Sitting back and letting your troops kill brown people in foreign countries where your country has no business in.

Yeah, I should probably go out and get a swastika tattoo for being a racist American pig. Idiot...

You know what's not racist?
Voting for Ron Paul and ending these violent wars.

Ending what wars, exactly?

violent wars

violent wars

violent wars

Eloquent...

I'm going to try to gain 35lbs! It probably won't happen though, but I shall do my best.

I could teach you a thing or two.

I've heard through the grapevine that MtGox will be victim of another major hack, will happen in the next month, expect BTC values to plummet once again.

This is it folks, this poster has a pretty strong track record of reliable sources and has been a very active member of the community, furthermore

I am an  active member of several communities, just not this one.  Don't say you weren't warned when you BTC's go back to < 1 100$

Can't wait !

BTC will never get there, not newbie friendly.

Do you really think you've brought novel material to the table? Seriously, guy...figure out what you are talking about before you make wild unsubstantiated claims.

Last time gox was hacked, it was a two week blip in the charts, and that was when there were two shaky alternatives. Now there are tons of exchanges, and the volume will merely shift to them if gox happens to get railed.

Raise the minimum wage so that more people have more money which they can spend, stimulating the economy.

All that would do is devalue an already worthless dollar. It would create nothing. If anything, it would raise food costs and force employers to raise prices.

It's called inflation. It doesn't work and it sustained The Great Depression. Bernanke and friends keep telling you it works and you believe it does in the face of destruction.

Hurr Durr Keynesianism

I think you are confused. Case in point: Australia.

Oh I will... I'll remember that. My thought is that at $500 (now $600) and a chance of a $25k per rig, they want people to be confident in them. Losing $500 isn't much if 3 people buy 2 singles and one idiot buys a rig box or whatever it is called (the 25k one)

Dude... seriously.  Give it up.  Your rhetoric is getting increasingly tiring.

My ignore list is growing, and this thread is now much, much quieter.   The guys in this thread obviously have nothing better to do, just leave them to it.   

I may have to report your post to the mods for being off-topic. In case you missed it, this thread is entitled, "1GH/s, 20w, $700 (was $500) — Butterflylabs, is it for real?   (Part 2)".

The SA trolls are back at it again. You motherfuckers aren't going to come here to start shit anymore. People like me WILL start calling you pieces of shit out.

I'm gonna start my Troll hunting list, as the price goes up, except the animosity to increase guys. We have to handle these assholes RIGHT the first time...

I almost forgot, you and bbit had hard evidence that I was an SA troll. Funny, I've been around a while...

652  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Submersing a rig on: January 06, 2012, 12:27:42 AM
i would rig it similar to current watercooled PC systems. using water as a heatsink, complete with pumps & radiator (or pipe it outside to your hottub)

otherwise you need to fork out huge bucks for the fully submersible oil solution like those guys did with that supercomputer.

The big bucks aren't for the fully submersible solution, they are for the media that you do the submersing in. Standard computer parts, aside from platter hard drives and optical drives can all take the plunge without issue.

Once again, I don't think I should have to drive fifty miles east to score a particular medication or treatment.

It isn't necessary to federal government to make that possible.  It can be possible for each state government to make sure you don't have to drive fifty miles.  Instead of directing the effort towards their country to make that a reality, one can direct their effort towards their state.

Unfortunately, I am not a resident of fifty states and am only allowed a vote in one.


Abortion issue aside, the federal government shouldn't be administering medical care to anyone. What it should do is set a national standard for care available to citizens, regardless of their location within the country. Abolishing state government just means that the national government will need to reach further down and appoint local governments.

Local government is needed, whether it be warlords or governors. You can try and argue with this, but you will be arguing against four billion years of mammalian evolution, not me or any government entity.

Once again, I don't think I should have to drive fifty miles east to score a particular medication or treatment.

How will the government ensure or guarantee this standard of care without funding it?

*edit=fixed typo

If no doctors want to carry it out, so be it. I don't think that they need to ensure the standard of care, merely allow it and let the market decide.

A little side note for you...I am registered as a Libertarian so I can vote in both primaries.
656  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Voting for Ron Paul is voting for love on: January 05, 2012, 07:08:52 PM
I understand that. I just don't think a woman should have to drive up to New York from Alabama because she wants an abortion. It is a federal issue. I don't want the medical care available to me to vary from state to state.

This is an interesting point, buuuuuuut, it's still difficult to presume that there is only one entity to rule over all of a country.  Consider the same as one entity to rule over all of the planet?  It may be useful to break down the rule and authority to individual states to allow each state to handle the dispute so that they can receive the same kind of effort that a president would.

Sure it may be inconvenient to have to drive to another state if the state which you reside abolishes abortion.
But what about if abortion is abolished entirely throughout the country?  Will you then complain that you must travel to another country?  continent?  planet?  solar system?

I think the evilnesses and goodnesses in which authority exists should be made smaller (e.g. states vs country) as it then allows more direct attention.

Take schools and colleges for example.  A class with 200 students vs another class with 20 students.  Depending on the size, each student will receive more or less attention.


I don't think religion has any place in government. Yes, I would complain that I needed to travel to another country. Do you really think that because you happen to live in an area full of half-wits who cling to religion that you too should have to abide by their stance, however ignorant it may be? Think about the implications of what you are saying.

How would you feel if Christian Scientists called the shots in the US? No medical care for anyone, anywhere. God will provide. Would that be ok? So why are catholics calling the shots?

If you place more faith in state government than federal, you have obviously not dealt with government in any significant matter. Go to some assembly meetings...some of these fuckwits can barely string a sentence together. State governments are full of simpletons. Michelle Bachmann, anyone? Let's hear it for the United Countries on the American Continent...

Fractured is not better. If you think it is, move to Africa.
It's you who needs to think more than one step ahead. If you give the federal government the ability to administer medical care to everyone, then it can easily be taken away if the christian scientists ever do call the shots. If you leave the government out of it then that will be much more difficult, as it should be. You are practically arguing against yourself in consecutive sentences. As for "fractured is not better...etc," lets take that to the extreme and get rid of state governments all together. Is that what you want (this sounds snide but it is an honest question)?  Why do you think our country was formed as a union of states?

Abortion issue aside, the federal government shouldn't be administering medical care to anyone. What it should do is set a national standard for care available to citizens, regardless of their location within the country. Abolishing state government just means that the national government will need to reach further down and appoint local governments.

Bullshit.

Softlayer is a hosting company. Federales would have to show up with specific and detailed warrants to review each and every hosting instance, approved by a judge, to be able to investigate anything. Judges do not permit blind fishing expeditions to watch "176 board members".

Furthermore, an internal Interpol memo would not be referencing illegal activities being done by authorities in the United States. And if such a fanciful document existed, it sure would not be shown to somebody who would immediately come and post it on a message forum that is hosted on the specific hosting company that is supposedly being investigated. Most especially not a new member with half a dozen posts. This is sock puppetry by the FUD squad.

Do you recall the guy with the heavily redacted comicon pass FBI memo? That was a funny one.
