I think I made 1.5 cents in the past hour, which would work out to 10-11 $ / month.

I remember in the late 90s shopping for an apartment. This was when dial-up and faxes were still a thing. I visited one complex that was very proud of having 4 phone lines per apartment. Not 4 connectors, 4 separate lines.

OK, my USB Block Erupter arrived. I googled some instructions, and was up and running in 10 minutes.

I am getting roughly the promised/expected 360 MHash/s.

My reward level presently is 0.00031920 BTC. Will update tomorrow to see how many it generates in a day.

If you want to try mining litecoin, this card is $15 after rebate, and can mine decently. I would guesstimate 0.04LTC / day, which is $1.4/day at current prices, pay for itself in a month. Eletricity is not included.

I was there when Cousins got into Sunday's game.
Me: Oh look, Cousins. Guess they've given up.
Brother: C'mon, he's a good QB. Maybe he'll give them a spark.
Me: He's not that good.

I've heard decent things about it. As I understand it, it just uses your existing broadband. Never used it, but if you sign up, let me know. I've got to find something next summer once our Time Warner bundle deal ends.

Went to DC for the weekend, which means a lot of mobile usage for me. It mostly worked well, I was able to watch UNC play basketball while I was going up 95, surf the web, keep up with fantasy and sports scores, etc. Data coverage was spotty at times, though. Part of the problem being that to keep ...
