I'll bet we would get along IRL. Do you like IPA beers?
Thanks, the admiration is mutual! Big fan of IPA and APA. Stone, Green Flash, and Drake's are my current faves. Let's drink and be irascible grouches at the confab in San Jose.  Bring smoothie and we'll be the Delta Force of trolls!  |

So then I presume you don't think Pirate owes anyone anything. After all, their relying on him was irrational.
Let's face it, there were people trying to profiteer from the pirate debacle by buying up pirate debt as cheaply as possible and then betting with Matthew. One clusterfuck which was driven by greed rather than common-sense got compounded by another debacle driven by greed rather than common-sense. It's bit like Nigerian scams - they can't work unless potential victims are willing to abandon all common-sense and break the law to boot. They rely in large part on wilful ignorance on the part of victims. Very good points. Pirate pass through operators made bank yet didn't get scammer tags, and Prof. Katz defends them. Only speculation suggests Matt made a single Satoshi from his prank, but he is shunned and labeled a scammer. Something is rotten here, and we can't be the only ones smelling it. |

Presume all you like my good fellow. I shan't bother listing all the key characteristics differentiating poor silly old Matt from the rapacious, calculating Pirate@40. Suffice it to remind everyone that you 'Can't Con An Honest John.' http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bTB929OoqI4^^Warning: sick beatz!11 PS What backs bitcoin? (Been dying to hear your answer.) |

grow a heart
you mean "grow a BLEEDING heart." never heard of tough love? grow a spine and stand up for what's right, instead of demanding degeneracy be indulged. grow a brain, and realize why if something is subsidized, you get more of it. I do feel bad for all the non Kirschner voters. But the commies have to go. It's them or us. |

I suspected that as well. Especially since the extremely high profile first unit, hand delivered for review, is constantly freezing and requiring reboots.

What I find extremely annoying is this obsession by people about what is and isn't legal.
Well it is NPR. They are pretty much the most sheepish, authority worshiping station on the radio. Most of their audience are Obama voting looters and parasites. They should change the callsign to KSLAV. |

"Baa-baa, milk me. Baa-baa, shear me. Baa-baa, cull me."
You don't get how anonymous works do you? He knows exactly how anonymous works. But he doesn't like it. It hurts his widdle fee-fees. So he'll demand something that cannot be produced, in order to deny, denigrate, and minimize. Don't expect much of the sheeple and you won't be disappointed. |

kirchner is such an airhead ... I'm not sure if the people who voted for this conniving person really deserve what's coming to them or not.
Kirchner voters deserve everything that's coming to them. Feedback is important; actions must have consequences or bad behavior is encouraged by externalizing its costs. For their socialist envy of others' property, they deserve poverty. The only way to cure them of their Marxism is to starve it out of them. Let them fight over scraps of food in their Worker's Paradise until they are eating their trees, pets, and children like the North Koreans. For their nationalist jingoism, they deserve the horrors of war. The only cure for their territorial avarice and attempted colonialism of the Falklands is yet another sound military defeat, only this time on a far grander scale. Let them weep for their crushed false pride, as British warheads incinerate their population centers. The only good commie is a dead commie! |

"It's not my fault for breaking my promise to you, it's your fault for relying on me to keep it." Not all promises are equal. Reasonability is the standard used by rational actors for judging the reliability of promises. EG I could promise you the moon, but you'd be unreasonable and foolish to expect and/or rely on me to actually deliver said orbiting celestial object. Applied to this situation, we may observe that relying on Matt to honor his bet was greedy, irrational behavior. Due diligence and common sense demand using an intermediary specializing in brokering bets, of which there are at least two using Bitcoin. Furthermore, this forum is well known to be particularly unsuitable as reliable venue for wagers. It is rife with scams, trolling, humor, pranks, and drama. And I like it that way. Anyone who lost money as a result of entering into such an obviously puckish bet, sans escrow, deserves to lose at least one Bitcoin for each they hoped to gain. |

IDK why this this duplicate thread about Anon doxing banksters is posted in Speculation. Maybe speculation on the dollar collapse's impact on the POB was anticipated? Climategate came up because some talking orifice said hacktivism is the work of the devil and doesn't have any impact. That set off ManBearPig's True Believers. They can't stand dissent and unauthorized conduct, much less attempts at deprogramming. Lulzy hostility ensued. |

 What are you, 17? I'm old enough to not fall prey to silly, obvious trolling (unlike you). That's right, get all upset because of some text on a computer screen. Don't forget to write a pouty, indignant response, so everyone may see how thin skinned you are. Yes I do. When a logical fallacy is committed, there's no reason to continue talking or listening. I'm doing the speaker of fallacy a favor. Great, at least your not as ill informed as devolve. That retard's hatred and jealousy of hacktivism is preventing him from grasping some pretty basic common knowledge. And I'm not *just* a pretentious twat. I'm also absurdly pedantic. It's so over the top, most people immediately catch on to the joke. Ah well, somebody needs to keep the short bus driver employed. Remember, internets is serious business! |

