Batteries can be had on the cheap at this great new site called amazon.com . They've got tons in stock.
Simply pop open the back, put your new batter in, and you're good to go. If you have a fancy watch that requires a special tool to open, you can substitute a pair of needle nose pliers (with masking tape at the ends to prevent scratching), take it to a store like Macy's or or JC Penny's and get it done for free, or buy the fucking tool for a few bucks on this great new site called amazon.com .

Unless your watch is worth $5 or less, then your statement is bullshit.

If you're not reading at -1, you're missing out. When I see something modden -1, I know it's going to be, funny, insightful, or painfully (to the blind liberal retards) true.

A decent watch will last decades and have a battery that lasts several years.
There are countless styles and options for the face and band, even in the $40 and under range.
You're a fucking liar.

Because other kinds of technologies will be backed by corporations that know to hand off hookers, blow, and cold hard cash before going to court.

That's okay. The people talking about it don't have a clue either.

I think modern theoretical physicists do a fine job of that on their own.

The center of the Star Trek Universe is fat, sweaty virgins.

If the particle exists, then it carries information. A particle can't exist without interacting with the Universe in some way, and those interactions require information.

If FTL travel was possible, then causality would have already been broken, and we would see the effects of it all the fucking time.

No it doesn't. Finite means finite.
Chance ranges from 0 to 1. All numbers between 0 and 1 (inclusive) are finite.
All chances are finite.

Just wanted to post and say that you're completely and utterly incorrect.
If something could travel faster than the speed of light all of causality would be broken.

Thankfully, my dick is safe.

And the defense will say that those bitcoins aren't the same as the bitcoins he would have mined.
Valuation is determined at the time of the loss, not at the time of the suit.
The prosecution will say that this loss is ongoing, while the defense will say the plaintiff had a duty to minimize losses as he became aware of them.
That is, as soon as you had this thing in your hands and it ran at X hashrate for Y power draw, you knew not to count the coins you hadn't mined yet, and your losses were thus limited to actual over drawn power (versus the advertised draw) and actual difference in bitcoins mined from the point of promised delivery to the point of "Hey, WTF this thing isn't what I paid for!".
The prosecution would then argue that CoinTerra is responsible for those actual losses as well as losses from the point of "Hey, WTF this thing isn't what I paid for!" up until the plaintiff would have been able to get a comparable miner from somewhere else. Since these things are always backordered, rarely actually ship, and the few that do end up in the hands of end users all run at different hashrates and power draws, it'll be a bitch to figure that out. Court could go for a easy 30 day period past the point of "WTF", or the court could cut if off at the point of "WTF", or the court could just limit it to the cost of the unit and say "Durr, bitcoins internet idunno too bad".

It is not speculation. You can look up the difficulty and show what the man would have been able to mine had he gotten the device on time and as advertised.
The price of bitcoins doesn't matter - you order CoinTerra to pay those lost bitcoins.
CoinTerra won't have the bitcoins on hand to pay up, so lawyers will then bitch and fight over how to value those bitcoins in USD based on market rates at various times between the promised delivery date and now. It doesn't matter though - they won't have the cash to pay up either.

String them up in front of the courthouse.
