Is they bring near unlimited liquidity to the market. They also don't move valuation, and they only compete against themselves to make the market more liquid thus reducing the actual profits they are "siphoning off the top". It's a race to the bottom alright, the bottom of HFT profits. Or do you'll believe that if they achieve another few order of magnitude of frequency, suddenly they'll drain the entire market of all it's value in a single day?

Seriously? I can't imagine any way to better piss off independents than this crap.

should reconsider who they're outsourcing their editing to...

At 1100 years old, I would surely hope this had fallen into public domain.

Just because you prefer 45 ACP doesn't mean everyone does. A 9mm would have done just as good of a job.

1) The object's mass
2) The object's theoretical weight difference at the different locations
3) The error bounds on the measurement.

Without any of this, I have no idea if this is shocking news, or merely expected. And I'm on slash dot, while it might be contained within the article, I don't come here to RTFA.

Rename it "Fuck you, Holywood". I'm Serious. People will come because they hate the big establishment, it'll become a tourist attraction, and all the regulars will keep coming, and they get to stick it to the assholes.

The first post. I didn't invent it, but I did get here first.

Well said sir, Well said.

Does your thumb drive need power to store stuff? Kindles are not typical devices. They're designed from the ground up to be battery minimalists.

People like steam because it's NOT gamestop. Steam evolved as a response to everything that was wrong with gamestop. Buying a new storefront isn't going to change the problems with gamestop, it's only going to ruin the storefront.

By that definition then this car is then slower than a speeding car, so long as this car is parked at some point in time. I don't think that's a wise interpretation. Especially when MOST bullets are MUCH faster than the stated theoretical speed of this car.

There is NOTHING hard about keeping up with technology in a workforce. At the low end are drafters who make around 35,000$ per year in salary alone. A brand power desktop every year would cost the company only 2,000$, thats less than 6% of the salary cost (probably under 3% of the actual total overhead cost) of the employee. If an average engineer makes 75,000$ that translates to 2.7% of his pay. These figures are absolutely inconsequential. The problem lies entirely with management that believes they are "saving" a little money by making a 75,000$ engineer work on a 15" screen on a computer that's 5 years old.

So you mean like some kind of internet for the ocean?

500 18m dishes all on one satellite? How do you plan to launch said satellite?
