Finally, been waiting for this for a long time. Looking for Russia's comeback after the failure of Euro 2012.

Lol. I highly doubt he ran out of money, considering both that he is an A-list actor, and has done a lot of movies. I'm sure the real reason is because he is primarily an action actor, and as you get older you can do less and less action movies. So he is trying to do more films before he gets old.

I have a new favorite game - Dark Souls 2. Put in 60 hours already, feels like playing my favorite games for the first time.

The big environmental disaster is definitely coming (not just global warming, but also our overexploitation of natural resources, for example, catching more fish then are needed to repopulate for the next season), but I don't think it will kill us. The only real possibility I can think off is a global war for resources - if we haven't found a way to cut off our dependence on unsustainable resources (oil, coal, etc) before we start really running out of them, then there is a very good chance we may turn to war.

What he talks about in the video is not just a problem with the US system, it's a problem pretty much everywhere in the world. The problem with the US system (I think) is that kids are not allowed to fail, so you bring the standards down so much so that everyone passes, and you limit bright children by forcing them to the standard.

Dark Souls 2. It's really really hard but also really rewarding.

The idea that Bitcoin is just the beginning for something better has been around for years now. Just look at all the alt coins being created every day. The problem is that 99% of these coins seem to be created simply for the purpose of making money for yourself, and fucking over someone else. It seems like every new alt coin has praised itself as the next coming of Jesus because it does something new, but if that was the case then why aren't they becoming big? Ok I won't lie, I don't really follow altcoins, but the only ones that I know of as actually being successful, resilient, and bringing something good to the table are Litecoin and Dogecoin, while the hundreds of other alt coins just seem to come and go, which suggests they are nothing more than schemes to make money off people by pump and dumping.

Having said that, I'll stick with Bitcoin because it not only has the resilience and infrastructure, and is also driven not just by the prospect of making money, but actually revolutionizing money and the exchange of wealth.

There's no "new concept" that will fix that. The best thing is to take good parts from everything. Also, improve them slowly over time. But bottom line, human nature will always fuck great ideas up.

For example, REAL communism never happened. What happened in Russia, China, etc, was NOT communism. Communism in its supposed form is actually pretty damn amazing - think about, nobody wants for anything, everyone has the same quality of life. There's no need for conflict when we're all equal in terms of food, material goods, etc. But as a society right now, we are not ready for this kind of equality - not all of us want it, and there will always be people who want to abuse their power to live better than anyone else (which is exactly what the people in power in semi-communist states like USSR did). So even though communism is not that bad of an idea, human nature prevents real communism from ever taking place.

As for capitalism, for me the biggest problem is that once you get big, you become "too big to fail" which is a blatant contradiction of the entire concept. Failing systems should be allowed to fail, but we are supporting them. The people that get to the top of the capitalist ladder tend to stay there (if not indefinitely, at least for much longer than they should) and amass ridiculous amounts of power to control the entire system.

Anybody get "Huntercoin.exe has stopped working" when you try to launch with new update? I still see huntercoin-qt in my task manager. Any ideas?

Can confirm payment. Thanks  

If you're confident and/or have money/fame women will flock to you. I don't disagree that looks help - they obviously do. But it's not the only thing.

Who did you scam?

I hope you're right, but that's what they said after World War 1 as well...as soon as people forget about the horrors of war, it has a chance of coming back. Ironically though it's a good thing we have nuclear weapons now, because it means that nobody will risk attacking another nation because you will suffer the same damage in return.

The whole "China and Russia are best pals" thing is dead wrong. Their history is actually one of mutual hostility for the most part, and the only reason they are partners at the moment is because they don't really have anyone else. As for NK, they're the joke of the world. Neither Russia or China give two shits about them.

This guy is without a doubt the best troll on Bitcointalk.

Not surprising, Ukraine is in a total state of chaos with the revolution and now the Russians fucking around in Crimea. I bet there's a lot of people getting away with stealing anything from mail packages to huge tracts of land, kind of like what happened when the Soviet Union fell apart in Russia.

Eh the action was fun but I wouldn't recommend it. The movie has no story to speak of, and the characters are all very one-dimensional and boring. The one thing I really disliked the most though is that they barely made any use of Xerxes. They set him up as a half-god badass at the start of the film, and then completely forget about him...

It means he has posted multiple threads on this forum before begging for bitcoins.

You come in here with a new story every week. Seriously guys, look at his post history...

Sounds interesting. Some millionaire will buy it. Highly doubt this is going to change the way music is distributed in any way though.
