RE: HELP NEEDED: How Can U.S. Residents Exchange HIVE or HBD for USD or Bitcoin?

To buy or sell hive I do it by trading for swap.ltc in hive engine and then transferring it to somewhere like coinbase where you can do what you want with it. It works in reverse too. Trasfer litecoin

RE: Lithium batteries exploding or getting really hot

I have had a couple of batteries, one in a phone and one in a tablet, swell up on me in the past. It also happened to a work laptop once. None actually exploded though.

RE: The AI Bubble

I think there is a valid comparison between the internet and AI. For instance, both are general purpose technologies. There was the .com crash but this wasnt really an Internet bubble. Internet usage itself

RE: I do not care about the midterm elections

"looks and talks like he would find your wallet and then not return it to you." You just described almost every politician.

RE: [TV] The X-Files (1993)

I watched the X-Files when it originally aired and it remains one of my all time favorites. I didn't think the later few seasons were as good as the earlier ones but they were still enjoyable. There is

RE: Saw a friend who rarely drinks, and I think he should stop altogether.

I dont drink that often and 90% of the time i do its only a beer or glass of wine or two. Rarely do I get drunk...a few times a year maybe...but im lucky in that it doesn't really affect me like that.

RE: How Is Your Crypto Off Ramp Looking?

The 37% for the U.S. is a little misleading. There is no special crypto tax. Generally, if you sell/convert crypto then you are paying capital gains taxes which can be anywhere between 0% and 37% depending

RE: Distributed processing for solving problems, not profit

BOINC is still around and supports a variety of projects including Einstein@home (search for neutron stars using gravitational waves), World Community Grid (search for the cure for cancer and other diseases),

RE: Getting minor food poisoning is just a regular part of life over here

Most food poisoning tends to come from vegetables that have been contaminated with poop. Unfortunately, rinsing doesnt helpnall that much.

RE: Digital Archaeology: Fujitsu LifeBook N6420

I have tons of computing devices from early android tablets and iphones, to PCs of every generation and even a Commodore 64.. I dont really see computing as monolithic or im not sure what you mean by that.

RE: The Return Of The Living Dead Is One Of The Greatest Horror Comedies Of The 1980s. Dan O’Bannon’s 1985 Cult Classic Delivers Punk Rock Attitude, Outrageous Humor, And Some Of The Most Memorable Zombies In Horror Movie History.

I loved this one and the first sequel. I think the others that came after were pretty forgettable though.

The U.S. is a net exporter of diesel so this deal (which amounts to a license to import from a U.S. perspective) is unlikely to actually result in any direct imports to the U.S. On the other hand, Europe

RE: LOG_001 : The Crypto Ghost Protocol - Financial privacy is dead. Here is why

You can easily have a bitcoin (or other) crypto wallet not tied to an ID. What you cant do without an ID is convert to fiat or use a centralized exchange. I dont think that was the dream of bitcoin anyway.

RE: Digital Archaeology: Fujitsu LifeBook N6420

I've used a tablet form time to time but I find that either my phone is sufficient or I would prefer to have a laptop (or desktop if I don't need the portability). If I'm going to carry a laptop, then

RE: Digital Archaeology: Fujitsu LifeBook N6420

With ultraportables it seemed like you were always paying more for less not only in terms of size, but in terms of power. I figure if it fits in a backpack its portable enough for me. I would rather have

RE: The Shining: By Steven King

I remember reading The Eyes of the Dragon (or something like that) many years ago. It was a fantasy book that King wrote. I liked it at the time but it's been so long I don't remember it now, lol. I think

RE: Maximum PC (April 2006)

There really aren't any major PC magazines (or video game magazines) published in print in the U.S. anymore. Victims of the Internet.

RE: THE FAILED EXECUTION OF CHRISTA PIKE

I'm generally against the death penalty provided that people who commit horrific crimes like this are behind bars with no possibility of getting out. It's not just about punishment but also protecting

RE: Scream Is One Of The Greatest Horror Movies Of The 1990s. Wes Craven’s 1996 Classic Mixes Genuine Suspense, Dark Comedy And A Clever Take On Slasher Movie Clichés To Create A Film That Helped Revive The Horror Genre.

Yet I am still disappointed Drew Barrymore didnt have a larger role.
