I remeber them doing this with Galileo flown in to jupiter. Mixed sadness and pure impressiveness. However there was some talk that it might have caused a nuclear explosion on Jupiter as Galileo had 2 two radioisotope thermoelectric generators. This explision then could have started a chain reaction as jupiters contains high amounts of tritium and deuterium.

Check out Monero, Tech wise interesting from a privacy point of view.

You are right the web is tracked so even if Monero itself has untraceable transactions, buying Xmr generally requires an exchange which in turn kyc.

Not out the box,

To make use of Segwit wallet software must upgrade to support it, that is a lot of work for Wallets Devs that generally are not getting paid for their work.

It is arriving as a soft fork to get round cores instances that hard forks cannot happen (even tho other cryptos have done it. Eth/XMR). The soft fork is not backwards compatible and bits exchanged by segwit will only be protected by segwit enabled nodes but in fairness with a 95% activation threshold that will be 95% of the network.

We have a number of mining pools now stating that they will not run segwit without a hard fork for a block size increase, the est hashrate is 10-15% that will refuse to run it, this will either mean core need to change their 95% requirement OR simply say no block size increase and no segwit.

Personally and sadly if bitcoin cannot grow past its current limits, I do not believe it will keep its first mover position.

Just seems insane that something that was marked as a global payment network is limited in its size. It is like limiting BGP routing tables to a size and saying "only certain people can play", and if you want to play, just pay more.

This is one of the best series around

There are 3 seasons, they might be torrent-able, I am not admitting anything :/

I got me an AppleTV Gen2 and I love it. Even actively looking for more Gen2s but they are rather expensive now.

The Gen2 could be rooted, and XMBC installed with Addons. It offers a great interface, stylish hardware and using XMBC I can link the apple TV directly to my home Nas and stream media from that. Something I never liked about the appleTV was being locked in to only being allowed media in the 'apple approved way' hence the rooting.

I have a few android boxes but they are just not as tidy

Does not really relate to the post just a random overshare

I been looking at this for years just so I can finally finish the game as the copy I have has the last level bug where you cannot keep the doctors happy and they all leave.

That being said I think I been watching it for 10 years :/

Interesting reaction many are having,

I think its pretty clear on the world stage that Russia had involvement in this, either it was supplying the weapons or worse case is was Russia's 'Moderate rebels' that did it. Which seem to be how first world powers these days get what they want without putting their name on it

The fact Russia Vetoed a UN investigation and Putin has stated a few times when asked that it would be a waste of time to do an investigation sends a clear and strong message.

The interesting thing to me, is why it has come out now? the US propaganda machine is in over drive lately. US has spent years funneling 'moderate' rebels towards Syria, while using ISIS as the poster kids for more draconian surveillance and not really doing anything about them.

I mean its pretty clear right? US(cia) created the environment that allowed ISIS to grow and then used them to push forward their international agenda (removal of Assad (before that Iraq/Afghanistan destabilization ready for a US friendly government to be installed)) and domestic agenda (removal of rights for the 'greater' good).

Just this week we have the US stating they are stopping training 'moderate' rebels (I quote as I do not believe there are ever moderate rebels) but then proceeds to sell Saudi Arabia missiles that TODAY Saudi Arabia have given to the 'moderate' Rebels.

We see. Luckily we live in interested times, and the internet has made it so we can see more of the world stage without local filtering (newspapers/local new) interesting times indeed.

TL:DR: Russia's moderate rebels most likely shot the plan down, Russia knows this stalls investigation. Then a bit of a rant of, Why this has come out now

Hey thanks for the reply

I don't pretend to be an expert but I had done googling before but cannot locate the information I was looking for. Yes water levels raised ,again I think that was very common information, but I wanted more of an understanding what specific areas of the world went under water (as in land that was submerged). The current body of information that I have read is very generic where I am much more interested in localized water levels aligned with older civilizations and this is the information that I do not believe is easily accessible. I have been on that wiki link a few times but it is very generic.

And I am very aware that photos above would not assist, however I as thinking more ground penetrating radar enabled drones. Mixed with automated cave exploring bots could start to provide information from under ground on their own. Send them off in to a cave and wait for them to map and come back. We are getting to the stage where we can build these automated exploring bots, I am just waiting. No more waiting on cavers, we can build bots to map these things ourselves

I was of the understanding that a flood about 7k years ago did happen and that was pretty accepted.

We have the Mayans, bible, and number of flood 'myths' stories. I also believe that there is rock sediment that also backs up this claim that there was heavy flooding around this time frame.

However this does not appear to be global flooding because the Egyptian who have a good documented history never bring it up and I really feel they would have.

My guess is that this flood was when low level lands got submerged, thinking the med base here (which I think lines up with the bible of things well) and low level South America which would line up with the Mayans creation stories. This would also back up my idea that most of civilizations over time have built near water and this is why I believe most of the impressive civilizations will be underwater now as the water levels have been raising. (personally very excited about some of the stuff we are finding underwater these days)

The issue is there is so little research on water levels, and most of the documented stuff is from the coast of the USA rather than a global effort to document it. Keep hoping that someone will build some drones that can just fly around and measure this stuff
