Use your skills (or learn new skills) to help people who can't pay you back. I am a volunteer firefighter/EMT and the biggest joy is when the frail old lady you just helped thanks you. I'm sure you can find a number of places where you can make a difference.
Absolutely...MOD UP!!! I've been an EMT, and I completely agree with this. I love IT, but if I could be an EMT full-time without having to worry about making money, I'd do it in a heartbeat.
... maybe if you genetically engineer the broccoli to consist of animal proteins and fat.
If I could make bacon out of broccoli, well, you'd see quite the garden in my yard!
...how fast can it mine Bitcoins.
For that price, it had better hash at 1 GH/s! Money, money, money, money!
My credit union offers two factor authentication. Could a Bitcoin exchange do the same? You bet. But they haven't. The fact is that it's easier to find legit and robust exchanges and institutions in USD than BitCoin.
I believe you're correct in that the exchanges don't use two factor authentication. However, my Bitcoin wallet is an online one (yeah, not so secure, but I only do a little bit of mining...less than $50 in there right now) that definitely does use two factor authentication through the Authy app. Quite simple really, and the exchanges should definitely use something like this.
A lot of people I know are using their personal smartphones for work, including me. Check on a server, bring up an app. Check out the WiFi, bring up another app. I have tons of apps on my personal phone that have saved countless hours diagnosing issues
Fact is, an awful lot of employers should be kissing our asses for using our own personal devices to be more productive at work.
And how do you pronounce it yourself?
It's pronounced "meem". That's the only way I've ever heard it pronounced, and even by Dawkins himself.
A morsel of genuine history is a thing so rare as to be always valuable. -- Thomas Jefferson
