We are against it because it can't grow or shink with the econmoic value it represents.
There will only ever be about double the bitcoins available as there are now. If the world switched to bit coins now, their value would have to hyperinflate creating economic carnage. Those of us that can see that want to warn the rest not to participate.
Bit coins are technologically clever but economically dumb.

Yes, funny: but the true value of a currency is it is the only currency the taxation office takes.

I've been watching some documentaries lately, along the lines of Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead & Food Matters (both worth watching).
The common theme (which I have heard for many years now) is to eat raw and stay away from processed foods: the reason being; most chronic disease is caused by the lack of avaiable micronutients. You may be getting energy from processed foods, but all the complex biomechanics for healty cell life is being starved, causing heart disease, diabetes, weight gain, etc etc.
From your experience with food around the world, what do you think is the optimum daily diet.

Except Chrome ditched side tabs 2 years ago. I'm not sure how anyone uses 16:9 screens without moving tabs bars for whatever software they can, to the side. In FF this the treeview addin. In windows, unlock and move the start bar to the side.

Seriously. is there something wrong with your eyes?. The retina screen is the best thing to happen to the computing industry in the last 10 years. Retina products are sooo much nicer to use and is easily a reason to upgrade to at least an ipad 3.

There's going to be lots of crying babies!

Great suggestions ludwig.
I've also found golf attracts anal retentives, making a round a chore rather than some fun. Not much you can do about them though.

You are one the money. Our company has done exactly this. An imx.287 with ram, rom, eth. Laid out on sodimm module. I did the layout and it took me 8 layers and plated in hole vias to do it. The hardest part of these designs is the impedance and length matching between cpu and dram.
The advantage of this design is being able to fit it too a 2 layer board, and upgrade cpu without having to change the baseboard.

I've read his autobiography. He is a political nobody, with no family of note, who was an average community organiser in Chicago, who happens to have brilliant oratory skills. That means he is bankrolled by someone very powerful, and thus will do what he is told.

Which is why we need a pure peer to peer social messaging system. Call it torrents for facebook. There is no reason for centralisation of social data. Features like
- meta data and messaging data is spread around different peers as encrypted chunks so it can be rebuit on any new device you sign up to.
- grouping like google circles.
- expiry option on messages and images.

Perhaps there is already someone doing this?

It will most likely be similar to POE.
After negotiation (at 5v), a higher voltage up to 48v is supplied, or at least a voltage that allows the device to remain within SELV (Safety Extra Low Voltage) standards. At 48v, you are looking at around 2Amps, which is what existing USB cables can do.

One other point. Although micro USB is rated for lots of insertions, the overmould is too big and allows too much leverage on the socket which is breakeing sockets (way worse than breaing the cables plug).
Apple got this right with the thunderbolt connector in that the strain relief is very small so it is more difficult to transfer force to the device socket.

We have Surface Mount Asembly Equipment that runs Windows NT4 and Windows 2000.
Suprisingly, it all still networks OK. (But of course on its own isolated subnet)

There is ZERO chance any of this industrial equimpent will ever have an OS update.

No, It's because Bitcoin is stupid.
It can't expand and shrink to fit economic use.
Money is convenient form barter and needs to represent the productive capital of its users and to remain stable for a given capital. (Eg an apple is worth 1 dollar from year to year, not 1 dollar today, then 10 dollars next week)
As more people use it, scarcity increases its value, making early adopters insanely rich. The crypto bit of bit coin may be sound, but it's economic utility is not.

I still don't get twitter.
