That is exactly what Putin is going to do. May be we can fix the price at $150 / hectare.

The people of Eastern Ukraine want to join Russia anyway. Then why bother paying billions of USD to the Kiev regime?

I never said he was a nice guy, but he doesn't seem especially nefarious either, and I don't see how much he made from Megaupload is an issue (unless you're the USG).

In the lawsuit against him, it was estimated that he made somewhere between $175 million and $250 million from Megaupload.

china and japan are the majority stake holders of USA Cheesy

China is OK... but I don't believe that Japan owns some of the US dept. Japan itself is in deep debt.

Germany still demands it's gold reserve back (as does France). Germany got some golden bars, that didn't have German seal on them, after Lybian gold got hauled over to US. Chances are, Germany will get more gold "repatriated" in freshly re-cast Ukrainian gold.

Fat chance of getting any of it back. The US will classify it as holocaust repatriation payments and keep it in the federal reserve.

How Russia could strangle the US space program

http://www.globalpost.com/dispatch/news/regions/americas/united-states/140324/nasa-russia-sanctions-rocket-rd-180-atlas-v

Quote
The US relies heavily on Russia to furnish the engines that power rockets that deliver both military and civil payloads into space. This includes GPS systems in cars and cellphones, and even systems that allow ATMs to function. Weather satellites are launched into space via Russian-powered rockets, and military systems such as early missile detection also depend on our friends in Moscow. In addition, since NASA scrapped the space shuttle program in 2011, the US has to rely on Russian Soyuz capsules to get its astronauts to the space station and to bring them back home.

Quote
One of the things Americans may dislike very much indeed is a possible ban on the sale of RD-180 engines to the US under a contract with Russian manufacturer NPO Energomash. The RD-180 powers the Atlas V rocket, the main launch vehicle used to get US military and civil payloads into space.

The West fears Russia is poised to invade Ukraine, but it seems the Kremlin has a bigger conquest in its sights - the Moon. Moscow today set out plans to conquer and colonise space, including a permanent manned moon base. Deputy premier Dmitry Rogozin said: 'We are coming to the moon forever.'

Just curious about how much control Britain has over Turks & Caicos, do they have their own laws or the laws of Britain?

They have their own tax rules. But foreign affairs.etc is controlled by the UK.

The lost coins are only few hundreds.... return customers their coins back then you can sell your shit anyway you want.

Why can't they sell the Mt Gox shares? Any revenue from the the share sale can be used to refund their users.

30% would have been a good deal. 20% is too low.
24191  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Afghan Presidential Elections 2014 on: April 11, 2014, 09:14:54 AM
From the sound of things they will likely be holding a runoff election as there were around 8 candidates and the winner has to get over 50%.

Partial results are out. Ashraf Ghani Ahmadzai leading with 58% vote. I doubt whether there will be a second round.
24192  Other / Off-topic / Re: Best place to build the Bitcoin island in the international waters on: April 11, 2014, 05:22:19 AM
Some $10 billion USD in funding will be needed to build an island of 10 sq.km in size. That is $1,000 per square meter. So a typical 400 sq.m plot will cost you $400,000.

The land prices are quite high. But considering the fact that there will be no wealth tax or corporate tax, it will pay off in the long term.

This

The earth is greener than at any other point in its recorded history.

and this:

Quote
Global deforestation sharply accelerated around 1852. It has been estimated that about half of the Earth's mature tropical forests—between 7.5 million and 8 million km2 (2.9 million to 3 million sq mi) of the original 15 million to 16 million km2 (5.8 million to 6.2 million sq mi) that until 1947 covered the planet have now been destroyed

So new theory emerges. Destruction of the forests make the earth greener. Bravo!

+1, Life in post collapse world could be very unpredictable, better hide on the bunker and wait until its calm and the peace and order is back.

Hiding in the bunker will not help. You'll starve to death. Better organize a group consisting of your relatives and close friends. The bigger the group, the more chances you'll have to survive.

But now, with support for the far-right rising, four parties - France's National Front (FN), Austria's Freedom Party (FPOe), Belgium's Vlaams Belang and the Sweden Democrats - have joined up to form a European youth movement.

They can add more parties, such as Ataka of Bulgaria, BNP of UK, PVV of the Netherlands, NPD of Germany.etc

This lawsuit was launched because the people were neither getting their devices (mining rigs) nor the money (refunds).

24199  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: 47% of Americans want to make purchasing goods and services w/ Bitcoins illegal on: April 09, 2014, 07:00:41 AM
People can't want to ban something that they've never heard of. How are you able to type with all the drool on your keyboard? Don't bother answering, I already ignored you.

Calm down. You didn't understand what he told and it is not his problem. Just admit that you are not very bright.

What he really meant might be people who have never heard about bitcoin before this poll were the ones who wanted to ban it.

It is clear that the pollster is biased. He would have asked something like "Bitcoin is a form of digital currency used for the purchase of drugs. Do you favor banning it?"

Off course the idiots who have never heard about Bitcoin earlier will immediately agree to ban it. On the other hand, people who are actually familiar with Bitcoin will never agree to a ban.
