Comment Re:This is why (Score 1) 427

An uncle once told me an odd story. He, his wife, and a group of friends went to Vegas on a mission. They took two hourly slots each, 24 hours, and played one machine. No - don't ask me why, it was just something "fun" to do. They even had other patrons cheering them on! When all players had taken their turn they calculated their winnings. To a hundredths percentage point it matched exactly what the casino said it payed out on slots. It was for the entertainment, not the winnings.

Submission + - Pirate banned from using Linux

dsinc writes: A guy who uploaded the latest Star Wars movie got arrested, pleaded guilty to 'conspiracy to commit copyright infringement' and 'criminal copyright infringement' and got jail and home confinement. As part of his home confinement, he agreed to install some tracking software on his computer. Only problem? He's an Ubuntu Linux user and the gov't doesn't have any tracking software for Linux. So he's been told that he must use Windows for the term of his confinement. Looks like a case of cruel and unusual punishment to me... http://torrentfreak.com/bittorrent-admin-monitored -by-us-government-forced-to-dump-linux/
