Firstly, is Backgammon a game of chance? I'd say that in any single game, chance may play a significant role, but in a long sequence of games, it evens out. Similarly so with poker.
Cigital examined 103 million hands of Texas Holdâ(TM)Em poker played at PokerStars. In the majority of cases, 75.7% of the time, the gameâ(TM)s outcome is determined with no player seeing more than his/her own cards and some or all of the community cards. In these games all players fold to a single remaining player who wins the pot. In the 24.3% of cases that see a showdown (where cards are revealed to determine a winner), only 50.3% of showdowns are won by the player who could make the best 5-card hand. The other roughly half of the showdowns are won by someone with an inferior 5-card hand because the player with the best 5-card hand folded prior to showdown.
Also: Entitlements need to die. End of story. Corruption needs to die. End of story. Abuse of authority needs to die. End of story. Erosion of individual rights needs to die. End of story....
Funny thing is, I don't see any of those dying anytime soon. The "story", as you put it, is still going strong.
This sounds a lot like the push to outlaw the recording of cops in order to prevent exposure of their brutality.
Since it is currently inconvenient to create one set of laws for the privileged and another for the plebs, they are trying to deny the people access to anything that can be used to oppose them, including in the court of law.
I've been using FF since version 2 and there are two problems that persist (and apparently gather no interest from the devs)
1. Every n seconds (n varies), FF CPU usage spikes up, even if it's idle. It makes it impossible to e.g. watch youtube in FF or in any other browser if FF is concurrently open. See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=490122 (open over 2 years ago, not worked on).
2. FF's memory usage grows until it reaches ~1.5GB, then it hangs forever with 100% CPU usage. The easiest way for me to trigger this behaviour is to go to Google Images, set the image size to "Larger than" 1024x768 (or even higher) and start checking various search terms, scrolling down, hovering on thumbnails and making sure to use "show more results".
I still use FF because some of my favourite addons are FF-only, but the majority of the time I use other browsers.
"Gavin Russell, prime minister of the student government, gathered scores of signatures on a petition supporting Mr. Christie before two staff members warned him that, if he continued, he could also face punishment."
I am ashamed of my country when I can read that, and it isn't followed by "The staff members were promptly fired".
Then start working toward the goal of having them fired. Then we will all be proud of your country (and you in particular).

Following is some selective quoting from the school's code of conduct:
Guiding Principles
The Durham District School Board supports the provincial guiding principles of the Ontario Code of Conduct:
* All participants involved in the publicly funded school system â" students, parents or guardians, volunteers, teachers and other staff members -- are included in this Code of Conduct whether they are on school property, on school buses or at school- authorized events or activities.
* All members of the school community are to be treated with respect and dignity, especially persons in positions of authority.
* Responsible citizenship involves appropriate participation in the civic life of the school community. Active and engaged citizens are aware of their rights, but more importantly, they accept responsibility for protecting their rights and the rights of others.
* Insults, disrespect, bullying and other harmful acts disrupt learning and teaching in a school community. Members of the school community have a responsibility to maintain an environment where conflict and difference can be addressed in a manner characterized by respect and civility.
* Recognition and acceptance of, and sensitivity toward, equity and inclusiveness are expectations within the school community.
Standards Of Behaviour:
All school Codes of Conduct shall include the Ontario and Durham District School Board Standards of Behaviour and must comply with all federal, provincial and municipal laws and Regulations.
Ontario Standards of Behaviour:
Respect, civility and responsible citizenship
All school members must:
* demonstrate honesty and integrity;
* respect differences in people, their ideas and opinions;
* treat one another with dignity and respect at all times, and especially when there is disagreement;
* respect and treat others fairly and equitably;
* respect the rights of others;
* show proper care and regard for school property and the property of others;
Actually, our cops are just members of the biggest, meanest and most dangerous gang in the country. For examples, google Dorian Barton, Stacy Bonds, Robert Dziekanski (and many others).
This is more evidence that the only difference policemen (aka LEOs) and other gangsters is that policemen are far more dangerous because the state approves of their gang.
Then with two 16:9 monitors you're talking your entire desk and you still have crappy vertical resolution. I find 2 1600x1200 much more convenient than 2 1920x1080 monitors.
How about two 1080x1920 monitors? They do rotate, you know.
Intel went so far as to say that legacy software would "not ever" run on ARM. To do that they have to have to have the stick of software patents to prevent an ARM->x86 emulator.
There are several companies that have rights to the x86 architecture and can therefore conceivably create an emulator. AMD and VIA come to mind but there are others as well.
Every election at state level and above, I have basically three choices: vote Democrat, vote Republican, vote for somebody who's really not going to be elected so my vote doesn't matter.

Is Poker a game of chance or a game of skill?
Let's look at it from different angles:
Firstly, is Backgammon a game of chance?
I'd say that in any single game, chance may play a significant role, but in a long sequence of games, it evens out. Similarly so with poker.
Secondly, there was an interesting study:
http://www.cigital.com/resources/gaming/poker/100M-Hand-AnalysisReport.pdf
Quoting:
Harper got a majority, you may want to reconsider.
Also: ...
Entitlements need to die. End of story.
Corruption needs to die. End of story.
Abuse of authority needs to die. End of story.
Erosion of individual rights needs to die. End of story.
Funny thing is, I don't see any of those dying anytime soon.
The "story", as you put it, is still going strong.
And the reason you drag an article from 4 years ago and a different province is...?
... just as it was in the case of the thugs that were caught on camera beating up Dorian Barton.

Since the only damages the court will consider are monetary, it follows that rights and freedoms have no value and therefore can be ignored.
Sadly, no. According to doctrine, god is also omnipresent, thus no motion takes place.

That depends. Were you referring to the bullets or to the /. editors?

Unfortunately, Tomato's support for 802.11n is very limited.
Some people feel that the disrespect is well deserved.
Don't photocopiers employ "currency recognition" (EURion constellation and others) algorithms and will refuse to copy bills?
I did, and found this.
This is more evidence that the only difference policemen (aka LEOs) and other gangsters is that policemen are far more dangerous because the state approves of their gang.

Indeed.
