If you plan to secede, be prepared to fight the most dangerous and misguided military in the world.  It's illegal because they said so and that's final so nyeh nyeh nyeh nyeh nyeh nyeh.

Heck, if Texas wanted to secede, they'd have to do so out of force.  America's got a funny way of creating laws which couldn't possibly benefit society.

With force maybe, but everyone knows everyone in texas has 2 guns per person ^_^
24 mil pop, 50 million guns

I think the USA would pull out fast the only way to stop them would be to kill civilians, which is illegal under international law to purposely hit civilians.

Ten bucks says they'll pull the terrorist card and send drones instead Tongue  After all, if Texas secedes, it's no longer domestic...

I cannot imagine why someone would need to buy Skype credits if he did not intend to keep the skype account. Probably You just got lucky to get them back. How it get compromised? Guessed or stolen password because logged into skype from another computer not under your control?

At the time I was using an Internet connection provided by a hotel--the network probably wasn't at all secure.  I still can't figure out what he was planning to do with the credits, or why they were purchased in pounds, and if he was actually from the UK, how he managed to crack both my PayPal and my Skype.  I think the currency denomination was a distraction; it was probably another resident.  I've never been hacked on my own private connection at home, so I really don't know how he got into them...if not through a security problem with the hotel.

I'm not sure if I've ever been scammed, but I once had a portion of my identity stolen.  The thief got ahold of my GayPal and Skype account, and attempted to purchase some Skype service for 100 pounds...weirdest thing ever.  Anyway, I shut both off, changed the passwords, and complained to GayPal that I had 100 pounds in limbo.  Mind you, I'm an American, so this should've been fishy to begin with.  GayPal said they saw no unusual activity and gave me the metaphorical middle finger.

This video was made by the IRS, starring IRS employees, using $60,000 of taxpayer money. I was able to get through about 1 minute of it before I just had to turn it off. It is just awful on so many levels.



Dudes, we're being trolled. No way this is legit.

Either way, it worked Tongue  RABBLERABBLERABBLE

Separated the church and the state
Separating our money and the state
Will separate our security and the state

When can we call the state ostracized?

If they're trying to alienate anyone who was actually siding with them (the "I don't like tax, but it's a necessary evil" folk,) they're doing one hell of a job.  60k may seem like a drop in the bucket to them, but that's a really nice year's salary gone down the tube for nothing.

That's interesting.

On the other hand, I can't help but wonder why they care about Africa.  Getting them up to speed with global competitiveness just translates into "We need more worker-slaves, and Africa is ripe for the picking."

Ah well.  I wouldn't mind solar-powered Internet in my area.  That'd save me a good $50 a month.

I'd happily trade a beautiful home-made pizza for just BTC100.

Anyone?



That had better be an orgasm-inducing pizza, buddy.

Bitcoin cured my cancer.  I'd say cancer is a decently sized problem.

Where is your roman-influenced deity now?

These are not problems with money; these are human problems - problems with greed, incompetence, etc.

For emphasis Wink

The title should have been "How pizza gave birth to the biggest invention in centuries and thus changed the world!!!"  Cheesy

BTW, thanks to laszlo for the sacrifice! I hope he still has enough bitcoins to enjoy!

Three cheers for pizza!

Mining Bitcoin with the advent of ASICs means your only chance at profitability in the future is to get an ASIC Tongue

However, litecoin appears to be gaining some popularity (probably on the back of Bitcoin but ignoring this,) you could probably attempt to mine that in a pool and make a little bit of wealth.  A lot easier to trade litecoin for Bitcoin anyway.

My wish is to lose some Bitcoin to a stranger over the Internet.

Man oh man, I hope it comes true!  Fingers crossed!

I'm cool with 2FA; Google does it to where they send you a text with a code.  And there's also an app named Authy which gives you a code that you have to enter in 15 seconds (I think it's 15 seconds) or else it resets.

Not sure about the second one, but I'm fairly certain most people are okay with texts by now Tongue

You're absolutely right, luckily not everyone is a scammer. Sadly those 99% makes the honest three or four people look bad. Smiley
