If you still have access to a word processor, open a new document and write down every thing you could think off that could ease the task of your soon-to-bee-ex coworkers when you're gone.
IMHO this is the only morally acceptable behavior in your situation. And hurry up because 9 years of experience is quite a lot, 3 week wont suffice anyway.
Or may be The Pirates Bay finally have their safe harbor (we still need to find protection from EU IP trolls)
I also have a gut feeling

Cracking Go

· Score: 1
After having RTFA, I'd say that the author knows what he talks about. And with techniques he described, the may have a chance to achieve an unprecedented level of computer GO.
Yet, this unprecedented level would steel be far behind real good players because while techniques described in the article can give the program overwhelming tactical advantage(and even tactics are hard to program in GO), it would steel lack deep strategy skills.
For example, the article talks about how vital is to be able to solve tsumego(live and depth) problems. Sure, in a top level game, loosing a group in a tactical battle without compensation usually costs the game, but when you play against some one way stronger than you on when it comes to global strategy, you still have to be able to take advantage of your tactical dominance and this is the very thing the program will lack no mater how strong and fast.
The fact is that in chess, because of smaller board and shorter games. tactics and strategy are more related each to other and in go. This gap is *the* difficulty of go, for programs and humans alike.
Below is a link to an article that may be of interest in this context: how far are top professional Go players from perfect play.

Methinks, all the computing power they intent to sink cracking Go would be better used to produce an AI capable of playing the game at strong amateur level.
There are lots of games around waiting to be analyzed, and if they are about to crunch gazillions of positions they'd better to extract something more juicy than "for that position the best move is..."
At least here in France it would not work. In many cases (methinks this one included) French law states that pushing someone to commit an offence is a bigger offence than the original one. A hounter could argue that he was provoqued and the fine would be probabely dropped. What other countries have similar laws ?
Additionally a hounter could claim that he was aware of the trick an thus not guilty of shooting an animal but just damaging an artefact.
