    'Sharp business is cheating and not getting caught.'

    If I can beg a little impartiality from the Slashdot editors, must every story include a dig at me or my company?

    Decent article, but regarding this part:

    We've gone from following the rules to playing the odds.

    And if we do follow the rules and don't play the odds, then we are figured to be suckers.

    Speak for yourself. Some of us just keep doing the right thing as best we can, no matter what everyone else is doing. We usually come out better in the long run.
