No, the screen was dodgy, but it's the rest of the laptop that's now not working. I doubt simply replacing the screen will magically make it boot up. What makes you think it's the video card?
i don't think it's the video card. i think most likely your laptop is fried. it could be your power supply that's faulty, especially if your battery is showing signs of wear. if you plug it in and leave the laptop off, do you see any LED lights that turn on? too bad you're in europe, where latops cost more  might as well open the thing up.. probably not very difficult. |

so your screen is fucked? it's either your video card of the screen, and if it's the screen.. that's an easy fix for about $50 off ebay.
if it's not turning on, it's probably not worth fixing.

Sorry Phinn, don't get me wrong, I usually take good notice on the posts/advice you give in these forums but.... why is this important for Bitcoin?  ? Because a lot of people watch porn, and paying with bitcoin is anonymous, so that your parents don't know you are paying with your credit card, instead, you can use Bitcoin. Who pays for porn anymore? lol Tons of people. There was a guy who had to call in to a psychologist for assistance because he kept spending his entire paycheck on porn and had lost control over himself as a result. He couldn't pay his rent or anything else because he was obsessed with buying as much porn as possible... it's funny how these people exist, and other people who don't have this kind of addiction think it doesn't exist. |

and i think solar roads is kind of ridiculous considering the amount of maintenance work that needs to be done. and what about when there's traffic? cars will block the panels which will decrease efficiency.
i don't know about you guys, but in my area if you get solar powered panels.. you still have to pay your utilities company $5-10 a month. it seems like edison lobbied for congress to force solar panel users to be legally required to have edison's grid connect to your home.

these pumps and dumps of alt currencies.. i wonder if it's the same group of people releasing these new cryptos, pumping them up, and then have suckers buy all in. once they feel like they've pumped enough, they just dump it off and move on to the newest crypto.
that's such a fucking ponzi scheme... the people who think "might as well invest in alt coins, they might be worth $1,000 one day" are just being suckered.

The West had no alternative to impose sanctions. USA, Russia and the UK signed an agreement in 1994 with Ukraine guarantying the Ukrainian borders, when Ukraine gave up their share of the soviet nuclear weapons: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Budapest_Memorandum_on_Security_AssurancesIf they did nothing, several NATO countries (Poland, Romania, Baltic countries, etc) would start asking is the alliance had any value. Like the 1994 agreement, the OTAN pact is just a scrap of paper. well that's pretty fucked. as psycho as russia is as a nation, they would probably have thought twice about invading the ukraine if they had nuclear weapons. this and the whole north korea thing.. goes to show that it does indeed pay off to have nuclear weapons. and that's a damn dangerous thing. |

i think the thing that would get people most interested in bitcoin is to tell them "you can make a lot of money." it's not convenient to say, but let's be honest.. we live in a capitalistic society here. money to the individual is more important than bitcoin's cause.. we see it everywhere. so many scammers who screw over newbies who try to get into the ecosystem.

man, vice is really good.. why can't our fucking media be as good as they are at reporting hard-hitting world events? it feels like the media exists to make you dumber.
tonight's episode was about the aftermath of the nuclear disaster in japan and how the radiation is affect the people there, and then the last one covered veterans with PTSD. one of those dudes died in a train from a heroin overdose, and one other guy has red spots on his face, since he's a meth head.

Oh.. so that justifies this post. I will not blame him. DRK at $100 will mean a profit of 14,100x for him. But the important question is why just $1? If I was confident of a crypto increasing in value by more than 10,000x, then I'd buy that coin worth at least $1,000. But just $1? you are basically re-iterating my point. if he's so confident about his insider info, then he would have invested more than $1 in it. |

once you're out of newbie stage, which is by this tuesday (and u have to make more than 14 posts), you don't need to worry about this anymore. it's just to prevent spammers and newbs from sullying up the forum.

this could be quite interesting if PG did actually pay the dues.. all the drama that would ensue if he gets in and starts calling brock out. as a bystander, i would be at least entertained. so PG, how do you intend to bug him? and did you read all the fine print on membership.. as in could they just boot your ass and keep you BTC if you become such a nuisance? and if these guys are just taking the membership money to launder, don't you think that losing your 100k of btc kinda helps them out?

the funny thing is that this is kind of like ratting out your compatriots after getting caught. whoever rats is just a rat bastard. basically you get caught and then point your finger at someone else to reduce your "sentence." |

Yes Bitcoin was obviously the first and it got the most exposure, so its the highest
But my question is, Is there any other coin that can reach or pass bitcoin's marketcap?
Some young coin, they have a few years to ripe like bitcoin.
Can we see so much grow in other coins to?
i'm thinking it can only happen if bitcoin suffered a catastrophic collapse.. otherwise, there's way too much infrastructure and support that comes with bitcoin. i don't think there's a way for another coin to catch up to bitcoin while it is the main cryptocurrency. |

i know the chances are extremely extremely extremely unlikely, but there's still a chance that someone could create a wallet and stumble upon the stashed BTC.. so it's near impossible, but not fully impossible.
Riiiight... Just like I know the chances are extremely extremely extremely unlikely, but there's still a chance (through quantum tunneling) that I could walk through a solid brick wall without damaging myself or the wall. Try running a survey and seeing how many sane people would agree that it is "near impossible, but not fully impossible" for a human to quantum tunnel through a wall. Or, just like I know the chances are extremely extremely extremely unlikely, but there's still a chance that all the air molecules could spontaneously collect in one corner of the room, leaving a vacuum in the rest of the room and causing everybody to suffocate and die. It's "near impossible, but not fully impossible". That's why everybody carries Scuba tanks around with them every day, right? i'm not saying it's going to happen, but my statement still holds true. extremely unlikely by orders of magnitude. there's still a chance that not all the coins are lost, at least based on technicality. |

I especially enjoyed J.A. Andande's take on the issue. While I may disagree with his sloppy HIV vs AIDS analogy as a biologist, and the citation of a reparations article, I think his overall message should be the ultimate takeaway from this whole situation. Action is what matters. As a society we spend far too much time quibbling over making sure we are politically correct in speech, when essentially, talk is meaningless. http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/10972668/mark-cuban-candid-take-race-prejudiceyeah that is the gist of what i agree with/said. of course racism is bad, but i don't think people question enough about why and how it is bad.. they are quick to point fingers. it's more about someone's intention than the raw words that come out of their mouths.. everything should be taken contextually. |

because, we trust.
because, we are a astonishing power of calculation.
because, it's a verified core software and miners work.
becuase, main site and leadger viewer exist.
at the core of it all is that people believe in it being a legitimate crypto.. money goes where the people think it has value. bitcoin is building a lot of infrastructure, so it would be pretty hard for it to be replaced by another crypto.. barring maybe a total collapse of BTC really. |

ha, this is kind of like a mini-cold war.. where the U.S. imposes sanctions, and russia looks for ways to give the U.S. the finger. is it me or does anyone else think this might not turn out well?
