There are cheap used Porsche 911 cars in the market - around 160 BTC/pc. What you think - it is easy to drive with them daily or not ? Winter time use is not possible, only in California may be Grin

No the engine is weighing down the RWD rear wheels, so you get plenty of traction on ice/snow with the right tires. Also, the 911 has long been considered a "daily driver" sports car.

CPU usage results for pypy vs python using branch jtoomim_performance of p2pool after 21.7 hours:

Regular python:
68 minutes 3 seconds, 5.22% average

pypy:
39 minutes 20 seconds, 3.82% average

That's 42% lower CPU usage for pypy.

This is multiplicative with the jtoomim_performance benefit, so using the jtoomim_performance branch with pypy has about 65% lower CPU usage than using the head branch with regular python.

Test conditions: Core i7 4790k processor, 12 peers, 76 to 80 TH/s load (SP30s). Both nodes were run on the same server at the same time, with a local BitcoinXT bitcoind.

That's a big improvement - impressive  Smiley

Tying it out now.

Yes it is, I just can't figure why he's pushing XT? Anybody with the technical skills to re-code p2pool with a 42% improvement in speed should have the good sense to stay away from this XT nonsense.

Video: Evolution is Dead We all come from Adam & Eve

"In this video I share the one scientific fact that destroys The Evolution Theory. A scientific study that was conducted 2 years ago confirms that the genetic variation between all people is 0.1 %. Showing our common ancestory. This was done by Dr. Georgia Purdom and shows how when God separated people at the tower of babel is when diversity started. If we evolved from apes there would be millions of genetic differences between us all but it turns out theres very little this proves Biblical Adam and Eve!

Answers in Genesis Adam & Eve:
https://answersingenesis.org/genetics/did-we-all-come-from-adam-and-eve/"


The cheetah has fused chromosomes for making incompatible DNA (dog & cat) work together just like humans (ape & Huh). I think that's plenty of evidence we're engineered beings and not just the product of natural selection.

This technology was developed in India over a decade or so ago, why is MIT trying to take credit and claiming it's "new"?

EDIT:

oh, and Google has been cleansed of all the old links and only gives links to the new MIT articles. Nice...

EDIT 2:

ok, I found an old video from 2011, it still says it's from MIT but do recall this being even older than that and being developed in India with no mention of MIT.

Much drama, Bitcoin scams must be at an all time low eh.

Staying on topic I do recall a scandalous image of one BCT member in a pink tutu. This resulted in mod action and the locking of a popular thread. So no, you're (OP) not the only one.  Cheesy

The explanation is simple, the image is fake created in Photoshop. NASA fakes and lies about absolutely everything.

I'd go back a few decades and convince the marketing guy at Smuckers to call their peanut butter "JIFFY" instead of "JIF".

Then I'd wait it out until the present and take a second trip back to the early 1900's and visit NY. There I'd locate the immigration officer at Coney Island and advise him that a couple will be arriving from Europe named Stan and Jan and that the correct spelling of their last name is "BERENSTIEN" not "BERENSTAIN".

And the second page I'm lead to in my search for the Greenwich (the first one Google recommended that I clicked was in fact a link to a timecube.com image) is an article on Flat Earth leading with a quote from Napoleon.

timecube, now there's a site I haven't browsed in at least a decade... no, wait it's been hijacked into a theme-based spam advertising site. LOL

...but, if you hit the stop button real quick you can read what bears some similarity to the original content. oh, but it's been modified with hot-button and inflammatory content. It's like a religious fanatic with Tourette's syndrome re-wrote the whole kit-n-caboodle.

That said, the original premise that 1 day actually consists of 4 days 90° out of phase with each other is interesting. Not only that the fact somebody has created an entire wikipedia article with references is even more fascinating.

In the wiki article it states that "... Greenwich Time is a global conspiracy. ...", I'll have to look into this further.  Grin

Imagine you have only 10$ left in your pocket. So how are you gonna spend it?

This is a Bitcoin forum, shouldn't the question be how would you spend your last 0.04 BTC?

Also, this whole question is so bleak; it puts one in downward state of mind. Why am I left with only an insignificant amount of money in my pocket? Is the world going to end or something? What the fuck is going on here? where's my fucking money?

This thread is about instant gratification in exchange for long term misery isn't it? You're an illuminati shill pushing your NWO agenda aren't you?

I don't buy it, I don't believe NASA has sent anything to Mars. These satellites, probes and rovers they claim to have sent to Mars are still on Earth or are just straight Photoshop.

Why we can't send probes or rovers to Mars?

When you say "we" are you implying that you work for NASA?

"We" I mean as humanity as a whole. Whats stopping us from sending rovers to mars?

Humanity isn't whole, it's fragmented into various groups that are forced into conflicts by things like artificial scarcity and twisted Hegelian dialectics.

lol, You must answer my simple question. Whats stopping us from sending rovers to mars?

I just pointed out that humanity is fragmented yet your question still implies that it's whole by the using the term "us".

I placed my order in November of 2013, working on two years now and I've received nothing at all for my $5k. I requested a refund via the HK Consumer Counsel and it's been denied.

I really hope these assholes get indicted for fraud.
5418  Other / Off-topic / Re: Flat Earth on: September 30, 2015, 04:07:41 PM
I looked a little further into this and had two reactions:

1) I was surprised at the depth of explanation and creative thinking of flat earth models.

2) I slapped myself.

Where to begin?

A) If the sun and moon are 3000 miles away and are rotating above a flat earth, both would be visible at all times.  Because trigonometry.
Lots of things seem good in theory but go out the window in practice. In reality no object can bee seen beyond its vanishing point not to mention the Sun and Moon have a spotlight effect being projections and all.
Quote
B) If there is no gravity, and if the atmosphere isn't rotating along with the earth, and if the earth is accelerating upwards at the rate of gravity, then why doesn't the Earth slam into the clouds, or the sun and moon for that matter?
Wait, who says the Earth is accelerating upwards?
Quote
C) If there is both gravity and a flat earth, why don't people at the edges of the earth tumble back to the center?
Scientists still struggle with the mysteries of static cling.
Quote
D) Explain the speed of light, e.g. why does light from the moon reach us significantly faster than from the Sun?
Light from the Moon and Sun both travel at the speed of light in whatever medium it's traveling through. How does one go about measuring the age of a photon?
Quote
E) Explain wind and tides.
The wind blows as it always has and tides continue to rise and fall, only your perception has changed. The Sun doesn't behave any differently now that you know it's closer than you thought.
Quote

How many do you need?  I like that people aren't afraid to question conventional thinking, but I'm getting tired of face-palming.

You see the problem here is the devil is in the details, the NASA logo is an anagram for Satan and prominently displays the forked tongue of a snake. Other than evidence provided by an agency born from Nazi operation paperclip as a propaganda tool, there's nothing but the musings of a senile old Greek philosopher to back up the Globe Earth Theory that's regurgitated by the Royal Society. The whole thing reeks of vomit and piss from all the goof they've been drinking.

Keep slapping, eventually you'll sober up!
