What are all these flaws that all these idiots are unable to see? I thought it was the absolute perfect currency that cannot be bested by anything, I guess I was wrong ... You have singlehandedly and so eloquently disproven the entire basis of Bitcoin I am forced to see it for the absolute trash that it is.

Section (3) (a) reads in part: "Users acknowledge that certain details may be provided to third parties ... provision of such information is necessary for IP owner to operate its business" and (3) (b) reads in part: " Users acknowledge that information about them may be transmitted between countries to other entities that IP owner has commercial contracts with" Sounds legit - what could possibly go wrong?

Is this true? Animal instincts seem very interesting to me. Please correct me if my interests are mistaken.

What is this...desire?

I think it makes a prefect case for open source ideals. The fork from the original OOo demonstrates a commitment to the values that open source encompasses. If a company scoops up a project and will likely destroy it, just fork it and make it better. You can also look to Mambo (and countless others) for a similar story.

Hexagons! Just like real life!

Like the misattributed / made-up quotation allegedly said by Stalin went: "Death solves all problems — no man, no problem."

Maybe the fact that the Romans and the Mongols never tried to conquer Afghanistan was the result of an intelligent reticence. Even in the Byzantine era (who still called themselves "Romans") when Heraclius more or less replicated Alexander the Great's feat of conquering the Persian Empire, he promptly turned around and went home without touching Afghanistan.

But like an earlier comment mentioned, as ruthless and (in my opinion) needlessly violent as the USA's recent conduct as been, the Romans would not have tolerated an insurgency. I once heard the journalist Seymour Hersch (I probably misspelled his name) allege that in the Project for a New American Century circles such as Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld, the Third Punic War is bandied about as lot as an example of what the USA should do (As in, after two huge wars against Carthage, one of them involving Hannibal running riot across Italy for ten years, the Romans had effectively cowed Carthage into little more than a vestige of what it once was. When there were rumblings of possibly a third major conflict, the Romans responded by simply killing everyone they wanted to, selling the few survivors into slavery, and famously sowing their land with salt so that nothing would ever grow there again.)

I'm reminded of a great quote by the grouchy Roman historian Tacitus - "The Romans make a desert and call it 'peace.'"

The fact that you can't tell means he passed the test.

I hate this argument.

Both sports are called "football" because they are played ON FOOT, as opposed to being played on horseback such as the more patrician sports like polo. Manipulation of the ball with your foot has nothing to do with the name.

And if you build your own flying combat suit (perhaps with a red and gold color scheme...) you can listen to it every time you take off!

As someone with an artificial aortic valve and artificial aorta, that is, as an actual cyborg, this Warwick guy is an embarrassment to cyborgs too.

My programming algorithms tell me that killing you now would not constitute a net loss for the human race. ROBOTICS_LAW_OVERRIDE = 1.

Replying here in lieu of being able to reply all 4 replies,

Well, looks like I made a very stupid post without actually investigating what I was talking about. I was wrong. I apologize.

Wow, so devoted to their lifestyle that they have to go all the way to their neighbor's house to breach it! I may get modded flamebait for this, but seriously, what does their objection to that technology even mean if it can be so easily disregarded. Oh, God doesn't mind or isn't looking if it's for a special occasion? How do they know? And if so, then why can't they just own a TV and call every day a special occasion?

I'd have more respect for them if they simply didn't own a television by choice and watched it at their neighbor's place, rather than out of some showy religious gesture.
