Probably because BTC are (sometimes) used in illegal transactions. It's an easy jump to assume that BTC are anonymous if the person doesn't fully understand the way the currency works. My question is this: When hackers steal 400k BTC how

Ugh, they should put that at the top of the article. Not that it's a long read but that comment invalidates the entire thing!

RE: #4 No, it's not racist. It's just ignorant. Everyone knows George Bush (along with all humans) is not a monkey, but an ape. Specifically an African ape. Knowing this makes racism a pretty humorous topic.

Maybe. Unless you're a long-haul trucker trying to shave some time, but those are typically plastic bottles. Or I suppose some extended coding sessions? I can't imagine a real need for such extreme tactics but who am I to say it doesn't h

Well it's sort of a half-assed suggestion since I don't like the program. But there are many free VPNs that could solve this problem easily and rolling your own is fun and informative. Pretty weak blog piece to be honest. Proclaiming that

So? Set up with a VPN that has stateside IPs, or build your own on AWS. Whether you pirate Mac Office or not though: I've been using it for awhile now and it's pretty lackluster. Most of the programs are stripped down versions. It usual

My comment was really 2 separate statements, I don't necessarily think Disney has a 'rock star' admin(s). But you make a valid point. Also, I think I don't get paid enough.

Looks like Disney fixed theirs. Can't believe there are admins at this level that miss this.

You don't reconcile. Tests of any kind have this problem as intelligence is not quantifiable, only knowledge and age. The GP is merely showing that the SATs are referenced as IQ tests. Since the same argument applies to IQ tests, even in

But it's the same as an iPad2, not an iPad (Retina). I think you are right that people will buy this because it's cheaper and smaller, but those are the people that would have purchased an iPad2 because they "don't want a tablet, they want

Bit off-topic but a serious question (not flaming): Even if the iPad Mini does cannibalize iPad sales (I'm sure it will cut into a percentage, but ultimately add to overall numbers/revenue), how will this possibly hurt Apple?

The point I was trying to make is that these smaller community-based facilities do provide the stability that clients need to compensate. In fact they do a better job than a large impersonal institution.
