Getting rid of keys - lockitron, et. al. There's cases for phones that have card slots, so it might be possible to fake it today and move to NFC and cryptocurrency on a longer time horizon.

So almost nothing compared to the current 8.3 million USD market cap of DOGE overall. This is a nonstory^2.

It's pretty funny that enough people believe DOGE has value that the market cap is 11,768.50 BTC (8.3 million USD). http://www.cryptocoincharts.info/v2/coins/show/doge Then again, the number of people th

How might this compound compare to HGH, etc. by getting in top physical shape by working out (a lot), healthy diet and sleep?

Holiday banter may go something like this: "Carnival booths, lawyers and politicians maybe the most honest... But there was once this company called Telegram that went the way of its namesake. Blah blah... for screwing over a Russian

Offering the contest was shady and stupid enough. Not paying just proves they're chiselers that never intended to pay in the first place. This wins the runner-up award for second most botched PR disaster ever. The consolation prize

Gandhi gets misunderstood quite easily because of how well he understood how to defeat those that employ violence... By showing massive fortitude by acts of passive resistance, it both awes the bully and gains their respect instead of appea

Fear to defend one's stature or business is often the bullshit used to compartmentalize the means to reach an end that "protects" something, in spite of costs to others. That seems to fit the definition of concrete, areligou

People that control content licenses and distribution aren't all stupid. The lobbyists and industry groups do the dirty work to "defend" their client's interests. Perhaps the Pirate Party and TPB should invest in cover

No big deal. If one wanted to exploit NSMenuExtra with an App Store app, a separate web downloadable "plugin" would be able to take over this sort of "verboten" functionality. Coordination via group container IPC would

Yeah that's true. Should always try to mirror prod as close as practical in dev, and OSX != Linux. So I use just one Ubuntu lts VM with docker backed by zfs. That way, I can ssh to it and predictably recreate any number of isolated
