How about cross-checking the site itself? Swiftcointalk consists (almost?) entirely of posts by the administrator, which are all plagiarised from other sources.

Nobody said anything about a synchronous orbit, or even a singular satellite. The plan actually involves a constellation of multiple satellites.

The problem with streetlights (indeed, most artificial lighting) is that their light is omnidirectional. Since these satellites are mirrors reflecting sunlight in a narrow beam, they won't be visible at all outside the intended area of illumination.

I mean, it's still a crazy idea, but not quite as crazy as one might expect for something conceived of by a Bond villain.

I know this is just a spam thread, but I simply must take the opportunity to expound upon the benefits of oxidane. This much-maligned industrial chemical is literally the most important substance on Earth. Virtually every industry uses oxidane in some capacity; indeed, it is no exaggeration to say that without oxidane, life as we know it would be impossible. Unfortunately, 97.5% of the world's natural deposits of oxidane are too heavily contaminated with impurities to be industrially or commercially useful. It is therefore critical that governments employ all practical measures to secure our oxidane supply infrastructure. This should be our top priority as a society.

Even aspirin?

Do me! And, if it's not too much to ask, the members of the Vulpine Order of Merit whom you haven't already done or are going to do (Jet Cash, achow101, gmaxwell, and o_e_l_e_o). I'm interested to know if my high expectations for the Order are justified.

It's explained in the very next sentence. "When several nodes all have the same blocks in their block chain, they are considered to be in consensus." Blocks that are not validated by nodes are not part of the consensus blockchain. Full nodes do store the entire blockchain, to the extent that it consists entirely of validated blocks, at the exclusion of all invalid blocks (which are not part of the blockchain and never will be, despite what some people seem to think).

Posts that violate the rules may be deleted, along with the associated activity points. If in this way a user's activity is reduced below the minimum required for their rank, they will automatically lose that rank as well. In fact if you lurk in Meta enough you'll see the occasional spammer complaining that they've lost rank after having their posts deleted, though not nearly as many as those complaining that they've been banned outright.

A risky choice, since it contains an all-enveloping deadly mist! (Open with care.)



The latest development from the Monsanto company, this versatile product is guaranteed to kill insects, vermin, glyphosate-resistant weeds, figs, and certain strains of the common cold virus. It is slightly less guaranteed to be harmless to humans and other large mammals. Use only in a well-ventilated area. Do not use if you are pregnant, trying to get pregnant, or trying to get others pregnant. Deadly mist is derived from 100% natural and organic plant-based toxins.

Hilariousetc is getting very close!

You lose! The sixth member of the Vulpine Order of Merit (and the second non-Legendary one) is o_e_l_e_o!

One of the few sane people in the asylum that is Politics & Society, valiantly struggling to stem the tide of ignorance, stupidity, and downright craziness that flows so freely there. Such efforts deserve to be rewarded, even if they are ultimately futile, which is why o_e_l_e_o is no longer a mere Senior Member; the illustrious title of Member of the Vulpine Order of Merit precedes that rank.

You know what to do!

Yes, real medicine can often cure the problems caused by fake medicine, but that doesn't make using fake medicine a good idea, any more than the existence of antivenom makes snake handing a good idea.

It is sad (but somehow not surprising) that your 20,000th post would be "read the rules". Is this what this forum has come to?

"Earning" means you work for a living. But you don't. You steal the work of others that you may be paid without having to work yourself. Stealing is a bad way to make a living, partly for legal and ethical reasons, but mostly because you will eventually get caught and lose everything you have gained, and you'll get no sympathy from anyone when you do. Let this be an expensive lesson for you.

Don't be ridiculous. Since you didn't steal something as valuable as a candy bar, but merely another person's copyrighted work, the maximum penalty (in the US, where this forum is based) is only 5 years in prison. And a $250,000 fine. Given that posts on this forum are monetised, it's probably only a matter of time before people actually start suing for commercial copyright infringement. Maybe they already have, but theymos is just keeping quiet about all the subpoenas.

Most people's mistakes don't result in a violation of international law. A permanent ban is actually a very light sentence, but one that should be sufficient to cause you to re-evaluate the choices that led you to persue a life of crime.

I think す (su) means "to do", and 横浜 (よこはま, yokohama) means "Yokohama". Do Yokohama.

Same as what's wrong with plutonium-powered cars: the technology is sound, but the social consequences are not. In much the same way as it would be somewhat undesirable for terrorists to be able to purchase plutonium at AutoZone, there are certain people who might find that powdered alcohol is more usefully added to other people's drinks than their own.

What, did you think nobody would find it buried in all your bounty spam?

If anyone's paying him, they're clearly not getting their money's worth. I wouldn't worry about it too much.

EDIT: Typo

Seeing everything as blurry is a medical condition; it's called blindness. You should consult an ophthalmologist for proper diagnosis and treatment, as your self-diagnosis seems to be... not entirely grounded in known medical theories of vision disorders.

RFIED chips? I'm guessing Syria.