Thank you for conceding that Climategate and Wikileaks had non-zero impacts (and shame on your English teacher for not warning you about making 'always and never' statements.)
The funny thing is, I simply reiterated the same statement I made in the post before that (the one that sent you off on your little rant). Obviously, your reading comprehension sucks and you have no interest in discussing the issue (beyond masturbating over your fetish for sad teen hackers), so I'm done. I'm sure Anonymous appreciates you publicly fellating them on bitcointalk, though; keep up the good work champ, you're doing gods work. My reading comprehension is in the top 1%, which is why I understand that Climategate is about far more than " hurr durr hacked emails." You have zero evidence that Climategate was done by a teen hacker. It was more likely an insider at the CRU, old enough to have two or three advanced degrees. Reiterate all you like, it does nothing to refute the provided citations. My fetish is for the free flow of information. That means I believe in its power to promote the public good and retard the nefarious agenda of the Carbon Taxers. Don't fall for Al Gore too hard. You saw how he treated old Tipper. When he tires of putting his Nobel Prize deep inside you while you 'massage' him, you'll get your heart broken. thepiratebay.se/torrent/6906572/Climate_Gate_Leaks_1_and_2 ;

Anonymous =/= wikileaks. Anonymous supported wikileaks (and doesnt anymore since the paywall) but wikileaks is an independant organization. You are giving anonymous credit for other peoples work, and no that support did not change government operations or policy.
Same thing with "Climategate"; There is no conclusive proof that the hacker was affiliated with anonymous. Furthermore, the hacked emails do nothing to disprove global warming nor did it change operation or policy of the us government.
Thank you for conceding that Climategate and Wikileaks had non-zero impacts (and shame on your English teacher for not warning you about making 'always and never' statements.) We don't know how much, if any, overlap exists between Anons, Assange, and the CRU whistleblower(s?). So let's avoid both conflation and over-compartmentalization. However, all fall squarely into the general category of "hacktivism." As does the leaked bankster info. And don't forget this concept, which flies in the face of your attempt to put things in rigidly defined little boxes:  You simply don't understand the full depth of Climategate. It was about much more than "hacked emails" (that's the illiterate idiot version). The smart person version of Climategate is about the leaked source code and data of the previously secret computer models, which were exposed as a load of unscientific rubbish upon their (intentionally avoided) public review. Do you know any basic programming concepts? Good! Then you know what an array is. Now, what happens to a data set when you manipulate it with an array of numbers that produce the desired hockey stick? That's right, any given input is warped into the predetermined hockey stick. The coder even called it a fudge factor. Evidence of scientific malpractice doesn't get any more damning that the disclosures provided in the artfully curated Climategate archive. I bet Al Gore calls you when he has a reluctant massage therapist, so you can enthusiastically finish the (hand) job. Poor Tipper, no wonder she left that loser!  |

I definitely see inflation picking up over the next few years in the USA especially. The Fed just keeps on printing to fund trillion+ a year deficits.
I agree but if you are talking about price inflation that takes many years to trickle down. He's talking about both monetary and price inflation. Both types of inflation are accelerating. Gas: was 5 cents, now 5 dollars. Gold: was $35/oz, now $1700/oz.  |

You really think that Wikileaks or (hahahahaha) "Climategate" changed anything??? REALLY?
both of those had zero impact on US goverment operations or procedures.
No impact? What an extraordinary claim. Too bad your mere assertions have zero evidence to back them up, unlike my references to well known facts about current events. Incredulity is not an argument. Well, obviously for the inferior likes of *you* it is, but it's not a valid argument. Your logical fallacy is explained here: http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Argument_from_incredulityPlease educate yourself better before suffering further public embarrassment. And yes, Climategate and Wikileaks both had non-zero impacts on government operations and procedures. You actually believe ManBearPig is real, and super cereal. How unsurprising; how typically bootlicker. Weighing the impact of the WikiLeaks disclosures

Right, because a bunch of script kiddies vandalizing websites and shit does a whole lot to "fight the government". Way to stick it to the man, tough guy.  WikiLeaks cause an international furor. Heads rolled because of ClimateGate. Al Gore's ManBearPig baloney was finished off for good. Minimize and sneer all you like. And enjoy your servitude. Hope you like the taste of jackboot polish, toady. |

No worries. Just having some fun, as usual.  Sorry for the double post. I don't even how that happened.  |

Leaves are boring.
Concentrate and hyper-potentiate the indole akaloids into some kind of cross between opium and cocaine.
Then you're cooking with gas.
