One of the questions I have is why is that a requirement? Why does one network need to support the entire global populations? I mean if it's to be used as fiat currency then I only need it to pay for things roughly in my extended commu

I remember in the nokia days it took one hand to take your phone out of your pocket, text a friend and put it back in your pocket. If i can't do what I need to do with one hand the phone is basically useless.

I own the 128gb SE. Compact form factor - i thought that was the point of phones - and tons of storage for music. It's like having a smart phone with an oldskool ipod. Sometimes I just don't feel like streaming things.

I find it distrubing that some of the most widely used arguments against Monsanto can be myths. It makes me really question the information I get whether supportive/critical. That aside they are pretty evil.

Related to prop 13 that is also how golf courses in cali metro areas are able to exist, despite taking up huge swaths of land and having very few members. There was a revisionist history episode on it: http://revisionisthistory.c

Your point seems to make sense in GPU lands as well. Nvidia offers ECC on their workstation class GPUs - quadro - but not on their gaming GPU - gtx.

I'm using coinbase atm that doesn't short. Also has very high fees. EDIT: bitfinex doesn't work on the machine I'm using. Guess shorting will have to wait for later.
