Well, even if the price doesn't go up you may be able to increase your original investment with a DRIP. BTC don't give dividends.

They are not scared of homosexuals, but of homosexuality. It represents a threat to set values and a set way of living to certain individuals. If it wasn't considered a threat to those values, why suppress it? It's homophobia.

I hope that most people would say the same thing as seivan in a face-to-face conversation. I know I would.

Quite simply, they thought it would be too hard for me. I don't actually program for a living (yet?), although I do work in a related field where programming knowledge is useful.

So perhaps there was something to it, but I still enjoy programming so I'm going to continue with it as a hobby.

No, in fact they actively discouraged me from pursuing an interest in programming.

A CPU will be better off mining Vertcoin in the long-term, as it uses what they call Adaptive N-Factor scrypt algorithm, meaning that RAM becomes more important over time than raw processing power.

That, of course, is assuming that they have equal value, which clearly they don't.

Also, as it's still a new coin with less take-up than Doge you may be able to 'get in on the ground floor', so to speak, but it's less likely to soar in price in my opinion.

I find that much less readable than S-expressions. Well-formatted S-expressions actually make it pretty fast for me to find what I'm looking for in code, probably faster than in C-like languages - and I mostly use languages which are more-or-less C-like.

I thought that your GP did hold your full medical history. I did some work doing data entry for a GP, and most patients had their full medical history on file at the surgery - in both physical and digitised form for the majority.

On the Dogecoin subreddit, people have been arguing that Bitcoin is gold, Litecoin silver, and Dogecoin is money.

Another adjective springs to mind, also beginning with "P-A"...

It is indeed still awful. I know someone who works in Magento and they frequently come to me with genuine WTF bits of code. Added functionality would be a nightmare.

A rewrite is sorely needed, and will help developers who have to work with and on Magento to save their bosses time and money.

I think masters of great works are pretty well-recognised in Japan. Matsuo Basho, for instance.

I have to admit I don't see the difference between what Udacity are doing in this particular course and what Open University has been doing for years.
