see i don't understand this train of thought. have you never seen a naked body before? why does it bother people to have sex in a proximity to other people, especially when you're in the situation of having a roommate.
He'd be a horrifying sight. Whoever this girl is probably wont, but in the chance he is caught, then I'm pegged for that shit too. Also sucks that he is top bunk.

Dude.
they're going to have sex on your bunk. Especially if it's made.Â

My old roommate fucked a hogbeast in our dorm. I was on the top bunk and he and hogzilla were in the bottom. I felt like I was on a dinghy in a hurricane.

Bitcoins are unique, each one has a complete transaction history of who owned it and what it was used for. However, it is also a virtual currency with on central governing authority.
There is no way to effectively increase/decrease the supply of bitcoins. The amount made by the original coder would have been it, a finite supply that would effectively limit the usefulness and spread of the currency.
So...for every person who runs the bitcoin client, they are entered into a lottery run by one of the central servers, every day I think it generates a lottery number and doles out bitcoins to everyone. This creates a slow and steady rate of inflation and increases the proliferation of bit coins since they never become "too expensive" for someone to own.
So if you want to game the system, just enter the lottery, eventually hit it, and then sell the bitcoins for cash.

this is far too serious a post
Arstechnica and wired did a story on them several months ago, afterward the value of a bit coin skyrocketed to like $15, and later collapsed in a horrific bit coin meltdown. Â I'm not sure what it's at currently. Â

Around $2.80 USD it seems.
I might have to investigate this further.

There aren't many bitcoins left though, I think the vast majority have already been mined. Only early adopters were able to easily get them. If you were to enter now, you'd have to compete against psychopaths who are using dozens of HD5870s for mining :/
are we really seriously discussing bitcoins
really

Since I'm writing a paper on the SOPA and PIPA bills, I figured I could get tons of great articles from around the internet, considering it's a hot topic. Instead, I'm only allowed one "outside source" and am forced to use the stupid academic researcher to affirm myself. I got a total of 48 results. Oh, and half of them are about biology.
GG college.

One Source???
Sounds like a book review. Write an opinion piece about SOPA, if poorly graded publicly berate the TA for being a douche rocket.Â
Did on presentation on previously mentioned paper, woke up late for class this morning, feeling like crap in general.
Enjoying Skyrim then everything goes off. The computer is on and running, but nothing on it is running. No big deal. I reboot. Same issue. The computer is on but not even bios comes on. I try different video cards, combinations of hardware, I have replugged in every component. Sometimes the gpu fan starts high, sometimes not. The cpu fan sometimes doesn't start at all. I'm figuring a dead mobo anyone agree?

there's a computer/technology thread before you enter the general discussion
Askig if people agreed was more rhetorical. It's pretty much an fml moment
