The board of directors/shareholders would likely be very interested to hear about such such inefficienies and poor management. Unless "owner" means he is the sole shareholder, of course.
Only on slashdot someone would think kilo means 1024... Or is the AC above quoting some bizarre table value of imperial tons? Why is it modded informative and not funny?
The underlying goal of any game is to win.
The rules of casino-games are set up to make winning
in the long run nearly impossible.
I can never understand why counting is illegal.
You are simply navigating within the rules of the game, to increase your chance of winning.
Now I realize this is about not using an appliance to gain an edge, but I get the feeling manual counting is almost equally frowned upon.
You are allowed to sit there and give your money away, but try to win and you're in the gray?
I smell corruption from all the way across the atlantic.
Actually newtonian physics, with some galilean insights will suffice.
Also throw in a 3-axis gyroscope to reassure the skeptic. And magnetometers and an apparatus to measure the electric field to ensure the primary sensors haven't been tricked by some other means. Even then there's still a chance the assembler has been in contact with the conspirateurs.
One of these days those things start eating away at our houses and furniture, and getting yeast and radon-emissions won't matter much any longer.
The ethanol-making kind could certainly raise the roof though...
More specifically, now that my head has cleared a bit:
Wouldn't, as a consequence of this discovery, the intensity of light for far-away stars and galaxies fall of by an additional factor of 1/D_obscure*r, where D_obscure(=D)is a function of the average density of dust per l.y. (or integrated over the distance if you will) in the current direction, and of course with the optical properties of the dust.
I propose Pettersen's 1st: (1. draft:) )
The intensity of light received from a distant stellar body that is obstructed by stellar dust is proportional with 1/(D*r^3). D as loosely defined above.

Also as grandparent mentions, this could have profound effects for black energy, as the move from r^2 to r^3 should mitigate the need for acceleration to explain distances.

Only makes sense - the public did pay for it through their taxes. I love the smell of socialism in the morning. See it isn't so bad, is it?

They will only end up saying that playing violent games is a sign of oppressed memories of abuse.

much profit in community management? :p
Add a spark-gap where the receiver is, slap on a laser, and mess with the reception. Maybe they'll take their naggy dog for a walk instead.
Serial terminal with a nokia screen. Check out sparkfun electronics, hackaday et al.

Then consider the increasing amount of dust between the object and the observer with distance, and you can slap another variable onto the formulaes.
