chris christie's reputation is sullied, and ted cruz is known as an asshat to most of the populous.. i'd guess marco rubio is the best candidate, especially since he's hispanic.
it's kinda funny that huckabee is so popular, but he isn't even looking to run.
Rubio's Hispanic background won't do any good for Rand Paul. But his links with the tea party could help him gather a few more votes, and that might help him to win the state of Florida. well i guess i'm mistaken.. i thought rand paul needed votes to win.

I thought I would see more people talking about Halt and Catch Fire How about Silicon Valley, that's one of the best shows I've seen in awhile. Vice and Real Time on HBO are also pretty awesome. Edit, forgot about John Oliver, HBO is killing it this year! And the don't even care if people bootleg their stuff, so check it out! Louie is always good as well. ha, we are alike.. i watch all these shows. recently caught silicon valley.. i thought it was funny. i'm a fan, but no a huge one. felt very mike judge-y.

Newer poll #s from CNN out CNN poll: Paul 14, Bush 12, Huckabee 11, Ryan 10, Cruz 9, Christie 8, Rubio 8, Perry 6, Walker 5, Santorum 4 http://i2.cdn.turner.com/cnn/2014/images/06/15/cnn.poll.hillary.democrats.pdfSo, the Ace is up a point since the last one. Nice to see Paul at the top. But who would he chose as a running mate? If he could get Cruz (is he suitable?), the he is up to 23%. Chris Christie and Marco Rubio are also good choices. chris christie's reputation is sullied, and ted cruz is known as an asshat to most of the populous.. i'd guess marco rubio is the best candidate, especially since he's hispanic. it's kinda funny that huckabee is so popular, but he isn't even looking to run.

Fargo Series Finale is on tonight! That show has been so good. I am glad they only made it a 10 episode series, instead of dragging it out all long until it was played out (like most series do).
man, lorne malvo is one funny/sadistic character. i remember cracking up last week at the shit he did... and lester is on skeevy dude. i found it funny that he sent his asian wife into his office without even flinching or giving a shit. what a weasel

Bitcoin is rapidly growing within Argentina as things stand Non repayment of govy debt will accelerate adoption once the new dose of fx pain kicks in
could this possibly be the reason for today's jump in price? it went up $20, at least so far.

The series was a little weak compared to the usual standards but has improved alot towards the end, im still waiting to watch last ep. The first 3 seasons were mainly gripping from the story of the starks getting revenge on the lannisters and the story has now morphed.
Season 4 is still kick ass overall and seems like they can run this show for ages. Reading article that they will have two more seasons of game of thrones. Man when i finished watching this fourth season i will never make to see next one that is next year where is this article? there are supposed to be at least 3 more seasons.. i think george recently stated that he's going to add an additional book. that's 4 books, which could easily equate to more than 4 seasons (seasons 3 and 4 were 1 book). it'll be interesting to see what happens next year, since the next book introduces a lot of new characters... and the story doesn't move forward as much as most fans would like.

My gf likes bitcoin already, too bad she didn't back her wallet up and then her HD crashed after accumulating .3 BTC from faucets. she must be an OG if she got .3 btc from faucets. it would probably take something like a year at today's rates.

Not just.... They can implement things in windows Windows wallet, etc.... although i hate bloatware. having the last 5 years blockchain already installed were it may only require 5-6 month * left to download could be seen as advantageous. * time from manufacture -> distribution centre -> retailerbut, now that microsoft is on the list.. any other dominant companies? im thinking corn/wheat/farmers which will chain react onto pizza companies, cerial companies, and ultimately merchants last i checked, and this was a long time ago (like a year), the blockchain was something like 12GB.. i wouldn't be surprised if it has reached 16GB by now. no way you can fit that in an installation disk, so it would be a problem. i guess windows could package it in a flash drive, but they can do that with every piece of software. it's too big and too much work.

These are honestly the type of feminists that I hate. Why don't they just let the women decide? Possibly just clueless feminists, that don't even understand what Feminism is.
i guess they are just ball-busting extremists who blame everything on men. extremism in any fashion is just.. bad. yes, this directly proves how they're trying to pass the blame on man, I guess they consider themselves perfect and think they don't need to change but that they need to change us.. well i don't know how many of them are ball-busters though. so to be fair, we shouldn't become misogynistic in retaliation.

it's not a very good shirt but it's pretty cheap
how much does the shipping cost?
Shipping for 1 shirt $3.85 Shipping for 2 shirts $4.85 (in United States) Did you notice there is hoodies too, for $24.95/each i would consider getting a hoodie, but good lord their design is so damn ugly. why bitcoin 4 times across the shirt? why no logo or picture? it looks like someone just whipped this up in 5 minutes. Anyone else prefer logo more than this current design? I mean I can do it if it collects more interest. There was already shirts with btc logo and they weren't popular so I decided to come up with something diffrent. i think everyone else would. i'd prefer a shirt with just this image right here the cool part about it, is there are no words. it'd be very subtle. just the logo itself. hell, i might like just a " BTC" with the gold color on the shirt. doesn't stand out too much, and bitcoiners would know what it is while others oblivious to it wouldn't.

there are a lot of republicans around here, more than i thought would be. i dislike republicans more than i do obama, but i definitely don't like obama for a lot of reasons.. privacy concerns, expansion of government, foreign policy, bailing out wallstreet, appointing a cable exec to be head of the FCC..
People need to take full responsible for electing the people they put in power. We are here today because of collective choice of those come before us and our own choices. i hate to be cynical, but people in general are not very smart. they'll just vote for whoever is charismatic, issues and past history be damned. it's also money that influences the votes too.. and i do wish people were more studious with their votes, so that money could have less and less of an effect.. but it just doesn't happen.

Apparently, from the looks of things, the bitcoin community DOES trust GHash. And that is a big, big mistake. We'll probably wait for a massive double spend attack to do anything about it....
i don't know where you got that.. so many people are up in arms, to the point where ghash.io had to address the issue.
