    Terra Nova - Dinosaurs, time travel, and that crazy Colonel from Avatar... Oh my!

    They should remake Jurassic Park but without changing anything.

    WWII in photos

    Also Australia was about one island naval base away from being invaded by Japan. Considering that most of their army got chewed up at the start of the war, they weren't in a good situation to fight a home front war. Luckily for them, their country is giant and barren. Unlucky for them is that...

    So Google+ is out

    The annoying thing is that I get reminded of everything twice on my email account. First I get an email about everyone that adds me, then I get a little red number up in the corner reminding me of the exact same thing. Since the email is on google's platform anyways, could they not just cut it...

    The perils of Dating when you're a Magic the Gathering World Champoin

    Also, she went on a private date and made it public in bad taste. This forum did not have any kind of private contact with her. Everything said here was already in the public realm.

    The perils of Dating when you're a Magic the Gathering World Champoin

    The preface was added after the article got its initial backlash. Expect it to be edited in the next few days to take away some of the personal attacks, links, bad grammar, and general bitchiness. Are you a blogger "Yes." Strike one. What do you blog about "Technology and gadgets" Strike two...

    Does anybody here actually have bitcoins?

    The Wire

    Certainly just by looks, Kenard looks more like Marlow and also has less emotions. Randy is more like Avon.

    Bitcoin mining

    1) The CPU power is used to crunch hashes that verify transactions on the network. Basically your computer adds to other computers doing CPU work that makes it very CPU intensive for someone else to defraud the network. 2) This question doesn't make sense. As best as I can tell you are asking...

    The Wire

    I wasn't talking about the characters, but how the young kids all kind of took over the place of one of the older characters. I just thought that was a bit hammy the way they montaged it. Kind of like saying "hey everyone look how subtle we are being!" The point was already made by then and it...

    Bitcoin mining

    The difference between Bitcoins and WOW money is that bitcoins are inherently secure (assuming you don't get hacked) and won't suddenly disappear. Blizzard could flood the market with WOW gold or delete all the gold in existence if they felt like it. They could also return stolen gold to...

    Bitcoin mining

    You could basically say the same thing about gold. All of the easily mined gold was discovered thousands of years ago. It's still mined and used as a commodity today.

    Films: Rate and Discuss

    Unknown 3/10 Saw it on the airplane. Like a bad mashup of Bourne Identity and The Fugitive. Liam Neeson could be replaced with a brick for all the emotion he gives in this movie. The story could be good, but the writing and acting completely sunk it.

    The Wire

    What about Bubbles? My favourite, I think most people liked him. The end of the last season I thought was a bit cliche. It basically was about how nothing has changed in the end.

    Bitcoin mining

    It's basically just a protocal for secure decentralized transactions. So there is no central authority like your bank or Paypal that has to monitor and verify each transaction. It's basically a way to handle digital currency reliably so that nobody can steal or make up money. The money enters...

    Bugaboo Park: coolest place on earth!

    Also if you are looking for a diet and exercise plan. I can strongly recommend hiking and climbing all week on short rations. We guestimated our food and came up a little bit short on the last few days. My last two meals were rice and pasta thickened with mashed potatoes and flavoured with...

    Bugaboo Park: coolest place on earth!

    I think a bugaboo is a kind of boogeyman or little demon. It's come to mean any little problem or fear that you have. The miners named the valley Bugaboo, but the spire was named such because of that gendarme (rock pinnacle) in the middle of the seventh photo. It took the original climbers...

    Bugaboo Park: coolest place on earth!

    There really is no story. I had a week of vacation time and took a flight out for the sole purpose of visiting Bugaboo Provincial Park and climbing the awesome towers of granite there.

    Bugaboo Park: coolest place on earth!

    So I climbed some spires in British Columbia and wanted to make you all jealous. That is all.
