So basically you support the markets being a closed shop in which people without vast resources are unable to actively participate?
I think that's bullshit, it damages liquidity, it removes peoples ability to react to changing market conditions and it greatly impacts people with institutional investments unless those institutes are engaging in HFT themselves. Which they likely aren't.
I prefer passive investment myself because I'm lazy and risk adverse, but I do recognise the benefits of active trading. Getting fucked through information arbitrage isn't a good thing.
You do realise that a significant percentage of the HFT systems out there are explicitly trying to understand and exploit the strategies and implementations of the rest of them?
You do realise that what you're proposing is against the law in the UK?
Fucking cocksucking twats that think hitting their fucking horn is the fucking answer to fucking everything. How about you get a fucking life and stop imposing your own selfish bullshit on the rest of us through noisy irritating unnecessary and fucking annoying car horn use.
Why, yes, I do have sensitivity to loud nearby noises. Yes, it does evoke a violent response. Yes, it is a protected disability. Now fuck off.
To me it's the ultimate combination of physical and mental efforts, problem-solving, and working towards reaching a goal.
Rent a fucking helicopter. Problem solved.
Then solve conflict in the Middle East. _That's_ a physical and mental problem to solve.

It's also a very physical game and I don't want sweaty people in my office.
Play table football or pool or something instead. You know, a game where you can actually share information and discuss random shite while playing, rather than bouncing around like a demented kitten on acid.
There's a genre I haven't explored. Any recommendations?
I'm not after misogynist literature, just something that redresses the balance with the feminist agenda dominating so much of the media and Government at the moment.
£45 covers me enough drinks for around 15 hours in a pub. I'm a cheap date. Or a single meal out, if it's a really nice one. Sometimes I'm not a cheap date.
I still don't spend £45 on computer games. I do play games with very limited lifespan - I played one last night with around 20 minutes of life. I got Dear Esther for free, played it to completion in around 90 minutes and bought copies for three friends. At £6 a copy it's a no-brainer. At £45 I'd have been seriously pissed off at only 90 minutes return.
There are games with very short storylines, that you can complete very quickly, that people don't want to replay. There are games that just aren't as good as people hoped. There are games that are excellent, but that some people don't enjoy. Having a way to acquire, play and dispose of these games without spending over four hours wages is probably a good thing.
Coming from a background in product development I found breaking new ground to be more fun and interesting but not easier.
Finding a bug and fixing it is trivial. Just learn how to use a debugger (and how to debug distributed systems).
Writing new capabilities requires a lot more invention, far stronger awareness of the art of the possible and knowledge of the tools available including the tools that aren't in use now but that could accelerate development.
This continues to be my biggest frustration with Steam. Selling games isn't really an issue, the only reason I haven't kept every game I ever bought is due to storage constraints. Being unable to lend games to friends has been a problem maybe a dozen times, and these days it's easier to just buy the game for them on Steam (in a sale, of course).
But being unable to play two of my own games, that I've bought, on my own PCs, at the same time? That's just bloody annoying.
Only cheapskates try sell or buy second hand games
Or people with limited income, other financial priorities or a sense of value for money.
Only pretentious people with more money than sense think that £45 for 8 hours gameplay is better than paying £35 second hand then selling it 8 hours later for £20.
Zionism is the word given to describe the national liberation movement of the Jewish people
What's a national liberation movement? Free a nation? If by 'Jewish people' they mean Jewish by religion, then it's a theocratic movement and deserves all the hatred it gets. If they mean Jewish by race then it's implicitly racist.
How about a movement to set up a free Israel, irrespective of the race or religion of its inhabitants?
Just that, there's an entire United Nations Security Council desparately seeking some and nobody's actually provided any yet. There's a bloke called Putin that would love to see yours.
How you can fear intelligence gathering and drones more than destroyers, jets, tanks, and rifles borders on the insane.
What the fuck do drones have to do with oppression?
Clearly you missed the news about the unmanned drones killing people in Pakistan and the US Government's indicated williingness to use them to kill US citizens within the USA with no judicial oversight.
FRAND includes 'non-discriminatory'. If you accept that your patent will be available under FRAND terms then you have to licence it, whether you want to or not.
Refusing to negotiate a lower price would be a breach, but opening negotiations at "price you charge us for your patents" can surely only be illegal in "American company's home town".
Now, go and find a website populated by utter fucking morons and post there, because you'll be appreciated by your peers and wont look like a complete cock. Again.
You'd lose money. People would buy from your competitors, as their ladders are cheaper and have a down as well as an up.
If I owned a ladder company I'd tell any customers using it stupidly to fuck off. I'd go out of business too, but at least I'd have a clear conscience.

This is already happening.

I broke someone's arm playing Unihoc once. He was coming at me fast so I just shifted weight and he bounced off my shoulder and into a wall.
It's one of the few games I was any good at; shame I wasn't allowed to play after that.

Interesting site but a little bit hysterical for me. Some of his ranting was.. well, ranting.
I'd hoped for something a little more considered, constructive and less hate fueled.

i know deaf people that like music. I'll ask them what sort they like.
Being deaf doesn't mean that you can't identify vibration, notice a beat or fail to see a performance.

It's not an "either or". Most facebook users I know use Facebook to coordinate some of their physical interactions and then discuss them afterwards.

Judism is uniquely more than a religion, it's also culture, a shared history, a "Nation".
Tribalism is not unique.

Syria used chemical weapons on its own people.
You have actual proof of this?

I assure you, I can. You'd be amazed what violent criminals will do to other people for a small fee.

Sorry but fosspatents is not a credible source.
Neither are Apple, given the blatant bullshit they've been presenting in court.
Doh. Well done on missing the subtlety of my post. I would point it out, but even that would be beyond you.
Goodbye.
No it isn't. "fucker".
