Hey guys this is my first board post and I appreciate any feedback or suggestions! (...)
I haven’t seen anything like this and I find it to be so much easier to look at.
I spent an enormous amount of time on this so give it a shot.
I am hoping someone will get some use out of it.
Awesome! Thanks. Will this work in LibreOffice? Oh, and welcome to bitcointalk!  |

Any way we can get bitcoinica's spread into sierracharts too?
That would be awesome. Slush?  |

DON'T promote us Screw that, I'm going to promote you a little, hope you don't mind!  Read this post by OP: http://www.casinomeister.com/forums/blogs/jstrike/286-how-start-casino-lose-money.htmlFor all the press it's gotten, Bitcoin still hasn't really taken off. It spent the first four months being dragged through the mud, falling from $32 to $2 right after I roped my little brother into this and we opened our site. One day it was the darling of the tech media, the next day it was a punchline. Now it's creeping back. I had bought a few thousand dollars in Bitcoin to have on-hand for our opening, but I managed to sell most of them off in time, and by trading everything in and out of USD since then I've kept it so the hit from that wasn't nearly as bad as it could've been. But a lot of people with a lot of Bitcoins lost a fortune, and by September no one was holding it. Much less gambling with it. Only in the last month or so, since it crept back up to the $5-6 range, is business starting to pick up a little. Things were dead quiet from September 'til around Christmas.
Anyway, I thought I'd share the results of my little experiment. Keep in mind this doesn't include the external costs -- I spent 3 years programming it on my own time, then about $7k before opening it, plus $15k in for the initial float, and I've dropped $8,019.33 on servers and other bills since it opened. But I was ready for that. This is, I guess, the world's most expensive hobby after gambling itself. If I was a little crazier I could have bought a house boat and a year's supply of canvas, paint, absinthe and razor blades. But what I spent is peanuts next to an operator who needs to rent software from someone else.

When all is said and done, this may well be remembered as the second Bitcoin bubble.

New Scientist, 17 January 2012 - Magazine issue 2847:
Bitcoin online currency gets new job in web securityIT HAS been a rocky year for Bitcoin, the online peer-to-peer currency, with the exchange rate soaring from a few cents to over $30 per coin before crashing after a string of thefts, hacks and other setbacks.
Coins have since regained a value of around $5. But it is becoming clear that the software could prove at least as useful as the currency itself, underpinning a number of important new technologies.

someone in tv production bought a holding and are trying to pump the price, perhaps?
From a plot/writers perspective: - Our protagonists are lawyers.
- We identify with our protagonists, therefore they must be the good guys.
- Necessarily our client, Mr. Stack must be a good guy, since he is in league with us.
- Since Mr. Stack is in league with us, and thereby a good guy, he must be innocent.
- Therefore Bitcoin is good and innocent.
The government is going after Mr Stack, an ALLY of ours. (Grrr! They must be... the enemy!) tl;dr: Lawyers are the good guys, therefore their client is a good guy, therefore he is innocent, therefore Bitcoin is all good and light. |

I'm wondering: Are these hits coming from the Good Wife viewership, OR perhaps bitcoin nerds getting all excited in anticipation?  I also visited that page yesterday. (For the first time in a good while.) |

 Significant, yet perhaps underwhelming? |

Why aren't you lot confused to hell by any of the obvious, fatal, non-recoverable problems with astrology? So close to zero that we can't even see the the stars that are millions of light years away.... oh wait.
So... Does astrology only work during the night? When you're looking? How do the stars, err, planets know what you've been doing throughout the day? How do you know in advance which excuses to make for why the dragon in your garage can not be seen? http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/The_Dragon_in_My_GarageBesides, I'm not talking light years.... once again I'm only looking within our solar system.
But wait... Why these planets, not others! There are likely billions of planets in the Milky Way alone! (Not to mention stars in the Universe.) What about the ones you didn't count, does astrology disregard objects on the southern hemisphere, only visible from Australia, where astrology wasn't invented, and if so does astrology work in the Middle East, India, the US, but not Australia? Why? PS: Generally we can only see "close" stars that are some several hundred lightyears distant. (Still hugely impressive in my opinion. Astronomy is fun!) |

I'm guessing elux is either Aquarius or Pisces or right on the cusp between. Possibly Libra or Virgo.
You'd be wrong, as could be expected with probability 2/3. You've now exhausted 4/12 options. You'll have have equal probabilities of getting it right by random chance in two more tries. |

Emotions are not, could not be, in any way influenced by the stars. Even if you believe they are.
How exactly do you know this? Good question! On reading my own comment, I realize I have made my self look quite silly. I have many times found myself awestruck by the beauty of a starry night, or the discoveries of astronomy. So in this sense, emotions can be influenced by stars. That said, there are (at low temperatures) four forces in nature, precisely accountable for everything that has happened since the beginning of time. The electromagnetic force. (Makes object solid, light, radiation.) The strong nuclear force. (Keeps the nuclei of atoms from imploding or blowing apart.) The weak nuclear force. (Breaks down heavy, unstable atoms through radioactive decay.) Gravity. (Keeps shit together, mostly.) The strength of interactions generally decrease with distance to zero long, long, very much earlier indeed before we get to astronomical distances. There is no measurable effect. If astrology worked as proposed it would be measurable. Excepting side effects that would literally destroy the Universe. |

I believe that if the astrology I believe in were true, the world would look exactly as it does.
NO! No it would not! Everything discovered in the sciences since Aristotle would be a lie. The laws of nature are laws, not whims. Astrology cannot work some of the time, it has to work it had to work all of the time, for all of the people. As far as I'm concerned, I'm merely looking at the current position of the heavenly bodies near me in space and filtering that through my initial impressions from my strongest early memory: birth.
Heavenly bodies are VERY FAR AWAY. A lightyear is ten trillion kilometers. Their influence is strictly limited to light and gravity. An apple in a nearby tree will influence you to a much stronger degree than the faraway lumps of rock, or unimaginably distant lumps of mostly hydrogen. Aha! Make horoscopes based on apples, not stars! (It works equally well, no better, no worse.) By learning to feel the energies within your body, one can even learn to recognize their motions without looking up the chart.
Those energies are commonly called emotions. Emotions are created in the brain. Emotions are not, could not be, in any way influenced by the stars. (Even if one believes they are.) However, personally I'm not that finely tuned yet and often turn to calculations to help me decipher the energies I'm being exposed to.
That is the emotion of confusion. You cannot go on believing wrong things and expect your brain not to be confused about it. |

I do hold beliefs out of faith... my point is so do you. There are no beliefs that don't require faith.
Definition of faith: Complete trust or confidence in someone or something.
So either, you have faith, or you don't have complete confidence in anything.
Do you have faith, or is it possible that the sun isn't the center of the solar system? You can only choose one by the dictionary definition of faith.
1: "Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it does not go away." 2: "That which can be destroyed by the truth should be." 3: It is true that the center of the Sun is not the exact center of the solar system, only very nearly so! Why should we believe this? Well, it is effected by the gravity of the orbiting Earth, Jupiter, comets, planets, planetesimals, and Russel's teapot and other objects therein contained. Yet the center of the sun is nearly the center due to the immense mass of the sun compared to the rest. Updating the heliocentric model of reality on this new knowledge I could, and did in fact discard my (slightly) wrong, imprecise heliocentric worldview in favor of a similar-but-better, more accurate model of the solar system. The map is not the terrain, perfect in every detail. But a map of reality should look like reality, rather than it's alternatives. Now, what would the world look like if astrology was true? |

Astrology is insanity, and this is not the right forum for it.
Please move this superstitious nonsense to "Off-Topic".
