If I am reading this correctly, it could only happen during this weird period when we had several blockchains floating around. Is that correct?

@myrkul

Hey man, If you find yourself in Wisconsin let's go shooting!

 Cheesy

As far as self defense, here is how I approach a business that does not allow firearms.
If they have a sign posted, I ask them if they are taking responsibility for my safety instead? I have a legal document that a lawyer friend made for me. It has a place for the manager to sign and agree to protect my life with their life in the event an armed intruder. They promise to fight the intruder while allowing the customers to escape.
No one has signed yet. And I'm quite sure if someone started shooting they would be the first to run and leave me to die. I don't patronize places where I cant protect myself and have zero security.

Here the government serves at the pleasure of an armed populace. 

At this point, that's mostly an illusion. I have my doubts about even a full-on armed revolt's success at this point, and anything less is doomed to failure and being labeled as a terrorist group.

The point of the 2nd amendment was to make sure the populace had equivalent armament, and that hasn't been true for some time now.

Violent revolution has never resulted in lasting liberty anyway.
Yeah, agreed. The only way an armed revolution would work in America is if things got really bad, like "Bashar Assad" bad. That's how it's supposed to be. We don't want a revolt every election cycle, but no one could march us into the ovens Euro-style.

No. It will peak at precisely 49.129837 then fall to precisely 6.92746453424567 and remain for exactly 127 hours before falling to 2.4826153538 for 16.986 days. All this can be considered fact, as I have written it on the Internet.
7425  Economy / Speculation / Re: The rally is over on: March 12, 2013, 05:08:11 PM
Bold statements show only ignorance. I mean if I say "Bitcoin will break $50 today!" does that counteract the OP's prediction and cause the price to become $40?

Well, I just tossed a coin and it looks like the OP was right. I stand corrected. 
7426  Economy / Speculation / Re: SELL! SELL! SELL! on: March 12, 2013, 05:01:43 PM
Yes, please do panic sell your coins! I will have them waiting when you are back to panic buy.  Smiley

I think OP has a point. The new amateur speculators seem to panic easy. I smell blood and profits!  Cool

i know alots gone on with guns but its your own damn faults for allowing the general population to have them

Thing is, if it weren't for allowing the general populace to have guns, there wouldn't be a United States of America.

Though possibly, if it weren't for trying not to allow the general populace to have guns, there wouldn't be a United States of America.

Good point.
I would add that a ban on guns in the USA would be the end of the USA as we know it. Here the government serves at the pleasure of an armed populace. Without guns in our hands, all other rights are subject to the whims of whoever is in power. We like the government to walk on egg shells and fear us.

... The short answer is hunting weapons of sufficient caliber to humanely kill the game being hunted.  That's it, with few exceptions.  ...

I also find this complicated. But I don't understand the hunting exception. I own guns, including military type guns, but I don't use them to kill animals. Why should I be disallowed from having a gun just because I don't want to kill an innocent animal with it?

The tutorials are located here for setting up OpenVPN, L2TP/IPSec and PPTP on all supported devices:

http://www.bitronictech.net/knowledgebase/72/Secure-SSL-VPN

All of the required information was sent to you in your welcome emails. If you do have any issue feel free to open a support ticket for a faster response then raising the issue in the forums.

Thanks for your business!

It would be nice if you had a tutorial for Linux that didn't use NetworkManager, which is a piece of shit, and Ubuntu, which is a bigger piece of shit. It would be nice to know how to do it properly, with CLI tools.

I use Ubuntu with a VPN. I just use network manager > configure VPN > then add your username and password. After that you can just click on VPN after your connected to the Internet. Super easy, right?

I assume those who want to limit guns in our society also want to disarm the police? They are, after all, just people with guns. They might go nuts and kill you. Without any recourse for your own defense, it will more important than ever to limit the mag capacity of police and limit the types of weapons they may posses.
If you don't think the police should also disarm, I'm curious as to your logic.
It's time for the cops to trade in their glocks and ARs for revolvers and double barrel shotguns.

I'm sure all those things happen. But, for what it's worth, I've never had a problem.

I think it will confirm when your caught up. It is always a good idea to make a backup of the wallet.dat file before an upgrade. Just in case.

Investing is little more than a fancy word for gambling. Borrowing money to gamble is a bad idea. You don't want to find yourself here in a few weeks asking for a loan to "win it all back". Remember only speculate with what you can loose.

Dead wrong.
Then we disagree. I have been investing for 25+ years. Financial instruments, stocks, angel investing, land, even art. I do my homework and it has paid well for me. However every investment came with risk and no promise of reward.
It's like horse racing, some horses are likely to better than others, but no horse is sure to win.

Doesn't this just come down to people having different definitions of gambling vs investing?  For some, investing means purchasing a productive asset to secure long term gains, whereas gambling means betting on a discrete outcome.  For those using those meanings, they are indeed very different things.  Investment still involves risk, of course.
I suppose we are on the same page after all. You are probably right about me being a little to loose with the word gambling.
