I wouldn't base anything on Butterfly Labs, considering its a well known scam among the Bitcoin community.
I'm curious. I've once seen a review of one of their miners on ArsTechnica and it seemed like it did exactly what it said on the box, with the specs they claimed. Why, or in what way, are they a scam?

The Silk Road closed. So I hear.
It's only been down for a couple of days after the seizure.

They used to be good for buying guns, drugs and whores. No more. :(
Why?

This would have been great in the people doing stupid things thread.
FINE GEEZ.

The match itself was comedy. Man Utd ended up losing to Sunderland on penalties and of the 10 taken, only 3 went in.
Better call the whambulance. HAHAHA, GET IT?

As far as I can tell BitCoin uses the algorithmic mining to control the flow of BitCoins into the market, thus producing a stable and viable currency.
"Stable" is not what I'd call it. Those fluctuations, man.

No, but I don't have to like it.
You don't have to... but why don't you?

But when you actually start following his footsteps and start lecturing people, that's when you turn into /r/atheism.
Would you say it's wrong* for someone to advocate their beliefs and argue for them in public?

* - term deliberately ambiguous

Let it be further noted, on thif day, that wenn fuch noobf doth appear, there fhall be much howleth and cryeth and gesticulateth unto the noob. Fpake fuchlike: Fucking noobs cometh here. But in their heartf they fhall be content. And all shall be good. And all fhall be well.
Crusty, not in the upper fora.

Funny, the local Catholic priests would have me believe that it's us who are The Chosen Nation™.

Also, if Tom is going to be the official spokesperson, could he at least change his avatar? We can't let C. Wayne Holland, DDS of North Carolina unknowingly become the public face of the latest Flat Earth Society splinter group.
He's hit the point where a reverse Google image search of his avatar suggests a text search for "Tom Bishop", and usually finds no references to C. Wayne Holland. It's pretty much his trademark at this point.

We're (the Council) already doing this. Tom agreed to be the one to contact the press, since he's more or less our president. the only reason this site is still going.
Please refrain from being Crusty in the upper fora.

I can't possibly make this whole thing easier to understand and he still doesn't get it, so the conclusion logically follows.
An ad hominem that logically follows (at least in your view - I'm not gonna waste my time discussing that) is still an ad hominem, and it still does not contribute to the conversation. Just don't be that guy.

Did you miss math class or something?
Please, argue against the argument, not the person. Ad hominems are not welcome here.

Send out a press release to talk about the scism in TFES and what that means for the movement.  That sort of thing always gets them going.
I second this. This is probably the best first move we can make.

The police is separate from the government here?  Huh...
At least that's the intention, although I wouldn't necessarily make it a distinction between the police and government.

The Council and forum staff are meant to be entirely separate, and there should ideally be no overlap in our remits, as to avoid conflict. Ultimately, the responsibility of both the Council and forum staff should be to the society/forum members.

Haha the FAQ and the wiki eh? Then what was the council even for? Any muppet can do that.
Well, what did you expect? It has been clear since the beginning of the idea of the Council that forum staff would be in charge of the technical stuff. You seem extremely bitter about very simple facts, and yet you offer no alternative, or anything of use, really.
