it's not the crime that takes you down. it's the coverup.
the question is, did his attempt to fix it consist of martingaling hoping he could even it out, or did he do something else he didn't understand and fuck that up too?
it's impossible for the market to be fully anonymous
everything you enter or transact is linked to your broker's account, and your broker accounts for it on your account (n.b.: this means you don't really own the shares in your account; they're held "in street name" meaning they're in your broker's account and your ownership of them is a contract between you and your broker; that's why your broker forwards you your proxies and prospectuses instead of the share issuer mailing them to you directly).
but that doesn't mean you can't deal with cohorts to game it
happens every day. luckily, people dumb enough to play that game are generally too dumb to do it well enough to really fuck the market over. and various gamesters are all churning each other, so it works out as noise. and they're all small players or they wouldn't risk the SEC's wrath (unless they're dopey fat fucks like that Rajaratnam slug), so it works out as piddly fuzzy noise. if nothing else, these gorks are "creating liquidity" and sintering the system from quasi-stable states into its major stable states.
and as long as money is the prime political motivator, it will only get worse
and it is, so changing it from within is, basically, impossible
so if you want it changed, you'll have to mobilize your fat ass to mobilize your local collection of fat asses to vote the fat-cats' fat-assed shills out of office, first.
You'd think a few games might help, but considering that one of the prime draws of Facebook games is that they reward social behavior (i.e. getting your friends involved) they also reward fake social behavor exploits (i.e. making up lots of fake accounts to pretend you have more friends and get more points).
Google+ sorta forbids that cloning aspect of social gaming. But maybe a nice port of Tetris or FreeCell would get them some dwell time...
You can see Linus Torvalds and the Google Twins there, but hardly anyone else ever posts. And they don't much either. Linus' last post is 9/6, and Sergey's is 8/28, and Larry's is 8/13...
Google needed more than a convention hall. It needed to emcee the convention. Now we have an API, and maybe some people to P it, nobody to A it.
Okay. 5 years. But W3D is still based on engine tech and visual standards that are much older. And I'll call "shenanigans" on your "any." There are likely many Xbox 360 games that look like crap compared with this.
And if Intel had a good-looking Xbox 360 title's source code, this box would out box that box by 359-1 at least.
A database that's in one big file. And takes forever to load. It's the main reason Windows PCs slow down as they age and you add stuff to them, even if you don't add stuff to your startup. Software that stored thousands of items in the registry has a big footprint in your boot time.

You know what you do when everything is moving too fast?
Stop and wait for it to crash, then pick up its stuff for cheap.
Ever heard of "IPO"?
How about "cancellation of shares"?
"Options"? "Mutual Fund"? "Index Futures"?
"Ponzi Scheme".
The stock market is not zero-sum.
This guy was, reportedly, dealing in currency futures. Also not zero-sum.
don't let him get to the %. if he goes down there we'll never catch him.

it's the same bet as any other in the market, it's just done using low-latency computing resources
but it does create some interesting opportunities for those of us who aren't beholden to equations
that flash-crash made a lot of people temporarily poorer on paper, but many who were on the ball a lot richer in real life.
Depends on how big a bailout the government gives UBS for failing to pay attention to its own knitting.
His avatar is a unicorn, so yeah, I guess so.

Okay. I just realized the irony. Let's see if anyone else does.
If you're not going to use the word "fuck" in plaintext when you're pseudonymized, then why the fuck do you care if you use your real name or not?
Google+ didn't bring the gamechange.
It's a ghost town.

Who said this planet wasn't land? Maybe it's half rock and half air.

Their blog is ray-traced.
It hits you! You're rooted in graphics system dogma.
It's code and art that's 13 years older than any 360 title.
I think so. The irony is delightful.
how do i find Get-DhcpServer when all I know is "find me how to get a DHCP server".
"man -k dhcp" will get me 85% of the way there.
Yes, but every sandwich I eat sequesters even more.
I.e., where do you think the C in that CO2 came from? Photosynthesis?
Doesn't count unless you're a cow.
I drive a Prius. Probably a Leaf, next. And I use and promote Nuclear Power.
Your turn.
Pouring 10 million tonnes of material 1 km in the sky is going to require a fuckload of energy.
I know, "but they're using balloons!"
Balloons aren't free lift. You have to fill them with something, and you have to produce that something from something else.
Helium? Limited supply. If you think Carbon footprint is a big problem, you ain't seen Helium footprint yet.
The solution to greenhouse gas is to STOP PRODUCING THE STUFF.
