You don't understand the issue or you are making money from the technique and have fully disconnected yourself from the ethical implications of HFT scamming.
I'll use plain english terms to describe it since I'm not in that industry and never remember the fancy facade of names used to obfuscate investing practices and technical points from non-industry people.
You can check the bid/ask prices, the type of HFT process that screws you happens entirely AFTER you press the buy button, they see your buy at one data exchange location and literally outrun your network packets to remaining exchange points to buy up what you just clicked 'buy' on. You end up with a portion of what your lowest bid was, but suddenly the other locations that have the product to fill the order are all priced higher from the HFT gamer. This requires special high speed access and high speed API access to the data exchange points.
It's rigging the system. It's a great hack if you are making money for yourself but it's more than just unethical, it utterly destroys any usefulness of financial investment markets, and also leads to caustic disruption of real world economic data.
In many instances, Oracle is expensive and overly complex for what is the ultimate underlying (and simple) task of storing data in a reliable and redundant fashion. A hardcore geek's RDBMS is not what anyone should ever recommend for any production database environment that does not employ umpteen 'hardcore geeks' at any given time to explicitly manage that system.
Oracle is like a diamond encrusted iphone of DBs, it's got perceived value and makes others think you have money and power, and that perception drives it continued usage.
This pretty obviously needs to be a subpeona, a search warrant is from a law enforcement standpoint and that has zero use for data in a physical location outside the US. It's an attempt to end run around the system and it's far reaching and needs to be quashed immediately.
Everyone was stealing from each other the entire time, now the guys up top have to do their dick waving to match Russian's dick waving with Ukraine. We just felt left out of the dick waving contest so here we go again.
HBO and the other movie channels have had their chance. The cable is cut, they either get with the program and open subscription services to all ala Netflix/Hulu/Vudu/etc. or die on the cable-attached vine. Sorry for the loss of good programming but there's always new programming coming.
Yet it’s important to remember that subsidy programs are a conventional business practice that brings down the cost of services for consumers. Nobody’s access is degraded. In an increasingly connected world, it’s a welcome development that carriers and ISPs are proposing market-oriented solutions to bring more people online while gaining a new revenue stream for network upgrades.
Is this a joke? Subsidy programs don't bring down the cost of services, ever. Access is 'degraded' by overselling services after the big ISPs use their subsidies for piecemeal upgrades that only pad profits, instead of actually improve the entire infrastructure. Carrier and ISP's market-oriented solutions are to bring more profits with the least amount of additional expenditure, and network upgrades are an accident of necessity. New revenue streams are about profits.
I'm on an AMD 8320 8-core clocked at 3.7ghz and to get a decent gaming experience with modern games, I had to go with a Nvidia 770. AMD 7750 just doesn't cut it for acceptable gaming performance, it's a complete crutch.
Rising health insurance prices were doing that anyway, with or without Obamacare. At least pre-existing conditions are covered now when people do get insurance.
The Democrats had the majority, but the Republican's used the pseudo-filibuster bullshit to prevent any legislation from passing. When they realized that the ACA they let slip through was much bigger for Obama than they expected, after major negotiations neutering it and in-fact supporting the individual mandate as a compromise, they panicked and since then just "filibuster" instead of trying to negotiate on everything. (Saying your negotiating and compromising when its 'my way or the highway' every fucking time even after concessions are made by Democrats on the various legislation pieces does not actually equal negotiating and compromising).
The Dems had majority, but the Reps used the loopholes to command the power like they were the majority. That's why people can be confused about it.
6-core AMD just ruined the build, I have an 8-core AMD with 32gb RAM and SSD and its a dog compared to the same specs with i5 or i7 on just about everything.
If you want a beast of a build use a supermicro board with dual xeon cpus and 8 or 16 dimm slots.;)
Hold on let me go grab a copy of Debian Linux and install it. No ads. And it's free. Advertisers have nothing to do with the internet being free, they have to do with people making money off stuff that could be free in the first place. An entire ecosystem has developed around supporting the advertising based internet, as opposed to an infrastructure ecosystem being built based around 'actual' free services provided for the sake of community/social improvement/etc.
The internet advertisers are attached to is free because otherwise people would do it for free anyway, without a way for the advertisers to make their middleman money off the system.
They heard everyone else was doing it so they wanted to make sure everyone thought it was their idea. Like all the other stuff they come up with (and patent).
You already have a TV and a PC, you can control it from the PC.
The media services that come with most tv's are TERRIBLE in terms of stability and reliability.
This is cheap enough that it could replace OTA and Cable for even low income households over the course of the next few months.
This is going to be replacing higher priced setups for office presentations everywhere as well, I'm already ordering one to test at the office and if it goes well, everyone that goes to client sites will have their own to carry with them.
Blackthorne got me started on Blizzard, Warcraft: Orcs and Humans got me stuck on Blizzard. Playing Warcraft 2 on Kali.net was the best gaming I ever experienced. I even had my animated gif filled Warcraft 2 strategy guide site published in one of those early internet yellow pages books, which seemed awesome at the time but is hilariously awkward in retrospect.
Battle.net was and still is annoying crap that really is just a way to chain you to them. I have never paid to play WoW and have passed on Diablo 3. Heart of the Swarm was a monumentally terrible story line that only worked to setup essentially the exact same outcome from Warcraft 3 with Chaos. Perhaps Starcraft 3 will be mixing SC and WC universes together. So far, SC is just a lazy reworking of WC with 'surprises' that tend to bewilder any expectations of competence.
Fortunately I'm older now and don't really give a shit, but it's my own children that are going to have to deal with this nonsense now.
99.999% of all mail I receive 'to my door' is junk mail advertisements that the postal service makes 'bulk mail delivery' money on. Either ban advertising by snail mail or charge more to deliver bulk mail ads.
Visual Studio? Do you even know what TechNet was for? It was not just a cheaper MSDN, it was something that reinforced Microsoft's position with IT pros and provided important access to new and old operating systems and applications. Visual Studio was the least important piece of the pie for many TechNet subscribers.
This decision will hinder adoption of future MS technology and eliminates a revenue source, as there will now be no revenue for the limited time demo based testing environments. Timed demos, aka "Evaluations," just don't cut it and the loss of Technet is the loss of an insanely important resource for IT.

Looks like she's bought and paid for.
It's insanity, we are watching real life crazy people.

That would actually be iOS
The only problem with this is if you use it for gaming. VM = No go for GPU support

Why the hell is there an article about the manual being found and not an article containing the portions of the manual that were previously redacted?
It's ignoring the meat to talk about the how the potatoes were picked at the farm.

With the growing muslim population there, YES.
Ah, there it is. The penultimate argument you can make. Post-modern racism.
What precisely or generally would I be charged with?
"Look's like you have a broken tail light, sir."

That's a tazin' right there.

They needed something to watch any video they were sent. VLC does the job.
