You dress for the job you want, not the job you have. I'd say unless you're at a College, you should wear a nice buttoned down shirt tucked into nice slacks with a belt and a decent pair of shoes.

'decentralized digital currency' There is no such thing, and there never will be. Anything digital has to be backed by something, somewhere. After the US Dollar collapses, the one world government types will push a new global currency. It will not be decentralized or anonymous. After that there will be a global revolution and we'll return to using precious metals as currency along with the good ol' barter system.

Dollars used to be backed by gold, and coins were minted out of silver. The dollar had the same value as the gold, but was easy to transport and anonymous. The coins had (and still have if they're pre-65) inherent value because they are precious metals, they're easy to transport for small amounts, and they're totally anonymous. There's nothing wrong with cash except the fact that it loses value, because it's not backed by precious metals. Has anyone here even heard of Bretton Woods? Jeesh... That and the free market economy is the reason that the USA became the worlds superpower. We broke the Bretton Woods agreement and we no longer have a free market economy, which is why we're 16 trillion (100+ trillion when you include unfunded liabilities) in debt and on the verge of a currency collapse, which will lead to social unrest the likes of which the world has never seen.

World GDP is up to 60 trillion dollars BECAUSE the dollar is not backed by gold anymore. The money supply has been inflated, which devalues the currency. Devaluing the currency removes the incentive to save, and forces people to 'invest'. This is a scheme perpetrated by politicians and bankers. The banks get everyone's money which allows them to control the wealth. If gold was still used by everyone as money, politicians couldn't promise things they can't afford, and bankers couldn't endlessly inflate the money supply, forcing everyone to 'invest' with them.

Those 'owners' don't own gold, they own paper.

Gold and silver are still accepted by most world governments. It's just that they make you trade it for whatever fiat currency they are pushing at the time.

The US Dollar is the bubble. Gold can only be seen as being 'in a bubble' when compared to fiat currencies. The value of precious metals is static, it's the value of the fiat currency against which they are measured that changes.

Spend $10 on a 16GB USB drive and plug it in. That's what I did and Forza3 runs great...

You don't really NEED all that much storage. You can also use two 16GB USB drives for 36GB total storage, and those cost about $10 each. I'm not a heavy gamer, just play most stuff from the disk and install a couple games that I like to play a lot, so it works for me.

It's a matter of perspective. 'Worker friendly conditions' is subjective by nature. I'd say that if you're family is hungry, you have no wealth nor any means to acquire any, and you're able to get a job that puts food on the table, whatever conditions you work in are pretty friendly. If you have money, and food, then maybe you can start wishing for an employee arcade or room full of saunas or something.

That's any VM, not any host. There aren't going to be too many VMs out there with 96GB allocated to them.

Sure, if it prevents someone from burning fossil fuels instead! lol

Consensus does not make something true or scientifically accurate. If that were the case, the earth would indeed have been flat for many centuries. Most of the people I talk to (not scientists) do indeed believe in climate change. In fact, we witness a significant amount of climate change at least 4 times every year.

The way to reduce subsidies till they no longer distort the market, is to remove them completely. Otherwise it's like saying, I'll just do a little heroin, till it no longer distorts my sense of reality.

Why is our government in the loan-making business in the first place? Ridiculous no matter how they spin it.
