   It's not just the price, but the rising difficulty[1]. Since last month the price of ETH dropped by more than 50% (from a record high bubble). In the same time span, difficulty - how much ETH you can expect to get per whatever your GPU

   I'd guess this is why they're sending message notifications only sporadically? I've been thinking of setting up a little service for myself to monitor the FB web interface messages and then forward their content by email so

   I refuse to install Messenger, so I'm actually annoyed by FB's lack of notifications (by email) when I receive a FB message. It used to be the case that FB would email you the message text. They switched that to "you have a m

    I've heard that desalination of seawater is not a practical solution to drought because it's too energy-intensive. Does this change when energy temporarily costs less than $0/unit?

    ABCL's interoperability with Java is not part of the CL spec, but an add-on. This can make it easy to quickly get things done in a situation where Java libraries are the best tool for the task, but at the cost of portability between CL

    That's true. The hashrate/$ and hashrate/watt for the AMD cards is much more favorable for Ether mining.

    Hah, I remember the BFL fiasco. When my Jalapeno arrived five months after ordering, I looked at the hashrate, etc, and turned right around and sold it for twice what I'd paid.
