Even if he has exaggerated his health reasons for blocking extradition, don't you think the U.S. authorities have exaggerated the damage he did? They definitely have prior form, just look at how they stitched up Kevin Mitnick. Bear in mind he was a U.S. citizen with constitutional rights. Imagine what they'd do to a foreigner.
60 years is way over the top and a sentence that U.S. judges would have been likely to hand down given his efforts to "evade justice" by delaying extradition for so long. It's about time the U.K. started protecting it's own citizens from over-zealous foreign interference. U.S. citizens would demand the same of their government.
He committed a crime in the U.K., it's always where he should have been tried. He would have served his time and been a free man long ago.
So it is possible to create a large volume of "trades" without actually ever buying or selling anything?
No. They are talking about quotes which are different from trades. Quotes are approximately, "I'd like to buy Apple stock at $5" and then a few seconds later, "ok now I'd to buy apple stock at $5.01". Since AAPL is trading at $639, no-one will take you up on the offer so no "trade" will occur. From working with market data in time series databases in the past, the volume of quotes is about 10 times higher than the volume of trades. This might be different now.
Look, we've only got a couple of days to get rid of the body. The neighbors are getting suspicious about the smell. Do you have a saw?

Fire/Security is definitely important. There are basically two schools of thought on this and you can divide them into two camps, the traditionalists and the modernists. It's important to consider both equally because, depending on your budget, you should definitely (and I have some experience here) build out the security features of your building using both. First lets consider old. If you have enough elevation in your building, you might want to consider a large spherical boulder run. Anyone trying the wrong corridor into your server room better be spritely and have gone easy on the cheetos and mountain dew. Also consider deadfalls, pressure release poison darts and swinging axe guillotines - all good options, but I hear that lava flows are 'in' this year. Server cages don't just keep your racks safe from prying fingers but can also house predatory animals.
The modernists prefer cryogenic rooms with movement sensors, blast bulkheads, rail-gun sentry turrets, laser encrusted sharks and the like. All very boring, especially if you've secured your server room against physical entry using more satisfying traditional means. No, with modern times come modern break-ins and shadowy hackers out there will be trying to obtain admin passwords and root access from outside of your facility, where crushing spike traps will do you little good. A telephone system with mind control frequency blasters is exactly what you need to deal with late-night social engineers badgering your technically less-than-adept security henchmen. Ho, ho, ho they better not have brought any sharp objects to their safe little payphone, let me tell you. Also, I hear there are devices on the market now that allow you to trace exactly where these cyber ne'er-do-wells are calling from but I don't recommend that. They seem to have a design fault which means that they can only trace calls after exactly 60 seconds, by which time in my experience time, most hackers have finished gloating and hung up.
Finally consider your escape route if things get too hot. As the previous (sensibly anonymous) traditionalist poster has suggested, secret passageways can be of great help here. I suggest this in combination with the submarine escape vessel however, which is on special from Lairs-r-Us. Don't even consider rocket ships, if you had somewhere better 'up there' to go, you wouldn't be asking about this on Slashdot, would you?

Microsoft know Windows 8 will be a flop, but it's deliberate. They've finally realized that the second iteration (ME, Vista) has been a failure with corporate uptake especially low. This gives them space to experiment because it can't have much affect on low sales anyway.
By the time Windows 9 rolls around, they can keep what people liked about 8 and ditch the crap. This was the same transition in Vista to Windows 7. Suddenly Windows 9 will be the most amazing thing ever. If you're used to being kicked in the balls, being punched in the face isn't so bad.
Back when we used Visual Source Safe and only one guy could check a file out at a time, you were lucky to have one woman on your team. Resource contention. Now we use Git, there are 50% women and everybody gets their own repository, so to speak.
Agree on the shorter commute. You only get one life so time is one of the most precious commodities you have. Don't waste it commuting if you can help it.
Did you watch the video embedded in the story? It's unbelievable how all the science was stripped out and replaced with awful bullshit attempts at heightening the emotional content of the story, to the point of hilarity. Shame on you, shitty news producers.
Also remember that they are, in state personality terms, reckless, selfish, opinionated and generally uncooperative. When you put two argumentative basket cases in the same room, you can be sure there are going to be some disagreements.
Cities aren't soul crushing, they're the geographic locus of the human soul.
Crime, over population, pollution, noise, traffic congestion, rats and roaches, stupid regulations that limit personal freedoms, high cost of living, etc, etc, etc... Cities are about as soul crushing as you can get.
Who said the human soul was exclusively pristine and virtuous?
Flying is the worst one because people come back from flights and they tell you their story. And it's like a horror story. They act like their flight was, like, a cattle car in the '40s in Germany. That's how bad they make it sound.
They're like, "It was the worst day of my life. First of all, we didn't board, for 20 minutes. And then we get on the plane and they made us sit there, on the runway, for 40 minutes. We had to sit there."
Oh really? What happened next?
Did you fly, through the air, incredibly, like a bird? Did you partake in the miracle of human flight, YOU NON-CONTRIBUTING ZERO?
You got to fly.
You're flying!
It's amazing!
Everybody on every plane should just constantly be going, "Oh my God! Wow!"

I think Turkey is more than capable of levelling Syria on it's own. It might become an issue if Russia wades in though...
Because not all conflict needs to be resolved militarily?

Maybe management think you're paid well enough to buy your own twinkies.

Definitely them too.
Interesting they are implementing exactly that.

Maybe they did a little bit...
