I'm not sure where the 25% number comes from. Reported rape per capita was 28/100,000 in the US in 2009 (per the UN). Figuring that 75% of rapes are unreported, and a 40-year window where a woman is ripe for rapein', you're still looking at a 4% lifetime risk. I'm not downplaying this as a serious concern, but the only way you're getting 1 in 4 is if you expand the definition of rape to cover regret and "I didn't really want to but I went along with it anyway" scenarios. Sorry, but those aren't rape in either a US legal or community standard sense, and distorting the facts doesn't help your case.
Pinkie's new "rape victim pony" avatar is great.
Rassah should switch his avatar back. You're a fine looking guy, but the cat was still cuter.

I am not sure, but I suspect these. Note that those are at 6.50, 6.75, 7.00, plus a little bit of a ramp in front of each. Those are psychological numbers (especially 7, where the big jump is), and the ramps are scalpers doing their thing. Here's where they are on my chart:  Most of the time the walls are sitting on psychological numbers (noobs), or on the trade line +/- (commission + profit, often in .05 steps like was mentioned before) (arbitrage traders and market makers). The market makers bounce back and forth a bit as their inventory moves; arbitrageurs just fill back in every time they're bought through, initially moving in inventory from their outside limits, and then from other exchanges after 6 confirms. All that's normal market behavior. If you're looking for manipulation, you need to spot where there's some unusually large walls that mysteriously appear and disappear outside of those conditions. |

It's not murder. It's capital punishment for a specified crime.
Do you support it, or do you agree that something has changed so these literal, unambiguous laws no longer apply?

There was very little for Jesus to say. Homosexuality was forbidden in both the Old Testament and the New in plain text, historical revisionism is the only reason we even need to have the conversation. Jesus was not on this Earth to make rules, he was here to sacrifice himself for our sins. Along the way he did have a few things to say about morality and God's will. The New Covenant is a fundamental restructuring that negates the Old Testament as literal law. Indeed, this is the very foundation of Christianity that distinguishes it from Judaism. We might as well be arguing about the justifications in the bible for murder, there are some situations that look wrong to modern eyes, but we cannot use them to ignore the plain language that forbids it. The plain language also forbids eating shellfish, and specifies capital punishment for adultery and rebellious children. Do you obey those mandates? |

There are similar explanations for everything you can bring up here, you are trying to fit what you wish God was telling you into what he is telling you. It doesn't work that way. That sword cuts both ways. You're preaching God's will as you see it. People taught it to you because of their own skewed interpretations fit to what they wanted to hear. Perhaps there's some guidance against homosexuality, although I believe the reasons for it are historical and not meant to apply to the modern world, like vast amounts of the Old Testament. An objective reading of the bible has very little to say on this subject; Jesus didn't mention it at all. But even if you believe that this is really against God's will, it's an item of vanishingly small importance. The sheer amount of effort Christians put into this crusade is, in itself, a violation of God's will to love each other, support each other, and build a better world. |

90% chance the snap you heard was a capacitor blowing. If your warranty sucks and you like fixing things, it's not hard to replace a failed cap.
If you want to be sure it's the power supply and not the MB, disconnect the PS from everything except a HD for a test load, then short green to any black on the MB connector with a paper clip.

It's an argument of semantics, but to be precise:
Bitcoin is deflationary, regardless of current events. It is currently devaluing, partly due to mining inflation, but mostly due to market sentiment.
Mining is currently responsible for 36% yearly inflation (always decreasing). Over the last 3 months we've seen roughly 1100% yearly price inflation.

All right, last one unless there are any requests:  A nice view of the latest rally. 9/17 through now, 5 minute resolution, $4 to $8. Do you see the manipulator? |

How are you making those graphs?
It's my own software. I wrote it while designing a bot. |

Leave your client running for a while. It needs to download more blocks. Your transaction should start confirming when you reach 145154.

Here's another one:  9/15, the day of the last 25k dump. 24 hours @ 1 minute resolution. $3-$7. These charts aren't very useful for trading except on very short time scales, but you can learn a lot of important things about limit orders, bots, market psychology, and as a bit of a surprise to me, just how much trading seems to be done by hand. HFT in this world happens on a scale of minutes, not milliseconds. just needs to be going up instead of down. Perhaps I'll post some of that tomorrow.  |

8/1 on the left, today on the right. $4 at the bottom, $14 at the top.

 I'll bet you haven't seen a lot of charts like that. Resolution is 1hr/px X, $0.01/px Y. Stare at it long enough and you'll start seeing when the major players move in and out of the market. Edit: Also, the funny pixelation you see around the trade line isn't JPEGing. This is a PNG, pixel-perfect. That's all real data. |

PCIe is not a bottleneck. Power supplies and cooling are the usual limiting factors.

Did the coins show up at Gox?
What block number do you have on the lower right of your client?

The very fast heat rise suggests that it's not an airflow problem - the heatsink should be able to sink heat for a good 20-60 seconds with zero fan before you reach 90 degrees. So I think your problem is getting the heat TO the heatsink.
Did you do the thermal paste right? The right way: clean off everything with alcohol; put a single dot of paste the size of a BB (or less!) right on the middle of the chip; squish the heatsink straight on.
Don't spread the paste around - this will guarantee air pockets which ruin the cooling. This is the #1 noob mistake. Don't use any more than a BB size - thermal paste isn't actually a good heat conductor, it's just better than the rough surface of the chip and heat sink, so you want the paste as thin as possible. Don't move the heatsink around: you don't need to smear it over the whole chip. 90% of the heat is right in the center.

Actually Pinkie, don't bother answering my questions. I try to be open minded to most things, but I'm really not to the kind of religion you're preaching, and I doubt you're open to the things I have to say. We could go around for a while and not listen to each other, but life is short, and there are better things we can do with the time we have.

I'm pretty happy with my life of debauchery. I don't have a capricious god looking over my shoulder telling me there's anything wrong with it. I'm not harming anyone. I don't live in shame. I have a loving partner. I live a fulfilling life. Why would I want to be free of this? How is it a prison? What's waiting on the outside?
