  1. HFT is Not a Sin on How To Profit From Planetary-Scale Computing · · Score: 1

    If they aren't front running their trades by putting up orders they have no intention of filling then what's the problem?

    They're buying something in one place that they believe will grow in value at another place. Isn't this the goal of all trade?

  2. So Suddenly Slashdot Really Cares about WA Taxes? on Income Tax Quashed, Ballmer To Cash In Billions · · Score: 1

    I think a whole lot of people who know nothing about my state just decided to make random political interjections about something they know nothing about

    I don't know how it is in your state, but here in Washington businesses buy things too

  4. Re:I live in Seattle. on Income Tax Quashed, Ballmer To Cash In Billions · · Score: 1

    Damn strait! Personally I like the sales tax better than a income tax, but definitely no to both of them at once

  5. Re:No surprise on Income Tax Quashed, Ballmer To Cash In Billions · · Score: 1

    Uhh, maybe Washingtonians just don't like income taxes. Then again projecting your analysis on a state you seem to know nothing about the people works too

  6. Re:There's more to it. on Income Tax Quashed, Ballmer To Cash In Billions · · Score: 1

    If we allow an income tax into this state then it's just going to work it's way down the income brackets. As a Washingtonian I would vastly perfer an increase in sales tax rather than any income tax

  7. This Washingtonian voted against the Income Tax on Income Tax Quashed, Ballmer To Cash In Billions · · Score: 1

    I live and voted in Washington state. This isn't about Balmer, it's about us being a sales tax state, and not a sales tax and income tax state.

  8. Re:Exponential growth on How Much Math Do We Really Need? · · Score: 1

    And just how in the hell am I supposed to use the Quadratic Equation to elect better representatives?

    A spoon full of Nihilism makes the medicine go down

  10. Re:You're a bunch of pussies on CRTC To Allow Usage-Based Billing · · Score: 1

    If only there were a Slashdot post explaining this to all Americans and Canadians we'd all truly change

  11. Pass the Buck on CRTC To Allow Usage-Based Billing · · Score: 2, Interesting

    So now Canadians can sue online advertisers for damages done by usage of bandwidth?

  12. So how big a bill will Google's spiders pick up? on Pay Or Else, News Site Threatens · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Seems like a lot of automated systems are racking up infractions

  13. Re:Bullshit... on Colleges May Start Forcing Switch To eTextbooks · · Score: 1

    How much ethos is left to put into a copy of Beginning Algebra 6th edition?

    No, we forgot that one on purpose

  18. Sony, why do you constantly fight your fan base? on Sony Lawsuits Target PS3 Jailbreak Authors · · Score: 1

    This is why we can't have nice things!

  19. It's like they stuck their feet in Micheal's mouth on Michael Jackson Themed MMO In the Works · · Score: 1

    And then rode his body down a rocky hill like a Christmas sleigh in winter

  20. Is the voice acting as good as Alpha Centauri? on First Reviews of Civilization V · · Score: 1

    Pretty words

    But it still has nothing to do with the sciences. It's a news show

    Good thing there are quality articles on the sciences to read here. Oh wait, it's just a stupid youtube promotion
