It sounds like you're implying that paying for Netflix and using bittorrent is mutually exclusive. If the content on Netflix were better (it has everything you would ever want to watch) and less restrictive (want to watch offline?), a

Of course, the ideal way of sucking out the oxygen from these entities is to legalize the product they're pushing. Perpetuating the drug war is some "real evil shit" when you consider the police unions are among the biggest

Until there's one that doesn't suck, there should be more competition keeping the exchanges innovating and improving their services to be more competitive.

I agree with your point that paid products should be commercial free, though what about the insidious placement of commercial products embedded within the content (song lyrics or any item with a logo on it in a movie or tv show)? It seems

Litecoin itself is a clone of the first scrypt based coin, Tenebrix.

Just to clarify some of the facts. Dogecoin uses scrypt like litecoin, but this proof of work was first used by Tenebrix. It also employs the random block reward (vs fixed for litecoin) pioneered by LotteryTickets (which includes the ongoi

The bitcoin network's transaction verification mechanism, and all the hash power behind it (users) does give bitcoin "intrinsic value". Its true value comes from network effect.

Nothing makes the economy "boom" more than focusing productivity on single-use weapons and other commodities of war. The industrial production of WWII is what kicked off the boom that followed. If some is good, then more must be

Having worked in deep in the marketing machinery on behalf of big car companies, my take-away is automobile buying decisions are one of the most irrational decisions a person can make. So often, people will purchase a car to address "

Bitcoin could play a key role here. In my experience, donating using bitcoin feels clicking a "like" button. After learning about the system and how to use the client, its as easy as logging into facebook to like something.

I've been looking at chore monster and chore wars for much the same purpose. I've tried using dry issue tracking systems, and for as creative as these "gamified" options are, I still don't see them having enough hook to truly integrate int

There are a surprising number of folks in the metro who do bicycle on even the most brutal winter days. Typically armament includes studded tires and with a "cabin" it would greatly cut down on the chill from the wind. If anything, I thin

This is unfortunately a federal restriction on electrically assisted bicycles. The motor cuts off at 20 mph, the driver can peddle faster than this but the electric assist is only for the low speed range.

Seems inaccurate for my commuting times to various points in the metro as well. Looking at Broadway running east-west to the north of downtown, its a major thoroughfare that can take you to several major highways but its not being reflecte
