Death of Windows (for me at least)

I saw Bitcoin as another Second Life, great for smart young programmers to have a new sandbox to play in, but not actually useful for working adults. I was similarly "annoyed" by all the Second Life media hype happening after I had written it off.

If this is the kind of impetus needed to set off patent reform, all the better. I would argue against the "Troll" label, it is a legal firm doing its job very well. The Troll bashers I assume would prefer the companies to just leave this $ to the infringes? Why? Is it somehow immoral to use the legal system for financial gain? No, it is not, not at all. I'd say good on them for finding the loop holes and driving their $600M lorrie straight through it to the bank. Don't say fuck the trolls, fuck the patent system in the US which Apple has used to the detriment of many young companies too, they are all playing the game.

If that was true the US would have A LOT fewer ads.

Are you Russian, this is a common sentiment there :)

Yeh, at a PE of 36 I like what your saying, but still not close an the Amazonian 850+ PE!

How can one China Ponzi sheme have $7.5 billion, but the the best ponzi sheme to date, bitcoin, market cap only stands at like $5 billiion?

Best reply, but... How often is a typo made (1:1000?), how much time for support staff is needed and how many lost orders due to a ~24 hour delay in some orders being placed. Also, easy to flood the system with bad orders that need to be manually sorted, like a fake order DDoS.

What about accept PayPal with a 10% discount for bitcoin?

Both protein and guide RNA need to be expressed in the organism, so viral, bacterial or mechanical introduction of DNA is still necessary.

This number of course applies to only their targeted market, farms of a certain size and then only those growing two or three specific crops, but that's a long ass headline.

Your "reading" it still, what is this 2005?? The audio edition is amazing! After three years of listening to every issue I think I may be picking up a British accent in my day to day life.

Also not addressed, why not decrease block dissemination time to 5 min, will that not do the same as doubling the block size?

As a plant breeder I can assure you the gluten content has certainly gone up! We call it a "Multi Trait Index" for baking quality, and we can show nearly every years released varieties increase in the MTI. What is the number one weighted factor of the baking quality MTI? Gluten percentage. Also, this article is bunk, saying, "if people can maintain an enzyme to digest lactoes, we should be able to evolve an enzyme to break down gluten too. "Total hoggerty poggerty applesauce!" NYT, you are cut off!

Can anyone tell me why French institutions are so inept at translating their sites into English. It must be on purpose, a big f-u to non native French speakers.
