  1. Glad they decided bloggers have free speech rights on A New Libel Defense In Canada; For Blogs Too · · Score: 0

    ... and not just "traditional journalists."

    Hopefully someday they'll get around to granting everyone (even ordinary citizens) free speech protection.

  2. Ask the IRS... on Tax Write-Offs For Free (As In Speech) Work? · · Score: 5, Informative

    From Tax Publication 526, under the heading "Not Deductable As Charitable Contributions" : "Value of your time or services". Many out of pocket expenses you incur while serving as a volunteer are deductible, though.

  4. Re:Happened before (?) on SEC Lifts Ax For Minnesota Stock-Price Spammer · · Score: 5, Informative

    Yes, his name was Jonathan Lebed. See this article here He was never convicted, but did reach an agreement with the SEC and was fined about $285 K. The article states that his total profit from his dealings were over $800 K, so he did get to keep a huge chunk of his profits. Nice work if you can get it.

    An excellent example of this paranoia is the way in which the house is elected; only 1/3rd is ever up for election at one time

    Actually, it's the Senate where only 1/3 is up for re-election at any one time: In the House of Representatives, the whole body is up for election every 2 years

  8. Re:7th and final game? on Kramnik and Deep Fritz Draw, Tied Before Final Game · · Score: 3, Informative

    White's advantage has never been proven for chess, but it is apparent in actual play - I think at master level, it's about a 5-10 percent winning advantage in favor of White

  11. Re:How does this stop people from being false? on Randomizing Survey Answers For Accuracy · · Score: 1
    I thing the reasoning is that by letting people know that their input will be randomized, they'll be more likely to answer truthfully, as they don't have to worry that their personal information will be stored forever.

    Not sure if this would work, though, as you'll have to trust that they're really randomizing, and the reason many people lie in the first place is because they DON'T trust the web site
