As the title states I'm looking for any 2011 BTC from Casascius.

You way want to put 'series 1' in your post.  That is how these coins are most often referred too.

Your logical fallacy is...

How about addressing the data, instead of the source?

The data is not different.  When analyzed normally by most statisticians it is very easy to find the climate change.   This author has used ECONOMIC analysis instead and the way he did it he did not find the climate change.  His paper is probably valid and does NOT contradict people who use other more scientificly accepted methods to analize the data.  Unfortunately for him and his paper it is most probably a tragic misapplication of that analysis model.

The oil may prolonge the life of the fan a little bit.

But ultimately the best is to replace it with a new fan, as your bearings are probably worn out: http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-ATI-Video-Card-4870-5970-5870-5850-4890-5450-5650-4350-Replacement-75mm-fan-/271103944516?pt=PCC_Video_TV_Cards&hash=item3f1f0de744

I think you are overestimating the number of people willing to spend 20% of their income for charity.

I think you are overestimating the amount of money that would actually be needed.

Simple math shows that charity dollars outperform tax dollars in helping the poor by 233.33%.

http://nomorecages.com/2012/12/16/inconvenient-facts-part-1.aspx

Also people will help in different ways, some that cost them little or no money at all.  Some people can give an unemployed friend/relative an unused ROOM and food from the kitchen.  In the real world, made at home food does not cost much especially incrementally (if you are cooking for several already).  What would cost the state $2000+ a month (unemployment+the overhead of giving it) might cost a friend/family member $200.

Myrkul thinks drills are to spin a chuck. He thinks lamps are used as a stand for lampshades. He thinks monitors are used to emit light.

Close. Lamps are used as a stand for a lightbulb. They're also a convenient place to put a switch. That they also offer a way to hold a lampshade is an added bonus, since it makes a lamp a much nicer thing to have in your room, rather than just a bare bulb.

Drills are indeed used to spin things. Often drillbits, but not always. I have a bit that makes the drill into a saw. I have another whole set that turn it into a screwdriver. I don't have, but you can buy, "bits" that turn a drill into pretty much any power tool. It is, after all, just a motor attached to a chuck.

A monitor is indeed designed to emit light. Light of specific colors, in specific patterns. The light from my laptop often lights my way across my bedroom in the dark. More often, of course, I use it to look at those patterns of light and derive information from them.

Don't you just hate it when your attempt at ridicule backfires?
It didn't backfire. 

Maybe it didn't actually backfire, but you were definately shooting blanks.  It's not like Myrkul and I see things level, so I wish some of you guys would try harder.  I might be entertained if some of you were on his level, but so far I think that most of you guys are engaging in a battle of wits unarmed.

Nothing is new about those arguments.   We have seen them time and time again.  Almost anything can be used to kill (car, knife, chemical) and those things are not regulated. 

As I have said, I do not believe any any proposed gun control law would have a big impact on these types of shootings.  There are changes to America that could be made to reduce gun violence but I do not believe the political will exists to do them.  There are a lot of voluntary changes that could be made in media and reporting (the coverage of these events probably drives more of these events to happen) but this is also very unlikely to happen.  Big media makes too much money off of these events.

Fun fact: Over 5000 bullets were fired for each soldier killed in WWII. It took over 12000 to take down a plane.

Guns are designed to fire bullets. They do that every time they are used. They only kill when the user points the barrel at another human being and uses them for their intended purpose: to fire a bullet, and that bullet strikes the other human being in a lethal spot, as you can see, a statistically rare event, even in wartime.

Like almost all items, guns are not monolithic.  There are many kinds of guns for many kinds of purposes.  99% of them are for killing (people or animals).  Of those 99% there are some that are dual purpose and some that are intended mostly to kill people.  While you can hunt deer with a handgun, it is a poor tool for the job. 

It is stupid to derail a conversation about guns by arguing what they are used for.  The purpose is obvious.   


It would be great if we could wave a magic wand and make all of these killings end with a law.  This can not happen.  The guns exist, will not go away and for the most part gun control laws will not prevent these killings.  NOTHING will totally stop these killings, they can only be reduced.

Upping security in schools will also do little or nothing.  The amount of money spent could be simply spent in upgraded auto safety and far more child lives would be saved. 

My choice:

Better mental health care.  More education on gun safety with an emphasis on keeping guns secured and only accessible by the rightful owner.  Letting people know there are hard facts that having an unsecured gun is more dangerous in most cases then not owning one at all but KEEPING IT ONES CHOICE as to what to do.

do we have to worry about nvidia cards too :O  Cry Shocked

Well so far Ive only seen this behaviour in 5970's .. my 5850's & 5830 seem to be fine still, as well as my 6950.
Who knows bout nv cards =P

I run 14 5850 cards, and not a single one of them has had video/display issues. 2 of those I use for active gaming while mining. (too lazy to turn off mining when I want to play games, so they've got really low priorities set) I'm selling off a few of the cards to more gamers, so I guess they'll let me know if they've found issues through prolonged gaming sessions.

