Gas is apparently 0.06 cents (USD) a gallon. A gallon of gas provides roughly 30 kW/hr. How much is a kW/hr of electricity in Venezuela? If it is more than 0.002 (USD) a kW/hr you might be better of w/ electric generato

Why don't you mine for BC using the super-cheap gas (6 cents a gallon)? (the ultimate insult to environmentalist, such as myself, everywhere)

As a U.S. citizen, next time I hear about a major credit card breach I will definitely relax as federal regulation limits my liability to $50 (and that is if the physical card is stolen). If only my credit card number is stolen, I have ZERO

I guess my point is you can buy a 1br condo in Atlanda w/ 55k, you can't buy anything w/ 100k in Manhattan.
