It is more to do with efficiency, and they effectively do it by removing arbitrage.
The only way you "make money" with HF trading IS via arbitrage.
In economics and finance, arbitrage (IPA:/rbtr/) is the practice of taking advantage of a price difference between two or more markets: striking a combination of matching deals that capitalize upon the imbalance, the profit being the difference between the market prices. When used by academics, an arbitrage is a transaction that involves no negative cash flow at any probabilistic or temporal state and a positive cash flow in at least one state; in simple terms, it is the possibility of a risk-free profit at zero cost.
Hence, increasing the frequency only increases arbitrage and doesn't remove it.
He leaked classified information. That's it. It's a far cry to Treason (which is what is what they claim he did per the UMCJ) and while I would not shy away from such a charge, I want them to PROVE it properly within the UMCJ. There's a separate one for leaking classified stuff. They can stick him with that one until the crack of doom and I'll agree with them wholeheartedly... Treason...they need to nail a few other people over that first before the man, even if he IS guilty of it.
Do not use the word there to define him unless it meets this:
"Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court."...or this...
"Any person who--
(1) aids, or attempts to aid, the enemy with arms, ammunition, supplies, money, or other things; or
(2) without proper authority, knowingly harbors or protects or gives intelligence to or communicates or corresponds with or holds any intercourse with the enemy, either directly or indirectly;
shall suffer death or such other punishment as a court-martial or military commission may direct."
Lots of people bandy about the word without honestly understanding the term in question and that it's a SPECIFIC act- which, so far, hasn't been proven. WikiLeaks wasn't going directly to the "enemy" with the information. That's the only way you're going to get to the item #2 with the UMCJ charge of Treason- and the official one that applies to ALL including those in the Military doesn't apply at all.
Calling someone that doesn't hold your opinion (which isn't based in fact, mind...) that he's a traitor as "retarded" as you did in your caption is in fine/. style, but one wonders who's the 'tard in that transaction...
Actually, it's a defined, real crime, per the Law of the Land, the US Constitution.
Article III, Section 3:
"Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court."
18 USC 2381:
"Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined under this title but not less than $10,000; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States."
Treason is directly betraying the country to an aggressor or invader- or being one yourself. It carries one of the highest penalties: Death. You get lesser punishments upon mitigating circumstances.
Next time...educate yourself before calling someone a moron, okay?
Whomever modded your post as insightful, should have looked a bit further...
Separation of Church and State refers to the establishment of state sanction religions- something like the Church of England.
It does NOT mean removing religion's reference from anything government related.
More to the point: Elk Grove Unified School District V. Newdow explicitly counters the position you hold and indicates that "One Nation Under God" and "In God We Trust" do not constitute an establishment of the same. You can believe whatever you see fit- but it's NOT Unconstitutional as of right now and you should honestly not make statements along those lines as it is flatly wrong. Now, had you challenged it on the premise that it's really more something a dictatorship or oligarchy would have it's citizens do, and that it was drempt up by a socialist to help foster socialism/marxism, I'd heartily agree with you and say you might be right there. Where you went, though, was quite incorrect.
But there are no implementations that would not run afoul of MS' patents at this time. There's where the argument will fall flat on it's face- the definition is explicit and MS would have to divuge their secrets and make them available on a permanant royalty free basis. MPEG-LA should take note: they're not an open standard per that correct definition by the UK government either- and WebM IS. They're going to need to come up with an answer that meets this criteria because the saber rattling they're doing against VP8/WebM isn't going to go very far and they've now got a problem because they're facing TWO FOSS codecs that meet the UK criteria of Open Standards.
The Jurors aren't on trial and the Attornies shouldn't be able to do anything other than ask specific questions at Voir Dire as they've always done. This is a highly questionable practice they're taking on.
In both cases, these machines, like pretty much ALL the other "business" printers (and that's what they get used for) run network centric print servers that support LPR/LPD, JetDirect, IPP, and possibly SMB direct spools. They take PCL5 or more typically Postscript as a command language. The stuff you'll find in most of these contexts is not some desktop printer that they've nabbed and slapped somewhere. And if it was done for some lightweight application, they're using a standard network print spool box, coupled with something that's...supported by PCL5 or Postscript, mainly because they don't want to dink with drivers. In the case of the scanners on those multi-function devices, they scan not to a desktop but to your EMAIL.
