prostoalex writes "MSNBC has a special report on discovering online cheats at AbsolutePoker.com. A Costa Rican company belonging to a Canadian tribe at first denied all the accusations of any cheating going on, but after Serge Ravitch made a scrupulous analysis of the games' events, the reputation of AbsolutePoker.com was at stake. A detailed log file provided investigators with necessary details: an employee and partial owner of the site was one of the players involved, and having direct access to other players' cards allowed him to improve his game substantially."

I just got back from a Slashdot 10th anniversary get-together in Calgary with ~15 other fellow geeks (the story about living with two sword-wielding lesbian nudists just HAS to be a troll) and I'd like to thank Taco for the stunning blonde at the table across the way.

Actually, I was expecting a bunch of laptop-equipped nerdy guys with live video cams.
