Cool Story Bro.

So where do you work now???

I do remember some bs about not allowing an d helicopters in the vicinity because of health reasons and very little coverage.

It is a shame that some things are swept under the rug when they should be magnified appropriately. But when people want to silence an issue, there is ALWAYS a price it can be paid to be achieved . . . .

I think the Simpsons have shown that this is a very bad idea.

As soon as I read 'finger' I was shaking my head . . . lol oh man . . . .

. . so people cant wear skirts anymore? Sharia Law is over there . . . .

While I can't argue that governments have the most to lose by the success of Bitcoins, I'll play devils advocate and ask if you categorize BT as a new country with its own currency, how would the potential hit to any given government be different?

OP is saying that you cant learn at an older age, hes questioning how someone in the technology field has not done any kind of programming.

And I have to agree. Being 30 years old (im 30 as well) and never even having the curiosity to program anything like even a webpage says you kind of fell into that position, accepted it as a 9-5 and is literally by definition a mouse clicker.

But like you cited, starting at 30+ isnt a death knoll. Yea, it sucks that your competition are all fresh out college and on the cutting edge, but thats a risk he's willing to take. Best of luck man.

Nah, you can bracket the Junior title by lack of depth (years) or breadth (versatility).

Junior is usually someone with 0-3 years experience, which is exactly where main OP is.

His leg up on all his other out of college competition will be experience in the work force (IT experience)

I'm sorry, I love a good conspiracy theory as much as the next guy, but blaming the gov for this is just tin foil men on too much Jolt soda.

What are we looking at, a whopping half a million stolen in Flexcoin and what, 700k stolen in MtGox?

If a loss of less then 2 mil, or actually, whatever the total amount of bitcoins available is a threat to any government, that government is even flimsier than bitcoin is showing to be. Sorry . . . .

mmm . . . whale jam . . . .

A white hat does exactly what he is supposed to do (allegedly) and a company takes the proper route and doesnt sue him into oblivion, takes the proper steps to make a timely fix and gives him a reward. And yet everyone here swings and misses on the topic.

Congrats. This place is the officially one rung above 4chan.

I think thats a great idea.
They should expand this to other heavily traveled businesses and venues and high traffic areas throughout the city so even more people can have the chance to ride at a convenient time. Why hasnt anyone thought about this before???

. . . or your family doesnt represent the average SMS's sent a day?

I was going to post exactly this. With my work now done, its time for an early lunch.

You missed the point of his post.

Not all cars, driver agnostic, can go the same speeds due to the mechanical condition of the car. Im not talking about a Ferrari versus a '83 Ford escort in terms of top speed, but stopping time of said car if all moving at the same speed. Or delving further, at speed X, are all cars capable of safely swerving out of the way or braking in time in case of an emergency? Older and lesser quality cars will differ. Or another metric is how tuned up is your car? Is it liable to breakdown mid transit? Regulating speeds of car goes way beyond the driver's wants, but the mechanical capabilities of each car.
