My friends invite me to dinner sometimes. They make the meal. That does not make them chefs, or cooks by profession. At best we can say they cooked that particular meal. Being a journalist or reporter by profession is one thing. Saying

Convenient, for sure. However, I always have the choice of not giving up my passwords, under (even painful) threat. Also, someone cannot get my passwords if I am dead. Ever. Unfortunately, with biometrics, it is quite easy to force me to

Well... I think you should look more often on eBay: http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_trksid=m570.l3201&_nkw=infus... => 49.99$ is not _that_ hideously high.

Contrary to Bitcoins, your credit card does not scale. Try to do a debit or refund of 150,000,000$ on your card. Cannot be done. Bitcoin will happily do it's thing, either with 1$ or 150 M$ without discrimination, questions, etc...

The problem in India does not have its root cause in Capitalism. It seems to me that what is required here is a deep change of Indian society. Women seem to compete for men with money, which is absurd. Moreover, there is this "caste&

Hrrrumph. The British Way is subtle. They could have simply leaked info about the guy to the Russian Maffia and let them do their thing. It seems to have worked quite well.

That, exactly. Google, Apple, Facebook and friends go to great lengths to evade taxes. When it comes to tax matters, those companies have no hesitation to use all the tricks available to a trans-national company. And they pay very smart p
