The odds of a earth-like planet forming are also virtually nothing.
There is no Universal rule that a planet must be like Earth for life to survive on it. You would be amazed where life can survive, bacteria has been found living in molten lava. Furthermore, just because the odds of an Earth-like planet forming are slim doesn't mean it wont happen given enough time and space. The Universe is absurdly huge. In 2009 UniverseToday reported that "The most current estimates guess that there are 100 to 200 billion galaxies in the Universe, each of which has hundreds of billions of stars". I'll let you figure out the rest. |

If you used this application you may have noticed it would crash every time bitcoincharts would add or remove a currency. I have updated this application once again so that this problem no longer exists. It will simply adapt to most changes in the jSON structure.

http://www.nasa.gov/topics/solarsystem/features/dna-meteorites.htmlThis was an interesting article I found on another forum I visit but it wasn't receiving much attention for what I personally think is one of the most important scientific breakthroughs in history. NASA-funded researchers have evidence that some building blocks of DNA, the molecule that carries the genetic instructions for life, found in meteorites were likely created in space. The research gives support to the theory that a "kit" of ready-made parts created in space and delivered to Earth by meteorite and comet impacts assisted the origin of life.
"People have been discovering components of DNA in meteorites since the 1960's, but researchers were unsure whether they were really created in space or if instead they came from contamination by terrestrial life," said Dr. Michael Callahan of NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, Md. "For the first time, we have three lines of evidence that together give us confidence these DNA building blocks actually were created in space." Callahan is lead author of a paper on the discovery appearing in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America. This has some huge implications. If this is correct than the chances we are alone in the Universe just dropped to virtually nothing. This could also mean that we share the same basic DNA structure or building blocks as a lot of other life in the Universe. Basically it seems like they think these objects floating out in cold dead space have the capacity to act as a "chemical factory" and produce the nucleobases which are responsible for life on Earth. "In fact, there seems to be a 'goldilocks' class of meteorite, the so-called CM2 meteorites, where conditions are just right to make more of these molecules," adds Callahan. If you consult the Wikipedia page for Panspermia you will see it offers a slightly different explanation. The chemicals they carry could be the result of collisions between planets that harbor life. Panspermia (Greek: πανσπερμία from πᾶς/πᾶν (pas/pan) "all" and σπέρμα (sperma) "seed") is the hypothesis that life exists throughout the Universe, distributed by meteoroids, asteroids and planetoids.[1][2]
Panspermia proposes that life that can survive the effects of space, such as extremophile bacteria, become trapped in debris that is ejected into space after collisions between planets that harbor life and Small Solar System Bodies (SSSB). Bacteria may travel dormant for an extended amount of time before colliding randomly with other planets or intermingling with protoplanetary disks. If met with ideal conditions on a new planets' surfaces, the bacteria become active and the process of evolution begins. Panspermia is not meant to address how life began, just the method that may cause its sustenance.[3]

Wow. Another big blow for the bitcoin community. At least there seems to be a positive side to this whole story. _A_GIFT_TO_THE_COMMUNITY_
After the claims have all been filed and dealt with we will be releasing the
entire MyBitcoin processing engine into the public domain. Our only hope is
that the community can improve and adapt the software to all sorts of new and
interesting Bitcoin-related things. |

I'm glad I found this thread. I was freaking out at first. I thought bitcointalk.org was trying to steal my password. Let's see how Google reacts :-)
Indeed. |

PayPal are criminals and it's only because of stuff like this they are so powerful.
You only make it big in the corporate world if you know how to be an a-hole.
Ignore their flimsy email full of baseless threats and keep the damn domain.
They can't demand that you simply let the domain expire, don't be scared of them.

