Ah, but which is the master and which the apprentice?

And Edward Snowden was the driver.

Yeah, this computer is completely unsuited for my needs as a bitcoin mining supercomputer, so no one should buy one.

Unless, of course, you have different needs than mine.

As opposed to the wacko conservatives who think we should keep destroying the environment including all of our food until we're all dead. Don't you just love exaggerated strawmen blanket statements? It's much easier than thinking.

In my GUT, the three force of the universe (gravity, strong nuclear force, electromagnetic/weak) have been combined. I call it the Force. It surrounds us, binds us, flows through us, and thrives in microscopic organisms in your bloodstream.

And the Kronar is backed by the full faith of the Icelandic government. And it's utterly worthless. There are plenty more currencies backed by their governments around the world that are similarly worthless and abandoned by its citizens whenever possible. And some of those countries have a military too, before you ask. The Euro is doing quite well against the dollar, and there is no military behind it. The collective trust in a currency is far more important than the government that is backing it.

Stop following me on the internet, MOM!

Came here to say this. Sort of. Richard Dawkins coined the word meme in his 1976 book The Selfish Gene, which the article quotes. A meme is basically an idea, or concept, that replicates from host to host. An internet meme is just one kind of meme, but in common parlance has become just meme. But yeah, the word was created to show how ideas mutate and evolve like genes, so it shouldn't surprise us that they actually do. It's nice to see confirming evidence though, I guess.

That doesn't make any sense, since it would have to have taken in place in some sort of prequel, which was never made.

The Millennium Falcon crashed. The odds of successfully navigating an asteroid belt are...well, they're not good, let's just leave it at that.

I thought you were going to make some pithy remark that the U.S. dollar is little different from Bitcoin in that regard, but perhaps you haven't realizede that yet.

This is exactly what they say about liberals/Democrats. Both sides think the other side is stupid, ignorant, and/or crazy.

I think it might still grade spelling, grammar, punctuation, etc so you're still out of "luch".

Forgive my stupidity, but why did you link to the very article to which you responded? Was it to get me to click endlessly in a loop, never to actually post? Because it almost worked.

I read it a few years ago. Surveillance was used successfully several times. For instance, there was a camera behind the mirror in the apt they were staying in, watching them the whole time.
