Hmmm, interesting. I just never considered that my responsibility. I'll think about doing that. One problem with blocking bots is sometimes I really can't tell if they are bots. Bots often copy profile pictures, descriptions, and

Being a nobody on twitter can be extremely frustrating if you're tweeting and expecting anyone to pay attention. I have about 100 followers. I know most of those are probably spam bots. For the remaining, many are inactive. Others have

Your theory might explain why the offer is only made once a year. Most likely, your bad day isn't going to line up with the availability of the offer. If it was always on offer, you might be more inclined to jump ship impulsively.

I'm still kicking myself for buying a bit at $17 after the $32 peak and selling as soon as it came back up to that again some months later. I feel like buying again.

Well, I'm there with you on Soylent. And the at home FMT makes nervous as well. What I don't get is the widespread notion that: self experimentation makes you a nutter.

Hmm... I read this and wanted more information about what happened in the last 185 days. There's a link to the YumHacker site but not much context there. Here's a post explaining it a bit more: http://blog.yumhacker.c

I think some of the replies here are missing the point. 5% could be huge, sure. You would think it would absolutely dwarf the $20. So why risk missing the next Minecraft for a measly $20?

Nice! Just a reminder of what's not here (and thus is registered): All but one of the English words in a 100k word list that is less than 6 characters long. Average English word length is about 5 characters. Kind of mind boggling.
