LOL - Good one. I will concede that on this I'm an ignorant clod. :-)

I don't insist, but prefer on-line and free and yes I understand the risks therein. I concede your point, not being an attorney myself, but I would think that the distinction in this word is not really useful. Why is it important to say that you can prosecute a criminal case, but not a civil one? I don't present this as counter-evidence, but the first link on searching for "civil prosecution" brings up some LA community college using it.

Wiktionary disagrees with your suggestion in the terminology. But, it's not like anyone really gives a shit about this pedantry.

If only they pulled them out of the air. They actually pull them out of their asses.

If you can't use proper grammar (it's), you ... nevermind, you're in the right place, asshole.

No, you're going to be modded down for reading and posting in another of these speculative bitcoin stories when it obviously disinterests you.

Assmunch.

Apparently, TFA is a little premature. The first will be in Indianapolis in August 2014.

It's a scale. The more serious bug gets more money, with the typical being about $10K, per TFA.

These schools are also in Arkansas and Indiana.

5 minutes to midnight lasted for hours on Polar Express, so I'm not too worried.

So, is it your assumption that size is directly responsible for the malware? Why can't a large hosting company also institute the best protection mechanisms to reduce their malware content? GoDaddy I can see not giving a crap, but Amazon should do some proper management to reduce this problem.

A kilogram is straightforwardly defined as 2.20462 pounds. Simple enough.

Whoa, easy. Trolls are way smarter than politicians.

I find it impressive for several reasons: the bird is moving fast, the fish is moving fast, and the refraction caused by the (moving)water/air boundary has to be accommodated by a fish with a brain the size of a politician's. This is so difficult, in fact, that I find it amazing the fish had ever developed this capability.
