You gotta love his attempt at setting his signature as Sr. member...

How long does it usually take for your account on kraken to reach level 2 of verification? 

And this explains how homologus Immunodeficiency viruses exist in various simian and feline species worldwide?  Those evil doctors also created these viruses and limited them to distinct species (ie: Humans cannot become infected with FIV...) why bother?  Also, what techniques did the doctors use to create these viruses?  Molecular cloning was in its infancy before the discovery of PCR.  HTLV-1 was discovered 6 years before this technique.  How could people engineer a new virus without such a critical technique?  Why are there endogenous retrovirus sequences conserved in the genome of every human on earth and those that died years ago if the virus was invented in 1983?  How does a simple name change cover up such a grand conspiracy?  Ultimately the burden of proof is on the claimant.  Your only proof is your anecdote about all doctors lying during their professional careers, and that the name was changed (interestingly this isn't the the only virus that has had its name changed).

Originally when discovered, HIV, was called HTLV-III.  This is unsurprising as it does infect T lymphocytes.  Just like the other HTLV retroviruses.  However, the clinical presentation of infection is distinctly different between these viruses and for clarity it makes sense to change names.

At the risk of feeding a troll, sure they look similar.  Not that surprising when two of the letters in both acronyms stand for the same words

H Human                               H Human
I Immunodeficiency                 T T
V Virus                                  L Lymphocyte
                                           V Virus

My god, that proves it all...

This is com air.  They do not come equipped with any sort of radar warning receiver.  They cannot detect anti air missile launches.  Some airlines have looked into countermeasures against IR based man portable air defense systems but such a system would be useless against a radio guided SAM.  The best the black boxes will show is a loss of hydraulic pressure caused by the missile explosion and the subsequent futile efforts of the flight crew to maintain control for however long the plain remained intact.  

At first I thought this was a partisan hack job, but the more I hear about it, I honestly wonder if they Republicans might be on to something.  It is entirely disturbing to me that the agency that is capable of wrecking your financial life if you do not save proper documentation for something like 7 years relies on a single hard drive to store important communications.  Whether this is pure incompetence of malfeasance, it reeks either way. 

I'm gonna go off topic here, but I would be interested to know the number of posts both dank and vod have where they are responding to each other. Seriously there is a lot of BTC to be had from signature bounties from your interactions.     

The discovery of vulcanization and man made plastics. 

Well often the activists championing the plight of the people in oppressed countries point a finger at those in the western ones as the oppressors responsible for the situation.  To take up that banner would force them to label themselves as an oppressor by nature of being born in a more wealthy country.  This would cause a great deal of mental anguish due to cognitive dissonance.  These individuals have spent years viewing themselves as oppressed by some imagined patriarchy.  To switch caps would simply be too much to ask.     

Well in the US, you could go down the list of multimillionaire MSNBC hosts.  While they denounce each other on the air, you put the Fox and and MSNBC pundits in the same room they will laugh all the way to the same bank.   

Got a source on this?  Would be fascinating to see if there was any evidence.

I'm suspecting the liberal version is what was meant.  Two sides of the same coin and what not.  Being a political shock jock is certainly profitable. 

Seriously, there should be a statement that you agree to when you first open a web browser the first time.  One of the stipulations being, you don't believe anything you read on the rag known as the huffington post.  All they do is publish useless articles with click bait headlines.  

Well I am not sure you are in the US or not, but our Veterans health care service recently had a big scandal where patients may have died waiting for care.  Whether this is Obama's fault or not is debatable.  The VA has had issues for years long before Obama assumed the office.  However, Obama did implement policy changes that may have exacerbated the situation.  Some suspect this swap may have been timed to help bury that news.  If true, it certainly seems to have worked. 

So wait, let me get this straight.  By using bitcoins, I'm actually helping overthrow some alien overlord at the behest of a different alien overlord?  If that is the case, what the hell is the point?  In such a situation wouldn't it be prudent for humanity to just commit mass suicide and screw both aliens over? Further, the fact that they are so advanced that they could engineer us from the apes, would suggest that no matter what we do, we could not overthrow them.  After all, they could just engineer those traits out of humanity.  Why would they use some primitive lab rat as their proxy war?

To all alien overlords out there, I align myself with the insectoids, because bitcoin is a cool idea.  Thanks, and have a good day.   

Without a doubt my favorite part is the @hotmail email address.  Like the UN wouldn't have their own domain and are forced to use hotmail...

What exactly qualifies as a constructive post for the sake of these signature campaigns?

I honestly feel that the rise of silk road was a sign of bitcoins success.  If people/addicts were willing to trade btc for their high of choice, it is a sign that bitcoin works as a currency.  Even if the seller then converted to USD, bitcoin filled one of its primary purposes.  It was used as a cheap, decentralized means of exchange out of the control of a government or financial entity.  Hopefully in the future, we can reach a point where there is some stability in the price of bitcoin vs major fiat currencies, and people will feel more comfortable storing value as bitcoins just like they do with any other store of value (precious metals, currencies, equities).

There are some minecraft servers that give out token amounts of BTC for each block mined.  It isn't much but better than nothing is suppose.

When I had my rigs on X11 I noticed about 30% less power usage with under volting.  Now, I am not sure if that is inherent to the hashing algorithm, or that mining software is just poorly optimized.  That being said, the list power consumption of that rig is 1260 watts.  At 30% savings that is 756 watts.  Theoretically an 850 watt power supply should be enough.  Although you would probably not have enough pci power connectors and would have to use molex converters.  If it was me, I would buy a 1500 watt PSU or two 850 watters and jump the second one and be done with it.  That way, if you decide to mine a different algorithm, or the miners become better optimized you will be covered.  Secondly, there is no substitute for a quality power supply.  Go big or go home.  Make sure you buy a reputable brand.  There is no reason to play Russian roulette with your hardware to save a few bucks on your PSU.
