I was just wondering given that 75% of US currency is tainted by drug traces we can safely assume it was used in illegal transactions. So if we compare this to "dirty" bit-coins how do you determine if a coin is dirty. How recent

Yes and the only major difference i see compare to London is that the last mile is done with Cat5 instead of phone line. Not that much of a feat. You also forgot to factor in terrain it is quite a mountainous country.

Actually worse. Most people still have a hard time just doing basic things on a laptop. The difference is teenagers are teaching their parents how to use laptops or other new electronics so they are improving slowly.

That's very optimistic and idealistic but the harsh truth is we treat people as resources and if we replace them with cheaper robots that make the company richer but at the same time leaves that person unemployed. This transfer of weal

Seems like a good idea. A new house should have both AC and DC available. Save us all the wasted power and effort converting AC to DC in most electronics. I just hope we don't go overboard removing AC. Some thing are just simpler using
