I was mining Litecoins this morning and even though my computer was relatively quiet (mining with GPU) compared to fans at 100%, etc, it was still painfully slow. When I hovered over a link it would take a second to change colors. Literally a second. The user would probably notice that too. Though it wasn't laggy when I was mining Bitcoins so...who knows.

My point of posting that was to show how much bitcoins are worth. Of course the "important aspect" is how much value they retain, how do you think I came up with 266 BTC?! And of course BTC value is on the rise, with bitcoins being harder to mine everyday, with that 21,000,000 bitcoins upward limit. If it were " 26.6 trillion deca-nano" bitcoins stolen, I'd say that right?! But no, I said 266 with the presumed decimal point after the second "6", that everyone else seemed to understand. I also said "approximately" because the value is not exact, and this number changes every second of every hour of every day, etc, etc. Your post was absolutely pointless and you shouldn't have even bothered posting it, you typing it and me replying to it is just a waste of time for the both of us, no offense...

So most of the people working at Walmart aren't supporting a family and are getting economic aid from their parents? Or McDonalds? Bullshit. When a company doesn't pay its workers enough they can't even afford to buy products at their own workplace, it damages local economy as well as on the big scale. Think about it. Economic growth is when people are spending money. That's what the 1920's were like. When there is a recession not many people are spending money and most are just sitting on it, waiting for something to happen. People spending makes businesses want and need to expand to make more products, thus economic growth. Not to mention the people at the top are walking away with billions when their workers can't even afford to feed their own family.

The resolution part depends on the film, obviously. I know Kodak Tmax has smaller grains than "regular film" so it has higher effective resolution. "Standard" film will get you to about 24 MP if I've done my research correctly. At this point I think it boils down to the scanner if you plan to scan prints or negatives. ;)

A Car is not built so it can kill people. Firearms are. But ok, you want to compare guns to cars? Fine. Let's treat all guns just as we do cars: mandatory test before being allowed to use one, yearly registration (including fees), you'll have to get your gunner's license renewed every few years, and if you're carrying and acting in any way suspicious, a cop may give you a gun-side sobriety test. Also, you must have your gun registration and insurance (that's right, you'll need liability insurance) with you at all times.
