pete_dushenski: you might see more diversity in the new environment but why larger and stronger ?
Adlai: although a medium predator which migrates to a new land where it's the largest predator will find little resistance in becoming a stronger, larger, etc predator (up to a point, but that point will be larger than its current size)
Adlai: simplest known explanation for the observed facts
Adlai: except in the case of australia, where everything gets larger
pete_dushenski: "he proposed the simple explanation that smaller creatures get larger when predation pressure is relaxed (due to the absence of some of the predators of the mainland) and larger creatures become smaller when food resources are limited (due to land area constraints)."

nubbins`: early/often is the way to go
mod6: anyway, it certainly is a goal to support x32. it'll just be in the next release. this has been dragging out too long.
mod6: otherwise that'll be available at a later time.
mod6: for some reason, the only person built it on x32, and it didn't work. and I don't have time to work on that.
mod6: could be tonight, tomorrow on MPEx's birthday at the latest.
mod6: it'd would be cool, when i give you guys a link, if you could pull it down, and build it. (if you have a linux x64 machine, if not, don't bother)
mod6: the release tarball will end up being linked up there. and the containing RELEASE_NOTES.txt file will point to the patch/script tarballs up there just so they're availble individually somewhere.
mod6: danielpbarron: so yeah, some extra instructions up there probably would have helped huh. i'll de-link those later.
mod6: *nod*, yeah i truthfully don't know much about the entire pogo thing.
nubbins`: i got bogged down last night trying to cross-compile arch linux for the pogo. osx is no fun
mod6: anyway, i'm in the process for rolling this release, so part of what I'm doing is putting the scripts required to build (such as auto.sh) on the website for reference.
mod6: danielpbarron: hi, so it looks like you built OpenSSL, BDB and Boost I'm guessing by the look of that log file? Now it looks like you need to compile bitcoin v0.5.3.1

mircea_popescu: well if it's english to spanish it's necessarily not word for word, they use different words en castellan
brendafdez: so, qntra translations seemed cool :P, i atributed them, of course, but i know that's technically not enough
Adlai: there is also no reason why qntra qldn't issue shares for translations

But I couldn't do that, there were times when I would in fact run out of money in the exchanges and had trades which i took at my own risk, and that was a very bad thing.
brendafdez: most arbolitos work for a certain broker, i couldn't do that, I was my own market basically, i had money on btc-e and bitstamp and made there the trades i made with people here otc, like for instance, someone buys 5 btc, i buy 5 btc on bitstamp/btc-e, someone sells 2 btc i sell 2 btc.
