  1. Re:None of them should be making any money on High-Frequency Programmers Revolt Over Pay · · Score: 1

    not time periods, the system should be based on "ticks"

    different items could have faster and slower tick rates, every day, even days, odd days, every week, even weeks, odd weeks, every month ...

    purchase orders would be placed in secret for a dollar amount, sell orders would be placed in secret for a number of shares, at each tick all available shares would be distributed in evenly divided amounts, where any remainder in a buy order would be refunded to the buyer.

  7. Re:Does this apply to everything? on Court Rules That Bypassing Dongle Is Not a DMCA Violation · · Score: 1

    the blizzard case set the precedent that altering a running copy of a program was an unauthorized derivative work, and that distributing game cheats could be considered an infringement.

  8. Re:Does this apply to everything? on Court Rules That Bypassing Dongle Is Not a DMCA Violation · · Score: 1

    it would be if it weren't for the fact that bd+ really is non-trivial to crack and distributing cracking tools would still violate the DMCA

  9. Re:Expect to see more of this... on Rogers Shrinks Download Limits As Netflix Arrives · · Score: 1

    what's really stupid is that surely these providers could work out a deal with netflix to colo streaming servers and keep all the bandwidth "in house" and give netflix subscribers on those participating networks uncapped data rates (i.e., above and beyond what their router normally runs at by assigning everyone a second non-routable IP address.

    also add support for netflix streaming to the set top boxes and advertise directly to customers. doing this they can outsource their entire movies on demand operation to a best in class provider and save a shit ton on edge traffic

  11. Re:Another industry F/OSS has killed. on Why Designers Hate Crowdsourcing · · Score: 5, Insightful

    If this continues, you will not see a single person their who has a degree above a high school diploma.

    if higher education in design does not provide a strong enough competitive advantage in terms of output quality, than such education is a waste of resources and should die off. this isn't medicine or engineering where fuckups kill people. the worse that happens is a design does not win, or a company chooses a crap design and has an ugly logo or website until they figure out that it sucks and change it.

    "all" studies isn't a good measure either, how many of those studies were funded by organizations releasing dioxins into the environment, a breakdown would need to be done by funding as well, to determine if there was a significant deviation of results based on who paid for the study, much how big tobacco funded studies to show their product was harmless, and the same lobbying groups today tell us that first G.W. did not exist, then that it wasn't caused by human activity, then that even if it were caused by humans, it won't hurt anything.

    wrong, specific performance would never be ordered in such a dispute, and the failure to paint the house would only be a loss of the value of the peppercorn, so you would be able to recover your peppercorn and the value of the time wasted finding someone else to paint your house.
