well… I think I’m safe, as my iMac’s screen is covered by glass! xD

I don’t think the biggest problem you have if you sit all day in an office cramped with computers and people is weird invisible toxic clouds farting out of your monitor. plus, your solution only brings up another problem; if you use older monitors your eyes will get damaged quicker.

Personally, I don’t believe in a toxic cloud that can make you allergic for food’n stuff. That’s just not how the immune system works. It’s much more likely that you et the reactions because you live unhealthy if you sit behind a computer in a cramped office all day, every day.

Of course, if you really want o be on the safe side, because you fear radioactive Radion in the air, weird waves infiltrating your brains from phones, toxic farts from your computer, gnomes under you chair that eat your toes, etc. you probably should stay at home, wear a bio hazard suit and only eat babyfood.

While i love cynical comments, i think this one was a bit over the edge. Don’t be to ignorrant when it comes to issues like this. If no one would ever ask questions, we would still believe, that the catastrophy in Fukuchima was not that bad.

I had no intention of making a cynical post. If you look again about 2/3 of my post are my sincere opinion on the matter. The last 1/3 of the post is just to make clear that I find this shouldn’t be approached too seriously, because there are many things ‘researchers’ say are very dangerous.

one of the top comments tells you how to sync it with the inception trailer music, it really works and is effing epic I wonder whether it’s coincidence… :\

Surely not allowing people to post message in their native tongue is bordering on racism though….?

I don’t see why. If countries are allowed to ban people just because they weren’t born in the EU surely a forum can put a language as a norm. It’s just courteous to post in a language every user of the forum understands. Otherwise you get threds that are only accessible to German people, or Turkish, or Albanian or Chinese for that matter. English is accepted as a world language and actually The language of the internet, so if you want to use cetrtain things on the internet you better adapt.

Yeah, but I don’t understand what good does the Bitcoin mining do to humanity.. What I mean is, normally, in my perception of economy, you produce money by getting payed for a service you do. For example, I produce money by coding a site for X, I pay Y to give me a haircut etc.. what good do the mined Bitcoins do for anyone ?

There are two ways of getting a bitcoin: creating one or earning one.

If you create a bitcoin you need to pay money for the electricity. If you earn one it’s like earning a dollar, but then you earn a bitcoin.

you ask what good they do, and as an example you say you earn X money for your work, you spend Y money on a haircut. But you’re leaving some money out of your equation.

In reality you earn W by working. You pay X amount of this money as taxes. You spend Y on a haircut, from this Z goes to the government.

One thing people don’t like about this is that the government always knows how much money you have/spend/earn.

Bitcoins, however, work like you said above real money works: you earn X and spend Y. No Taxes, nobody can track you.

If Bitcoins do get big (which I don’t hope) we won’t have bankrobbers anymore, but professional Hackers that battle electronically with special Agents that people have to hire privatly, because there’s no bank involved any more. This means that there will be security services where you let the agents acces your computer to protect it from hackers. This is how a modern robbing would go:

Hackers find a flaw in he code; agents have about 5 minutes to find a patch. etc. etc.

No code is flawless!!

at the moment there are two things, both not very design related ^^

- a racing bike - recording equipment

oh, and deign related: a room that I can design myself with an appropriate budget. (500 euros? :D)