Following Swartz's indictment, Greg Maxwell, a contributor to Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons, has published a torrent on The Pirate Bay containing 33Gb of papers from the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society that were published before 1923 and are thus public domain in the United States, but previously only available at a cost from JSTOR. Damn straight. What a legend. I just looked that up and found the torrent: http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/6554331I first heard about this the other day, but I did not know the list of charges was so extensive. I can't understand humanity. We incriminate our smartest people because of financial interests, it disgusts me. Especially when the so called "criminal" was simply trying to make a bulk of knowledge freely available. We have lost sight of what the law should really be used for. It should be used to stop sinister, unethical, and just plain wrong behavior. Now you may claim it's hard to define what right and wrong really are, but I think we can all agree imprisoning a man for trying to better humanity can't be in the good spectrum. |

What I wanna know is how you dead shits manage to get these viruses in the first place...I mean it totally amazes me. Do you guys just download warez all day long or something?
It is no surprise what so ever that mining trojans are now in the wild. A decent botnet could generate some massive profit via bitcoin mining. Now they don't need to lend out their botnets to anyone or deal with stupid spam.
All they need to do is make the victims PC run some mining app in the background and they have a constant money inflow. This will only continue to gain popularity amongst botnet owners.
In order to avoid becoming a part of such a botnet one must take the proper precautions when browsing and downloading from the internet. 95% of the time these precautions will keep you clean.
What are these precautions you may ask? Well there are a few simple things you can do to immediately increase your defenses exponentially. These instructions are aimed at users of Windows machines.
1) Have a good virus and malware scanner (eg Avira AntiVir and MalwareBytes)
2) Have a good firewall(s) and system monitor (eg COMODO and WinPatrol)
3) Have some sort of spam-filter for your emails and don't open anything suspicious.
4) Use the NoScript and AdBlock Plus browser add-ons or similar. This is important,
you are much safer to disable scripting on all websites and white-list those
that you trust. NoScript for Firefox is very good.
5) Don't run suspicious files and always scan files before you run them unless you
trust the file is 100% safe. Keep an eye on your Firewall and system monitor to
see if the file tries to do anything suspicious.
There are many other things you can do, and although some of those things may appear to be quite complex or tedious at first it really is worth the extra effort to do these things.

I would get into contact with the school and demand to know why they are teaching my son false information. You do realize you'd be calling your (public) school every other day, right?  Hahaha. Yeah...that's one of the reasons I don't want kids. I don't have time to home school a child, although it would probably be kind of fun for a while...so I'd have to send the kid to a public school (since private schools have proven to be a waste of money imo and full of rich kids who take everything for granted). I've thought about becoming a teacher too, but I don't think I would last very long. |

What do you do?
Firstly I try to figure out if my kid is trying to fool me with some stupid prank letter. If it turns out to be real then I would get into contact with the school and demand to know why they are teaching my son false information. Then I would continue on with some massive rant about thinking for ones self and learning to question everything you are told, even if it comes from so called authoritative figures. It's a good thing I don't want kids. |

http://www.wnd.com/index.php?pageId=286217If congress imposed a 100% tax on everyone making over $250k, confiscated all of last year's profits by the Fortune 500 companies, and took all assets of America's 400 billionaires...we could fund our gov't for 8 months. WOW...WTF do they use all that cash on?!? Does it go back to helping society? It seems like the only thing they achieve is greater and greater debt. |

Download Hamachi and set up a LAN-like network over the internet with people you trust. The application comes with a simple chat utility, and all convo's are encrypted with AES-256 using the network key shared between members of your group. |

This just proves how ridiculously stupid people are. I can honestly not even believe what I am seeing here. FUCK PEOPLE ARE DUMB.
PS - Ubuntu isn't that fucking hard to say you retards.

I thought some of you guys may enjoy this cool little browser game I made. I tried to make it feel more like a game than other war games (level loading, high-scores etc), but it's still in a beta phase and could be a lot better (ideas are appreciated). I also designed it so each time you start a new game most of the level passwords will change. This is basically aimed at programmers/hackers so don't expect to find it fun if you don't like mental challenges that require logic and technical skills. Some of the levels are a little repetitive so I appreciate good puzzle ideas. http://aidse.co.cc/ |

I know I'm late here, but what sad day. I went to check your site real quick and see it has turned in to a scam page  lol, wetcoin isn't up anymore, it was probably one of those filler pages. It turns out my host doesn't like adult content.  So you did you ever get a look at wetcoin? |

No too bad. I can confirm this has no viruses in it, I just looked through the source code myself.
I noticed that it locks up whenever it updates the ticker (every 30 seconds). You should create a background thread for that.
