a successful strategy to manipulate the entire stock market, then yes, I'm sure it was an "algorithm" that caused the problem. Now the algorithms can get down to business by creating several small unnoticeable dips during the day which can be exploited for a tidy, sustainable profit.
Dumping shares below their market value isn't a very good way to pump the market.
Bah. While there's no doubt that, at one point, unions served a vital purpose in protecting workers from abuse, nowadays, they're merely another expensive middle-man cost.
Yeah, 'cause there aren't any employers who would take advantage of their employees anymore.
If this was 2004, the article headline would be "Bush Administration Makes Good On Plan To Destroy Critical Book". In 2010, of course, we can't blame Obama for these things.
In 2004, the slightest criticism of the Bush Administration's policy got you jumped on as a traitor by the flag-pin wearing crowd.
The UN created the nation of Israel at the end of World War 2 because it needed a grand anti-axis gesture
The UN created Israel because the proto-Israelis were in rebellion against the British Mandate, and when the British reported that they couldn't maintain the peace the UN came up with a partition plan.
It's surely true that the genocide of WWII caused a great deal of sympathy for the Jews in Palestine, but saying that the UN created Israel as a result is at best misleading.
and had learned nothing about the dangers of displacing existing people for societal engineering reasons.
What's shameful is that the truly massive population displacements in eastern Europe at the end of WWII have been settled for about sixty years, but the relatively minor displacement in Palestine of only a few years later still has people living in refugee camps.
But if you look at -why- Germany went to extreme nationalism, you only need to look at what Germany's neighbors did to them via the treaty of Versailles.
One allied general who saw the terms of treaty exclaimed very prophetically along the lines that "That's not a treaty; that's a recipe for a 20-year ceasefire".
pseudo capitalism is in the process of destroying China from within. As inflation increases, natural resources deplete, environmental catastrophes take their toll, grain shortages increase, and the water continues to run out, well, things will just progress in a predictable fashion. The US need only contain China, which they are successfully doing by forcing them to buy their debt by the billions. It's a stroke of genius actually.
And when China becomes disfunctional you won't be able to buy anthing anymore, because every frikkin thing you buy these days is made in China.
and NO accident of any sort happened up till this day
There have actually been lots of accidents involving nukes. But none that exploded, that I know of.
no madmen, no terrorists, no psychopaths
Partly because so far they've only been affordable by stable nation states, partly because we've been lucky that none of those states or their militaries have been governed by sufficiently whack whackjobs.
However, it's hard to doubt that Hitler would have launched his entire arsenal just before committing suicide. MAD is only as stable as the people playing the game.
Maybe they're scared that Sharon Angle will actually get elected. I mean, a look at her positions SHOULD scare even copyright trolls.
Lets see... Thinks rape and incest should not be an exception for abortion? Check. Thinks global warming is a conspiracy? Check. Eliminating the IRS (like, actually eliminating it, not just grumbling at tax time)? Check. Wants to continue the failed prohibition of marijuana? Check, and possibly wants to restart the prohibition on alcohol. Etc..
Her hard-line views are what got her nominated.
What's funny is seeing all the "Tea Party" politicians running from the cameras, now that they've gotten nominated and don't want the broader public to know what their views are. Back in the regular world, politicians don't miss a chance to get in front of a camera and brag about their grand accomplishments and the more to come.
When a politician doesn't want media attention, you know something is *seriously* wrong.
In Call-Me-Dave's brand new Britain there is no longer any such thing as quality, integrity, creativity or honesty - just the naked and unashamed lust for cash coupled with a sneering contempt for pretty much everyone.
Sound's like they've finally caught up to the Reagan era.
So because a copyright troll sued a conservative it is somehow benign or OK?
25 posts so far. Looks like most of them are saying it's *not* OK. A few bring up what a nutcake Angle is, but don't say anything about that making the lawsuit good.

You didn't have to tell us you where a bad programmer, the VB code was a big enough clue~
I'm proud to confess that I didn't have the faintest idea what he was talking about.

TFArticle doesn't say that anyone was surprised to find the fossil in the chromosome. The surprise is that it's > 19 million years old.
(Creationist bashers can take delight in the fact the these viruses were previously thought to be only 6000 years old.)
It seems kind of unlikely the US would do something so dramatically non-covert.
Like mine the harbors of another country while at peace...

For one thing, despite your pandering, our former president was not an idiot, by definition.
Which definition is that?
If Sarah Palin gets elected, will she suddenly stop being an idiot?

Please explain how homosexuals pass this gene on to their children... Oh wait.
Traditionally, many homosexuals got married and had kids.
But AIUI, it's developmental rather than genetic.
L. Ron Hubbard is a notable example.
And he was an Admiral!
so you can be rooted while you are being rooted
rooted * rooted = square rooted ?
some states have started to have laws allowing to hold you hostage if you do not provide an decryption key to an encrypted container
Which could be a problem, if someone else has put an encrypted file on your computer.
It may be reasonable to hypothesize that deleting the certain gene makes you smarter
Think how smart you'd be if they deleted *all* your genes!
...that Pinky & The Brain was fiction.
Electronic voting is probably the biggest threat to democracy looming in the USA right now.

I really wish the music industry would realize how important it is to users to have an idea what they are getting before they buy it.
Lots of on-line music sales sites have a button that will let you hear a snippet of a track.
for Clive Sinclair to come out of retirement and make a new iPod thing or something?
Just saw the Futurama episode where they viewed something on an "iFad". LMAO.
