$600 for one unit is pretty high for most people in the world.

What you wrote is astoundingly similar to that famous Bill Gates quote:
Quote from: Bill Gates
640K is more memory than anyone will ever need on a computer.

Well, to be honest, it's probably just a myth because B. Gates denied having said that.
But I think it's worth mentioning as example of what an utterly wrong prediction can look like. Smiley

I would go with Avast! + MalwareBytes.
But before that, if those older laptops are no more needed by anyone, I would manually uninstall what has become unnecessary and all the crapware I can find.

At this point, if you have freed a lot of space or if you never did it before, a defrag of the Hard Disk could help you to squeeze a bit of performance from that older hardware.
Assuming we are talking of a previous Windows OS, MyDefrag is a good defrag tool (http://www.mydefrag.com/).

Then install and run a complete scan with the two programs above; I think this should be enough to band-aid your situation.

Good. Smiley

BTW, the hint about modify the hosts file was the funniest one.
Write your url (or even follow a link) but it keep loading a totally unrelated page...

The whole series of articles is good reading.  Thanks for posting the link.

I think you are right; I've just read a couple of articles but I really want to read all of them in the next days.
Thank you for the link OP, I didn't know your website. Bookmarked!

Holding down CTRL and rolling my mouse wheel works for me (Firefox)

Or CTRL and + or - from the kboard.

Very comfy shortcuts, I use them quite often.

And CTRL 0 to come back to the default 100% zoom.
It's more reactive than reloading the whole page.

The two major things I like about this campaign are the way they've implemented automatic payouts and the fact that they aren't using a pay-per-post scheme.
If all signatures campaign were using a scheme like this one, then the spam caused by signature campaigns would not exist at all.

Well "Whitespace" is even worse IMO.
You know, without a decent IDE/text editor you will never know what you're doing after the 5th line.
I have to agree, this Whitespace is worse than Brainfuck.  Shocked
Reading about it, an intersting aspect is the possibility to embed Whitespace code in the blank space of another language code (except for languages that have indentation/space rules like Python).


What about LOLCODE? Have you heard about it?
Oh wow this one is new for me.
I coulnd't loud when I saw that the "exit" delimiter was "KTHXBYE".

Lol, I didn't know it too.

Some other AWSUM commands:
PLZ OPEN FILE
O NOES
IM OUTTA YR LOOP

how does one start to talk about god, souls and other kinds of bullshit when talking about an alien invasions? Shocked

Luckly my sarcasm detector prevented me to give you an obvious answer Smiley

I think I didn't mean it that way, an alien invasion may not be very probable but gods and souls are at another level of improbability...

Mmm... it seems I have to recalibrate my detector.

BTW, come on, it would be a though fight to declare what is more improbable than what.
I would put all of them on the same plane.

Just to be clear, I'm questioning about the (im)probability of all these events in the cinematographic way they are reported.
On the other side, I'm quite sure that extraterrestrial life does exist and also - about the human being - I tend to think that there have to be something more than our meat, our physical body. I'm not so sure that our mind, our thoughts, our coscience (maybe consciousness is the right word) can simply switch off and suddenly vanish when our heart stops to pump.
That said, I tend to smile in the same way when I read about reptilians, angels, demons or alien invasions.

What is this about -- I keep seeing this posted, that Dank doesn't have a soul. Cheesy What's that about? Link to thread? Smiley
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=93003.0
Dank gave his soul to squall when he forfeited on his debt.  Dank does not have a soul, so he cannot be god.

Holy crap, thanks Vod! I never read that first post about DankBank.

The mod's edit at the end is epic:

(mod edit: dank has refused to repay, and thus forfeited his collateral - his soul)

Assembly seems a piece of cake compared to it.

An Hello World! example:

The unequivocal answer is: there is no unequivocal answer.
Pretty clear, I got it. Smiley

The limited history we have implies that, whenever 1w turned positive, the worst of the previous bear market was over.
At the same time, maybe due to the lingering effects of the previous bear markets (like in 2011/2012), the weekly MACD crossover more than once was followed by another price drop.
Assuming historic performance holds again, then, if you don't mind possibly holding through a month of further stagnation, possibly mild decline, then it is probably not a bad signal to get in.
Thanks for explain it further, let's see how it turns out.
In the meanwhile, I would speculate, based on pure nothing, that we'll see the first 1w green light in the next 24-48 hours.
278  Economy / Speculation / Re: Multi-Timeframe Technical Analysis on: June 10, 2014, 03:26:10 PM
Just go back to September/October last year. Turned green, then red again for 2 weeks. Similar in December 2012.

That said, in the entire history of Bitcoin trading I know (which means including mtgox data), whenever the 1w MACD turned green there was never a drastic and lasting price decline.

The "worst" signal I can find is in the last December week in 2011. MACD turns green, if you wouldn't have waited for a period close you might have bought at slightly below $5. The rally continued to $7, then price fell sharply. Took another ~2 months before $5 was reached again.

Sounds like a fantastic opportunity in retrospect, of course (buying coins at $5), but from a trader's perspective, that wasn't a very good signal, unless you got out at the $7 peak.

Well, I think that your remarks make a lot of sense but, as you wrote, they mostly refer to a trader point of view (I hope I'm not misunderstanding your words).

At the end of day, what I'm trying to understand is only if we can really consider the bear market ended (for medium and maybe long term).

To be more precise, I wonder if a stable green 1W MACD could be seen as a clear and unequivocal signal of reversal trend. I would say yes, but I'm not a TA expert, I'm just reading something about it and playing with charts.

But there is this consideration from you that is pretty reassuring:

Yes, the "Other contact info" field was added by Theymos after a similar request about Bitmessage.

One entire month from the last update in this thread, but it looks like 1W green MACD is using more time than expected.

BTW it's a very thin red strip now...
Do you know if it ever turned GREEN for some short moments?
