Yeah, total price gouge on that, anyone with an internet connection and the ability to type cityname.craigslist.org/sys can get the same or better deal...

This is like when people buy up 10 million domain names they're completely uninterested in and then try and sell them for 1000x what the reg fee is...

my mistake.

No big deal, truthfully I shouldn't have even bothered to post about being first, I'm just still riled up by a post Matthew N. Wright made regarding one of my posts in another thread...

Why you guys still value things in a currency that is quickly losing status as the world's reserve currency is beyond me... in the 1970s when gold topped $100/ounce everyone thought it was in some super huge bubble and was sure to fall back under $100. Then it passed $200, $300, $400 and they still thought it was going to fall down under $200 "at some point". Well, it did, in 1999 over 20 years later. It was only after it passed $600/ounce that people realized just how horrible Nixon and Carter had screwed up the economy, things that people are realizing about Bush/Obama now.

This has got o be one of the best things I've read on here in a while, very well said!  Smiley

also, theres a thread about this already: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=39127.msg479824#new

I did a search before starting a thread, looks like the one you linked to was started nearly 30 minutes after I posted this (see time stamp below)

Apple chief executive Steve Jobs is officially stepping down.

We may be interested in taking this over.  Please PM me with any details.
Why don't you try not being a typical lazy voice in the crowd messaging OP explaining why you deserve it?

You've got some serious balls calling me out Matthew... After all the shit people were slinging about you that I managed to avoid taking part in, you call me out? Really?

What are some solutions you all use to keep track of several passwords without using the same password multiple places?

KeePass is a great utility and you can use it for organizing software keys as well... (and it's open source!)

Just saw this come across the wire...  What do people think of this? Is Tim Cook up to the task as successor?

Quote
To the Apple Board of Directors and the Apple Community:

I have always said if there ever came a day when I could no longer meet my duties and expectations as Apple's CEO, I would be the first to let you know. Unfortunately, that day has come.

I hereby resign as CEO of Apple. I would like to serve, if the Board sees fit, as Chairman of the Board, director and Apple employee.

As far as my successor goes, I strongly recommend that we execute our succession plan and name Tim Cook as CEO of Apple.

I believe Apple's brightest and most innovative days are ahead of it. And I look forward to watching and contributing to its success in a new role.

I have made some of the best friends of my life at Apple, and I thank you all for the many years of being able to work alongside you.

Looks like Apple shareholders don't have confidence in him...

Bitcoin will be a topic of discussion on NPR's Morning Edition tomorrow http://www.npr.org/programs/morning-edition/

ETA:
Here is a direct link to the player...  Overall it's a good program, BUT it's a bit outdated... Mentioned using MyBitcoin, though at the very end there's a 5 second overdub saying MyBitcoin had been robbed in the time since the story was produced.

Austin? Moscow? If the selection of Thailand and Amsterdam are anything to go by, I'm guessing Las Vegas is somewhere on the list... :-D

Depending on cost, we may try to attend atbleast one of those, or the cruise...

We were at just shy of a 150% ROI on our bullion investment (142% to be exact...) we wanted it to push up to an even 150% or better and that's when the last hard down turn happened... We ended up with just under 100% ROI (double our money) in the space of about 8 months... so still not bad overall...
15  Economy / Economics / Re: Silver shot up. on: August 20, 2011, 06:45:32 PM
Yeah I'm a bit disappointed I cashed out a big chunk of my silver bullion a month or two back...

Hopefully the conference is so amazing people have lost all sense of reality.  I will excuse this lack of reporting if this is the case.

Yeah, I hope the conference is a success... if it turns out to be a flop it will take a while before another conference would be able to build support...
17  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Conference 2011 NYC on: August 20, 2011, 06:35:13 PM
C'mon guys? Throw us a bone here!

I know right?

Regardless of where the next conference is, there needs to be far better reporting from it.  We put a lot of effort in to the mobile app and now we're not getting any content to push out through it...
18  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Conference 2011 NYC on: August 20, 2011, 06:28:47 PM
Also hopefully by then the Casinos will accept Bitcoin Wink

I've seriously considered approaching some of the bigger hotels to find out if I could get them to start accepting bitcoin for room reservations and such...  If anyone would be able to survive market volatility it would be multi-billion dollar resorts...  They make most of their money on the gaming end anyways. (which I guarantee they wouldn't accept Bitcoin for due to IRS and gaming department accountability.)
19  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Conference 2011 NYC on: August 20, 2011, 06:15:48 PM
never been before! it's horrible! ATT is worthless here

Perhaps the next conference can be held in Las Vegas... We have excellent wireless service, tons of meeting space, and some amazing nightspots. Not to mention great hotels...

Apparently, there are no plans to stream the kick off.


You can always download the Bambuser app and stream live from your mobile. Smiley

Yeah, I'm surprised no one has downloaded the ustream app and started streamin it...
