Exactly. The problem is that dust transactions (pennies) are currently not getting picked up in the Bitcoin ledger, because there is not enough space in the transaction block for them. Miners choose the largest amounts of transaction payments, sometimes which go as high as 50 cents. Obviously, 50 cents is no big deal if you are moving thousands of dollars, but it's a huge deal if you are paying a penny for a listen.

This is totally false. Bitcoin absolutely works. Just because they use a payment processor to avoid fluctuations doesn't mean that they can't instantly take payments for content from every country on earth the instant it goes up. What's wrong with a worldwide direct sales market for artists? Sounds great to me.

My Wii DVD drive failed, but it didn't matter that much since I had a Wii U already and I could play all the old games on there.

I'm 47 and I'm addicted to Breath of the Wild. But the last time I was like this wasn't that far back. Arkham City for me.

Not really. The most immersive aspect of Zelda is in the JoyCons. Every different combination of weapon and what you hit with it has a different feel. Even the amount of contact changes it. The JoyCons IMO are the key to making Breath of the Wild so immersive.

Now Netflix just gives me a bunch of 1- and 2- star rated shows that they think I will... I don't know... hate?

Now that you mention it, this seems very likely. All of the most disappointing ratings I've received lately were from Netflix produced shows.

Yep. At first. And then they all worked so you could easily buy a cheap 486/66 and run it at 100 no problem.

I got a "2-core" AMD "Sempron" which was really just a Phenom with 2 cores turned off. I turned them back on on my motherboard and ran 4-cores the whole time.

But do you run your computer crunching stuff 24/7 or does it sit idle most of the time?

Muphry's Law at work.

You mean upload. Since these were all P2P users uploading small bits. Nobody in the US has been prosecuted for downloading.

Atari 8-bit emulators do artifacting to simulate color on some games. http://atariage.com/forums/top...

Said no one, ever. My distant cousin is the nearly the top surgeon in the country and didn't want to eat out because it's "too expensive". And while they had a nice house, it wasn't anywhere near what I would expect from the top surgeon in a US state.
