I used to play the fuck out of Speedball 2 on the Sega Genesis with the guy who played the little Amish kid in Harrison Ford's "Witness". I beat the shit out of him and his friends for a while, but then I went away for a while and when I came back they could mop the floor with me.
They still had problems with Super Nashwan, though.
So hold on...winning in a fairly contested game of skill is somehow *MORE* repugnant than killing people and laughing as their blood spatters in a realistic fashion?
It's called, "total luck" or a "fluke". You'll notice this year he was quickly ushered out of the tournament. No staying power. Anyone can win one tournament, but let's see if he's still around playing poker in 10 years.
Yeah, cheating by the house is rife in online casinos. It's to be expected, really...the house, being a corporation, has an obligation to maximize its profits in any way possible. You'd have to be insane to play online Blackjack. Poker, though, is different. Players can collude with each other easily through the telephone or IRC. I'm sure somewhere in the wide world, there are poker boiler rooms, where lines of low-wage people sit and play for a fixed wage. I always said I was going to teach a bunch of Chinese people to play Ultima Online, pay them $10/day, and sell items on ebay.
Good thing only rural rednecks and hicks enjoy watching women have sex with animals. Now that the internet is here, such things are as rare as a family farm.
Shoplifting is only one cause of shrinkage, and half of all shoplifting is employee theft. You want to work in retail management for a while and look at the numbers? If your store is losing money because people are taking your merchandise and not paying, you have big, huge problems that installing mirrors and gates will not cure.
As an aside, shoplifting is only one of the causes of shrinkage. And even when you factor in shoplifting, half of all shoplifting is employee theft. "Shoplifting makes store prices higher" is just a crock (with the exception of inner-city stores, where it really is a big problem).

What if your bosses told you you had to fuck 10 women by 5pm Friday afternoon?

P.S. I never hear anyone but marketing guys call it "backhaul".
Because maybe this "Grant Willey" persona was sneaky enough to pose as a customer? Those cunning marketers know everything, don't they?
It's only 350 pages. I know all good computer books run to at least 900. It also has no CD, another fatal mistake.
The article is talking about last year's tournament, which Varkonyi won.
keep your hard-left bitterness between yourself and your weblog. okthankyou buhbye.

That's the 2002 tournament.
What a windbag...the article submitter REALLY likes to hear himself talk.
Is the object of the game of poker to kill virtual representations of other people?

That being said, I used to bust the computer's bluffs all the time on Intellivision Poker.
Flush the bombers...get the subs in launch mode...we are at DEFCON ONE.

Poker? But I barely know her!
I'd be more interested in the 9% of people who said the suit *is* affecting their decisions. What are the reasons behind that response?
Red wine goes with red meat, fanboy.

It's not a bug, it's a feature!
Uhh...hate to break it to you but I've been taking public transport in Texas for years. But far be it for me to tell a new-account flamer what to say.
