It's also refreshing that Google's marketing strategy isn't to perpetuate a myth that Larry Page is the mastermind of everything Google does.

Way to go BrainTree! We use them at http://cam.ly , and the straightforwardness of their terms, and customer service has always been in a different league, compared to other merchant account providers. Not to mention, a sane, documented A

I don't see any relativity in the actual post, but I'm happy to see it here in the comments. For more info, of course, the real source is Einstein's "On the Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies"

At first, this miner said it was giving me 200KH/s. Then, I turned on bitcoind and ran Diablo-Miner, and it gave me 8.6MH/s. I turned off Diablo-Miner, went back to the webcl miner, and then it started reading 8.6/8.8MH/s too. I'm not su
