No doubt that they have also filed patent applications that they will claim gives them domain over any transactions with one or more end-points located off-earth.

While the official Monumental Asshole badge is being designed, use this one:
The badge will be a crypto-badge with its own block chain, right?  That of course means we would need some assholes to mine the badges.  I mean people have to work for their badges, you can't just pull them out of ... wherever.

I think you'd get a lot more traction with "Bankers hate Bitcoin".  Maybe with a smaller tagline "What's not to love?"

Link to more information on Quick Fund Exchange please.

There is no hyphen in the word bitcoin.  (hmmm)

I think regulatory efforts will be focused on the exchange points. I mean, how else could they do it?

Sticks. Sticks hitting faces.
Come on, no developed democratic country would ever do ... just a minute, there's someone at my door.  Back in a bit.

[EDIT]Sorry, what I meant to say is that you should all sell all of your coins right now. Never mind the price, just get what you can for them.  Then forget about bitcoins and never come back to this forum. Ever.[/EDIT]

That looks pretty easy.  But I will still use the way I was taught - which is easier.  Crack the shell in half, then slowly pour the egg white out over the edge of the shell keeping the yolk in the shell using the other shell half.  Pass the yolk back and forth between the two shell halves a few times as you let the rest of the egg white run out.  Sorry I don't have a video, but it really is quite simple.
Is there any other way to do it besides the bottle?

Yes - see post right above yours
okay, I found a video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yAGX-54iR30

Like I said, easier, it only takes a few seconds, and no bottle needed.

[EDIT]Sorry - did you mean, is there another way (besides the one I linked to) to do it without a bottle?  Yes, you can pour the egg contents into a small measuring cup and do the same thing.  There is a youtube video for that also.  I am sure there are others.[/EDIT]

I want to pre-order USB powered Quavalon mining rig that do 1PH/s  Cheesy

Is Butterfly Labs taking preorders for those yet?

No, but I am.  Send your share bids to the address in my profile.

Due to the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, the more we check on the delivery date the harder it will be to lock it down.  Right now delivery will be at some point in the future and I don't want to risk anything by trying to be more precise.

... I'm 99% certain they do this specifically to take advantage of the desperate people who just want to get the thing right away, ...
Yes, this is a tried-and-true marketing strategy.  I don't recall the exact term - something like "stratified marketing" or "tier marketing".  Get what you can from the early adopters, then get what you can from the next group, etc.

Unfortunately, the ridiculousness of the accusation does not prevent the California DFI from leveling the described fines against the foundation and/or its members.  They will then be required to either pay the fines (with no assurance that they won't be fined again) or take their case to court at great expense.

Do you think it is just a coincidence that Satoshi and D.B. Cooper have never been seen together?  The plot thickens.

There is another thread on this topic:  Tatsuaki Okamoto = Satoshi Nakamoto?

If "return false;" is not preventing the page reload then an error is occurring in the javascript that executes before it reaches the return statement.
176  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Idea 4 lost bitcoin problems on: June 20, 2013, 08:15:46 PM
And in the instance mentioned above, it was a hosting provider and now no longer takes bitcoins because of this lack of recourse. Its ended up being a lose lose.. I lost my coins I sent as a payment, and still had to pay for hosting using an other method.
They stopped accepting bitcoins for payment - well okay, that's their choice.  But then they immediately threw away the private key to their address??  At best that is lame on their part.  But more likely it seems doubtful.  Have you tracked their address to see if there are transactions going out of it after your payment?

I know that you'll probably not get the money back from them since you don't really have much leverage, but it seems that they owe you a refund for the double payment.  I mean the nature of bitcoin is that once the payment is sent the money belongs to the payee.  If they lost it after you paid that is an operational problem on their part and they didn't really have any business asking you to pay again.

If you pre-pay for the order (that is pay for it before they have built it), then it seems like the "burn-in" mining should send any coins to the address of your choosing.
178  Other / Off-topic / Re: Javascript problem in Firefox. on: June 20, 2013, 03:07:56 PM
should be
    return false;
not
    return: false;


That should prevent the page reload.  If not, try using setTimeout to call reloadCaptcha in the onclick attribute.

Duh.  Bigfoot uses one of these for his wristwatch.  That's how he's so easily avoided verifiable detection.

There's got to be some way to sugar-coat "I'm the one with 20 years of design experience, we should really do it this way".
In a professional, calm manner, explain standards and user expectations.  Show the customer other sites with similar forms.  If they still want the data entry fields centered, then do what they want while making sure they acknowledge it is against your advisement.  Depending on your relationship with them you may want it in writing.

In future projects you should have specs for each page that list the data fields, whether they are read-only or editable, fonts, justification, etc.  You can also have a general spec for fields saying all fields are left justified unless otherwise specified.  Also specify that change requests will probably cost them depending upon the nature of the change and how far along you are in the construction.

If the customer later wants to change the specs for a page then enforce your change request policy.

Above all else, always set the customer expectations.  People understand that if they are building a house, it is cheapest to move the bathroom before the architect does any work; it is more expensive to move the bathroom after the architect has drawn all of the plans; it is much more expensive to move the bathroom after the house is framed out; and it is most expensive to move the bathroom after construction is done.  Make your customer understand that it works the same way with website and software development.
