Obv a lot of info is still up in the air, but for right now, here's where we stand:

The bASIC is the best GHs/1kUSD, but only by a little bit. The BFL SC Single and SC MR are behind by < 5% (but could potentially use less power), and the Avalon is behind by ~10% (but does not need to connect to a PC to mine, it's a standalone).

The Avalon (once the price goes up to $1999), Reclaimer, and Jalapenos are all around 30-40% behind the leaders.

I'll post my spreadsheet when I get home from work. Wink

Thanks for that, that would be great!

I wonder when they will announce the power consumption of the bASIC as BFL have already announced theirs.

I thought the BFL single SC was also standalone? I could be very wrong?

I find this depressing and homophobic. Frankly, I would try and woo her, but not for the reward. Her sexual orientation is her business, not her fathers, and the fact that he's trying to break up a relationship makes him an unsupportive, unaccepting bastard of a father.

Maybe thats the reason she went gay in the first place, to annoy her controlling father?

"IN MY OPINION"

Atheism, as you say you are, has an -ism on the end! Which also implies it is a religion. After all, religion is a collection of belief systems. And every single person has a right to believe in what they want. I believe in the balance, that every view has its up sides and down sides and they keep each other in balance. We prefer a certain view because it suits us better, the up's and the down's fit in our lives at that point in time. Our views and belief's ( religion ) can change over time. I think that if you asked two different Muslims or Christians or etc they would give differing views on their beliefs even though they are under the same label or name or category and pray at the same temple or shrine or etc.. I think people like to feel like they belong to a social group that they can relate to. It is difficult to say that all muslims are the same or all atheists are the same as different groups may have different ways of expressing themselves. And I think thats where culture plays a role. So its hard to say that all religions only have down sides, you see! At some point in a persons life, religion may be all a person has to hang on to life. I believe life is precious and we humans are all related one way or another and I know, we have it in us to play fair and be kind to one another. Because no matter what we are all family.





I'm an atheist and have the following standpoint:

 - All religions are hoaxes, making people belive in non-existing gods.

Religions serve the following purposes:

1. Making people have some comfort in their lives, having something else than themselves to pray to and look up to. This is mostly culturrally dependent,
most people adhere to the religion were they grew up, and what was ingrained in them from early childhood.

2. To keep uneducated people in control.

3. To keep power and control in a central position.

If religion was all about love to your God, and it was all a mental thing, there would be no need for churches, and all accessories that goes with a religion.

It's sad that a God-fearing man goes regularily to church to get closer to his maker. He could've been just as close to his God in his couch at home.

Many religious entities collect money, and are rather greedy, there are internal battles about power and control, just think of the Vatican.

I think it's rather sad that in 2012, so many people put their belief in something that doesn't exist. You may pray, and you may feel that your prayers were heard,
and things turn for the better in your life, but most of the time, the prayers are futile, and the only one that can change anything in your life is yourself.

States need to separate themselves from religion, and any religious society needs to take care of itself. Many religious societies does serve a good purpose in their
municipality, and there's nothing wrong with that,  and I do respect anyone that has their faith, but I don't think there's any God of any sorts, and people need to take
responsibility for their own lives.

Will the earth ever come to a point where people are so educated that they understand that science is the only true answer, and that everything else is fairytales ?

As much as I respect any Christian or any devoted religious person from any other religion (I may think his belief is a joke, but I would never say it to his face to force a confrontation in disrespect), I don't think any religions should have any special protection under the law.

Part of the problem is that Religion is so ingrained into the culture of most countries, that many people don't even question it.

Education will put the power in the hands of the people to learn about the world around them, and will remove the power of the leaders of their religion over them.

As an atheist, I don't think your religion defines whether you're a good person or not, that's more down to the person itself, and the values you've been taught in your upbringing, and what you've learned through your education.

Now, with the recent uproar about the 'Innocence of Muslims'-movie, people shouldn't get upset about it. If they don't like it, they should simply ignore it, and don't speak of it. Killing people, making riots etc. and claim that it's because of this movie, this is not right. People are always responsible for what they do.

If I were a Christian, and someone mocked my religion and called me a religious fool, and I got angry and burned down their house, that would be completely unacceptable by me, and I would need to take the full penalty for it.

Some people say we should not provoke 'islam' through cartoons, movies etc. And this may seem like the easy way out. But what if we continously bombarded Islam with this material, would they keep rioting every day of the week, every week, every month and every year, or would they finally sit down and say to themselves: "I'm tired of fighting, I can be a good muslim, no matter what any people say about my religion".

Islam doesn't receive more goodwill by having it's followers react like this, I would think most sivilized people just seeing this for what it is; outright crimes. Also I think a lot of the people that we see rioting in the streets, are only using this movie as an excuse for acting like they do.

Is there a single other Religion in the world were the members would've reacted like this over a movie ?

What do you all think ?

This only proves he has 12 million dollars, if the receipt is legit that is. It doesnt prove he is happy or successful or anything else. Oh yeah also proves he knows how to spell and can write in English and has access to a ball point pen.. So why is he giving a load of advice? How does his advice apply to anyone else? We all have different circumstances and preferences right? Maybe he was bored.

Hello Govners

Top of the mornin to ya all..

So as you may or may not know BFL is finally nearing their shipping date. And as you may or may not already know, they have ramped up their promised specs as of the 29th.

My question is, other than the price! ( the obvious ) and the latest specs, does anyone have any info on these elusive products? For example, will there be any colour choices such as crimson blue? How will they be operated, usb or stand alone? Which minning pool will they use? What will the interface be like? Can it be remotely controlled/viewed? Will there be a flashy oled display for quick monitoring? And so on, if someone could shed a little more light on these details that would be great. I mean, hell, it would probably help BFL sales immensely.. With all the competition out there an all.
