And it will make it real easy to recruit his replacement.
Actually, yes. All this HFT has sucked the real money out of the society, which is in a crisis (you might have noticed). So a lot of programmers would do anything for a job. Even high-risk jobs for the companies who caused the crisis...
Indeed. A few years ago, the same trick was used against Dutch police handcuffs. They were also flat, and the manufacturer promised to make the keys more difficult. Apparently, few people learned from that trick.
I use IXQuick for quite some time now. Google not only tried to be my brain, but my room mate, blind helper dog ("Did you mean..."), stalker, mother and a lot more I never asked for.
If they don't think so, they're free to elect someone else
I thought the USA had no direct elections? How can people vote for someone who DOES have their party's best interest in mind if they can only vote for a representative who will vote for them?
Well, that depends how and when the prizes are determined. If you are browsing a page with article of, say, $2, and it costs $20 as you enter the shop, you're just mislead.
Apart from that, our economics are based on a stabilizing situation. If something is sold too cheap, it will be corrected in due time. If something is sold too expensive, that would be corrected also. In that equilibrium, consumer and producer would meet half-way their self-interest. So in the end, the price is "right".
High-speed trading is an unstabilizing situation, meant to just suck money out of a trade. From a consumer's point of view, the price is now always wrong. Nothing of value is bought with it, and the customers pay dearly for that nothing.
6) Checks if a voter can be mapped to at most one vote.
Off course, that bites privacy very much. Some techniques are just no golden hammer for every problem. Doing things on-line is a terrible way to organize an election.
Apple's tight integration of hardware and software gives them a significantly greater advantage when it comes to releasing hardware that people actually want
Absolutely not. They release hardware that a lot of people like. Like Henry Ford said: "The customer can have any color he likes, as long as it's black". What people really want is irrelevant. Some people would want rugged devices (they exist with Windows and run Linux as well, but I never saw a rugged Apple device), others would want "business devices" with better specifications and less "fun" options. In the general computing market, all these devices exist. In the Apple market, they don't.
Microsecond trading should be downright illegal. Instead of market fluctuations leading towards a stable price, market fluctuations are used to pump money out of the real economy into the virtual one. Nothing of value is added by such trade. Only real people are prevented from adding any value.

Since value is frequently defined in terms of scarcity
No. Price may be determined by scarcity, not value.

But you don't have to buy them. There's a Fablab around a lot of corners today.

Oh, and don't forget to sue the people who dare to hum or whistle your melody into bankruptcy.
I think he meant "Another Stupid Markup Language". Thanks for providing us with a new ETLA (= extended three letter abbreviation).

Wait, "Perceptive Pixel" is not an Ubuntu release?
Will my Healthcare insurance cover a healthy trip into space?
Except that key disclosure would cause a lot of harm.
Such as? The freedom to install Minix3? FreeBSD? Debian/Hurd? Or ReactOS? What harm is there?
I live in what the Europeans like to call the backwater redneck racist Christian "fly-over" part of America.
You Exaggerate off course. As a European, I think America is a no-fly zone.

Botnets are for rent as well. It's only natural that you can also legally rent computational power.
Can't you even have privacy if you are dead for 7000 years?
Enjoy the same boring reality show that is broadcasted on earth I guess.
And therefore Slashdot itself forces two of them upon you.

Ah. This will be the first war of which you can make a backup copy.
I thought you already did bankrupt yourselves?

I think the current recession proves that it is the capitalism at the stock exchange that has caused other people's money to run out.

They thought that uploading a site was a good way to hide the moving of their lips...
I only have one answer to that: GET THE FACTS. Politicians are also lying when they write.
