9781  Bitcoin / Pools / Re: [ANN] CoinLab Protected Pool - Now with PPS Bonuses up to 200% on: November 22, 2012, 01:25:06 AM
Our first work unit online will be performing computations related to Gene Sequencing. 
We also have a deal coming together related to Image Processing and Video Encoding, but it is too early to say anything more than this now.

Very cool!

Are the PPS Bonuses coming back anytime soon?  It's been a week since the last one AFAIK.

PM me a code for each game to test, and I will leave a positive 50-word review to boost your sales through the roof.

I never told you once, so your use of the word 'again' doesn't make sense. I will now tell you for the first time, since you will continue to imagine motives that suit your world view until I do. I did so to point out a period of time in the past where environmental decimation was not occurring at the rate it does now. Simple, isn't it?

Nonsense.  This is exactly the type of blithering unawareness to be expected from someone who can't wrap his mind around a simple, commonplace Latin phrase.  

Environmental destruction happened on far grander scales in the past.  Your vast ignorance is showing; you wave it around like it's something to be proud of.

Example 1: End-Botomian mass extinction

Example 2: Cambrian–Ordovician extinction event

Example 3: Australia/New Zealand Megafauna Extinction

Example 4: North & South American Megafauna Extinction

*Examples 1-4 all occurred when the Earth's human population was much lower than 300 million.

That's just off the top of my head.  Now go back impersonating Al Gore, you doom mongering chicken little enviro-weenie.   Kiss

I'll let you go on and continue arguing against what you believe are the motives behind the words used in a conversation between two other people. Have fun.

Tell me again why you felt the need to mention the number of people the earth does not have, before going on to correct that mistake with the actual population?

I've heard the 'but but Freedom only worked back in the Bronze Age when there was hardly anyone around' line enough times to know when that card is being dealt.

FYI:  This thread is being held in a public forum, where all are free to read and comment.  If that bothers you GFY, GTFO, etc.   Wink

We don't live in a world of 300 million people. We live in a world of 7 billion people
Nobody on this thread said we live in a world of 300 million people.  

But go ahead, beat up that strawman.  Show him who's the boss using obvious, uncontested facts.   Tongue

I never said someone said such a thing. If you wish to debate me, then try to debate what I'm saying.

You strongly implied such a thing by denying and correcting the 300 million figure (which nobody ever mentioned previously).

If you wish to debate persuasively, try responding to the topics at hand instead of setting up strawmen to knock down.

Framing the obvious as some kind of argument-clincher ("The earth has far more than 300 million people, SO U R WRONG & I WIN!!!1") doesn't earn you anything besides ridicule.

Most libertarians can easily explain why centralized planning fails to solve, and spontaneous order solves, the challenges created by vastly increased population density.

Your attempt to steal the argument by implying that libertarians can only deal with the distant, underpopulated past is old, unoriginal weak sauce.   Smiley

You just used ad hominem in your argument! My usage of grammar is not related to my argument about ad hominem. LOL.

No I didn't, at least not until I added this example in an explicit yet futile attempt to educate you on the correct use of the phrase in question:

Quote
EG: I'm not surprised FirstAscent isn't sufficiently well educated to avoid embarrassing himself by utterly failing to comprehend well known rules of debate.
It's so typical for a Libertarian hater to be ridiculously deficient in intellectual rigor, yet go on the attack nevertheless.

See the difference between attacking a person vs. attacking a person's argument?

I doubt you can.  If you were capable of abstract thought and critical reasoning you wouldn't be going around spreading FUD about libertarians!   Cheesy

/first two ad homs are free on Mondays   Cool
9788  Other / Politics & Society / Re: How Libertarianism was created by big business lobbyists on: November 19, 2012, 07:51:37 PM
Acccusing someone of ad hominem is pointless, useless, and shows you have no argument to refute what was said.

You don't accuse someone of ad hominem, you accuse their argument of ad hominem.

Otherwise, you'd be committing the exact same fallacy.

This is based on an untracked letter weighing less than 50g.

Mtgox last = £7.40
£2.38 / £7.40 =  0.3216

I only want melt price plus actual shipping costs.

I never said I was selling it for 3 BTC + 0.3 postage, not sure where you got that from.

 Huh

Melt price is $35?

*checks Kitco*

 Roll Eyes

If you are going to quote me please do it fully.
I said I want melt price plus actual shipping costs.


BTC3 * $11.70 = $35.10

If you are going to accuse me of quoting you out of context please check your figures first.

Maybe you are using some strange metric kind of European math?   Kiss

its due to emc being disabled

Thanks for that heads up.

Yeah, thanks for the explanation Graet.

This emphasizes what I said earlier about the need for Hashpower being able to detect and disable pools with high (5%-100%) rejects.

Also, having more than one offline pool is important for similar reasons. 

Nobody's miners should be stuck pointed at dead/failing pools.
9794  Other / Politics & Society / Re: How Libertarianism was created by big business lobbyists on: November 19, 2012, 06:13:04 PM
This is 100% ad hominem, the fallacious kind. The validity of an intellectual argument in no way hinges on who makes the argument or why. Nice try though.

That^.

Plus, turnabout is fair play:

Market has shown 4 10k share orders for ~12 hours, but dashboard doesn't show any leased activity and I'm only mining offline.  Is there something stuck in the tube?

Feature Request:  Automatic failover to offline pool when rejects go over 5-10% (depending on leasing market rate).

It's not worth the extra PPS when rejects are too high, and a PITA to constantly monitor/calculate/switch for this.
