Nostradamus

His twin rocks prophecy gave 40 and 5 as the location of the fire in the sky.

Twin rocks Twin Towers
Fire in the sky 911
40 and 5 NYC is on 40.5 lat

He wrote 40 & 5 since most had not understanding of decimal math yet

So bad translators added it at 45 but the correct translation is 40 and 5 the latitude

So Nostradamus nailed 911

Now do you want to argue that the der spiegel 911 story and his 1998 911 warning is not an amazing hit?

Sollog named date of 911

Nostradamus nailed it in his twin rocks prophecy with 40 & 5 or 40.5 location the lat of nyc
All the things you are saying are things you have heard Nostradamus  said. What I want to see is what he actually wrote. You will find that it all breaks down when you get to that part. He might write something about "fire in the sky". Believers will consider that to be a prediction about 911. In the 1960s it was seen as a prediction of the nuclear bomb, in the 1940 it was proof he predicted the bombing of Dresden, etc.
He simply writes cryptic statements that could be interpreted any number of ways. There is a very long tradition of this kinds of mystical writings.

Again, simply quote something HE wrote.

Ok I'll play. Show me one single prediction that Nostradamus made that has come true.
4984  Other / Archival / Re: 1566 First Edition Nostradamus on: July 23, 2014, 03:35:14 PM
What an awesome book! Wow man, that is a true treasure. There is no way he predicted the future. That's childish nonsense, however his writing is very intriguing and says a lot about the minds of people then and now. Super cool!

Yep, confirmed.  It was easy to check and see.
Can you show the data you are looking at? I am unaware of any technique that could confirm this, so I'm interested.
4987  Economy / Speculation / Re: NY BITCOIN LICENSE REGULATIONS ARE HERE on: July 18, 2014, 05:26:24 PM
I think we should have gotten a better deal. Some of the rules are going to be difficult to implement for basic users. It is starting to look like NYC is out of the running as a financial leader in the future.  Let's hope other states make far better decisions or America may loose it's edge as a bitcoin friendly country.

If by lost you mean you broke up, then you'll be fine man. If by lost you mean she has died, then I'm truly sorry and I think you will need a while to grieve.  Sad

I just called then to confirm. It is true. As of yesterday you can use bitcoin for purchases on their website. The only restriction is that you can't split the bill between BTC and other payment methods.
4990  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: [BREAKING NEWS] DELL is now accepting Bitcoin !!! on: July 18, 2014, 04:53:23 PM
Awesome! I wish Dell made good computers. lol, na they are ok I guess.

By calculating the gravitational effect of the earth, scientists have found out that the mean density of earth is 5.515 g/cm3. But the crustal density is only 2 g/cm3. That means that the interior of the earth is much denser than the outer layers.

Aw man. Why'd ya have to do the math and ruin a perfectly cool story.  Sad

Those dollars don't "work for you", there not even yours. They belong to the federal reserve.

4994  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: btc is a currency?do u used btc buy anything?and why? on: July 17, 2014, 05:01:39 PM
I buy something at least once a week with bitcoin. And I do 99% of my online shopping with bitcoin. I no longer use my debit card online. For me it is money. I don't understand your assertion that because you have not bought anything with bitcoin, it can't be money. I suppose that means that because I no longer use my debit card, debit cards are not money either?

Why? Because bitcoin is the fastest, cheapest, and safest way to buy anything from anyone on the internet.

Hey thanks for researching this. I saw the post and from the video I could tell it was not a meteor strike, but I could not tell if it was a CGI hoax.
If that thing is real... then WTF? I had no idea that methane in the permafrost could behave that way or form a structure like that. I can't wait to find out more! How deep is it? Are there others? It looked to me like the "blue hole" I used to dive in Belize. That feature is interpreted as a Karst feature, but could it be related?



In any case, I hope this is not a sign of the permafrost going. If that happens the volume of green house gas entering the atmosphere would be staggering. There would be little we could do to keep the planet from becoming an oven. It is considered the worst case scenario in global climate change.
4997  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Trust Will Kill Bitcoin on: July 17, 2014, 03:37:06 PM
There is no need to trust anyone with bitcoin and that is one of it's most important features. In fact in the early days I think I remember Satoshi referring to his idea as "trust-less cash" rather than bitcoin.

Any additional layers in the bitcoin economy that rely on trust are unnecessary. And that is why I think this article has it wrong. I would not use bitcoin if it required trust. This website may not understand my position as their business (gold sales) relies heavily on trust. When I buy bulk gold I have to go through a whole process of having the gold assayed and tested. When a bitcoin arrives in my wallet the transaction is over and I can be confident that it is authentic. Trust is not wanted or needed in bitcoin. 

Again, you still have to trust the miners and the network that no one has 51% hashrate to double spend and invalidate that transaction.

I do see your point but trusting a majority is different than trying to discern who is a bad actor. I also have to trust my ISP to not block the network, etc. But I have reason to believe that the miners will act rationally as it is in their best interest to keep the network healthy. Kinda like trusting your cab driver not to drive off a bridge. Sure he could do it, but it makes no sense and is in no ones interest.

Countermeasures:

http://www.instructables.com/id/RF-Jammer/
Something like this for your rooftop.


The jammer you reference above won't work on most drones.  Many (most?) consumer-type drones operate in the 2.4 GHz band, which is far above where that jammer operates.  Instead, you'll want to grab one of the cheap Chinese jammers for the wifi band and use it.  If you are based in the US beware that the US government is starting to crack down on RF jammers imported into the country and is even talking about going after consumers:

http://online.wsj.com/articles/fcc-levels-record-fine-against-chinese-maker-of-cellphone-jammers-1403205812

Still, the legal risks are probably much lower than the risk of firing a gun at one of these unless you live in a rural area where discharge of firearms is not prohibited.

I kinda thought the frequency would be wrong. But in concept I think jamming with a dirty, broad spectrum broadcast would be your best countermeasure. It would be very hard to detect compared to a shotgun blast.
If you really knew what you were doing you might even be able to connect to the datastream from the camera. Then you could get a look at the drone operators when they recover the bird. This was done to U.S. drones like the MQ-9. If I remember correctly, it could be done cheaply with off the shelf gear.

i just got scammed for 10$ :S

you are the one who is buying btc via paypal , so you can file a dispute and do post some details of the person who scammed you !!

If you sell bitcoin for paypal, they can file a chargeback against you, and regardless of the evidence you post, you will always lose. If you are buying BTC via paypal, you are completely safe. Just don't rip off the other trader by chargebacking them  Grin

Unfortunately not. In fact I would strongly advise the OP to NOT tell PayPal. That sale was a violation of PayPal's terms of service. They have every right to freeze your account and hold the €27,00 until the matter is resolved.

Which is another reason why 10,00 times a day we say "Don't mix PayPal and Bitcoin."
