  • Bitcoin Genesis Block Secrets Explained by Satoshi Nakamoto!!!

  • Why Aren’t Black Folk Using Bitcoin?

    http://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2015/01/why-are-so-few-black-people-using-bitcoin/384268/

    I would advise any poor folk not to invest in Bitcoin at the moment. Just be open to it when it does become the norm. The reason blacks won’t use digital currency is because, let’s face it, the poor ones, and it’s not just blacks, but poor people are hoarders and they need to have something tangible that they perceive to be of value. Bitcoin, by the nature of its inception, is nothingness. But it’s value is based on the same damn value that all fiat currency has. You still need to go to work, feed your kids, feed your neighbors, fix your car, etc. The only difference now is that you’d be using Bitcoin.

    Again, if you can’t live exclusively off of Bitcoin right away, don’t put your local currency into it. Tell them Satoshi Nakamoto said “Don’t be stupid.” When the time is right, you won’t even notice.

  • CIA Deletes Emails or Is It Cheaper Than That?

    http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/11/19/cia-destroy-emails_n_6184810.html

    So The National Archives grants the CIA permission to delete their emails. Apparently, the CIA is only deleting the emails of employees who aren’t that important or have left the job for more than 3 years. They’ll only keep the emails from the senior officers, the ones who make the big decisions. That’s not real intelligent, me thinks. It may be a cover-up, or it could just be that even the CIA run out of server space. That can be perceived in two ways: CIA may not be a bad-ass as people think, because now the curtain is pulled back revealing there is a limitation to their resources, OR, they’re covering shit up, since emails are so fucking small. You could fit the entire Library of Congress on a single hard-drive, why couldn’t you fit hundreds of thousands of years worth of emails and communications into a single server? CIA’s full of shit?

  • Lulu.com Rolling Out AdSense Ads for Jackpot Bloom, But With A Twist

    What the hell, Lulu.com?!!

    Jackpot Bloom is paired with a man in speedo? It’s a kid’s book. I haven’t been looking at any gay porn. And that dude in the speedo doesn’t look like a graphic novel either. Wouldn’t Jackpot Bloom be paired with other graphic novels? SMDH, Lulu.com.

  • How We Came To Be

    http://youtu.be/V_DT-mg_3IA

    OMG. I just realized how we came into existence. Watch that Sony gimmicky 4K ice bubble video and then you’ll realize how, if you have any inclination about physics and nature and chaos. In science, the laws of the universe are, well, UNIVERSAL. Therefore, whatever phenomenon you witness on Earth MUST be the same as it is on Mars, in the Milky Way, in a black hole, in the sun, etc. It should all be the same.

    So watching that bubble freeze in high-speed video (I don’t know if it’s computer-generated or not, it might as well be, but that would defeat the purpose of Sony selling their cameras too not just their TVs). Anyway, the bubble froze into what resembled our Earth. Ain’t that a trip?

    So we came to be because the Earth was some random bubble in space and froze. But it doesn’t pop like these bubbles because it’s so big and in it contained dirt and bacteria and other randomly evolving cosmos space dust. And then our ancient ancestors climbed out that boiling water ooze soon after.

    Whoa!!!

  • President Obama Says Intelligence Community Sucks Balls

    http://www.examiner.com/article/president-obama-throws-the-intelligence-community-under-the-bus-over-isis

    Obviously. I don’t have to put up with the intelligence community’s harassment and bullshit either. Just because you work for a company with the word “intelligent” in it, doesn’t make you intelligent. And Obama criticizing how suck-ass you are gives you no excuse to assassinate him either.

    As I’ve stated before, I’ll state it again, CIA/FBI/police etc ain’t nothing but a job. It’s real people. People with flaws: they’re corrupt, racist, stupid, ignorant, jealous, etc. And they’re suppose to make the big decisions for “us all”. SMDH.

    Be of sound mind before you take the leap into the lavish world of national security. Not some loser coward who thinks a gun or killing kids will solve the world’s problems.

  • Flash Photography For Selfies

    As I learn, flash photography makes you look more masculine because the light is so hot. It creates very deep and sharp shadows. I had to pull them out with Photoshop, but that’s how it’s done. It emphasizes a man’s jawline. LOL. However, it’s hard to keep your eyes open with the flash and look natural. Oh well, Halloween’s coming up. Here’s my Svengali look. LOL.

  • Additional Warp Fix on Auto Warp Distortion Selfies

    If you’re using a smart phone’s camera, you have to be wary that because of the size of the camera lens, you’re going to get a lot of distortion. Instagram doesn’t let you fix that.

    Before: Auto Warp Distortion
    Before: Auto Warp Distortion
    After: Adjusted in Photoshop CS2
    After: Adjusted in Photoshop CS2

    So I had to use a combination of Spherize and Warp tools in Photoshop CS2 to get it looking somewhat like me. I know I’m not that pudgy. The ideal is to match how your eyes see yourself in the mirror.

    I know after tinkering with it in Photoshop, it made my forehead longer, but it looks closer to reality at least.

  • Bitcoin Value Spikes With Announcement of PayPal Partnership

    http://www.coindesk.com/bitcoin-price-surges-positive-paypal-news/

    Not cool. So, uh, it went from a measly USD$390 to $450. Big whoop. I still lost money in the game. Report something when the Bitcoin is back over $670. SMDH.

  • Luddite Writes Article Tooting Horn of Kid Genius Outsmarting NSA

    http://www.wired.com/2014/09/new-encrypted-chat-program-thwarts-nsa-eliminating-metadata/

    If there’s one thing I hate, it’s when my privacy is invaded. But there’s something else I hate: hypocrisy.

    According to this Wired article, a middle school drop-out has “outsmarted” the NSA’s surveillance of chats and emails. To mention that he dropped out of middle school at the age of 13 implies that he’s somekind of genius and not some spoiled rich kid who had a big advantage in life. I’m sure he’s lacking in social skills and other stuff. He actually started writing his program when he was 18, he is now 22. I hate this stereotype of young teenagers being smart at technology. It’s technology industry’s propaganda to get young kids to become their slaves. Much like how Doogie Howser tricked kids to become doctors who eventually went on to star in Broadway plays. Go figure.

    But he’s basing his software on an existing IP masking software called TOR. Which has been proven to be breakable.

    I’m not too savvy on that shit, but I’m not a complete luddite either.

    As long as you can follow that transmission, you will be able to find out where it’s coming from. Who cares if you change the binary data. That shit still has to go through a line or airspace. And when it does, it can be intercepted.

    I’m just trying to be practical about it.

    1. Consider that your rights and privacy are completely compromised.

    2. You can be stupid and TOR all your communications and encrypt all your emails and all that shit, but that’s just not practical.

    3. Just go about your day and keep doing what you’re doing. Those losers at the NSA, CIA, FBI, police, etc., can continue to harass and abuse you, but like many bullies, if you ignore them, they’ll soon disappear.

    But unless you can really make the shit hit the fan and expose which federal scum are harassing you, completely out or blow their covers and make them lose their jobs, then don’t bother engaging them. Karma has a way of bringing justice.

    If anything, America will fall because of these federal agents’ stupidity. You can trust me on that.
