Bingo. I know a few algorithmic position traders.... and it's got sweet nothing to do with high-frequency, or even day-trades usually. They have their algorithms, software they've developed to handle analysis, and get them in and out acco

I don't recall ever being involved in any project that didn't have risks, and where someone predicted problems - and occasionally the wrong decision is made and they end up right. Especially in RF.

You just said something really interesting in there...... that perhaps it would be building the next geo-tagging-social network. That's the problem - assuming the readers are techies.... if I suddenly had my FU money - the last thing I'd

Bingo - time, your time, is the one thing you can't buy more of later. Having money makes you realize you actually didn't need as much of it as you thought you did.

Using the term loosely (some of my friends would consider me someone with "FU" money - but I'm not in the "go out and buy a porsche for every day of the week cause I like it" territory") 1) I view money differently than I did before. Not b

What particular aspect of that bothers you?

Copies of copies wouldn't count..... just direct infringements.. and why shouldn't the penalties be more in line with digital broadcasting without paying up? IT's almost the same thing.

There is a distinct legal difference between performance of a work and copying.... if you were recording the thing at the bar and then distributing copies - it would be the latter. The point the judge is making here is more like "Hey - in

Does it? The amount of active ingrdient in your normal coca leaf (which is all tea is) is miniscule - you need hundreds of pounds to make a gram of cocaine. You could suck back 100 bags of tea and soak them all you want and not even come c

You think it's pretty solid - but it may not be. Computers are fast these days - passwords even loosely based on real words and common substitutions can be brute-forced - so not saying your system is bad (it's probably what most of us do,

One take-away from this is this, though: When it comes to patents - the fact that your software is non-commercial, or that you invented it independently without knowing about the patents does not matter. Unless you can prove you created the

Did someone just chuck up that page to get some SEO juice out of all this buzz?

You would have exactly the same issue when applying CSS sprites... the only difference here is including the image data in the CSS file rather than a separate sprite file - removing the need for another HTTP request.

I was going to write a big long explanation - but if you don't like investing in stocks - then DONT. Put your cash in the bank, maybe a few currencies (long term, I don't mean currency trading) - and different banks, possibly some offshor

How about neither - there can always be a retrial and/or appeal and/or exoneration by other means.

The freedom of the press is the freedom to publish. That has very little to do with the methods used to gather the information in the first place, or the type of information gathered. Freedom of the press is a subset and clarification of fr

The problem isn't that it's hard to get at the REPL (it's not) - it's envisioning how to use Clojure to do a full-scale web project. What's the workflow?

Forgive my ignorance - if the demo operates in the 900Mhz ISM band, how would any GPS phone be able to connect to it?

for the next poster (randallsquared) - banks don't loan money they don't have - or at least we have to be very careful with the terminology here. They cannot create money out of nothing - they can only loan out a percentage of hte money the

There sure is, but not without obtaining the appropriate license first. Broadcasting on licensed frequencies without a license is generally not legal, and can carry stiff penalties, especially if it ends up tying up a licensed operators sta

They did it because it was the easiest way for google to make it easy to filter out encrypted search without breaking their other services. A very simple change for google -vs- a very difficult firewall configuration for a network administ

You'd imagine that, but you'd be wrong - there are a great many technical employees who don't realize they are way out of their league and will apply anyway.

And if you don't bother telling your manager ahead of time - you run the very real risk of his ire and wrath... As the trunk poster said - you can only pull this off if you are really good at what you do, and prepared for the negative conse

Hypothetically, if I have something web accessible, and you are accessing it, it becomes unauthorized as soon as I (the owner of the service) tell you that you are no longer authorized to use my service. Analogies rarely work -but it's sort

That wasn't really the point I was making - do I think it's a traffic problem? Probably not. My point was that it's not about user's "rights" about their data - none of those are really being taken away - I don't like the sense of entitleme

Lots of good advice from others... I'll try not to repeat: 0) Regardless of what anyone says - you get one life, and one journey - and the path you take is your own - there is no right or wrong one that anyone can decide for you. It's subj

They absolutely get a say - they can choose to put it on posterous, or not. They can also choose to put their data wherever they want. What they don't get to do is force a business, unless it's part of a paid-for contract, to spend it's o

So does the medical establishment at large - it's well acceptd that while SSRI's seem to work, there is no way, other than trying them out, to know which one will work for person X. That said - given the possibility of serotonin syndrom and

Sounds suspicous - unless he's some kind of genetic anomaly, he'd be completely depleted of serotonin and the drug would have nowhere near the effect even a single pill had the first time around, at least as I understand it - all my E-tard
