I was trying to use Popcorn yesterday and it just plain sucked. I then installed XBMC and XBMCTorrent plugin, and everything was buttery smooth. Popcorn is built on A LOT of immature technology, which makes it very slow. XBMCtorrent on the

>1) outside of a really small group of people (unless I'm mistaken?) You are mistaken. Haven't you seen commercials for those "breakfast drinks"? That's what this is pretty much.

The reason there is a south and north Ossetia is because one side is in Gerogia and the other is in Russia. The N and S Ossetians don't hate each other or anything - they want to join together. Regardless if it's Georgians or Ru

MtGox had to code custom software to interact with the bitcoin network because of their size. They coded it wrong and allowed a bug that could (and did) wipe them of their money. How is it the bitcoin network's fault?

I belong to a culture (North Caucasian) that doesn't / didn't have it's own writing script in that time frame. That also faced havoc due to mongol conquest (so this might have created refugees). This discovery excites me

Everybody as an internal thermometer on how comfortable they are with success. If you're too low ("I know I can do better than this!"), you work until you reach your temperature. If you're too high, you self sabotage you

Sweet, I was hoping someone would make something like this! The thing that inhibits me from using your site is that I don't understand 100% what it does / how it does it, and how much it costs. I'd add A LOT more meat to your

Wouldn't recommend them. I heard they have a "moral contract" you have to agree to. If they don't like what you're doing with your domains (even if it's legal), they can (I forget, seize or kick you out, but ba

First of all, you need to explain what your "Defense agency" does. Actual defense is almost impossible if you want any mobility. Even US presidents get shot by determined citizens. If someone is willing to give their life to kill
