Stargazing.

Also, imagine walking around Boston or New York and having historic sites described to you audibly while an overlay of the way it used to look was displayed.

I agree on a lot of what Fuffle said. It's just another Gizmo to filter life through, and I already feel like cell phones, Facebook, and Twitter are taking their toll on the younger generations and even mine to some extent. With Google Glass just taking that a step further to where you actually wear it, I just can't get excited about it. I just don't see what's so wrong with life now that people feel they need another gadget to "enhance it" or "make it better".

People already annoy me with how often they play with their cell phones in social situations or while standing in line at stores, or while driving, and I can tell you I'll immediately look down on people wearing Google Glass who are obviously paying more attention to their gizmo than the people around them (but most of us already do this with people and their cell phones they can't put down). And I already don't like the idea of people recording me or our interactions without my knowledge. I don't like the "ME ME ME ME" culture that has already been reinforced by Facebook, youtube, twitter e-lebrities, and the rise of smart phones role in this, and how a thing like "life casting" might actually come into existance with a product like this.

Sure, it might have some fun and interesting apps, and don't take my criticisms too negatively. I won't care if other people use them and hell I'd like to try it to see what it's all about, but I don't see myself owning one and I'm certainly not "excited" about it coming out. I had a flip phone until a year ago. I'm not big on "being connected", and prefer to be "disconnected". I sit infront of a computer all day and work and do IT stuff, so I'm not a fan of staring at another one in my free time, nor like the idea of actually wearing one and ALWAYS being connected.

I feel too many people spend too much on the computer, internet, playing games, tweeting, Facebooking, etc, and I see a new device that allows this that you actually wear only exacerbating the problems I have with that culture.

TL;DR: Not for me, not interested in the slightest. Worried about further negative social implications.

Not tired, it just makes me uncomfortable. I appreciate you reading this far.

They're small, so easily disturbed by natural forces, broken/damaged or just missed entirely during excavation.

There was a study a few years back in which they sieved through all the mud that had been excavated from an archaeological site and found hundreds of extra bones (most of them of small animals, or the small bones of larger animals such as heel bones). Unfortunately this process is very time consuming - which also makes it expensive - so is not routine practice unless it is believed a deposit is very likely to contain small bones of great importance.

I had 10BTC quite some time ago that I got for about $3 each, and lost it when the site my wallet was on was "hacked". Now I can't remember the name of the site. It was just a curiosity at the time.

A few months ago, when the mining reward halved, I thought it might be a good idea to get back in, and bought a few dozen through http://coinbase.com at ~$13. That worked out to be a good investment.

I'm uncertain about the future of bitcoin. However, IMO when the Chinese pick it up in earnest, it could get crazy. The ability to move money without government oversight is a real need for a lot of people. For that reason alone I decided it was worth having some.

BTW, I don't think it matters if it is a currency.

EDIT: If you look at blockchain.info, about 70% of the transactions are SatoshiDice. Gambling has been the biggest shot in the arm to Bitcoin yet. However, it's not just SatoshiDice bringing growth.

Bitcoin is nice, but a certain point, I don't see how it can scale. Let's just poke at one of the problems: loss of currency and the ability to inflate. Currently, if I have 100฿ in my wallet and that is lost to technical error (I misplace my USB drive, my computer melts down, etc), it's gone from the system for good. While the blocks were being filled out in the past to generate the initial pool of money, now that it is almost all assigned, they can't "print" more without overwriting blocks that are already owned. On a long enough timeline, bitcoins can only deflate in value and the pool can only shrink, assuming its value against other currencies does not change.

Additionally, I know hacktivists like to hate on any form of central control over a money base. But I was under the impression that all the micromanagement the federal reserve has over printing money and setting lending rates is beneficial to a functional national economy. Bitcoins might work fine for black markets, but what points do they have going for them in a normal economy?

Personally, I think it's a mistake that people judge bitcoin as a currency. I see it as a currency-interacting tool. It can fail at the currency test, and still be valuable.

Predictable ending but that isn't a bad thing! The main issue I had with all seven was suspending my disbelief that we'll find the singularity as a species in under a hundred years. But every story is famously allowed one suspension, and if that was it, no complaints.

I really enjoyed this read. For anyone just getting in on this, here is a link to PART 1

It's fun to read straight through and can be done in a sitting.

Thanks again for sharing this kleinbl00.

DKR is excellent in comparison to superhero comics that came before; Watchmen is just excellent. DKR is kind of "Batman as Clint Eastwood" and it works on that level. Watchmen is kind of "Superheroes as extensions of the Id" and it works on many levels.

I'm not sure he's reading it correctly. It's an evil law passed by hateful fools, but by my read, it seems to pertain to services that relate to the marriage or partnership. That is, I don't think those that passed it would expect it could be used to prevent service at a lunch counter.

Will the Governor sign it?

Easier to discuss if we're talking about the whole thing.
