I'm surprised that I am commenting late and I am the first one. Am I the only one that seems to think that this can be used for racketeering, money laundering, ext. Also, balancing a dual currency economy by arbitrage? Interesting concept?

I don't think you realize the severity of his lies over Fable, and Fable 2. Back when it was Project Mayhem (can't recall exact name) he promised very life accurate features, graphic engines that would redefine presentation, and gameplay me

I hardly think a guy that LIES about what his product is doing and has success merely because people decided to buy the product regardless. It is almost like he owes his success to the low self-worth of gamers that they would still play a g

This is very anecdotal naturally. But I am a dyslexic and it was really a struggle for me as a little kid. I don't like reading very much because it is a frustrating endeavor. I like information, I like thinking, and I guess I have favored

I'm not the brightest guy in the world. But I can tell you that human companionship often comes in forms that you do not expect. I wouldn't look only for technical people to talk to and hang out with. While I'm sure that shared interest can

:) It's nice to hear we are appreciated.

I don't picture people with technical skills being deterred by this. I don't think that the people who want to get access to free information will use this. I do think this is a response to the regime of the Arab Spring, and I think that it

This seems awesome. They neglect to mention how to power any circuits and what components you could and how. If this could be perfected though, Electrical Engineers would slowly take over the world... with circuits....

Silly Noob, it's a six pool now. Also, really a seven pool because it makes sense to make a drone instead of saving for the spawning. The ideal rush is an eight pool, unless you wish to do some sort of timing attack.

It is sort of a catch 22 for her to say how silly it is to have a co-founder when you are young and unproven. If you are capable of doing it yourself, then yes, of course you should. However, many people who are capable of doing themselves

Can someone confirm that indeed 80 cents of every tax dollar goes to pensions?

It is amazing how many young people can succeed in technical fields at a young age. Most great physicists make some of their incredible discoveries when they are young. Mark Zuckerburg was in college when facebook was created. Same with Nap

Benefits from trade are a good notion. However, some trades are completely unfair. Example, Native Americans trading the island of Manhattan for a few dollars of beads. Even though it is great business. It is immoral to me to lie about the

It seemed like he had an incredible product he could have sold for more in my opinion. For contractual projects wouldn't it make sense to know the value of what is going to be produced (more or less) and then negotiate the percentage of it.

I think we agree on almost everything. I was just theorizing that the magical force behind Germany's constant industrial success is having rationality deeply rooted in their culture. I probably just misunderstood your comment.

Ah, you are right. Thank you for correcting.

I found some numbers to support and condemn my earlier statements. http://www.russellsage.org/chartbook/householdform/figure4.5... Shows that poorer households on average have more children. However, it also shows that that population is

Funny joke. But I'm pretty sure this reinforces how far away our robot overlords still remain.

I agree with you that given the percentage changes in the way we view money, there has to be massive social change in thought. I also agree that people filter what the news tells them. However, I disagree that the two are related. I don't b

I spent four months living in Germany. I see tons more national pride when I am in the United States. The only national pride I have seen Germany conveyed was for their football team. Some Germans find it difficult to even discuss their rec

Touche. It's a mix of both, I suppose. However, what I meant to convey was that it is not too surprising that there aren't many women on a website that would take some degree of technical knowledge to stumble upon. Given the differential be

To address you comments: PENSIONS I didn't mean to criticize all pensions. Just the State of California's where you can retire and make 90% of your PEAK income for rest of your life. It is simply an unsustainable amount given how much the p

As long as we are speculating. What exactly is wrong with learning from the examples and failures of other countries. True, maybe we can not generate the same economy as Germany. However, perhaps we could find a way to copy or mimic what is

I agree with you that there great myths about finance. However, I do not find it fair to conclude that there is a mass belief that is all a lie. I think people just don't think. They are fine to just stretch their finances to whatever whims

It seems like a matter of philosophy. There are going to be distinct advantages and disadvantages with any investment philosophy you wish to make your own. The real question is what are your long term goals? This is how I see real estate in

There are good and bad investments of everything. What matters is results. If the housing is a good deal and won't fail, then logically it is a smart move. I don't think you can decide on a hypothetical without investigating. At the very le
