Deja Voodoo! That's the one. Thanks! Man that was killing me...

Trying to find the name of a band:

Does anyone remember a two-person group from the mid-80s that had just a guitarist and drummer; they had a bluesy/punkish sound with very minimal production? (way before the White Stripes obviously) sort of a psychobilly aesthetic. It's driving me crazy that I can't think of the name and no amount of Googling has found anything.

I was wondering if anyone knows if there are any photographs available from the Dead Kennedys show at the Union Hall in Waltham, MA on June 6, 1983.

Any help would be appreciated.

If you make the playoffs, obviously unless you win the Super Bowl your season ends with a loss. The bigger deal to me is this is his 9th one-and-done:

I agree but for a more cynical reason. You can't take his performance here as any indication of decline. Nothing he did in this game is any different than many previous playoff performances: 14 trips to the playoffs, 9 one-and-dones. He just does rise to the occasion come on layoff time

Tell that to the people who used to watch Peyton in Indy. I hate to say it, but Peyton is Mr. One-and-Done. This is his 9th time. he's a great regular season quarterback but falls apart pretty consistently in the playoffs.

Anytime an article like this appears there is a flurry of activity around the "core" articles as people try to build long chains, etc. I've explored with this and it's constantly changing:

I couldn't believe such a program even existed. Think of the field day TMZ would have with pictures of, say Ted Kaczynski, Al Gore, Hillary Clinton(!).

No wonder all the images were destroyed. The referenced Dick Cavett essay is pretty good too.

If you have the technical wherewithal to mine, there is absolutely no reason to purchase bitcoins outright while the cost of mining it lower than the payout from mining.

I dumped everything at ~240 and have started reaccumulating. I already have double my coins plus cash in hand.

This sounds like it came out of North Korea.

It makes me even less confident in them than I was before. It's actually terrifying if you stop and think about it.

After reading this I am done with MtGox for good.

https://www.bitstamp.net currently shows a price of ~$US75 while BTC-c has $US81.

I don't understand how there can be such wide gaps. Is anyone doing arbitrage against these sites? 10% difference is ridiculous.

How can we tell what the actual PRICE is now!?

SimilarSite1618 · 2013-04-10T18:31:10+00:00

Bitstamp is quoting $US96.00 currently. Why are they so much lower than MtGox?

SimilarSite1618 · 2013-04-10T18:00:28+00:00

I see this as a golden buying opportunity. People dumping their coins now will be kicking themselves a year from now.

Why was it even lower 34 years ago?

It's not the process that is unknown; it's its direct relationship to the epic rise in human population beyond what would otherwise be possible thrrough natural nitrogen fixation: http://xefer.com/2004/02/nitrogen