Sorry...not buying the line they're running up the flagpole. For the expense of what they claimed for those "drivers" they could have eliminated it if they didn't have devices like the two above. Seriously.
I call BS. Each and every one of those "Office" printers are devices that are network-centric. By definition it has to support a Jetdirect, LPR/LPD, and at least an IPP print queue- and use PCL or Postscript for the print command language.
I've not had a "problem" needing "drivers" for an "office" printer for the last decade.
That's why I'm all for coming up with something OTHER than NFS for server framework. Seriously. And using it in a HP/HA cluster is...verging on insane... It's an old crufty design that was designed for use in a simpler time with simpler conditions- and it wasn't all that great then.
Depends on whether you can postmortem the cause or not. If it's happening periodically, your SLA means little as you're having more downtimes spread out over time (which can be as bad or worse than the "longer" perceived downtime) and the users take to talking about the unreliable system.
It's a fine line, really, that should probably lean at least a little towards what he's talking to, though he's taking it to an extreme.
Got it in one. There's some more "important" things here stateside, but while that fight is ongoing, it doesn't need money, it needs people. This is part of one of those fights and it's easily helped by chunking a $20 or so his way for his defense fund. I know I'm going to be doing this come Friday when I have my paycheck.
This depends if the margins are right or the PR gain offsets the losses in the margins. If neither is in place, I can heartily assure you that BP won't be doing it.
Much of what you're hearing about biofuels are from things like Ethanol or the current diesel production from things like oil-feedstock crops like corn, etc.
What happens when you place a bunch of the left-overs from the crop, stuff you can't feed to the livestock, into first a high pressure (600psi) steam environment at 482 degrees Fahrenheit for 15 minutes followed by flash boiling and thermal cracking at about 932 degrees Fahrenheit for about a couple of hours? You end up with a barrel of API 40+ crude oil and a batch of stuff that can be used like coal or for activated charcoal. This process is at about the level of energy that it takes to pull what we're pulling out of the ground already- and doesn't require all the "land and resources" you refer to. More to the point you can do this same sort of conversion process with Oil Algae and you don't even need the waste products to do it with... Better yet, you can feed things that're generally not all that recyclable in the way of plastic or rubber tires and get similar or better results.
Oh, and by the way...you've got it QUITE backwards. Plants are actually vastly more efficient than any solar process we've got right now for collecting solar energy- the trick is in unlocking the stored energy efficiently. We just haven't figured out until recently how to do that.
In truth, we've got several processes that will leverage what we've got in hand (biowaste from the agriculture and other industries, coal (yes...doing what we're doing with it is inefficient...), and the like...) that will pretty efficiently extract the energy locked up in them in a manner can be carbon neutral or less damaging overall- and enable plastics production, fuel production, etc. We've just not been doing it because it was cheaper, up-front, to do the things we're currently doing.
Really? I thought it more along the lines of 270 pounds or so. That was about what I was getting paid when I worked for one of those companies doing this. Of course, that's converting it from the $440 a day I was making there in the States.
Judges don't like appeals overturning decisions. Allowing that would cause a solidly appealable decision that could vacate, maybe remand the case, on them. They're going to typically try their damnedest, if the defense counsel pitches a fit over a Sony division or affiliate, to make SURE that there's a truly neutral party in place for this.
Heh... They should be careful- that function which is the real purpose of their "protections" is not something that gives them standing in this case. If it's shown that this is a goodly portion of what is going on, the case probably ought to implode quickly on them.
Violating the GPL is infringement. Many businesses that violate it do so willfully. That's no different than the "piracy" Sony and others seek to "prevent". As for Linux itself, depends on what else they've bundled as to whether it's a violation or not. If there's not source available for everything and a means to somehow produce binaries (no mention of being able to RUN them is brought up in the license...hence V3's changes...) you're in compliance. V3's a different story as you rightly point out- but if Sony's not releasing everything per the terms of V2, then they've got a problem like Actiontec and Verizon had with busybox.

Depends on if your'e doing kernel code or similar. The device driver and OS dev crowd still uses it...

He's not a Traitor until proven so.

It's already become one...there's no "at this rate..." involved with this.

I have, it typically happens at larger places like Dallas Public LIbrary or at a College Library.
I'm thinking that more a cowpiler problem than a debugger one...

Heh... You're deluding yourself... Want to know what typical devices they'd be using? Here's an example thereof:
The Oce cm2510
Here's another example...

So...when do you propose doing this sort of thing, pray tell?
Once you said, "Digiboard", out the window went the argument of trying to fix things once and for all instead of just simply rebooting...
