Don't know about tasting so called "protein" but this guy smeared his own shit on another guys face in CKY2K video. Can he one day repeat this prank on Gavin Andresen? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XTrllLbBA_g

As you cannot disprove the existence of another reality, or afterlife, it's quite obstinate to disregard the possibility.  Your lack of spiritual experience does not justify lack of spiritual existence.
I can't prove for 100% that parallel universes, afterlife or god does not exist. For believers this means that inability to disprove is a proof of existence by itself. Also with my best efforts I probably will not be able to prove that You are not retard or faggot. So for believers this means that You must be both of them, right?

There is a great difference between believing and knowing.

1504  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: What is the best client version so far? on: October 11, 2012, 07:36:45 PM
For me it is 0.3.21

Pros:
+ No forced transaction fees for tx over 0.01
+ Nice looking GUI
+ CPU and room heating feature a.k.a CPU mining is still there

Cons:
- rare DoS vulnerability
- rare bugs causing application to hang
- longer initial blockchain download

Using 0.4.1 right now but it sucks, it forces to add tx fee when sending new coins. Tx fee are bad when you are playing satoshi dice.
Does that version have the wallet encryption feature?  If not, how do you encrypt your wallet?  And why in the world would you need the CPU Mining option?  How many decades do you expect to wait to mine 0.00000001 BTC with CPU hashing power?  Huh
It does not have wallet encryption feature. And the feature of later versions are largely useless because the malware can easily intercept the passphrase protecting wallet. I encrypt my whole system disk with TrueCrypt in case if my computers gets confiscated or stolen. The CPU miner option are almost useless for mining bitcoins but it is a good to have it as a stability test because various CPU benchmark programs test only parts of CPU for overclock stability or to additionally heat room in cold winter days.

Even 0.7.0 still has CPU mining. Just not accessible through the GUI.
Was not it removed from code also in 0.5.0 version? I can't get it running trough bitcoin.conf since 0.5.0

You can't say that for certain.
According to known facts this is our best guess. You are not certain also that there are no gremlins hiding under your bed but the best guess is that there are none right now and most scientists will agree that there are no gremlins at all.

I was talking with plane pilots and they told me there is no man with white beard sitting on clouds and watching over us. They told that it would be aviation hazard. And also there is no garden up there, the thin atmosphere and cold would not allow for subtropical ecosystem to exist. The religion and books are completely wrong with this afterlife bullshit.

Multiverse theory. Astral planes. Quantum physics. Subjects that could easily explain a possible afterlife.
Even if multiverse theory is right, the various universes can not interact with each other by definition. They even most likely have different physical constants and are totally incompatible with our universe. And if other universes exist, why it will need to host soul of some jerk from planet earth when he dies?

Astral is completely out of question as it is not even scientific in any sense.

We don't know if brain functions in quantum level. Even if it does, what is the purpose of having immortal consciousness?

The afterlife is a invented fairy tale for cowardly people who just can't stand the fact that we are mortal, we have limited time to live and there is nothing to save us.
Why does there have to be a defined purpose? Isn't the universe rudderless according to you?

I don't think it is certain that our raw, perceiving consciousness is mortal. If our ability to perceive is quantifiable, then it can be replicated. Assuming an infinite universe, it is likely that our ability to perceive will take shape again through whatever means. If life can come from barren dirt, I believe we can find ourselves perceiving through another being and form once more. Maybe with no recollection but with a perception nonetheless.

This doesn't have to have a religious explanation. One only has to look at monkeys on typewriters and apply to it the mish-mash of matter and energy that is our universe.
Our universe as we know it is not infinitely old. Our universe is changing constantly. There is not enough time to get Bitcoin private key by means of brute forcing it, let alone every persons consciousness to be replicated in random.

I never claimed it was the afterlife. I only claim there is a consistent phenomenon. It can only be quantified as such at this moment.
For Bitcoins You can buy various phenomenas from Silk Road. If we somehow experience something it does not make things real. Drugs or coma - if someone is hallucinating it does mean they are hallucinating not visiting afterlife promised by god or pedophilic priest. The similarities in experiences in near death experiences means that the causing mechanism are similar in near death cases. Like similar drugs are causing similar experiences.

There is nothing better than Bitcoin.

Who cares if you are not vulnerable? I'm also constantly scanned and I don't even care. The bitcoins you might have on server are the ultimate prize everyone is after.
1512  Economy / Speculation / Re: If Butterfly Labs never delivers Bitcoin ASIC how this will afect Bitcoin price? on: October 11, 2012, 12:33:52 PM
The price wont be affected by ASIC. The price is only determined by what someone is willing to pay for it.
And also it is determined how many coins for what price are put to sale. If many people sell coins for cheap, the price falls. If the expectation is not fulfilled and people lose money to BFL scam, this will affect the price and quantity of coins put to sale.

From first time I seen Luke Jr picture I never get out of my head that guy from CKY videos are coding on Bitcoin. See it for yourself!

 
1514  Economy / Speculation / Re: Thoughts on mid term gain Litecoin v. Bitcoin on: October 10, 2012, 11:26:21 PM
I recommend Ixcoin over Litecoin.
1515  Economy / Speculation / Re: If Butterfly Labs never delivers Bitcoin ASIC how this will afect Bitcoin price? on: October 10, 2012, 11:21:05 PM
So then the most reasonable prediction is that price will remain the same. Because I'm almost certain that the ASIC will not come out, at least in near future and from them.

And how about miners who lost money on prepaid orders? Can they cause some action?

I remind that this is no thread about will the BFL deliver what is promised. This tread is speculation what will happen when the ASIC preorders are not fulfilled.
1516  Economy / Speculation / Re: If Butterfly Labs never delivers Bitcoin ASIC how this will afect Bitcoin price? on: October 09, 2012, 10:41:04 PM
FPGA are real but making code for FPGA is one thing, making ASIC is another. It is more like Visual Basic vs. ASM than Visual Basic vs C++.

The increase in difficulty will concentrate mined coins in fewer hands as GPU part of miners shut down so the question is what they will do with mined coins.

But my point is that BFL ASIC will be vaporware. They have nothing right now just a Solidworks rendering and a generic picture of silicon waffer.
1517  Economy / Speculation / Re: If Butterfly Labs never delivers Bitcoin ASIC how this will afect Bitcoin price? on: October 09, 2012, 08:31:26 PM
The question is not will BFL deliver ASIC in time or at all. I'm almost certain that they are a scam. This is not about development times or fab processes or possible performance or performance per used energy. The whole website looks like a scam. Just take a look for reverse search of this picture http://www.tineye.com/search/2603634f3c1cc35b20fab5492f65b3f63449790a/

The original question is about what will happen to price.
1518  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: worth the wait? on: October 09, 2012, 07:18:01 PM
Bitcoins will sure be worth more than 15$ in near future. Don't panic. Or panic and I will buy them for a even lower price!
1519  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Pruning - Is anyone working on its implementation? on: October 08, 2012, 10:11:48 PM
I still have more than 1TB left on volume where blockchain are located.

The full blockchain is required for miners and new nodes who want to download and verify the blockchain by themselves. OK, not so sure about miners because I have read they need the full blockchain but as I understand the miners can verify the transactions of unspent outputs from pruned blockchain too.
1520  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Hardware Bitcoin Wallet on: October 07, 2012, 12:45:24 AM
The payment address selection are still performed on computer before being sent to hardware wallet DERP!

Truecrypt and Bitcoin are different, but they both can be compromised with malware on computers they operate. The only way to protect the computer is - don't run any malicious or insecure code on it!
