The "actual" was meant to exclude chess, not football. He elaborated that in his response: "In other words, not only is it not limited to the football (a narrow category), but it is further not even limited to physical sports in general (a broader category that includes the former). Many people experience excitement even in some activities where they merely work their brain, but no actual muscle has been exerted. The key point was that until the person (whether performing a physical sport or a brain sport...".
Of course, the problem is, in the original message there was no mention of chess, that angle was only brought up in his reply...
A javascript game cannot be audited, as the results are dependent on network, lan, and workstation lag, or lack thereof and less dependent on actual user input.
Actually, that's a feature. Without such unpredictable factors, it would be the cheaters who win, i.e. those guys that "click" the button on the nanosecond via script, rather than manually.
With network latency, manual clickers do have a chance.
... that bridge authorities are now liable for the trolls that might delve under their edifices? That bridges may be closed during rush hour, if police discovers a troll just that moment? Or torn down if trolls keep coming back?
How about if someone rapes your daughter, films the act, and puts it on a billboard across the street from her school?
Then he should first be jailed for raping my daughter, and then snickered at for wilfully making the police's job easy by publishing evidence of his own crime.
The Canada link is especially shocking. Apparently the goons are specifically targeting visitor to this comics' convention, so it's not even a case of "reasonable" custom agents surprised by a medium that they do not yet know enough.
They go out of their way to rifle to people's books and possessions.
It's astonishing that the convention organizers haven't yet moved it to a safer location. Canadian tourism industry doesn't deserve the convention visitors' dollars, if they can't convince their customs to be more reasonable.
As noted by his PD, the 180 month sentence is higher than the sentence recommendation for voluntary manslaughter or conspiracy to commit murder.
So, why then didn't he just off the asshole pig from accross the country that got him into trouble? And the expert witness too, who "recovered" the incriminating pictures from his PC. He would have gotten a lesser sentence, and made the internet safer for the rest of us.
This particular case is strange, it is not common to be robbed in an academic institution.
What's strange is that it is the speaker who gets robbed, rather than some random guy in the audience. I'd imagine all eyes would be on the speaker, and such a theft couldn't go unnoticed. Or maybe the thief considered it as a challenge, as some strange kind of trophy, and deliberately chose to pull off a difficult and risky heist?
If so, push the link to Google's lawyers (dropping it on an anti-patent site like Groklaw will do, if you don't want to talk directly to Google).
You make it sound as if it was easy to talk directly to google, but that people might not want to do it.
I have 2 subjects about which I'd like to talk to google: a persistent spammer at googlegroups.com, and a couple of suggestions for their bot. But so far I've found no e-mail address nor working phone number where to contact them...
Slashdot Mirror
engaging in non-network sabotage
such as hiding shrimps or French cheese in false ceilings or raised floors...
... And far away in some recess
The Lord and the Devil are now playing chess,
The best way to avoid making mistakes is not doing anything at all.
You Sir should apply to a job in Civil Service...
Its a bit like lyrics in the jazz and blues roots. If you vaguely think it might be about sex, it is.
Everything is about sex...
And what about your pride about not littering your Slashdot posts with strange bird droppings (â)?
Nice!
keep a moving average of the latency to the server on the day of the contest.
The latency would probably be much higher the second of the contest, due to all the cheaters' request trundling it at once...
Of course, the problem is, in the original message there was no mention of chess, that angle was only brought up in his reply...
They did it probably just because "digital archery" is such a funny phrase...

I'm a vegan bridge troll. I only eat corpses that wished to die. Yum!

Stop being pedantic.
Stop calling innocent people pedantic. You might get them into more trouble than you bargained for...

I was sexually abused as a child. I wish I had been killed instead.
It's not too late yet. Go find a bridge and jump!
Because to me, yes, murder is less bad than child abuse.
Even if the child survives?

asaulted and almost killed in his own hotel room
Be careful who you take to your room. Worse could have happened: wrongly accused of rape...
... and how is that supposed to help?
