Speaking of Bitcoins - best explanation that I've ever read (short read) - colin Jan 2, 15:42 8
- i just love the whole satoshi nakamoto narrative. i don't even care if any of it is true...nm - x Jan 2, 15:53 4
  - I honestly believe it could be Max Keiser and Ben Curtis' invention. -- nm - David Jan 2, 15:56 2
    - that actually would not be totally surprising to me either....nm - x Jan 2, 16:00 1
      - Agreed. -- nm - David Jan 2, 16:00
  - i know.. it makes the whole thing even more fascinating. -- nm - colin Jan 2, 15:55
- That all assumes that people want to constantly be watched, that enough people will have piggy banks and accept payment in that form to make it - pmb Jan 2, 15:48 2
  - well, there's just one room for bitcoin.. it's all the other webcurrencies that make it confusing. - colin Jan 2, 15:50 1
    - It's anonymous until it's not. There's a record of every transaction. It won't be that hard to figure out. The government has already seized - pmb Jan 2, 15:53

pizza reheating method: set oven to heat to 350, put on pizza stone or cookie sheet as it's heating up, wait 12 minutes. - Reagen Jan 2, 15:35 9
- You must eat weird pizza. 35 seconds in the microwave is perfection. -- nm - Spawn Jan 2, 15:43
- why reheat it? and if you do, add some new cheese. -- nm - colin Jan 2, 15:36 7
  - ...cause it tastes better? -- nm - Reagen Jan 2, 15:38 6
    - if your pizza isn't good cold (well, room temperature.. you shouldn't be fridging), it's not good pizza. -- nm - colin Jan 2, 15:40 5
      - Disagreed. Pizza is served hot for a reason. -- nm - Spawn Jan 2, 15:43 4
        
        because that's how it comes out of the oven! i like me some room temp pizza. -- nm - colin Jan 2, 15:48 3
        
        What about delivery guarantees? - Spawn Jan 2, 16:32
        
        and some boiled ice cream? -- nm - Bacon Jan 2, 15:49 1

    - Its called Basketball - eag Jan 2, 15:34 5
      - i prefer baseketball. -- nm - colin Jan 2, 15:40
      - Basketball sucks, sucks, sucks. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 2, 15:35 3
        
        Its kinda like Football to me - eag Jan 2, 15:37 2

Rumor WWE: Undertaker has requested that he work with Daniel Bryan at WM30 -- nm - Remlik Jan 2, 15:26 4
- that's a big push for Daniel Bryan ... but, given the recent events of RAW (spoiler?) ... - i'm finally the New Year's Baby ! Jan 2, 15:36 3
  - and speaking of, is Taker "semi-retired" or something? I haven't seen much of him lately. - i'm finally the New Year's Baby ! Jan 2, 15:37 2
    - basically. He'll show up a month or so out from WM and stay a few weeks after WM. Maybe an appearance at Summerslam... - Remlik Jan 2, 16:32
    - He pretty much does WM and thats about it for the last few years - eag Jan 2, 15:39
Caveman WR Keeps for next season : Jeffery, Marshall, J Nelson, Mi Floyd. - groiny Jan 2, 15:26
December was our highest internet usage month ever....we used 224.52 GB out of our allotted 250 GB -- nm - prayformojo Jan 2, 15:20
Bitcoiners: Kayne West will have an internet currency.... -- (link) - Remlik Jan 2, 15:07 24
- I don't understand this internet currency stuff at all. To me it's like tulips in Amsterdam about 400 years ago. - pmb Jan 2, 15:29 17
  - it's the very fact that it's not backed by a government that's appealing. -- nm - colin Jan 2, 15:34 16
    - I have no idea why that would be the case. Truly, I don't get it. -- nm - pmb Jan 2, 15:35 15
      - it's completely transparent - every transaction is seen and logged. that is unique to this currency. - colin Jan 2, 15:39 14
        
        Until the government learns his to decode who is who and has every transaction you've ever made. -- nm - spamlet Jan 2, 15:42 1
        
        true, but there's no identity to the bitcoin wallets - they're just a public number that everybody can see and a private number that someone - colin Jan 2, 15:45
        
        Honestly, I think it's silly. It's like deciding to return to the gold standard, only creating it out of thin air. - pmb Jan 2, 15:42 11
        
        Supply, at least of BitCoin, is not endless. The supply is capped and units aren't released into circulation until they are mined. Mining pretty - TWuG Jan 2, 15:48 1
        
        Your last sentence is why government intervention will happen sooner rather than later. -- nm - pmb Jan 2, 15:54
        
        I totally feel this way too. are we old? ("amanda! you're going to be late for trivia!!!") -- nm - peggy ann mcamanda Jan 2, 15:44 3
        
