Re: It’s not illegal to use real strawberries, it’s just impossible if you don’t wan

It does not miss the point.
If it happens the damage is already done and without regulations you can defend yourself by saying "that's what the customer wants".
Also a web of trust won't help (or at least will be slow) if you consider there are big b2b vendors that sell tons of food at a time, you as a customer don't even know where say the meat you buy at a super market came from.

You know, I don't think you should not be able to choose the product you want, but to be able to do so you a) have to know the relevant data which only works if they are printed on the package and are easy to understand and b) it must be assured that the product matches said description.
You simply don't have the choice to say "I don't want ice cream that won't survive eating it over the course of a week" if you don't know which product that applies to or you can't trust the information you have because it is from the same company that produces the stuff.
Here in germany food companys have succesfully blocked a law that simply required to print more information onto the package because they fear an informed customer wouldn't buy their stuff if he knows whats he eats... think about it.

Nice lobbying against regulations, but have you even started to think about the consequences of removing them ?
This might be an example of how the particular regulations are (maybe) not fit for a particular scenario, and maybe they should be adepted.
But the product in question is simply does not match hygiene standards for a product designed to be stored.
I am sure it is fine if served directly by the manufacturer, but as non-pasteurized milk is used and fresh fruit is added it can and will grow dangerous concentrations of bacteria especially fast if transported and stored.

I am not saying you should *trust* regulations, also I don't like overly expensive certification procedures, but without regulations people *will* sell you spoiled food. This *has* happened and lifes are at stake.

Try installing an X-Server if not already done. It sadly won't work without one - which is the last thing one looks if setting up a box thats not supposed to have a monitor attached ^^

Why don't you try out new pools without disconnecting from the current one ? I've tried that and it works well for both windows and linux miners (using rpcminer-cuda and phoenix for two different rigs). Would at least solve the problem of idle machines if something goes wrong while giving you the same data about reliability of the new pool.

duh, double trouble games need to die by design.
if you put money in it after day 3 you're screwed anyway.
but the more games start the bigger the chance to get in early and get some coins.
This is a great chance to make some money ^^ But sometimes you win sometimes you loose, just made 1 BTC off the last one. Get in and be a winner or wait till just before people lose interest in this one and lose your coins.

Yes, the market is crashing.
To ensure the project Bitcoin does not cause further damage just send me your remaining bitcoins @ 1NZLgm99ZnfbGwGaj8Y2Gcs8aDr5gDYXiF so I can use my expert knowledge to securely convert them to electricity again. That way electricity gets a bit cheaper and everybody cuts their losses.

Diese Frage konnte man sich schon immer stellen wenn man sich die Charts so anguckt. Bisher ist Bitcoin immer nur maximal für ein paar Tage leicht gesunken bzw stagniert und dann wieder wie immer im Wert explodiert... Kaufen scheint immer Sinn zu machen

Also I think giant LASERs of death (maybe with that as a part: http://cgi.ebay.de/coherent-laser-diode-donut-100-watt-802-nm-Five-Array-/170645491289?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item27bb438e59 )should sell well as most geeks I know tend to really like my 1w blue LASER pretty much... if it just wasn't that cheaply built -.- already had to replace the lens as it started to melt, replace the switch and use 3 batterys instead of two (no, I didn't fry it with that)

As a shareholder I would like to make money... But I haven't yet made any graphs to compare different investment-scenarios. I would like you to at least compensate the rise of difficulty, but if it eats all the profit that just won't be any good... For now I would say invest as much as you can.

Sure... Facebook... why not some sort of itunes id ? I mean... everyone has at least an ipod... seriously, that kind of approach won't get you anywhere, I don't think anyone here is too keen on giving his personal data to a big company that doesn't deserve your trust...

I don't think there is much truth to that "Bitcoin is only for speculation" stuff anymore... You can already buy pretty much stuff directly in Bitcoin and there is even a way to purchase stuff of amazon. Also stabilizing the BTC/(some currency) idea is something that cannot be done as Bitcoin is just different from normal currency and also is not nessecary as it is within the power of every online shop (offline is not that important right now) to dynamically adjust their prices.
