Official story now is that it crashed.

IMO, two guys with fake passports and the Malaysian government misleading the world every step of the way...smells fishy.

The Malaysian government knows something the rest of us don't.

What are GMOs?
GMOs, or “genetically modified organisms,” are plants or animals that have been genetically engineered with DNA from bacteria,
 viruses or other plants and animals. These experimental combinations of genes from different species cannot occur in nature
 or in traditional crossbreeding.
Virtually all commercial GMOs are engineered to withstand direct application of herbicide and/or to produce an insecticide.
 Despite biotech industry promises, none of the GMO traits currently on the market offer increased yield, drought tolerance,
 enhanced nutrition, or any other consumer benefit.
Meanwhile, a growing body of evidence connects GMOs with health problems, environmental damage and violation of farmers’ and consumers’ rights.

Among the many reasons 90% of what I eat is locally grown.

The question is:

could there be more mods, if they volunteer and abdicate the "mod wages"?

I would assume it's more a problem of finding people they trust, rather than fiscal issues.

On forum sites, taking on a mods is usually a...dubious process.
70  Other / Meta / Re: Are there unpaid moderators? on: March 25, 2014, 07:58:28 PM
I understood mods are paid. So its obvious, why no new mods are added.

Leads me to the question: Are there any unpaid (subforum) moderators?

If no: Is there a chance the creation of a new position/job as "unpaid moderator" aka
"voluntarily non contract moderator" is possible?

I'm pretty sure they're paid pennies
71  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Is a Madmax outcome coming before 2020? Thus do we need anonymity? on: March 25, 2014, 07:51:03 PM
If we go into a Madmax world where the governments are bailing-in all the bank deposits, they are instituting negative interest rates to charge you money every month for having money, and the IMF's proposed net worth tax, etc...

Then all those who have wealth will want anonymity. And all those who don't have wealth and suck the tit of government, will not want anonymity.

Which one of those categories applies to you?

Do you think that Madmax outcome is not coming before 2020?

Long as I have my gyrocopter i'll be fine  Grin

Will 1 Bitcoin will Reach 1 million usd one day? What is your opinion?

Doubt it. Honestly, before the dust settles i'd be willing to bet some altcurrency will take center stage (especially with all the public stigma attached to btc atm).

These aren't even the worst things banks do. Still, if governments have their way btc will be regulated, and those that want to use cryptocurrencies unregulated will have to do so in the shadows.

This is what banks do to you when you are down:

75  Economy / Speculation / Re: "A currency that increases in value is a terrible thing" on: March 25, 2014, 07:04:27 PM
That's what the volatility complaint boils down to as far as I can tell. The question is: Why? Why do people think it is bad that the value of their holdings goes up? People are literally saying that for bitcoin to be able to be used as a currency the price needs to stop increasing. What the hell is that about?

Wouldn't say it 'boils down' to that. Volatility works both ways, it's not a matter of just increases. Businesses won't adopt a currency that is $3 one year and $1000 the next.

While I've noticed vegetarians being lumped in with the other two groups, I've not noticed any real (as in socially acceptable and intense) hostility toward them like the others.

I don't know about elsewhere, but I live in the NW U.S. and here it's pretty socially unacceptable to be vegetarian. People give them crap about it at restaurants just based on their order (even if they haven't brought up the fact that they are vegetarian). Shit, it's so socially acceptable to bash vegetarians there's even commercials that do it; usually depicting a man on a date with some psychotic girl that's flipping out b/c he ordered meat and is therefore committing 'murder'. I dated a vegan girl for a little under a year back in college, she definitely got crap for it all the time. Especially when she wouldn't order anything when people invited her out to restaurants that didn't have any vegan options.


I suspect a lot of that is because most vegetarians aren't actively trying to punish other people for eating meat (or at the very least, maybe because those that do are considered animal rights activists instead.)

I don't know man, I've met some crazy over-bearing vegetarians in my time. I've even had some spend an entire meal lecturing me about what i'm eating. But you're probably right about the latter part, most of the vegetarians that do shit like that usually have some higher cause they've devoted their minds and souls to.

No, I meant all skins. and it is possible. I already have an account with all skins and I have multiple friends with them too.

U sure man? There's been skins that they've literally released for all of 2 days and then never shown the light of day again.

Then there's all the holiday skins.

And of course the dozens of discontinued skins.



Still, if you do end up finding and buying such an account, I'm curious to know how much something like this would sell for.
