The bitmixer campaign pays twice as much as what you are offering and their deal has been open for close to a year. You will probably need to raise your rates a little bit

Well, he is allowing users to have more than one signature (I guess that's what he means with "allow to add other link"), so you could theoretically have both (I think Bitmixer allows that as well, right?).

"Please Don't Vote - A Message From The Republican Party": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KdGXD9me8no (a little over 3 minutes, but very funny) Grin

From the description of the video:

Quote
The Republican party is counting on poor voter turnout to win back the Senate on November 4th, 2014. Do your part to help the GOP and STAY HOME.

Who's your favorite YouTuber? People can find other cool YouTubers by looking at this thread!

One of my favorites is DavidSoComedy. He can sing too (look up therunsmusic)
Others include WongFuProductions, etc. hah

Hmm, I have several I really like, though I'm not sure they would all count as "YouTubers":

http://www.youtube.com/user/penguinz0 - from Cr1TiKaL, he often reviews games, and some of the videos are really funny.
https://www.youtube.com/user/Vsauce - probably already well known, but still - science related, often very interesting videos and perspective on things.
http://www.youtube.com/user/minutephysics - also well known and science related short videos.
https://www.youtube.com/user/thejuicemedia - very funny and interesting current events related videos.
http://www.youtube.com/user/sixtysymbols - and one more science related.

Post redundant topics to boost your post count for signature campaigns.

/sarcasm
I've been checking these and I dont know why people bother, you can make more money in less time flipping burgers.

Yup. They should open a website that pays or approximate the payout to 9 bucks an hour or something. Create a mini economy just like those craigslist, etsby site or something.

Well, the main idea behind these campaigns is to pay people for doing something they like, and would otherwise be doing for free - it's not supposed to be a job replacement.

But I guess all that kind of depends on where you live, and what type of campaign you join. So, for example, LuckyBit pays about 0.002 btc per post (for a maximum of 50 posts; for Senior and Hero Members), which at current prices comes to about $0.70 per post - that's a considerable amount in some countries (though not where I live, unfortunately Smiley).
2105  Other / Off-topic / Re: IS UFO or ALIENS are real ? on: October 24, 2014, 07:21:50 PM
Without going into the origins of what people see as UFOs, why do you think aliens wouldn't have technology far more advanced than what humans have at present? As I stated before, I believe there could be species, literally, billions of years more advanced than humanity, given the sheer amount of time since the Big Bang and since the appearance of (what I believe to be, maybe incorrectly) conditions similar to those that gave rise to life on Earth throughout the universe. Maybe we will still meet a lot of species at roughly our technological level in the future, but I doubt those will be the majority - I mean, ask yourself, what will our advancements look like in 100 years? 1000 years? 10000 years? They might have had billions of years more than us to make those advancements.

This is pretty much the same argument I make when having these kind of debates. Also, isn't it self-evident that any alien beings that can visit us have superior intellect and technology to us?

Most likely, of course, but not necessarily - or rather, we can imagine a few (unlikely) situations where that wouldn't be the case, either for those that actually visit us, or those that, even though being able to do so at their will, aren't far superior, as DarkHyudrA suggested (of course this would probably be better suited for a Startrek episode, but still fun to imagine).

So, for example, imagine the species that actually arrives to visit us is the equivalent of the microbes in Voyager (I'm kind of referring to this comic: http://what-if.xkcd.com/117), though not necessarily at that stage of evolution - and it's anyone's guess whether or not the species that actually built the ship is still around, or if it even evolved beyond the point they where at when they launched it. Another possibility: they built a generational ship, countless millennia ago to travel the cosmos, but their culture/society/technology wasn't able to flourish under the new conditions, perhaps leading to losses in many areas - hopefully the ship would be mostly automated and able to self-repair. Tongue Yet another possibility: they have indeed developed some form of interstellar travel (not necessarily FTL), but are generally much less intelligent than humans, and simply made up for it with the extra time they've had to develop (as in, they appeared much earlier).

Or maybe biological life as we know it simply can't evolve far beyond a certain point. Biology does have its limitations, and also imposes limitations on our intellectual abilities - who knows how far we can actually reach. Perhaps we're already very close to our limits (I doubt it, but while we're imagining).

And then we can also imagine life that is simply quite different from what we know: maybe some are almost completely spaceborne, but primitive; or some may be technological, but just so different from us, that they didn't follow our developmental track; and so on.

UFO has been saw a lot of times.
Aliens may exist, but I don't think it will be hi-tech like sci-fi movies where they have inhuman spaceships with blasting power far greater than anything made on Earth.

I don't think it's that type of troll they are looking for; or rather, not specifically the ones that go after children. Tongue

Still, the whole concept of derailing and steering discussions at the whim of the highest bidder is kind of shady - though I suppose one could say most advertising, as it is done today, isn't very far from the mark either (including paid sigs). Roll Eyes

Donald Duck comics were banned from Finland because he doesn't wear any pants.  Cheesy

Actually, that's apparently just a myth; from the Wikipedia entry for Aku Ankka (Donald's name in Finland):

Quote
There is a popular urban legend that Donald Duck was once banned in Finland for not having any pants. This myth was sparked up by an incident in 1977, when Helsinki councilman Markku Holopainen proposed discontinuing the use of city funds for the purchase of Aku Ankka comics for youth centers, to cope with the city's financial difficulties. The following year, as Holopainen was running for a Parliament seat, his opponent called him "the man who banned Donald Duck from Helsinki". Holopainen lost the election.

A similar incident also took place a few years previous in Kemi and international reports then exaggerated the situation with claims that the character's attire and his unmarried relationship to Daisy Duck were the culprits.[5]

Well, according to the All HYIP Monitors (http://www.allhyipmonitors.com/details/majesticoins.com) they are now at "7 not paying", "7 problem", "8 waiting" and surprisingly, "5 paying" - so it would be strange if anyone was still getting paid for promoting the site.

Humans can't generate much higher temperatures than body temperature, let alone igniting newspaper. If he is the real deal, he could have set a flat page of newspaper on fire rather than scrunching it up. He must have hidden something inside.

If he was the real deal, he could easily be a millionaire by now: http://web.randi.org/the-million-dollar-challenge.html - oddly enough, no one has been able to claim that prize, so far. Smiley
2119  Other / Off-topic / Re: With Ebola striking in Texas on: October 16, 2014, 04:29:54 PM
The chances of ebola become airbone is high, maybe few more months?
Nope. As Vod said, it would require quite a mutation for that to happen.
The chances are less than slim.

They probably are slim indeed - but the problem seems to be that the more people get infected, the more chances the virus has to mutate.

The following is taken from http://edition.cnn.com/2014/09/12/health/ebola-airborne:

Quote
Osterholm and other experts couldn't think of another virus that has made the transition from non-airborne to airborne in humans. They say the chances are relatively small that Ebola will make that jump. But as the virus spreads, they warned, the likelihood increases.

Every time a new person gets Ebola, the virus gets another chance to mutate and develop new capabilities. Osterholm calls it "genetic roulette."

It doesn't help that there have been thousands of cases, and that efforts to halt the spread of the virus have so far been unsuccessful.

That very much depends on your point of view - it seems that they are already running into problems with payments, according to All Hyip Monitors: http://www.allhyipmonitors.com/details/majesticoins.com. Out of 34 monitoring sites, 17 report them as still paying, 14 are waiting, and 3 already have problems. So, the time to invest in this hyip may have already passed. Tongue
