I'd hate Apple more if they published a policy, and then cherry-picked when to enforce it for their best PR benefit.

My prediction: "The version number finally equals Pi. No more changes to the software are possible, because it's now perfect."

I know all this, as I've been using Debian/Ubuntu for years, but I think that far fewer people are using Debian now than Ubuntu, resulting in less testing. Developers probably migrated as well. People vote with their feet.

I didn't do any statistical survey of thousands of users, but I am using Debian5 and Ubuntu8.04. The former feels and acts considerably more broken, in my experience. This is in addition to being more pain to install. Just my $0.02.

Are you saying that other Linux distributions are better? It used to be that Debian was more solid, but I don't think this is the case any more.

And how do you define "loss" and "gains" for market players? PS: Your definition appears to be "you lost iff you left with less money than when you came in". OTOH, my definition is "you lost iff you made less money than if you would have if

Are those slots in the same rack auctioned or something? How does having an office in a nearby building help?

I think what you are saying is that if everyone invested very intelligently, then everyone would be better off, as more money would pour into the more viable ventures (is this what you mean?) I can agree with that, FWIW, but from the short-

IAMA thread looks very interesting, thanks (although you never know when it's someone pretending to be something he's not). I'm a bit skeptical of algodeal. If they are seriously doing this (actually licensing strategies and following them)

Relative to the average market performance , making choices as to what to invest in, seems to be a zero-sum game (by definition, as the net total performance of the investments will be average), but I'm not a finance guru, so feel free to

I guess I meant excluding human labor (imagine that a bunch of programmers, etc. with the necessary skills wanted to do it). Would they need to rent a building next to the NYSE and put the machines there?

> why should you do better? It's a zero sum game, but one might be smarter than others. Some companies doing algorithmic trading consistently skim off their share of the market's inefficiencies. What I'm wondering is how much of an inve
