I presumed this story was going to be about the USPS monopoly on first-class mail and would involve an armed raid to shut down competition, as has happened in the past. "The monopoly is well enforced. The USPS can conduct searches and

I'd be interested in seeing a speed comparison with Cloudflare. Cloudflare's DNS is completely free and it's the fastest DNS service I'm aware of.

Sorry to say, but I don't think the issue is a lack of a BS, but it's that your credential is from ITT. This isn't meant to be demeaning or derogatory, but ITT just isn't a highly regarded institution.

I paid cash for a time for my medical care, and GP visits for regular illness or annual physical generally were $70 to $80.

I recommend the book "Combatting Cult Mind Control" by Steven Hassan. He was in the moonies and talks about his experience leaving the organization and now he helps other escape from similar cults.

Is it the raw, original weather station data, or the data the NOAA has been "adjusting" over and over to make the past cooler?

I love it, but I don't see that there is an app for non-kindle devices for managing or playing video for the Fire TV. The thing I like about chromecast is the ability to browse and play video from my ipad. But of course chromecast does

I don't see how much she paid to get it back. A civil suit filing with a demand for a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction could be filed in a few hours and since godaddy and hostmonster are US companies, they would h

It's likely that the taxable event would occur when you can control the bitcoins. For instance, many pools have a minimum payout and you can't withdraw any until you meet that minimum. Based on other IRS rules, the taxable event

Like any other property theft, you can (sometimes) deduct the value of the theft from your income. http://www.irs.gov/publications/p547/ar02.html

Actually, it says that you are taxed on their value at the time they are mined.

by jstalin 13y ago
Pool mining would be no different. Basically the rule is that you "recognize" the income when you receive the bitcoins, be it through pool mining or individually -- it makes no difference.

Unlikely, bitcoin isn't something you'd capitalize (and depreciate) because there's no clear "lifetime" to the asset.

by jstalin 13y ago
My initial thought is that they'd be able to deduct the loss since the bitcoin is being treated as property and not currency. The trade of property for property is done at market value and any subsequent trade is as well, leading to a

I hope a cache of these photos leak to the public. Nothing finally gets people out of their easy chairs like making it personal.

Similar experience here. I set up nginx, php-fpm, php-apc, W3 total cache, and put it all behind cloudflare. I have no problem running this on 256MB RAM servers. I just wish wordpress would support sqlite natively, then I wouldn't need

Yes, this happens to me as well. Netflix downloads at around 500kbps. Try using a VPN service. When I do, the throughput jumps to 8-10mbps.

Oh, and the even more galling part... when watching Hulu on regular Comcast (without the VPN), the shows average around 500-900kbps. When it flips over to displaying the commercials, it jumps to 8Mbps or more!

I have experienced exactly this on Comcast. Suddenly, about two months ago, Netflix and Hulu became terrible to watch. I thought maybe it was my cable modem, so I upgraded it and still no luck. So I signed up for a VPN service and tested wa

WARNING - get legal advice now. You'll likely come under the umbrella of money transmission business laws meaning that you need to register with your state and the federal government (assuming you're in the USA).

Much of Apple's cash is stashed in Ireland, where the corporate income tax rate is 12.5%. If it were 5% in the US, no doubt that money would return quickly. http://underdisclosed.com/apple-offshore-cash-horde-u-s-taxe..
