Same goes for bitcoin. There is so much of it to go around ... just like Gold, although we know how many bitcoins there are. There are miners and there are non miners. You are a non-miner.

Actually Clinton with Kosovo and Bush with Iraq made Crimea small fry.

Tell us what you know !!! Information wants to be free

Did the families die as well !!

I am sure that his whole industry is based on provable metrics. So the prood is in the pudding my friend ... how can we know what you claim is true. 'pretty sure' does not go very far.

Well she gave the iPad but not the data in the cloud ... she may be using that now that she is up there.l

I will use simpler words for you. There are precedences that have disarmed the US and are the result of US actions. The US made a call under it's own reasoning to bomb the crap out of Iraq. It did not use the UN. Why should Russia not be able to do the same thing. Russia is simply protecting their interests. Kossovo voted out of Serbia even though it is historically Serbian but the population of Albanians are pretty high. I am not making a judgement on the ethics of that action, just of the precedent set. The ex-government of Ukraine was ousted which was popularly elected. Russia sent troops in to protect their interests. Whole divisions and war ships are switching sides to Russia. It seems to me that the south is Russian by a big majority.

If the US could invade Iraq without UN support and under the pretense of the moral high ground as defined by the US, then so can Russia invade Crimea. If the Kosovo can leave Serbia and become it's own country under the support of the US even though it is historically Serbian but by population Albanian so can Crimea which has a Russian majority. The US has made their bed and now it is sleeping in it. Precedence is a bitch, the US set the precedent and now they are winging about what is happening in Crimea !! Russia supplies 60% of Europe's energy and it will increase to 80% ... the US has nothing to stand on. If they apply sanctions, the Russians will increase the price of gas and oil and have Europe pay for them just for giggles.

So the question does not apply to you. If somebody asked you, do you still trust medicine "a" over medicine "b" for a particular condition. If you are not a doctor, please don't answer.

In negotiations there is a point where you need to behave irrationally otherwise negotiations continue to your detriment. That was a means to signal that it is your final offer, and I am willing to drop it for something as ridiculous as a flight to Barcelona. They could have offered a flight in a gold plated A380, it would not have made a difference. Next time you negotiate with your wife over going out with your buddies, you might recognise the "irrational behaviour" trick now.

Pretty much anybody staying on earth or even having returned to earth after going to space has died here. There is no technology yet that can change that.

What happened here ? How can I go back to the old Slashdot ?

When mobiles came out there where similar rules to be said. People where making fun at people seemingly talking to them selves in public. Now days you can seem a whole dinner table swiping away and that's the old people !

Get off my road then, build your own if you want to get around

Much like a city depends on fines for it's budget so will the government on philanthropy. The government would spend more on social causes if philanthropy did not exist. Cities would not have a vested interest in not reducing income from fines if it did not depend on it for its budget.