        I don't think we're old. I just think we've seen enough internet companies come and go to know that it can't really work for the long term. -- nm - pmb Jan 2, 15:57
        
        i understand how you and pmb feel - it's weird and foreign, but it's also a massive step in a new direction. - colin Jan 2, 15:47 1
        
        i don't have any problem with bitcoin in theory at all. i do think that central banks/governments will likely squash it.... - x Jan 2, 15:59
        
        ah, but it can't be created. because the record is public, you can't just "make" more bitcoins through your own initiative. - colin Jan 2, 15:43 4
        
        No, you just create Coinye's or megacoins, or other bscoins until the market is too confused and flooded for it to hold up. -- nm - pmb Jan 2, 15:50 3
        
        it takes users to make a currency. we can make ST coins and pay each other with them... but it's not the same as something with millions of people. -- nm - colin Jan 2, 15:51 2
        
        But its already happening. When people see dollars being made (note: actual currency), they keep trying to recreate it until it runs into the ground. -- nm - pmb Jan 2, 15:56
        
        Iirc, there's only ever going to be 21mil bitcoins in existance at a max - Will Hunting Jan 2, 15:54
- I want to bleach my eyeballs. we must never mention this again. -- nm - peggy ann mcamanda Jan 2, 15:26
- "The makers of Coinye hope, though, that their digital dollars will be more widely accepted by the public" good luck with that -- nm - Jovian Jan 2, 15:14 3
  - It's a clever attempt in that even if the coins only go up by a fraction, it could be a profit of 100x. -- nm - David Jan 2, 15:21 2
    - it's the new penny stock -- nm - Remlik Jan 2, 15:24 1
      - Indeed. - David Jan 2, 15:29
- This is the start of the end for internet currency. Flood the market with multiple players and kill the entire thing. -- nm - Bacon Jan 2, 15:09

as far as where Russell Wilson was drafted, Pete Carroll wanted him in round 2. John Schneider said 'relax, he'll still be waiting for us in round 3 - crash davis Jan 2, 14:55 10
- All thanks to Jacksonville...taking...a...punter. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 2, 14:56 9
  - lets be fair, a punter in Jacksonville sees a LOT of work -- nm - crash davis Jan 2, 14:57 8
    - but honestly, I think they thought they were set with Gabbert -- nm - crash davis Jan 2, 14:59 7
      - which is even sadder than drafting a punter in the 3rd -- nm - David Jan 2, 15:02 6
        
        Do you think the other GMs chuckled like we do when a caveman takes a K in the 3rd round? -- nm - spamlet Jan 2, 15:18 5
        
        [deleted]
        
        How could they not? -- nm - David Jan 2, 15:24
        
        Well, to be fair, 3rd round was Redmond's last pick of the draft. - Will Hunting Jan 2, 15:23 2
        
        Hey, I was in a very respectible 9th place thank you very much. -- nm - Bacon Jan 2, 16:05

  - Yeah I think Frank Thomas is too way up there -- nm - eag Jan 2, 15:04 5
    - are you kidding? anyone who doesn't vote for him should lose their voting privilege -- nm - dogbert Jan 2, 17:25
    - Big Hurt is a no-doubt hall of famer. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 2, 15:05 3
      - Agreed but there are a few guys the 40s that shouldn't be close to that. -- nm - Krusty Jan 2, 15:53
      - I *love* him. -- nm - peggy ann mcamanda Jan 2, 15:28
      - yup. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 2, 15:06
- I really hope that some of the really worthwhile candidates don't slip off the ballot - Will Hunting Jan 2, 14:54
ugh, so much for leaving work early to beat the snow. - znufrii Jan 2, 14:51

    - Penn St is not a top ten job for another 5 years -- nm - eag Jan 2, 14:59 6
      - Which is what I said in the post. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 2, 15:04 1
        
        Id might substitue Oregon for Penn ST at this point -- nm - eag Jan 2, 15:07
      - NCAA is about to relax some of the restrictions, they have a good QB, and even the restrictions that stay will be gone in 2 years. It's top 10 now, - Bacon Jan 2, 15:01 3
        
        But it will take at least 3 more recruting classes till they can go after the 5 star players -- nm - eag Jan 2, 15:03 2
        
        If you are a coming into College as a Freshmen now? Going there makes sense. You aren't most likely going to start anywhere else. - Bacon Jan 2, 15:05
        
        And by then, no high school players will know that Penn State used to be a thing in CFB -- nm - David Jan 2, 15:04
- It's uncanny how much this is mirroring the real UT's coaching search last year. - David Jan 2, 14:50 5
  - Lane Kiffin is now available if you guys can mend fences. -- nm - Bacon Jan 2, 14:51 4
    - We're not hiring but Texas would be perfect for him. -- nm - David Jan 2, 15:02 3
      - I don't see them going after what appears to be damaged goods - Bacon Jan 2, 15:04 2
        
        He will be back in coaching at some point - eag Jan 2, 15:05 1
        
        At a lesser program than Texas, sure. I don't see him getting a top 10 gig now though -- nm - Bacon Jan 2, 15:07
