"And speaking as an Asian, people from my country often think I'm from another country(because of my clothes or hairstyle, I think), and I know Asians in the US who have been mistaken for Native American."
Because Native Americans are basically Chinese who immigrated some 5,000 years ago.
The point I am making is, why don't they ban the stock market as well? It is gambling, and a lot of people went bankrupt with that. There are some cases where college students borrow money and 'invest' in stocks recently. You can probably guess what happened to those people.
But poker is not gambling. It is a game of skills. And back in the days when it was still legal, many kids were playing it in my university's library. Kids were very good in that game, compare to some mid-age old man. That is how college become possible, and even have some chance of graduating debt-free, which is very rare nowadays.
By introducing new services, Sony may force you to download a new firmware which make your "homebrew" software inoperable. (The new ones have special motherboard that made installing custom firmware impossible).
Look what we have from Sony: Special AIBO memory sticks, New PSP motherboards, and BMG rootkits. What else do we need from them?
I don't know why I didn't see Hong Kong on the spreadsheet in the summary. Otherwise it could be un-ranked, as they use completely different legal system. If ranked, I bet Hong Kong would be out of top 100.
And apparently, changing the performance of YOUR OWN computer, such as CPU speed, application speed etc. can be considered as "Hacking".
Look up "tf2 speed hack" or "CS:S speed hack" on YouTube for details. Those are just enhancing their gaming experience by changing the shape of the data packet of THEIR OWN computer.
Until you see game developers start publishing on Linux, people will be reluctant to change.
That is why you need one linux distro, and backed by one developer who has power and money to sway game developers (i.e. Valve) to publish on their platforms. Don't get me wrong. The concept of free software is supposed to be compatible and tolerant of many different design / distros. But to overturn a powerful, strong enemy, we need to stand united. We need to have one distro that will stand out.
First we have software-generated paper accepted by the IEEE. And then now we have outright fake journals sponsored by corporations. This couldn't be the best time to get into R&D business, no matter what field you are in.
With the exception of IEEE journal publications, I use Comic Sans on term papers for my English class, powerpoint presentation on computer architecture, email correspondence, AIM etc. , and not a single professor/boss/friend complain about it.
Yeah it is not MLA style to use Comic Sans MS 12-pt font in your term paper, but I got A's anyway. Comic Sans MS is the best way to fill up spaces on the paper.

Yes you are right about gambling.
But poker is not gambling. It is a game of skills. And back in the days when it was still legal, many kids were playing it in my university's library.

Not that I know of.
I have seen people pay for skyrocketing college tuition with winnings from online poker.
and shutdown his machine in every mid-day and see what happens.
Get him a girlfriend... and get him some Herpes,Hep-B, Gonorrhea and Syphilis.
Look, we are not business majors. You need $ to support a girlfriend!
I say, start a political campaign instead. That might give you High-Quality girls.
Not that I know of. PSP-3000s and PSP-2000s that are manufactured past summer 2008 are blocked.

Most geeks can not carry stuff > 50 pounds. No wonder why.
The problem is, if you are in IT, you are expected to move machines around, and they ranged from 50 to 100 pounds.
And that is also why in most of the time, most IT supervisor does NOT have an CS or IT degree. I have seen interviewers that only has a music degree.
Just that simple.
Without the big labels like Valve developing their titles on Linux, you aren't going to see Linux widely used in desktop soon.
I don't know why I didn't see Hong Kong on the spreadsheet in the summary. Otherwise it could be un-ranked, as they use completely different legal system. If ranked, I bet Hong Kong would be out of top 100.

The article made no mention that money is involved.
If no money is involved, it is NOT prostitution. Period.
After some IEEE computer society conferences has found accepting software generated papers.

Sorry but Wal-Mart is the most successful department store in U.S. history, because they run sufficiently without unions. Try again.
The New Age has come. Time to make labor unions illegal in the U.S.A.

"and given that this is Slashdot, I'd be surprised if anyone made any less than that."
Not in China and India where people who read slashdot make US$2 per hour.
Europe have free college education and free fiber-optics Internet, subsidized by their government. I think it is about time for the U.S. to catch up.

I guess the Koreans may be selling this technology to Iran.
What kind of crime requires a SWAT team to be dispatched to the CEO's house?
They are the same thing essentially. I need to remember all these European time zones so that I won't miss a live football game.
You go both side. With such large transaction you may want to verify with the Warner Bros. site first.
