Comment Oddly successful investment (Score 1) 43

I bought $1000USD of Doge back when it took 12 of them to make a single penny just to have fun with on IRC. We set up a doge wallet bot and used tipping in Doge as a way to encourage productive/constructive comments and contributions to our little channel, as well as educating people about crypto. I ended up giving away at least half of the Doges to various channel dwellers just for the fun of it. (Using random soaks & tips of 100 doge here & there.)

Fast forward to now it's around .13c per doge and the coin I so liberally threw around like confetti actually has some value. It feels really good to have contributed in a positive way to crypto-currency awareness and to see those contributions actually have value.

I still have quite a bit of Doge left and it has oddly turned out to be one of the most entertaining & enjoyable successful investments I've made.

TO THE MOON!

Oh, a choice to spend $1,500 now, develop a killer application for it, and know that it'll sell when it's available for the general public because you've been the first with that idea. I mean, there was a first "Flappy Bird", and everything that has come after it are just pathetic clones of an original idea. (Or better clones, if you will.) Be the first, make the best, and rule. I would say my idea for a Google Glass app, but I'm keeping that to myself. :) P

Comment Nanny State. (Score 1) 366

I swear we're living in a dammed nanny state here. People can't politely ask people on a plane (where the ambient noise is 90db+ anyway) to keep it down, but would rather go whining for Congress to make a Law about it? We've been lied to all these years about why we're supposed to have cell phones off during flight, and if cell phones actually caused problems you'd have found flights with lots of Al-Quaida on them leaving their cell phones on... finally get rid of the lies, and people want to cling to their nanny's skirts. Get a life people, and grow a pair!

Shooter leaves the theatre, and then comes back a few minutes later. Couldn't he have, I don't know, sat somewhere ELSE if he was afraid for his life enough to kill over? Yeah, the shooting wasn't warranted. He could have left and got his money back and this happened during the previews not the movie itself. Still strong enough reason to kill somebody?

USE VERSION CONTROL!!!!

The choices are legion. What you are doing is not a choice.

Pick a version control system and your life will be much easier (after the learning curve).

I think this story can be closed with this post right here. Version Control, end of story. P

Speaking as someone living in Hawthorne, it's really not so bad here in some neighborhoods. He could live in Playa del Rey and have a view of the ocean, or in a condo in Marina del Rey, and have an uninterrupted view of everything, including ocean. Honestly though, he should just learn how to fly a helicopter. SpaceX is located at an airport afterall. D