I can now after a long period agree with the OP.  I run all kinds of cards and only the 5970's have done this.  I have pretty conservative settings, underclocked on most and undervolted.  Cards now fail on stock settings, fans are good.  I am going to attempt to re-pad and replace thermal compound.

Kind of a bummer that you have no way to notify shareholders on your exchange when something important comes up.  Everyone has to troll your irc channel or all their investments might *poof* on them.

You seem to be deliberately ignoring the part where you are posting in the very thread announcing this, one month in advance. But no, everybody does not have to anything.

More importantly: this is exactly how things work on that MPEx wanna-be, ie NYSE. You don't follow the news? You miss out. Gotta follow the news. You wanna play the retail investor and not follow (or understand) the news? Use a broker.

I would like to take a moment here to thank you all for having noticed that in fact MPEx gave abundant and sufficient notice of what was going to happen, and for having properly commended MPEx for yet again setting the standard of correct behavior in the field. I would like to also show my appreciation for people having acted responsibly and sanely, instead of waiting a month and a week, until after the announced cutoff. Well done. Oh...wait?

I would expect the records to be available for the duration of the existence of MPEx.  If that's not possible for technical reasons, I'd say 24 months.

Yet again, you are rehashing dead arguments from a month ago. Mindlessly repeating dead arguments does not breathe one iota of further life into them, they're still dead. Please re-read the linked article. Carefully. Pen in hand if need be.

Advance notice of taking someone of value from someone does not make it ok.  

People are not rehashing dead arguments, they are rehashing points IGNORED by MPEx.

How long do they usually take to do a deposit from dwolla?

Or what time of day. I see their page says they do it twice a day
"Dwolla deposits and withdrawals are processed several times per day."

Dwolla withdrawals take less then 1/2 a day for me.  I have found good service from them and they seem to have the Dwolla thing figured out. 

While the trading depth is a little less, I just place sells at the mtgox price (which is often higher then the CampBX price) and wait.  It is usually filled within a few hours.  If you are buying CampBX is a good place to go as the price seems a little lower.

TO: statesattorney@cookcountyil.gov

Dear Miss Alvarez,

I was very pleased to read that you have lost your ill-conceived Supreme Court appeal seeking to destroy long established First Amendment protections for any citizens unfortunate enough to live under your oppressive jurisdiction.

Perhaps you should have taken your Oath of Office seriously and re-examined your poor understanding of the spirit and letter of the US Constitution, instead of wasting tax money on a fruitless quest to lick the jackboots of our nascent police state.

I honestly can't believe anyone with such terrible judgement and ignorance of the law could earn a legal degree, much less rise to an office of prominence!

You, Anita Alvarez, are a superb example of how race and gender based affirmative action are doing a disservice to our country by allowing eminently unqualified individuals such as yourself to occupy positions where your manifest incompetence becomes not only a waste of time and money, but threatens our very freedoms and liberties.

The McLean County State’s Attorney, Jason Chambers, made no such ridiculous mistake and thus will not suffer your humiliating embarrassment.  Of course Mr. Chambers is a white male who was required to work for his job qualifications, unlike you, a Hispanic female affirmative action baby of dubious intelligence and demonstrated hostility toward freedom of speech.

Good day Miss!

-iCEBREAKER

You were doing pretty well until the red. This turned what would've been a sharp but warranted criticism of a violation of free speech into a bitter, bigoted cheap shot.

White males who can score well on the LSAT are just as capable of trampling on people's rights and unjustly increasing the power of the police state.

The garbage in red also makes it easier for people to dismiss any sort of libertarian arguments as the work of bigots/racists.

If he's not suggesting it I'm saying it. And have been saying it.

Those who balk at 30 BTC and safety in order to "be investors" on cardboard imitations of exchanges are about as stupid as those who won't pay a hundred dollars for leather shoes because the Chinese cardboard stuff is only $3. Lasts 'till the first rain.

Apparently the 30 BTC payment does not secure investors from arbitrary decisions like de-listing the GIGAMINING passthrough.

Goto the media and make it a big story. Then ask for donation to open a 1st ever bitcoin accepting Taxi. It will bring international attention and your boss will go out of business.

Then make love to his wife. Steal his children. Then you win.

I cant go to media, because he had a legal reason to kick me.

I hope they never win a buck. Lawsuits of this kind are causing irreperable damage to any society. What is needed is criminal prosecution of individuals, not a lawsuit. Suing murderers to ask for money legitimizes crime: it's okay, but you may have to have the agency or private corporation you worked for pay some money later. Those who accept these kinds of payment are complacent in crimes.

I agree with the criminal charges.  The payment of money does not even punish the people who did the act, as they are not in power and the money is not coming from their budgets.
