...have as much right to see a good plot respected as the readers of Lord Of The Rings?
The movies for Lord Of The Rings had many parts cut and bits moved around here and there. In particular a huge chunk of the Two Towers was cut. The plot was not set in stone and unchanged.
Don't get me wrong, Peter Jackson did a wonderful job. There were some changes that I really don't like though.
So with that said, don't expect Hollywood to treat any story with respect. They just do what they want.
I never meant to imply that Wikileaks is bad or illegal, however just imagine what would happen if some politician found out about Wikileaks funding itself via BitCoin? That opens everything up for them to spread FUD to the general public.
BitCoin is a wonderful money laundering tool, if you want to use it that way.
BitCoin's creator and it's forum members don't want to be associated with WikiLeaks for fear of becoming associated with money laundering, so why is this article pushing it?
Anyway, if there is to be some future electronic currency then IMHO it should be based on IOUs traded between trusted "friends", to send to someone who is not your friend then the network could make a path between nodes with whatever has the best exchange rate and tah-dah, a currency based on trust, not on wasting cpu cycles (as how BitCoin works). I did see a project like this once but the name escapes me. From memory I also think it was centralized which is a big no.
But in HFT, isn't it the case that they see a price, purchase some really quickly, and then sell it again at a slightly different price? So they're not actually adding any liquidity.
To the contrary, every time they buy and then sell for a slightly different price, they push the buy and sell prices closer together.
By better I meant more fair, that is, not allowing people to make money without doing anything productive. Obviously the millions poured into this industry to write HFT code is a waste, but it works.
high freqency trading, relies upon the knowledge of what the future price for a share is going to be and then slams in a trade that will, assuming it gets there in time, result in guaranteed profit.
(emphasis mine.)
The guaranteed profit part is only a very small subset of HFT.
Most of the time it only takes part in transactions which has some expected gain, but by no means always makes said gain. By doing this millions of times per day, in theory, it averages out.
Just like a bank will borrow people's money and loan it other people, at a profit, thus making the market more liquid by matching borrowers and sellers and taking the risk on themselves; these HFT traders buy and sell stock, providing liquidity and taking on risk themselves for a small profit (which gets multiplied by a large factor when done million times)
Sure it's not ideal, but can you come up with a better system?
He gets himself on the news and he stays there. What good is a leak site if after the first leak it disappears from the public eye and any remaining data will miraculously disappear along with all the people that work for it who have "accidents"?
If you were going to pay people anyway, why not just pay the regular people who are randomly selected? And by pay I mean actual pay, as in what they would have been getting anyway, perhaps with a little extra.

Transactions involving 3d-secure are by no means anywhere near all of MasterCard's online transactions.
Just because it is illegal means nothing.

That doesn't mean that it will be in stores anytime soon, obviously it would require a new version of Windows Phone 7 with new APIs.
How are blind people supposed to even use Windows Phone 7 in the first place?
I can somewhat understand a regular phone with keys, I can text without looking at my phone because I can feel the location of the buttons, etc.
What would be really interesting is if the bot can do a better job than them.
I wonder if it has a built in spell check, that might almost do it.
I never claimed it was illegal.
As an AC sympathizer, I agree.
Now what legitimate use is there in linking to that?

As if before this new battery existed there didn't already exist a battery that was the smallest.
Sorry, by push the buy and sell prices closer together I was meaning reducing the Bid-offer spread.

/facepalm
I can't be expected to read now, can I?
The thing is that then HFT doesn't have an unfair advantage and so they will stop their HFTing, thus reducing the liquidity in the market.
What about my freedom to breathe clean air when in public property? You or anyone else can do what you want to yourselves, I want my clean air.

Hmm? I suggest you read up on how TOR works.
How many times must it be said that "wiki" is just a word for "fast"?
And this is why these leak sites should use TOR. And not TOR to Public Internet. TOR to TOR.
What's wrong with that? How many times do all the smart people have to make up an excuse because it will cost them too much financially?

If OpenLeaks publishes anything that offends the US government in the same way then the same thing will happen to them.
Wikileaks already has credibility anyway.
