That didn't take long: https://forums.butterflylabs.com/bfl-forum-miscellaneous/690-13-jan-2013-asic-update-discussion-thread-5.html#post10399Another delay we've had to endure is the fact that we have effectively tied the ASIC teams payment to the success of the chip. If the chip were to be a failure they don't get paid... so they have incentive to get it right but that has made them very cautious and slow to approve final masks (This is why we can refund all pre-orders we want and why we have the capital to do what we need to do without a failure putting us in bankruptcy). I'm pretty sure that's what creativex was eluding to. |

He mentioned that they only get paid when delivering a working product.
I thought it was in reference to the FAB. I'll hunt it to give everybody piece of mind. |

The packages were taken to the Post Office with a moped, they were small and didn't have that much of a dollar value attached, at least not the value Avalons carry.
Where is that "moped" part coming from? ngzhang has posted that he drives CIVIC (I presume Honda) and posted the over-the-dashboard shots of the traffic jam in Beijing.  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=51371.msg645006#msg645006Was the "moped" part just a putdown or did ngzhang really had to pawn his car to keep the business afloat? Let's play Hunt the Honda:  |

Have at me! I might as well be the first one to get stones thrown at.

It looks like your face caught on fire and someone tried to put it out with a fork. At least I don't walk around all day with my mouth wide open hope some rooster comes along. BTW, I'm formally requesting that my face be removed from this forum. You have 24 hours to comply.  |

Quick aside, yet on-topic: Today, I'm a great-uncle--again! A baby shower was planned for today, but canceled due to the pending ice storm heading our way from KC, couple with my niece delivering the 0.39285714 stone, 1.813 megalithic yard, baby boy early this morning. At no time during the pregnancy was there an iota of talk of her aborting, always wishing her a healthy baby (which he is) and hopefully she's able to go full term (+2 weeks early), for she miscarried two prior. The father is a cool dude, smokes a little dank (niece doesn't partake), but has held the same job for over eight years. Before anybody ask, no, I'm not planning on taking him bowling once his weight increases threefold.  Congratz  Thanks, bud. I think I saw another gray hair in my beard. If it happened today, is an abortion justified?: http://fubini.swarthmore.edu/~WS30/WS30F1998/nrosado3.htmlShe was a Quaker. The wife of a merchant. The infertility patient of Dr. William Pancoast. She was a woman whose name was never recorded.
Dr. Pancoast, a professor at Jefferson Medical College in Philadelphia, had already examined and tested her numerous times. Finally, he discovered that she was fertile and that the problem was her husband¹s;; There were no sperm. Pancoast (or maybe it was one of his students) had an idea. He called her in. He just wanted to examine her once more, he told her.
The woman lay on the table as she had been told to do. Pancoast¹s six medical students-all young men- stood around her body. Pancoast anesthetized the woman with chloroform. He took the receptacle into which one of his students had masturbated. With a hard rubber syringe, he inserted the student¹s semen into her uterus. He then plugged her cervix with gauze.
When she awoke, he did not tell her what he had done. He never told her. Nine months later, she bore a son. It was 1884. This was the first reported human artificial insemination with donor semen. It was a rape. |

I'm surprised nobody did it before I. I even got a new foreign language word due to the new addition. |

Time for a new foreign word. EDIT: Guess not, since http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tagalog_language. Also, CO is...: In Japan and the Philippines the name is written as Kyo and Co/Ko. |

The onus of proof is on you, since Butterfly Labs has delivered in the past. I think a better example is warranted when it comes to ASIC vendors. |

Rumor has it, in The Netherlands, they, too, count bongs. |

One final word before calling it a night. |
|
|
|
A member of my family had a couple abortions due to financial reasons at that particular time in her life.
Personally, I believe it's fine for rape and incest victims, as well as for those who know for certain the fetus will be deformed if born. Also, if the life of the mother is on the line late in the pregnancy, but sometimes the baby will be saved and sacrifice the mother, though rare.
On the whole, I'm against it, but like I've stated above, some instances make it set okay with me.
so you're a middle road; no strong principles in the abortion area Basically, yes, though I lean toward it being immoral, but hold back judgement on those going the clothes hanger route. I've viewed videos where it's shown done, and it's not a pretty site. The fetus is torn apart, and you can see life trying to save itself. And that's during the first trimester. |
