  1. Re:Fair enough - tax refunds? on Blogger Removed From NCAA Game for Blogging · · Score: 1

    This is what I can find on their website. It does mention statistics, but I would imagine that something similar to this is what he violated:

    The NCAA reserves the right to deny any entity from producing live statistics for NCAA championship play. In the event the NCAA takes on the responsibility of producing a live statistical representation from an NCAA championship event, no other entity will be permitted to do so. Live statistics are considered a protected right that has been granted to CBS as part of a bundled rights agreement, referenced above. For clarification purposes, a live statistical representation includes play-by-play, score updates, shot charts, updated box scores, photos with captions, etc.

    In the event the NCAA, through CBS, does not produce live statistics for a specific championship, the host institution is given priority to produce exclusive live statistics. The host institution will be given the same exclusivities the NCAA would reserve for CBS in such an instance.

    Once it is determined that neither the NCAA, nor the host institution, plan to exercise their exclusive rights, the ability to produce live statistics - on a non-exclusive basis - will be granted to each participating school. The definition of a participating school constitutes a school playing in the same event at a specific site.

    In each case, no commercial advertising is permitted within the live statistics window. Any questions pertaining to live statistics should be sent to Jeramy Michiaels, NCAA Manager of Broadcasting (jmichiaels@ncaa.org).

  2. Re:Is there a resource for people who check IDs? on DMCA Takedown Notice For a Fake ID · · Score: 1

    Not sure if it's federal or not, but in South Carolina, SLED (our state law enforcement agency) gives out a book that has front and back replicas for every state ID, including any older versions that might still be in use. It also describes the security features and details of each ID. It's pretty handy.

    You're right, a bad Russian design, with no containment structure and the safety systems turned off, operated by incompetent operators, is definitely representative of the current nuclear industry.

  6. Re:US is trying to enforce its law on the whole wo on FBI Arrests Neteller Execs · · Score: 1
    Gambling businesses are making money from people living within US borders where that business is illegal.


    Actually, gambling online in the US isn't illegal at a federal level. It's only illegal in those states that have laws against it (New York, and two others I think). What the new legislation made illegal was processing funds to and from betting operations. The end-user (the gambler) still does not commit a crime.
  7. Re:YouTube Is Not Censoring Dumb @ss! on YouTube Accused Of Censorship · · Score: 2, Informative

    It's not an automatic restriction. AS I understand it, it gets flagged as inappropriate and then goes into a queue where they are manually reviewed and tagged by an employee. Which means whichever employee tagged it also thought it was inappropriate.

    Or you're pre-disposed to thinking all southerners are racist. Either one. But you're right about what you said, previous southerners were quite racist. Just don't use them to judge the current generation. And before you even say it, yes, there are racists in the south, just like there are anywhere else.

  9. Re:hm on Which Grad Students Cheat the Most? · · Score: 1

    I had multiple choice tests for a 200 level physics class. There would always be 8 answers, 2 of which were "All Of The Above" and "None of the Above." The other 6 would be something like 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, 0.9, 0.8, 1.3. I hated those tests.

    Not the the bill actually cleared the House Financial Services Committee, not the House as the headline says. This means that it will go before the full House for debate.

    According to their website, they do offer 911 service. It doesn't say whether they collect the fee or not, but I would assume they do since they offer the service.

    Where I live, Time Warner just started doing exactly that. You can get digital cable, RoadRunner Internet, and digital phone service, all in one package. And if you do get all three, you get the "VIP Discount", which is something like 15% off of your bill.

    Yeah, but if you can constantly stop 4th and 25 from your opponent's 10, then you're always getting the ball on the 10 yard line and scoring in one play. This is isn't any fun either. All you ever get to do is score in one play and kick the ball right back to the guy who's just going to go for it on 4th down again.
