In your blog posting did you mean to say that we are oversold, or overbought?

I think it is a bit simplistic to say 'conservatives' will be more of a hard sell than liberals, especially in the USA. Traditionally the term 'conservative' is often equated with 'status quo' or 'establishment'. But as the TEA party is demonstrating, the conservatives are the rebels and the liberals are the establishment, including Wall Street and a good chunk of the kleptocracy/corporate establishment.
To the extent that bitcoin is seen as sticking it to the Fed, you should get a lot of grassroots conservatives on board - though not the country club set.
Liberals might be happy to buy their pot with bitcoin, but the realization that they will lose the ability to control our lives from D.C. will drive them bonkers. Hopefully we can sneak it past them before they catch on. Do it in August when they're at the beach house.

Fantastic! Is that in the print edition too?

Well whatever, don't be nit picking .. It's NOT true. But I'm hoping SOME DAY it will be true. Dude, what are you trying to say? Are you saying bitcoin is not appearing in TIME magazine?

Wait a second, bitcoin is going to be in TIME magazine? !!!!!! NOO!! Bitcoin is NOT going to be on the cover of time magazine! READ PLEASE READ CAREFULLY! Who said it's going to be on the cover? Somebody else needs to READ CAREFULLY. The fact it is in TIME at all is gigantic, assuming it is true.

Thank you for the offers, I have acquired the phones I need.

Wow I don't think I'd risk such a large sum in one lump. Has a transaction ever been 'lost in the mail'?

The only downside of a thousand different exchanges is that none of them will have enough activity to make a market.
Is there a way that these exchanges that are all using the same code, but are located in different countries, can somehow aggregate their bids and asks so that there can be trading between exchanges?

The "do we need another exchange" question is partially dependent on where you live. Since there's no PayPal->Mt Gox service anymore it is more painful for us Canadians to purchase bitcoins. A Canadian exchange accepting either PayPal or email bank transfers would be a terrific addition to the economy.

Yeah, I know a guy in Canada who charges $100-$150.
Makes me wish I had chosen differently back in my university days!

I've had this Nokia since November and it is in mint condition. I hardly ever use it and already have a Blackberry so I'd like to be rid of it. Some more details: The Nokia N8 cell phone features a 12 MP sensor and Carl Zeiss optics to capture great images. This Nokia 12MP phone has an HDMI connection to view images and videos with 720p resolution. Equipped with Dolby Digital Plus technology, this Nokia cell phone lets you watch movies with excellent sound. With the built-in social networking feature, the Nokia N8 keeps you perpetually connected with your friends and family. This Nokia 12MP phone comes with a Bluetooth Headset BH-608. Watch your favorite TV channels as this Nokia cell phone has a Web TV. With the Nokia N8, you will never be lost in a new city as it offers voice-guided navigation for more than 70 countries worldwide. One other cool feature it has is an FM transmitter. Looks like the black one:

I like the way the menu on this site works: http://www.plutinogroup.com/Just the hover->reveal sub-menu action, not the behaviour after that when you go to a sub page. I'd like that functionality for a WordPress site I'm building. Does anyone know of an existing plugin, or could build that functionality for me?

Okay, assuming it is indeed 'trivial', I'd be interested in funding a build of this idea on top of a StatusNet (identi.ca) base as a proof of concept.
If any php developers out there want to take a stab at it, post your price here.
When you're done it should include: 1. user A pays user B to follow user A, based on a either i) a price set by user B, or ii) an offer made by user A and agreed to by user B 2. user A charges user B to follow user A, based on a price set by user A 3. user A can tip user B for a particularly brilliant tweet

done! check it out
I noticed sometimes disqus fails to connect, so just refresh if that happens.
That was fast... looks good.

Nice! How about a discussion board/comments section under each project? Pretty easy with Disqus. Or use Facebook Connect+fb board and have the discussion posts go down the Facebook newsfeed for extra virality.

I'll be interested to see how an Anarcho-Socialist defines the term, since it would seem that Socialism requires the use of force by definition.
