Alright, a stupid question, but what kind of thrusters does the ISS use? Excuse my limited imagination, but when I think of thrusters, I think of an engine burning something to move. Do the ISS's thrusters need constant refueling, in this case?

Heh, your comment reminds me of those Internet Tough Guys. No offence, but say that again after actually going through the situation.

This isn't funny, I got mugged with a mug once, and it was horrible.

Well, color me ignorant, because I am, but it seems that banks feel indeed threatened by it because, as you said, it IS something unreal, and those who use it and believe in it are deluded. But if "Famous Bank X" starts dealing with it, bitcoins will have that one proof of existence and even your average joe will now hear of it.
But then again, this is my personal take on the situation, and am just a dude watching the news on his laptop.

Some of the greatest Visual Novels I read were made by a couple of kids in their basement over the span of summer holidays.
Why is a financing campaign needed?

Hmmm... but what will happen now? This might be good news, but this is what should have happened from the very beginning.
So, even though they took it off for the Xbone, I fear that they simply paved the way for draconian restrictions by the next gen (if that happens someday).

Now this would be one hell of a TV game show, hunting stone age animals with stone age weapons. I bet MTV would fund this.

Well.. to sum it all up, check Sony's stock. 18 minutes worth of conference on a game console, probably only something like 8 minutes concerning games, the rest is for gimmicks. What could I possibly say?

Another interesting experiment would be to keep an eye on these kids and see what they will become later. This might be very interesting.

Out of mod points so posting this to support parent. I am jealous of the submitter anyway, he clearly didn't have to deal with too many conservatives in his life.

Anyone remember that show called BattleBots? That became later Robot Wars? As a kid I used to love that, never missing a single episode... Too bad it got canceled in favor or shows I won't even dare name. It was a huge inspiration for me and all the kids I used to talk about it with.

Exactly. If traditional retailers are struggling to compete with the internet model, maybe it's because the traditional model is now obsolete and should just be left to die. I know there is the whole jobs and outsourcing issues, but we cant keep the dying breed on life support forever because people are depending on it.

This.
As much as I love the idea of having DNA samples to play around with on the fly, I actually thought it was more in the lines of a device capable of sequencing the DNA quickly.
Imagine the potential of a handheld sequencing device... can't wait to clutter the databases with more sequences.

Not really a defender of Bitcoins, but:
You can get real money in four different ways:

1. Have a special skill or qualification that allows you to acquire money.
2. Put others to work earning you money for a profitable wage using other peoples special skills or qualifications.
3. Speculate, lol.
4. Steal.

Only one of these is ethical.
