Rights & Liberties that Americans have lost under Bush & Obama - gizmoflak

Here's why Bitcoin is the future of money - gizmoflak
[quote]It's easy to dismiss Bitcoin or crypto-currencies as the flailings of a disaffected, semi-anarchist hacker community trying to undermine the system. But you know what?

Bitcoin improvement thread - gizmoflak
a.k.a. How will bitcoin 2.0 be different? I figure I'd pile on the mound of bitcoin threads with my own. The idea of a P2P global anonymous cryptographic currency intrigues the hell out of me, but the more I examine and study bitcoins the more clearly I see that it is doomed to fail. It has...

Why is below par a good thing, but subpar is a bad thing? - gizmoflak
Does "sub" not equate to "below," i.e., "under"? I thought going under par is the ultimate goal. Or are there contexts in which it is desirable to be over par, i.e., "superpar"? Any of you non-subpar posters have insight on this contradiction in terms?...
