They'll then tax the information superhighway even more.
Early network services like Prodigy, Compuserve, and AOL, had to deal with changing taxes that led to price changes almost monthly. Internet services were given tax breaks (they would have been taxed under normal law, but this law stood up against that) because the government wanted them to grow. Now that the growth is almost complete, it could be time to go back to normal law.
The problem is that the current law has a "sunset provision" that says it's void after a certain date. This is the 6th time renewing this ban has come up for debate because of this. A "permanent law" is a misnomer, because as you state even the Constitution can be edited.
My poker strategy is to mix what the hand tells you to do, with some randomness. I'll sometimes play a bad hand that stands no chance just hoping it fools the other players into folding. It sometimes works, but not always.
Slingbox is has the same bandwidth problem as peer-to-peer... you have to start the connection at your home connection, not at a server that's halfway between your home and where your cell phone is network-wise.
You don't get to pick your hand in poker, and your max win is controlled by how much the other players bet. There's billions (more than 32 bits) of combinations between 20 down cards (2 per player) and 5 community cards under Texas Hold 'em rules.
Limit Poker is like having a low bandwidth connection the betting compared to No Limit. In No Limit, a player can pick any point they can make with chips win a minimum usually enforced. In Limit Poker, the player must either Bet the first increment amount, call exacttly the current bet, Raise to the exactly next the increment, or Fold and that means there's less stops in the option. Imagine the "Drag-able progress meter" in some online poker interface, it has much more stops in No Limit than Limit.
A bot is better at learning when it has more data....
This is like the "Let's see what would have happened if you didn't quit..." round of some game shows. In poker, you can't find out if you would have won if the hand was bet/folded differently, so how do you confirm you're "perfect"?
Since there can be as many as nine different strategies around you, how do you perfect your game?
DBS doesn't work in the sky... what Southwest is offering is similar to DirecTV;s offering on JetBlue.
For example, you can't watch live Fox News Channel programming while flying, but, you could see the an "evergreen episode" of "Outnumbered" at the same time as a broadcast viewer. (An "evergreen" episode is always true... no current news, but interesting stories that won't go false in the next week.)
Normally they only refresh these tapes once per week, but Fox News is willing to produce these tapes if you're known to one or more of their broadcasters or producers.
Dish may have already gotten the streaming rights as part of a "Sign this or we turn your channels off!" contract recently, and if they didn't the networks could sue Dish and take a penalty from the DBS business.
The definition of "No Limit Poker" is a poker game where any amount up to the amount you have in front of you can be bet at any point of a betting round. If all of the chips you have are present, you are "all-in" and can multiply your stake times the number of people who called you if you win.
There is no way to perfectly play a fair game of poker. You don't get to see mucked cards... so you have no way of knowing if you blundered unless you go to the showdown and lose.
Yep, poker, like most casino card games, are a mix of luck and strategy. Whoever is trying to convince us robots are better than humans is trying to sell us something inferior.
First, robots can't play poker. Computer programs called "bots" are hated by online poker sites. They're fun for an offline game like Poker Academy, but they don't play perfectly.
How do the creators of this thing say it's perfect? When handed the lowest hand in the game, how does it not lose? Bluff too badly and that's a loss This makes no sense to me.
iPhones won't let you change the battery, and give you a hard time getting to the SIM card. Most other cell phones follow suit. Want to change providers? You get a free new device.
Fixing tech is better done by Best Buy's Geek Squad since have all of the test devices that you would only use once to find your problem component.
It's hard to solve that one over a VPN... but a TiVo can trust the local cable system's ID to say where it is, a Roku can solve by region encoding... etc.

Was this a joke? Nobody's laughing...
Lobbying is the act of telling an official how to vote by making a convincing argument.. Bribery is paying money for a vote or action.
It's hard to get a desk where the seller is in State A and the buyer is in State B. Therefore, the state the dealer is in gets to regulate sales.

Always bet and win with the high hands, and fold when you do not have the highest hand.

Yep... big blind plus losing hand means you've got to get all the other players to fold, or that's a loss.

Aereo didn't get the right licensing agreements with the local broadcasters... Dish already has the right contact list from its DBS business.
Isn't "Sling" somebody else's trademark for a like product?

OMG, I think I just wrote a "Skilling"... somebody get Emelt on this story.
News has a "refresh cycle" because the people who are 20-25 reading Slashdot don't remember seeing this story run for the first time.
