I get the same Ubuntu problem when I first start up bitcoin-qt, but then I just close it and all the subsequent starts show the menu and icon.

Bitcoin is threatening to the existing power structure. I doubt there are many fans in the global elite.

Unfortunately buying pizza at 2:40AM isn't the easiest feat outside a city :|
I've lived in a small town before. Brutal. |

It has been discussed before, but I think it is still a big problem. Most of the world's currencies allow you to buy something with 1.0 units or above. For example, in the US we have these 99 cent stores. Kind of a joke, because most things in there are prices above $1.00 and after taxes are certainly above $1.00.
No, that's not the joke. The joke is that a long time ago, 99 cent stores actually did sell things for less than dollar, after tax. For example, I have a first paperback edition of Biggles Flies West, which is now rather dated by its price tag: 3/6 (that's three shillings and sixpence), or 0.175 pounds sterling. A reprint now costs 6 pounds. In the book, Biggles and company dine at the "Jolly Shipmates" tavern, despite the exorbitant price (a whole shilling, or 0.05 pounds) charged for sausages and mash. Currencies in which you can't get a decent meal for a fraction of a currency unit are something of a novelty, and most people old enough to remember what prices were "back in the day" complain endlessly about how worthless their money has become. I think these people will welcome Bitcoin. Dollar Tree in the USA sells everything in the store for $1. The tax isn't up to them. In general though, I hate any store that implies a price in its name, but fails to adhere to it. Also, your point is spot on. Before the 99 cent store, there were the 5 and Dimes. |

I must disagree with the gun regulation bit. Background checks are far different from a gun registry. Gun registries open up a Pandora's box of potential government confiscation and widespread legal threats. Background checks are simply being prudent with gun sales. Other than that, it is a solid summary, even if it is a pipe dream. Yeah, I like most of what he said, but not a registry. I didn't see that specifically mentioned though. |

If you give me 10000 BTC, I'll order you a medium pepperoni from Pizza Hut.

Was the pizza of lore just a medium? Damn. |

I think it's weird that it has not been mentioned in The Big Bang Theory yet.
Same. I think in the coming year we'll see a lot more references than in the past. More people than ever have been coming up to me and saying, "Hey, remember that bitcoin thing you told me about?" It has renewed my interest definitely. |

Did The Good Wife mention bitcoin by name or was it just about a cryptographic currency?

This is equating server ability with trading volume. How can we know the volume of an exchange that hasn't opened yet?
In any case, the link looks fishy, so I haven't clicked it.
I clicked it. its a legit website. lots of hyperbole. i'd like to see if they can back up the claims they make though. says in the corner sidebar they are backed by the Uruguayan Govt and the project is 56percent complete Checked it out. Still seems kinda shady. Guess time will tell. I googled this and found this reddit posting awhile back: http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1dkql3/Some guy from the company answers questions. |

I think people are seriously abusing the word 'scam' here. Just because you have ideological disagreements doesn't make something a scam. Bitcoin has a long history of scams; this isn't one.

I don't really get the restrictions..
They frustrate me too, but there'd be way too much spam otherwise. But all the stuff that gets me riled up to post occurs in threads I can't post too!  Anyway, here's 1 to start off with. |
