the fund's AsicMiner position. I'd like

ozbot: Duffer comments on I'm a journalist. I want
to be able
to write about Bitcoin confidently and accura
mircea_popescu: the idyllic notion is
that someone sane ending up on
the forum by accident follows
the light out of
there.
BingoBoingo: ANd some people don't spank
the wife enough
to have a line
that simply read "porn"
BingoBoingo: Eh, some line has
to appear on

mircea_popescu: which begs
the question why even have a brand at all, but i guess
that'd be a little facetious.
ozbot: MiG-31: A fighter ahead of its
time | Russia & India Report
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: It keeps branding, because I imagine it is in a business where
the customers don't need
the brand
to find you.

the
top 10 works for

those dead in wtc
BingoBoingo: US special ops are still busy in deserts and mountains engaged in war against people who until 2003 had no idea
there was a United States or
that
they lived in Afghanistan
mircea_popescu: and so
the failure of us army is compounded by failure of us diplomacy ?
BingoBoingo: Well, US special ops are
too busy cleaning up US messes. Also crimean people would prolly not like US special ops.

mircea_popescu: but because i am pretty certain
the us could not field 15k ish special ops
that can
take over crimeea
BingoBoingo: Of course, favorite quote: "Putin, who is
the Supreme Commander of
the Russian Armed Forces, has not yet ordered

the russian army is much more powerful
than
the us by
this point
ozbot: Crimean authorities confirm
takeover of military units | Russia & India Report
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla he did do a runner.

tell
TestingUnoDosTre stop arguing shit and do what you're
told or not do what you're
told.
there's no prize for arguments,
this isn't school.
benkay: the market for
that linked bet is rather large
benkay: maybe
the mods are
trying
to cut down on zero-interest bets,
TestingUnoDosTre.
TestingUnoDosTre: surprised at
the amount of miniscule bets on
the website if
theyre always staking .1btc
benkay: no, because you see
talking is important.
kakobrekla: TestingUnoDosTre
the word was 10 btc will pretty much guarantee it,
the lower you go
the less likely will it be, likely.
FabianB: TestingUnoDosTre: did you follow
that link?
benkay: everyone has
told you what
to do, now stop blathering and do it.
benkay: if
the mods say "moar"
try doubling your bet.
benkay: the general message you should be accepting is
that you need
to interface with bitbet via bitbet.
the people behind bitbet set it up
the way it is so as
to minimize
these sorts of interactions.
benkay: TestingUnoDosTre: have you
tried doubling or quadrupling?
cazalla: i would assume alexa doesn't count mobile app
traffic

TestingUnoDosTre
this will result in a PM
Duffer1: Testing
that message would have shown on your client with
the name "gribble"
benkay: made him
take
the other side before
telling him who operates bitbet
benkay: shoulda opened a bitbet
that
TestingUnoDosTre would hear
the same
thing from a) everyone b) kako c) mp
TestingUnoDosTre: I I proposed a bet
that
the share price of mmm divided by
the bitstamp daily high would be above or equal
to .2 on may 3rd. I opened with a .5 btc wager, and it was rejected, citing
that i needed
to put down more btc due
to
the peculiarity of
the bet. why isnt .5 btc substantial enough when many bets start with less
than .1 btc
benkay: We go by
the last price rates
that we receive directly from MTGox,
kakobrekla: and after x months closed cause lost
too much money
benkay: skinnkavaj: didja figure

mircea_popescu: if women were regularly spanked in
the home all
these problems'd go away anyway.
mircea_popescu: "I don't want
to be cynical, but boy oh boy is it hard not
to observe
that at
the very moment in our history when we have
the most women in
the Senate, Congress is perceived
to be pathetic, bickering, easily manipulated and powerless, and I'll risk
the blowback and say
that
those are all stereotypes of women."
kakobrekla: <mircea_popescu> and
the fact
that ridding bitcoin of "bankers" and other idiots only cost 500 btc in 2012... heh < ah, so nostalgic :D
