Those who believe that Rand Paul is more socially conservative than Romney or just about any sitting Republican are quite ill informed.

He is likely more socially liberal than most Democrats.

can somebody explain what hackers have against Dotcom?

yeah, hes trying to profit off artists, but by making their music legally free

i always saw Dotcom as a 400 pound pirate who provided free online storage.. lemme know what im missing

They are hitting those who they believe would understand the steps to go ahead and get a large amount of BTC.

They went after Bit-Pay and BitInstant. They will go after you if you advertise having a lot of BTC.

10304  Bitcoin / Project Development / Bitcoin freelancer company? on: November 07, 2012, 09:30:01 PM
I was looking through Freelancer (http://www.freelancer.com/) and they have a ton of jobs.

Perhaps someone could create a site where you take the listings from freelancer and post them and display how much you will pay in BTC for the job. Then you submit the job on freelancer with the equivalent dollar price. Once it is complete, you pay the Bitcoin person in BTC minus your cut.

Some vetting and performance measures would be needed for new people applying for projects but using a single company name on freelancer would give more credibility towards the bids.

I believe that it is good to get the word out there on things you are working on. If you bring something up and someone else is already working on it or finished with it, then you need to decide if your solution is better/different or can compete.

It is also good to get a feel for enthusiasm behind projects and gauge what type of user base you may have once it is released. This could impact how much work you put into it. Of if there is no interest, perhaps put more effort into something that will get more use.

Keep up the good work.

Yup, we are under attack.

Who stands to gain from DDOS-ing bitinstant?   Huh

He sent us an email with a 10,000 BTC ransom.

Sorry to hear this.

I was just going to the page to check on the status of the Bitcoin card. Wink

So all I need to do these days to become the Hacker is register a domain name? Do I understand it correctly? Smiley

You also have to incorporate 1337 into something.

You have failed at your first hacker attempt.

Unlike me who is 1337.

see how it is done?
10309  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin model used for political & other elections on: November 07, 2012, 08:30:45 PM
its incredibly easy to vote over the internet. the real problem is that you are unable to ensure that people that vote are not under duress.

That is what I have always thought as well.

But with the amount of absentee ballots being used, they are under the same position.

I have one Elwar. While Obama is to the left of the NRA, he has not moved to limit gun rights. During the debates he was asked about gun policy and answered by saying that he is for enforcement of existing law and not interested in more laws. I think that is the same stance as the NRA.

The NRA is a club for hunters.

The Gun Owners of America actually work to protect our 2nd Amendment right to bear arms.

10311  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Colorado and Washington voters approve cannabis legalization (your move, feds) on: November 07, 2012, 06:40:03 PM
The interesting thing about Colorado is that the establishments selling the MJ will be state government facilities.

So the Feds would literally be attacking the states.

This should be interesting.


On the conservative side, do you defend states rights and say that those dispensaries should be able to sell pot?

On the liberal side, do you defend statism and say that the Federal government should be able to shut those shops down?
10312  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Way to go America...look at what you just did to us! on: November 07, 2012, 05:12:30 PM
. . .some aren't necessarily a bad thing.
For Romney or Obama?
I don't understand the question.  Are you asking who I voted for, or are you asking if some items on the list aren't necessarily a bad thing for one of the candidates.

The part about "Some of them are wrong, some are misleading"

All issues listed are true for both Mitt Romney and Barack Obama. Which are wrong or misleading?
10313  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Way to go America...look at what you just did to us! on: November 07, 2012, 05:09:35 PM
..... You voted Ron Paul and you think same-sex marriage is a bad thing? The constitution merely defines marriage as between a man and a woman it doesn't make it illegal for the same sex to marry.

Nah, I just threw that in there describing Mitt Romney's stances to piss off all of those Republicans who voted for him.

(many Republicans do not know that he passed same sex marriage when he was governor by executive fiat)

Anyone who prepares for zombies with guns is not only a threat to themselves but a threat to me as well.

Everyone knows that you have to cut a zombie's head off, so by shooting them and them staying alive to end up biting you and turning you into a zombie only adds to my effort in cutting off heads.

So please, buy a machete or an axe. Save us both the hassle.

If you examine it closely, every major societal control has been wrapped in racism:
Marijuana: Mexicans.
Cocaine: Blacks.
Marriage licenses: Blacks, later shifted from racism to gay-bashing.
TSA: Musims

Stop the hate, and government goes away.

Dank in 3...2...

I agree. Grouping ourselves based upon melanin is idiotic. I see it done on both sides.

I did.

I wrote in Ron Paul.

Supports same sex marriage
Is anti-gun rights.
Supported "Cap and Tax" as a way to fight global warming.

Phew! At least he's not ALL bad. Cheesy
News flash:
The developed world thinks US are retarded about their precious gun rights.
Same sex marriage is no big deal. Many hetero marriages are a sham anyway, only done for financial reasons, and it has been that way for centuries.
Global warming is a scam. If you can't fight it, you might as well put it to good use.

Passed socialized health care forcing people to get insurance at the point of a gun.
You seem confused. Many other threads have discussed the pros and cons of private vs social health care. Keep drinking the Aspartame Kool-Aid. Yes, your US healthcare is cheaper and more effective than all those horrible Communist systems in Europe and other parts of Africa. Wink

So you are saying that there is a place where all of the US liberals could go to obtain their utopias instead of transforming this country? (not that there is much left to transform, our Constitution is TP).

You may want to check your facts.  Some of them are wrong, some are misleading, and some aren't necessarily a bad thing.

For Romney or Obama?

Why is everyone so surprised at legalization of weed? This has been coming for a long time. Even my mother-in-law in Washington voted for legalization. The real question is "why was it ever illegal?"

The original social attack against marijuana came because Mexican workers would bring their strange plant with them from south of the border and with it being common among them and uncommon among Americans it was used as a way to attack Mexicans without outwardly attacking them.

Then in the 60s hippy generation Richard Nixon was doing everything he could do to prevent those "damned hippies" from holding their protests. He kept running into 1st Amendment issues and could not stop them.

Then he realized that marijuana was very popular among hippies and was an integral part of their protests. So he attacked and outlawed marijuana in the hopes of being able to send in police to break up these hippy gatherings.

And the rest was history.
