I'm not up on some of this stuff that is probably another facebook gag, and I would not touch facebook with someone else's computer on the end of a 10 foot pole. I was thinking that this flash drive contains some pirated software though, like a Windows installer or something, but reading the docs on that webpage, no one would know what was on it, so what is the point. And for $100 you can nearly buy a retail version of Windows 10 (I think). I recall seeing it at Walmart for $129 a year ago. Not that it matters, I'll stick with Windows XP and even Win98. I use both. Everytime I have to use the WIn 10 computers at the local library, I have to ask WHY? I can do the same things in XP with a lot less bloat, less CPU power, less hassle, and less much less tracking. Anyhow, I can only think that this item is a joke. But it should have been posted on April 1. Ebay dont seen to care about prices. As long as an item fits their terms of service, it's listed. (sensible or not). |

It is something to exchange money on the internet. A few years back they were not very expensive, but the value keeps going up. |

I've got an old eBay listing on my wall at work, for two "Les Paul" oil- paper capacitors for buy-it-now price of $145. These are the huge ones about a half-inch diameter with color stripes. I don't even know how the seller determined they were Les Paul capacitors, but that apparently made them VERY special! Jon |

Not trying to give you a hard time, but where have you been for the last decade? Bit coin is a digital currency backed by nothing but what others will pay for it. While it has no real basis for its value, it is the same as other investments like art or gold, worth what someone will give you for it. Bitcoin has been significant in the news for some time now being reported as used as payment for criminal activity and of more importance to users, one bitcoin exchange which was supposedly hacked loosing some millions of dollars worth of currency with no way to trace it... which I found odd since they can track bitcoin. That's also why it's odd that it would be used for criminal actions, it is traceable! Whatever. I'm happy with the folding stuff. -- Rick C |

Like every other currency. Currency has value because of the real stuff you can buy with it. You can buy real stuff with it, because the seller accepts its value, because they can buy stuff with it. Exactly the same is true with bitcoins, but unlike cash, no physical artefact needs to cross a border. > it would be used for criminal actions, it is traceable! The bitcoins are traceable, but the owner is not. Like cash. |

The secret to long life is to never waste energy resisting temptation. The high prices are not an accident, robotic anomaly, or conspiracy. You can sort almost any popular item by price (high price first) and see many absurdly high prices. This should explain some of it: <https://www.reddit.com/r/explainlikeimfive/comments/2ffyhe/eli5why_do_some_normal_items_sell_on_ebay_at/ck933dw/> There are other reasons, such as money laundering, price-bots gone insane, and putting a temporary hold on sales, without dropping the listing, while the owner goes on vacation. I did the last one once (and only once) when I had some test equipment for sale that I didn't want to relist. So, I priced several items at 10x what they're worth and left the area. When I returned, I discovered that someone had "bought" one of my overpriced items. It wasn't difficult to cancel the sale, especially since the buyer was shopping with a stolen credit card number. -- Jeff Liebermann jeffl@cruzio.com 150 Felker St #D http://www.LearnByDestroying.com Santa Cruz CA 95060 http://802.11junk.com Skype: JeffLiebermann AE6KS 831-336-2558 |

There is long term growth in the value of bit coin, which is not required for it to be useful. That's not to say there aren't scammers out there to use bit coin in some way that will rip you off, but you don't need bit coin for that to happen. But because there is nothing to set a value on bit coin, the value can go up and down with events that cast it in a good or poor light. -- Rick C |

He's replacing a 5 watt 0.1 ohm resistor in an amplifier. The problem is that the original had 2 watt resistors inside a 5 watt body. I.e., cheap counterfeits.
