Christians believe that Christ has already come to save us. Jewish people believe the messiah has yet to come. You cannot be Jewish and Christian in my books...
I don’t believe but I just wanted to note this fact...
Because the Jewish people are not the same as the Jewish religion. Jews can convert to other religions, and other people can convert to Judaism.

I know it's scary, but the %age of user that actually haven't used a floppy disk is quite embarassing. We are old. One of the fondest memories is playing Monkey Island II with only 14 (fourteen) floppy disk to swap bask and forth, with that ba*stard faulty 7th disk that crashed every time.

It's funny how many characters are similar in Chinese and Japanese, yet they do not pronounce the same at all. Only the 3rd character is Japanese, the 4 others are originally Chinese characters, I can read them, know what they mean, yet have no idea how to pronounce them in Japanese. On a side note, indeed the floppy disc icon should be replaced by something else, it's 2019 ffs ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) It's hilarious now that I think of it, it does look like a vending machine. Amazing how the beverage can still stands after falling from like a meter high.

This Country Will Legalize And Tax Bitcoin Salary Payments From SeptemberPaying Salaries With Bitcoin The Inland Revenue Department of New Zealand issued a statement which clarifies the matter of cryptocurrencies being used to pay for salaries in the country.
According to the document, there are several cases where employers will be able to pay salaries with crypto assets. This will be possible when they are devised for payments for services performed by the employee under a functional employment agreement, when it’s for a fixed amount or when it is a regular part of the employee’s remuneration.
Now, it’s also worth noting that the ruling only applies to salary and wage earners. In other words, self-employed taxpayers won’t be able to take advantage. Moreover, this won’t be possible if the payment is subjected to a lock-up period and only if the cryptocurrency can be converted directly into a fiat currency. https://cryptopotato.com/this-country-will-legalize-and-tax-bitcoin-salary-payments-from-september/

One of the fondest memories is playing Monkey Island II with only 14 (fourteen) floppy disk to swap bask and forth, with that ba*stard faulty 7th disk that crashed every time.
I remember I've asked all friends' floppy disks to transfer NetQ Rally from somewhere. Iirc it was about 100MB. Of course, some of the disks have failed, but I was careful enough and I asked the guy I got it from to keep the archives for a couple of days until I am sure. Last time I've had a 1.44 floppy in hand was a few years ago, somebody gave it to me to look at the sun for a (partial) eclipse (!).

This is actually really dangerous, the floppy disk are really inadequate for the scope. Glad you didn't lost your sight. For sure you saw a shitty eclipse... Floppy disk media have a marginally safe infrared transmission, and produce poor quality images of the solar disk. The magnetic media scatters visible light to the extent that one sees a dull red disk surrounded by a broad halo of red light. I would not recommend using this material for a solar filter.

I didn't look too long, since I didn't read about it I didn't trust the safety of that method. And indeed, it was not a great experience. At the end I've just searched on the internet for much better views / movies. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fpics.me.me%2Fbro-youre-using-internet-too-much-theres-a-life-outside-9495289.png&t=665&c=cCWzJcKqcdlwAw)

True, floppy disks are just completely irrelevant.
Can't change it to a CD because they are nearing irrelevance.
The "Save" icon is iconic, but antiquated.
What would be a decent replacement?

For now the USB stick or even the HDD icon should do. Nowadays they are common enough. Or, for the antiquity lovers, the punch card. ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif)

This is a good question. I think it is time to stop trying to imitate things in the real world (skeuomorphism) and come up with a completely new icon. Maybe an arrow that goes to the right and then bends 90 degrees straight down - meaning saving the document down. *edit* you still need a “save as” icon?

WO gang. BTC is so lazy in these days, but I think this news is really important: LITECOIN WALLETS HIT BY LARGE-SCALE DUSTING ATTACK, SO WHAT IS IT?Reports are emerging that Litecoin wallets have been hit by a new kind of cyber-attack called dusting. It has not affected LTC markets but is something that crypto traders and holders should be aware of. Binance Academy offered an explanation.
In short, a dusting attack is when scammers attempt to break the privacy of a cryptocurrency, Litecoin in this case, by sending tiny amounts of it to private wallets. The attackers then attempt to trace the transactional activity of these wallets in an attempt to discover the identity of the person that owns them.
The term ‘dust’ refers to the tiny fractions of crypto coins that most users ignore. A couple of hundred satoshis may be referred to as ‘dust’ as the sum is so tiny that most people would not even notice it. It is also prevalent on crypto exchanges as the remnants of transactions that remain in wallets and can no longer be user or transferred.
Here a description of the attack on Binance academy. https://www.binance.vision/security/what-is-a-dusting-attackThis technique is used on Bitcoin too, so be alert WO gang: when someone send you some sats, be safe!

Think about all those people and their life savings in btc. :O Fair enough, I appreciate the constructive opinion. But the difference between guys like me, and arrogant guys like ivomm (ivommit?) is that the second lot will likely never dare to sell on time. I have sold several times since I first bought in 2017, and what was 1 BTC originally became 1.38 BTC with time. That's what "know-it-all" ivommit does not understand ![Kiss](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/kiss.gif) Bitcoin price has some many ups and downs that it is quite easy to do, much easier than on the stock market. I won't lie, sometimes I had to wait 8 months for the price to go where I wanted, but it always went there eventually. I dared to press the sell button and that will help in the future, people who never pressed the sell button may feel incredibly nervous to the point that maybe they will never sell until BTC disappeares? (let's be honest BTC dying is also a possibility). ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) PS: about the edit part, I was obviously sarcastic about buying 700 euros of BTC per month (my average monthly savings), that would be incredibly dumb to do. No need to explain why.
