Not necessarily, I have a friend that was mining it back in 2008 that managed to buy a TON of gold and silver with it.

That said, he did so to convert it to something of (in his words) "actual value" and he sure as shit didn't 'retire at 40' as reentering the workforce at 60 (probably at Walmart) would have been a bummer. As he put it "Millionaire means millions of dollars, not millions in play-dough"

Like three days ago, that mentioned nothing about the breach

Odder still, the article was basically a takedown of the app, saying it was less about 'safety' and more women trying to suss out if their spouses were cheating on them, and a gross sewing circle pertaining to penile size and bedroom prowess ("blahblahblah is a creep with a small ding-dong who lasts literally 30 seconds, etc, etc"). So one would think that stating the app also had their entire photo ID database leaked would be germane to the nature of the piece.

It seems someone did a real good job making sure mainstream press didn't catch wind of their troubles (are they still outright denying it happened??)

I'm absolutely certain that rounded corners will be the only change in a tenth update...
(I don't know what's more douche-chill inducing and depressing, the comment itself, or the fact it's marked "5, Insightful")

Unfortunately, only three Cinerama screens still exist in the US (I saw Grand Prix at the one in LA. And while the movie was basically a soap opera outside of the racing scenes, those racing scenes were something else)

This is exactly why my nieces (ages 9 and 6) are currently linux users. My sister discovered the 9-year-old took a photo of the 6-year-old au naturel which was automatically uploaded to the cloud, and she bugged

I know that apple is sticking to their story that some 1337 haxOrs combed through millions and millions of accounts to find a couple hundred titty-pics of celebs (with many of the celebs swearing they deleted said pics), but no one is really buying it.

I guarantee there's currently a hot/new rapper that's 100% a yamaha vocaloid who's 'embodied' by some model for videos. Like, I have no doubt about this.

When you currently have actual humans effecting their voices to the point that they sound like vocaloids anyway, because that's the 'hot sound' of the moment, it would make absolutely no sense to not do it. It greatly lowers the cost and simplifies the supply chain to have the same Scandinavian producer who's creating the music, do the vocal performance at the same time, instead of having to find some kid from Atlanta who can actually rap, if the end result is going to sound exactly the same. You can always pay a model with a six-pack and tats to lip-sync the result in videos, while making hard faces. Essentially "being" the rapper, for MUCH less money.

tl;dr Milli Vanilli 2.0

Have a old lenovo tower I've been using as a htpc (my third time ever using that acronym), and both windows and plasma are pains as I have to keep a full-sized keyboard with a little built-in trackball on my coffee table.

I saw the existence of 'bigscreen' plasma, but you couldn't actually -y'know- download it. Just that it was theoretically this thing that theoretically may exist someday (having seen a lot of theoretical linux things die on the vine, my breath remained in-and-out). But once it's out there, I'm first in line (remote support doesn't faze me that much. I mean, it will be nice when there. But in the meantime, I have a little trigger-grip trackball)

That I was getting the "apple is awesome, and would never, ever stoop to the level of un-awesome companies that aren't apple" speech.

Oh wait, it was last week

I would explain it as "low fidelity"

Well, I just got done working at a university, and I think there were a couple...

I was constantly stepping over $300 e-scooters that were left in the middle of the sidewalk because the batteries died and the owners 'didn't feel like dealing' (besides, if they decide they want another, they'll order one from amazon using the credit card their parents pay off). Use whatever other example that pleases you

The 18-24 demo tend to spend money in dumb, frivolous, impulsive ways, and isn't an accurate example of spending as a whole = Forest
Pirating games = Tree

(ps I guess the staff must have been spending 80 hours a week torrenting anime since apparently the students weren't responsible)

Will spend $2500 of mostly their parents' money building a gaming PC, then pirate absolutely every game they play on it. It's a pretty terrible demo to use an indicator of anything. Just saying.

I was about to say... Reporters at the Washington Post should have probably interviewed their own hr dept. The old "copy entire job posting, paste in into margin using 2pt type, and make color white" has guaranteed your resume getting pulled just about everywhere for at least two years.

And when Vista was released, mac people all went "microcrap is trying to be mac-like, how pathetic..."

So essentially, mac has become a rip-off of windows ripping off mac...
