But they don't like *consistent* winners, like card counters for instance. They show those people the door and ask them not to come back.
I can't believe that there are THAT many card counters out there that are good enough such that they could really affect a casino's profits in any significant way. If you have the mind to count cards, so what? Is it a game of skill, or a game of chance? So what if you can take $1000 a day out of the casino? If you can actually use your brain to count THAT many cards you almost deserve to make money off your skill. Just like an athlete who can shoot 99% on 3-pointers. Since you're playing against the house it's not like you are screwing over other players. The casinos are just greedy fuckers.
Well, if I was an investor, and I had put $1,000,000 into nVidia stock, and they say their product is ready and that THIS is their product, but it's actually just a mockup and they have jack-shit, I would be extremely displeased. To me that would be fraudulent. Just like if I show someone a pack of gum and tell them it's a time machine and if they give me $1,000,000 I will let them ride it. That's fraud, and it's illegal.
Stop. Using. MySpace.
Find someone who understands what you're about, and use their service instead. If your business depends entirely on you having a presence on MySpace, you're doing something wrong. Especially now that this may (has?) cost you attorney's fees to sort it out.
Well maybe some of the people. Not everyone is locked into Comcast. In fact, nobody is truly locked into Comcast. But perhaps we should start looking for an exposed ventilation shaft that leads to the core of their mothership just in case.
CRT is dead. You can barely even give away 21" Trinitron CRT monitors, if you're lucky. Every office I have worked in in the past 5 years has had a huge pile of perfectly good CRTs somewhere in the office which nobody wants. And I mean nobody. Who wants a 50lb block on their desk when you can get an LCD panel for $100? Charities won't take them, and you can't put them in the dumpster. It's not a good sign when even the Salvation Army turns up their nose. If CRT is not an outdated technology, I don't know what is..
I don't see what the big deal is. They currently only support their cloth simulation on the GPU, so whether or not GPU is being used doesn't affect rigid body physics at all. Havok is ridiculously expensive and they've dropped GPU support for their HavokFX system. I wouldn't discount PhysX based on this announcement alone unless all you care about is cloth.
Why is that sad? You expected the people who made the laws 100 years ago to predict the existence of a satellite-based global positioning system with modules small enough to be placed on a vehicle to track it anywhere on the planet? THOSE MORONS!
Try imagining the fourth amendment. It unambiguously requires a warrant to describe specifically what is to be searched. I'm quite sure the Wii was not mentioned in the warrant.
So, how about if they sat on the couch, or used the bathroom? Does that count as them "seizing" the couch, or "seizing" the toilet paper? And does that invalidate the entire search warrant? No. Flat out, no. They didn't "seize" the Wii any more than they "seized" the front door when they opened it or "seized" the floor by using it to walk on. Turning something on does not count as searching it nor seizing it. Did they search and seize the lights when they turned them on? Not the most professional behavior to use the Wii, but it doesn't invalidate the search warrant like the defense attorney would dream...
Pictures of burgers are representative of the type of burger you can expect
Except that the burger in the picture is big and plump and juicy with ample lettuce and fresh red tomato and big fluffy bun. Whereas the burger you receive is a squashed soggy piece of garbage with shredded lettuce and a green tomato, and some other shit that you can't even identify. Not exactly a match to the photo..
But then you have to pay taxes on your $1,000,000,000. Raffle winnings are treated the same as lottery winnings, which are all treated as gambling winnings and probably taxable in the 30-40% range. In this case the irony would be that 1/3 to 1/2 of the bribery money would go back to the govt, and eventually be used to hire even more corrupt and inept people...
The judge is supposed to make sure the jury understands the pertinent laws and terms. The juror's oath prevents research on ANYTHING related to the case. Maybe looking up a word in the Oxford English dictionary is okay, but anything beyond that is not appropriate.

Can of worms, I dub thee COLOSUS!
TFA does not contain the emails.
Good thing we have engineers working hard to remove the smartphone/laptop distinction.
Not to worry, the film industry is hard at work on legislation to make engineers illegal.
confirmed that no customer data was lost in the hack
That's exactly what the data thieves wanted them to confirm.
That's why I watch the Simpsons. Very little techmomababble...
Exactly. What is the point of this "news" anyway?

They obviously just need to realign the dilithium quantum flux matrix. What kind of boneheads do they have working on that thing??
There's no way around that one, and I don't care WHAT you use to accelerate your object...
The ONLY exception to this is the "solar sail"...
Not trolling, but you have a very closed mind about this stuff. Just because humans haven't discovered it yet does not mean it doesn't exist.

Monkeys have come from somewhere too - maybe humans are just another race from the same point, not related to monkeys in any way.
Well, humans come from apes, not monkeys.

At it's core it all runs on electricity, and we all know that the US invented electricity.

Microsoft Works.
Well, now, that's just a blatant lie.

Can be music too. They are just MP3 files, distributed in a certain fashion.
