Shakaru, do you sell cards?

If so, I'll buy your whole stock at the listed rates.

This card is worth 20-25 BTC, easily. Maybe more.

This viewpoint justifies any law. This justifies laws under Kim jong-Il, etc. If you simply accept that any law is morally justified because it is law, then you completely disregard the right of the public to liberty and justice.

It is true that if you had a society in which the consensus was that murder was fine, you'd probably be able to keep a society going in which murder was legal. There just isn't as much of a case against murder laws as there is against oppressive taxation.

People cannot be a tool, there is nothing contradictory here. Tools are inanimate and have no free will, this isn't true of the individuals which make up government, or the individuals which make up corporations.

You really don't. A 5770 runs at about 100W, so this would be 800W + 300W system overhead = 1100W continuous. An AX1200 would do this fine.

What's the CFM on those?

I envy you Vladimir, but in the good inspirational way.

Obsolete

'The government' is not a tool. The government is a group of individuals who may or may not be corrupt (I assume some are and some are not). 'Corporations' are legal fiction. They exist to distance liability from decision makers. They are creations of government and grant legal privelege which is incompatible with the libertarian worldview.

We're not pro-corporatism. I personally have far more issues to pick with corporate law (and corporate welfare) than I do to pick with government, but government still has its own issues.

Murder and rape aren't the same as not paying taxes.

Don't take the ludicrous position that all crime is wrong and equal. All laws are not automatically just. All welfare is not automatically just.

A complete list of features.

It's hard to bid on a project without the details which you're bidding on.

Does your hosting include shell access? You will need shell access to run bitcoind. I can sell you hosting as well as web design if you'd like.

Can you PM me a full specification? Also, I assume your server can run bitcoind.

I don't do drugs any more, but I don't think Silk Road is a bad thing. At the end of the day, the governments war on drugs is completely unreasonable, and Silk Road is just one of many mechanisms against it. Most of these mechanisms do not involve any Bitcoin, so the MSMs attempt to align Bitcoin with drugs is proposterous. At the end of the day, if we want to associate things with what they finance, Bitcoin finances drugs; Dollars finance wars, murder, rape, exploitation, child abuse, drugs...

I wouldn't necessarily say Silk Road is great. I wouldn't use it, but I don't wish any bad upon those who choose to.

Sure.

Nice uptake so far, I'm having to reduce availability to 1 week on the MH-800 I as they're all out.

I take it you're the reason all my retailers are sold out of XFX 5870s and 5850s

Love the huge tower of graphics cards, looking forward to more pics of DC3.

Can you pm them to me? I'm on edge and its slow loading pms.

What's your best price with shipment to EU?

Hopefully its a lot better than 16BTC.

The 5830 is not in any way the best card for mining. They have poor fans, high power consumption and fairly weak MH output.

The 5850 and 5870 are the premier 5 series cards.

As for the 5770, the only reason I use them is that they're single slot. This means I can buy a £40 mobo, £10 riser and put a 5870 and a 5770 in it and get ~600MH out of a single cheap setup.

They are also quite PSU friendly. I run the above setup on a good 550W PSU no problem, and 550W PSUs are often 33pc cheaper than the 650W you need to run dual 5870s.

Dear left-leaners of all kinds,

I'm not an anarcho-capitalist, but I often see this ridiculous criticism of anarcho-capitalism that somehow if it were implemented, the poor would just starve and have no healthcare etc. So, let's do some maths based on some core assumptions that even you guys accept:

• 50% of the USA is left-leaning
• These people want the poor to have essential services

OK, let's assume for now that all evil right-wingers won't donate a cent, and that income is split approx 30/70 in favour of the right (this probably isn't true as many high-paid jobs are mostly practiced by left-wingers, but just to use ridiculous maths), so you have 30% of the wealth between all of you lefties.

Now let's assume you guys don't decide along with the right-wingers that you don't care about the poor, because you're better than us. Therefore, in the absence of government, you all agree to pay 'taxes' to provide essential services to those people (i.e. donate to charity). Let's say you all accept that 33% of your income is a fair amount, so we have 10% of the USA's GDP to spend on 'key' services.

Right now, this is somewhere in the realm of $1.4 trillion. Now, let's take a socialist country like the UK, and work out what $1.4 trillion (about £900 billion) could pay for. I'll multiply the budgets by 2.5, assuming that you're providing for the 50% of poorest Americans, as these services are currently provided to all of the UK.

You could pay for:
- The entire NHS service (free of charge healthcare which achieves a greater HALE than the US healthcare system) - £315 billion
- The entire state education service (free of charge education which achieves a reasonable global standard) - £200 billion
- The welfare state (provides up to $20,000 a year of welfare to the poor) - £290 billion

This comes to £805 billion ($1.3 trillion), so not only under tax-free voluntarism could you have free health & education for 50% of the population, but you could do it to a similar standard in education and 'better' in health & welfare than the current provision in the US.

This works on the ridiculous assumptions that you'd be as inefficient as the UK government and that you'd get no support from any of us evil rich right-wingers. Whatever the state of the world, if you lefties care as much as you say you do, the poor in your country are going to be fine no matter how evil we are.

I'm a moderate classical liberal.

I have sympathies with libertarianism and objectivism, but I wouldn't say I have some of the more extreme viewpoints to push me to become an anarcho-capitalist. I do like the core tenets of voluntarism, and try to live that way myself.

I have an innate distrust of government and multinational corporations alike, and tend to trust only those which have demonstrably shown to be worthy of my trust. I believe the free market is a bit like Linux, it's great as long as you're intelligent enough to use all of its mechanisms (including charity and boycott) and not rely on government regulation, but most people have been brainwashed into thinking the answer is always more government, and it is this brainwashing which we need to undo.
