From what I heard, they had $33 million in capital, strawberries, checkups and BBQs don't use that kind of cash. Over staffing will however. Nothing in this article makes me think they're doing anything over the top like private jet rides to Las Vegas.
A more apt comparison would be him parking the bus across a 6 lane highway, locking all the doors to the bus and not letting anyone off and refusing to move.
Purposefully damaging the company you work for is grounds for penalty.
If a bus driver purposefully crashes the bus, someone could have gotten hurt, he should be charged with wreckless endangerment, much the same way this guy should be..
Poke is almost entirely a game of skill, not chance, at professional levels.
Have you ever watched final tables where pros are seated? There are plenty of times where chance plays a huge part, all-in pre-flop is a great example. An all-in preflop with anything less than pocket aces will result in the possibility of having anywhere between 74% edge on a single opponent, all the way down to an 18% chance of winning.
Poker is a game of chance (where skill plays a big part, by keeping you away from high risk situations).
Lie detectors require having various body monitors that can read your heart rate and breathing.. if I had such a monitor hooked up to my opponents, that would help me massively.
Also, the house rake can be increased by creating action hands that cause the players to put more money in the pot, thereby giving the house a larger rake.
I'm not saying sites do this, but to claim that there's no incentive to cheat is wrong, the house gains if there is cheating going on.
I was hoping this wouldn't have to be said, but playing Poker isn't gambling if you play it properly.
I play poker at a local casino as well as online a lot. It's gambling.
I've heard tons of poker players make the stupid claim that poker isn't gambling, it certainly is. When you invest in the stock market you're also gambling, why? Because you don't know the outcome ahead of time, you're hoping your 80% chance of winning will result in you winning. But bad beats come all the time. Even the pros will tell you it's gambling. Skill plays a big part of winning, but that doesn't change the fact that many plays in poker come down to dumb luck.
Those towers are shared amongst all the users on the network.
How many towers do you think they have in a large metropolitan area? 30? 50? How many fiber lines would they have to hook up if each cell customer had a hard line instead? That cost of an actual hard line is very likely higher than operating a few dozen towers.
If the US asks for the Canadian gov to hand over the criminals and the Canadian gov agrees that they are in fact criminals, then they'll get shipped off and charged in the US for breaking US law.
If Facebook does not have a physical presence in Canada, exactly how will Canada enforce this law on them, should Canada rule that it does apply? I am pretty sure that the current U.S. Supreme Court would not rule in Canada's favor on this, considering that they still seem to support the ruling that state's cannot enforce their laws on businesses located in other states that do business with residents of said state (sales tax).
If the Canadian government does not approve of the site it can threaten to block it the way china does in order to get the site to comply with Canadian laws.
Essentially it's in the interest of Facebook to comply with the laws of the countries it does business with if it wishes to continue doing so.

Good thing I'm running Mojave and not Vista.
Boycott the 2008 Olympics.
Everything i hear about the Olympics in China make me want nothing to do with it.
I'm boycotting it and wont watch any of the events.
You just want my ice cream bar.. DON'T YOU!!1

I'm just waiting for the blackjack and hookers.

AbsolutePoker was caught cheating.

NYC is one of the biggest cities in the world.
I was going more for the average size city, not the biggest.
In any case, laying down wires costs more than putting up transmission towers.

Running lines all over the place is very costly.
Very few Canadians bank with American banks.
This is where extradition comes in.

The same can happen in reverse.
You should really upgrade. Netscape 4.7.3 has a buttload of features that IE 5 doesn't have!
it would apparently also be illegal to turn off autorun.exe
If they plan on reading Homer Simpson's mind they better add "meow" to that list.

Yes, but google and yahoo both have servers in china that handle chinese traffic.
All BlackBerry traffic goes through their central servers located in Canada.
Good thing RIM is a Canadian company.. eh?
Look at sites like apple, they use services like MarkMonitor.com, I was under the impression most large companies did this too.
Python's success is based on how much python coders bash PHP. The more they attack PHP the better the language gets.
Am I just not seeing why this would be hard?
I really want to be able to backup to a remote drive. Perhaps allowing me to save to a disk image?
