Yahoo sports, particularly the fantasy sports, are pretty well trafficked. There's no competition from Google.
I head a guy describe the system that he uses at, IIRC CBS Sports - and it involved paying a hundred plus dollars to CBS to organize a 'league' with his friends.
On the Internet, even. I don't know if Yahoo is charging, but apparently there is real money involved, and what sounds like a Freshman CS project running the 'matches' on the backend.
So he's got 48 hours to notify, and 90 days before he supposedly needs authorization.
No, and no again - this one needs to die. That's only if the operation qualifies.
See specifically Section 1541c. It's an easy one to remember if you ever owned a Commodore.;)
(c) Presidential executive power as Commander-in-Chief; limitation The constitutional powers of the President as Commander-in-Chief to introduce United States Armed Forces into hostilities, or into situations where imminent involvement in hostilities is clearly indicated by the circumstances, are exercised only pursuant to (1) a declaration of war, (2) specific statutory authorization, or (3) a national emergency created by attack upon the United States, its territories or possessions, or its armed forces.
Which one of these fits Syria? Or Libya, Yemen, Mali, Ethiopia, Pakistan, etc.?
Correction, they abdicated that responsibility in 1941, the last time they chose to exercise that authority. Well, perhaps 1947, but that is splitting hairs.
Not going to War every few years is not abdicating that responsibility - it's taking it seriously.
Funding those wars, without authorization, is, of course, major hypocrisy.
why we keep spending money interfering with civil wars 1/2 way around the world??
To transfer money from the poor and middle class of the country to the operators of the military-industrial complex. Ike spelled this out, what, 50 years ago?
you seriously don't know why you wouldn't take inflation into account? really?
To declare market parity? No, please explain. Stock splits aren't accounted for either; I'm not arguing that the Dow is a good measure, just that people are using its value as evidence of parity.
I realize that 16% growth kind of sucks over a 15 year period, but I'm finding it hard to walk away from the numbers thinking that Microsoft is "worth less than half of what it was when Ballmer started"
Well, to be really honest, every commodity has at least doubled since 1999, so if you're measuring in USD, then, yeah, MS is worth less than half it was at that point.
But financial analysts always hand-wave away inflation (especially real inflation), calling a 2014 Dow-15000 the same thing as a 1999 Dow-15000 and declaring recovery.
All judges are also appointed not by the Chief Justice, but by the President (and confirmed by the Senate). All the Chief Justice appoints are law clerks, staff, and having an influence on who is "admitted to the bar" and able to argue cases before the court.
Perhaps if FISC were a Constitutional court, it would be better. Oh, but a Constitutional secret court is an oxymoron, like 'limited government'.
I thought this might already exist, but I'm not finding it with a quick Google search. Seems like it's a thing that could get ad views from some decent IT audiences.
if the author wanted to be rewarded for his work he should charge be charging a fee for the program. Simple as that.
It's only "simple as that" if one has knowledge of only one economic model and is unaware of the studies showing higher overall revenue via the model Kovid is using (effectively executed, of course).
I'd upvote if i could. This is the correct answer.
Agreed.
Then use professional grade WiFi (e.g. bug ugly gray Cisco boxes with three thick antenna's) to cover the main event areas. Dont mess with consumer grade WiFi unless you are sure you only have 10 csuch aslients and no wifi noise.
Uh, I see those Cisco boxes fall down with only a few hundred users. A bunch of boxes running batman-adv on OpenWRT boxes is likely going to scale better, for less money (though of course not the craptacular default firmware). There are $$$$$ proprietary mesh solutions that do even better. Oops, I missed one additional $.
I'd be interested in seeing his report, to see if he really did provide enough info or not on the bug.
See the previous story from a few days ago here. The bug report was complete crap, and barely distinguishable from spam. It was ALSO a legitimate bug that he was reporting AND he inappropriately spammed a third-party's wall with it.
That said Facebook WRONGLY deactivated his account when he posted on Zuck's wall AND they quickly reinstated it when they found out what was actually going on.
Assuming they fixed the bug, he ALSO deserves the bug bounty reward.
There's no good-guy, bad-guy Hollywood story here - it was a bunch of bad communication all around that resulted in a narrative that sold page views. I know, that doesn't make for an emotional after-school special.
Right. The Hebrews were a sub-group of the Israelites who went on to form Judaism. It's usually used (in a historical context) to describe the Semetic Israelites and/or the tribe of Abraham. There were other Israelites who diverged into other cultures.
Second, his actions have not, to this date, resulted in the indiscriminate release of classified information.
So, if Greenwald, e.g., screws up and discloses the 5000 documents accidentally, then Snowden will be in the same category as Manning? That doesn't make sense - either his actions were responsible or they weren't. I won't argue that Manning was smarter than Snowden (it seems pretty clear that Snowden is much smarter) but the principle doesn't hinge on third party blunders, except as an excuse for _never_ blowing the whistle (because that's always an outside chance).
What whistleblower law applies to Manning?
The primary one would be the Geneva Convention, under which is is obligated to report war crimes and is entitled to protections for doing so.
On the other hand, when I was a child, Lincoln was presented in my public-school education as though he was practically a Saint... which of course you and I know is not so. But then you and I probably know more about it than most.
It's still the same today. My daughter came home with "they said Lincoln started the Civil War to free the slaves. Is that true?"
I had to explain to her that her teachers probably weren't lying, per se, just ignorant.
Of course he can stop it. It's called an Executive Order. He signs it, and it's done.
Did you ever ask yourself why he doesn't sign Executive Orders for all of the things he talked about during his campaign?
Is it impossible that there is some outside motivation that keeps him from acting along those lines? Something he didn't know about during his campaign?
The other possibility is that he was completely disingenuous and said all those things just to get elected, with no intention of following through.

Yeah, but the rebels don't have nerve gas. Oh, wait.

Just look at what's happening with electronics, with people "cooking" circuit boards to harvest the metals on them, etc.
Asimov could not have predicted the regulatory environments that effectively preclude first-world refining of these resources.

mod parent up, as we all have suspected, when the big boys lose it, then it is now called 'errorneous trade' and the exchange cancels that.
So start a competing exchange without HFT, without do-overs for the banksters, without trading floor hours. I'm sure the SEC won't make it impossible!
It may have caused GS to lose some money.
Which doesn't happen. Every day is an up-day for Goldman, but they don't control the markets...
Go home, timothy, you are drunk.

deliberately slowing or blocking binary transfer streams in an attempt to stop Snowdens 400gigabyte cache of information from spreading ?
For some reason, my torrents on Comcast (CentOS, Fedora, Mint) are running at full speed, except for those three. transmission-daemon FWIW.
What's next?
For an encore they should spitball Chuck Norris in the back of the head at a steak house.

That's why the Pearl project in Quatar went through. Quatar guaranteed a set price for decades.
Good to know, thanks - always a pleasure to read your replies.

And when has the United States every respected anything to do with Human Rights?
possibly from 1791 to 1794 (Whiskey "Rebellion").
