're trusting a cloud provider with a private address that contains over a million dollars. All it takes is one security breach, and bye bye cash. Sure, you can encrypt it, but if you can memorize a long passkey, you can just create a mind-wallet and store that information in your head. Honestly, you're better off creating a copy of the public / private key and sticking it in a bank vault (paper key), rather than storing stuff online. |

2800 BTC? How about doing a little contest? I would love to have 1 BTC, because that way I can restart my faucet and buy a small 3D printer. I would use the printer to print custom requests (for BTC) and make Bitcoin trinkets, which I will give away, to spread awareness.  Man, you're suppose to manipulate him! Instead of bitcoin related stuff, you should be promising to print out Jesus related things -- little guys on crosses, and shit. Haven't you been to psych 101? |

also xbox 360.
off topic:
pirated pc versions seem to have a hidden bitcoin miner according to rumors
Correction: some of the pirated versions have a miner. Exactly what I was going to say. The one with the binded miner took a legit copy (well, a non-infected copy), and added a miner to it. He wasn't a highly rep'd person even, just people are pretty dumb when it comes to downloading random .exe files. |

Check out Coursera.
Recently watched a TED talk about scaling education -- how universities are trying to make the cost of a class the same (rather it's 10 students in the class or 10000000 students). This way, they can offer the class to thousands of students at a very, very reduced cost.
Personally, I'm attending WGU. It's a pay-per-semester university rather than pay-per-course. So, the harder you work at it, the more value you get from it.

Maybe we just stop this madness now and admit that women have no chance winning against men. Physique of a man is far superior afterall. Even in sports like car racing or horse racing...
Women are better at a lot of things than men. It's just men tend to be more competitive in a lot of regards. There aren't really any competitive caregiver events  Men would still win. As I said, men are a lot more competitive. They'd try to optimize and maximize the sport. Personally, I hate game-shows because of this. People gaming the system rather than just having fun. (Honestly, Japanese Game Shows are best because of this -- watch 24 hour endurance tag, I bet you WILL laugh). If I play, I play to win. Even if I'm just playing for fun and don't care about the result I try to win. I just won't care if I lose then. You're a male. I think biologically, that's what we're programmed to do. Win at all cost. If we're better than the man beside us, we're a better mating partner, right? |

Honestly -- my dream job is to be unemployed. Anything I try to do, I optimize it and take it to the max. I always try to be the best, so being unemployed it the only way to prevent from being the best.

Pour commencer tu peux télécharger quelques filmes français avec des sous-titres en français et voir si tu comprend un peu.
Quelques exemples (complétement au hasard) que j'ai aimé et qui me paraissent simple à comprendre :
-l'auberge espagnole
-jeune & jolie
-9 mois ferme
-intouchable
-paris (klapisch)
-les femmes du 6e étage
Sinon je doute que quelqu'un ici te donne des cours de français privé via skype.
Grand. J'ai bien aimé un film français J'ai regardé il ya quelques années, mais je n'ai jamais vraiment poursuivi ce genre d'intérêt. J'ai regardé les sous-titres, et n'ai vraiment pas ramasser tout de la langue. |

In french please, in french ;-)
J'ai dit:. "J'aimerais apprendre à la fois je suis déjà partie de Duolingo, mais j'ai l'impression après que j'ai rempli toutes les leçons, ça va s'estomper Aussi, je ne suis pas sûr si je prononce les mots. la façon dont ils sont en réalité «supposer» doit être prononcé ". do you want to learn to speak, read/write or both?
I'd love to learn both. I'm already part of duolingo, but I have a feeling after I complete all the lessons, it'll wear off. Also, I'm unsure if I'm pronouncing words the way they are actually 'suppose' to be pronounced. |

Bonjour, Je voudrais apprendre le français couramment, et je me demandais si quelqu'un était intéressant me tutorat / juste avoir des conversations avec moi. Actuellement, je suis en utilisant un traducteur à ce poste, car il serait probablement me prendre quelques heures de recherche des mots pour décrire la situtation. Désolé si le traducteur ne traduit pas tout correctement. Je parle actuellement que l'anglais. Si vous apprenez l'anglais vous-même, cela pourrait être un oppertunity parfait pour nous deux. Merci Edit: Désolé, je ne suis pas sûr si cela est encore permis. Si non, s'il vous plaît laissez-moi savoir! |

Part of nature.
People eat cow and pig everyday. The condition they live in is horrible.
There isn't much you can do unless you can convince people to convert to vegetarian.
Not so much different than bird eats bird world.
But corn can scream. Who will save the corn? Killing plants is MURDER! Might as well just eat rocks, right? But corn can't scream; it's no more sentient than the rocks in my driveway. ) It's a lot more sentient than the rocks in your driveway. If I were you, I'd keep an eye on them rocks.  LOL! There're out to get me man. Actually that photo reminds me of this XKCD.  |

User profile here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=119420He literally created a new account and started bitching about the staff here. I think the staff were just doing their jobs, and there's absolutely no reason they should be taking any heat / have to deal with the guy. (Thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=625540.0 ) Honestly, it seems as though he was spamming just for his signature campaign. I think restarting him on a new account would really humble him down, and give him one more chance for a 'productive account'. If he were to abuse that chance, just block him entirely from the site (IP ban him). Maybe allow him to keep his Pobre account, but not allow him to continue on the signature campaign? I'm not sure, but I believe that the staff are way, way, way too forgiving for this sort of attitude. I don't want power hungry / evil staff members, but at the same time -- being able to literally create an account insulting a staff member directly AFTER a ban is a really just being a pushover. |

I keep seeing sales of MSDN keys, which are technically the exact same as pirated keys (both violate Microsoft's TOS / EULA) and fall into the copyright infringement part. I was wondering if this is actually allowed, or if the mods haven't gotten around to removing the posts? I honestly don't know what's okay to list as an item and what's not. I mean, the next things that come to mind are cracked / hacked accounts (paypal / btc-e / etc...) or credit card numbers / ssns / etc... Edit: Nevermind, found the rules, locking this thread to prevent spam. I'll report all those posts I see: 1. Trading of goods that are illegal in the seller's or buyer's country is forbidden. 3. To prevent illegal trades involving hacked accounts, there are special restrictions when selling accounts and invites for invite-only sites. See https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=134779.0 |

Hmm, not quite. They just to peddle their security appliances and other pieces of software to make people feel safe. Security is like an onion. There's layers to it. End-point detection is just another layer. It's silly to say "oh, well, this layer's not super thick, let's remove it". |
