That's true, except they have been enforcing and building the capabilities to enforce at a larger scale. They can enforce going back decades, are called in constantly to help other investigations and prosecutions, and are in no rush. I

Right, I understand that can appear to be tightening, but the IRS guidance is exactly the same since 2014, as are the penalties. They're now more actively alerting US taxpayers they need to pay taxes on their "virtual currencies.&

Barring value judgements about the subject, there are some large chronology and fact checking problems with this post. The federal scrutiny of Bitcoin happened a long time ago now. The China crackdown was this year. The US agencies mentione

A critical relevant fact is missing to help explain this. It screws up currency analogies, and that may be why people have asked for clarification. Bitcoin (BTC) is classed by the US Federal Gov't (IRS) as property , not currency. Tha

Same here. I don't think it's a stretch to say that increased teen sexual energy, inextricably bound to increased general energy, was a big part of that, whether sexually active or not. In fact sublimated sexual desire/energy

I'd say visibility, permission avoidance, the excitement, and I'm sure there's more. Just like now, why would it have changed? For what specific reasons? Obviously spring and summer would be easier. I don't think that&#x

Well, no one else has said it, so I guess I drew the short straw. Teenagers are most likely wired for later nights because they have reached initial fertility. They will sneak off in the night to fool around, especially if they haven't

The OP gets what you are saying: In the meantime, Troy sent over a Letter of Intent and explained that it needed to be signed and returned by Monday. I was very frustrated by this. You don’t send a legal document to someone over the weeken

The following questions aren't meant to be antagonistic, but your PR has just taken a hit, and the specific claim made in this post about the LOI isn't a small one. Let's clear it up. There was good discussion of this on a p

After hearing this story, I would be more likely to invest in this startup. The LOI pressure over the weekend was unacceptable. The fact that the founders held firm and did not fall for it is an indicator of future success for them. This wa

Indeed, a chimpanzee was actually the top performer in 1999, by throwing darts at ticker pages. Bad year for the market. http://www.marketwatch.com/story/paul-farrells-commentary-ch... http://www.dailyfinanc

It's so refreshing to hear the attitude in this article, and MCRed's above. It's completely reasonable, this understanding that Apple has a right to decide what it sells in its own store. Unfortunately, other comments here of

Something got lost in translation- I use Debian exclusively as my Linux distro, and Crunchbang is a thin veneer over it. It was a lot of effort to get it going on that MacBook and worth every hour. The distro has zero responsibility to supp

Not at all. Manufacturers constantly contract to other manufacturers. Hence terms like OEM. If you haven't been involved in some part of the chain at some point, it's non-straightforward to learn the ropes. Certainly possible, of

Yes you're right, except I wasn't able to get a Debian install image to burn to a thumb drive the Mac would recognize. That's why I had to use Mint. Unfortunately, for this particular MBP there are no nvidia drivers that work

[Chesterton's] leisure pastimes included an eclectic mix of the unfashionable and the bohemian- sketching, collecting weapons, and playing with the cardboard cutouts of his toy theater. My hero for the day.

Yes, I agree. I'm a professional visual designer, FWIW. After 22 years on Macintosh, I've completely transitioned to Crunchbang on a MacBook Pro and a Windows 7/Crunchbang dual-boot workstation. I really like the translucency
