Card counting isn't how the game is played as it gives an unfair advantage to the person counting the cards. It's unfair to the other players at the table, I could care less about him ripping off the casinos honestly.

Of course the casinos should have a right to not allow card counting. As long as it isn't based on discrimination they have the right to refuse service to whoever they please. If people do not like the rules of a casino then don't go there it's that simple. Card counters cut into their profit and no company likes to lose profit.

I say card counting should be allowed. If someone has the mental capacity to track the trends within dealt hands then too bad for the house.

Let the counter prove that the casino is discriminating against them because they are doing what the casino considers cheating.

It is against the rules to alter game play or adjust odds, should the casino be able to adjust the odds as well mid action?
...how can they prove someone was card counting? Other then winning more often then most, really can they prove it?

Can someone please explain how the advantage goes up for the player when there's more face cards/Aces left in the deck? The players and the dealers pull from the same deck, so wouldn't that mean the dealer has just as good as odds as pulling those high cards too??? I gamble and I know my way around a casino, but I never understood this...

I agree ... they have the right. But SHOULD they have the right? The person is just playing the game that the casino set out for people to play. And he's playing it well. So ... why should the casino have the right to ban them?? I can understand banning someone who is spewing obnoxious language or is a mean drunk, etc etc .... but why should the casino be able to legally ban someone who hasn't broken the law and hasn't done anything except play the game the casino set up for people to play?

Actually a really good explanation that makes total sense... And as a degenerate gambler I totally get it now... Thank you sir!
I'm more of a poker/craps player, but I dabble in blackjack depending on who I'm at the casino with...

The First Lady hugs Debi Trauth of Cincinatti during the event. Trauth is a widow with a teenage son who recently lost her job. Also pictured at left is Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius.
During her speech, Mrs. Obama pointed out that women usually carry the load when it comes to dealing with health care (they're the ones who choose their children's doctors, make and take the kids to appointments, etc.). There was knowing laughter from the almost exclusively female audience when she noted that women are also the ones who are responsible for dealing with their husband's care.

While it is a pleasant place to be, the inhabitants are plagued by an indefinable nostalgia -- in the old days, people could at least touch each other.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 184.108.40.206
if you are really that keen on getting one, let me know and I'll have someone leave 1 at your desk like last time
Yet again, explosive laughter erupts from the vicinity of AWA's desk, following a post from Shak. ;)
Thanks for the very kind offer Shak - but I'd rather they went to advertisers...
Greedy hag? They run a business to make money as we do. ...after that it is still just about money.
Sorry but I don't sell GIFTS on ebay - let alone NEW and COOL gifts, just to make a couple bucks.
(So toddb, sounds like you may be the seller?! Lynch him!)

just out of curiosity, how many people send their Google rep or similar a gift at Xmas
Only thing I personally received was ice cream at my desk one time. My favorite flavor... :)
I also remember seeing an enormous chocolate bar that took several people to lift...
Maybe I'll ask around and see what else. Oh, and there was that live Tapir that arrived in the post one day. Now that was an event!
I sent sees candy to all my reps. Helping others get fat for the holiday...
Nice! I'm off to look into being a rep... ;)
I've not yet seen one of my Google gifts show up yet :(
Here is a little insight for those who are really astonished that they've not received a gift from Google, when they really thought they ought.
It may be good thing to make sure that Google has a clear idea of what the 'right' address is for you. Often, when folks are managing lots of accounts for many clients, the address thing can get a little uncertain.
Disclaimer: This is not my real area of influence, please understand. So I can't really offer anything beyond the advice above, and a sincere hope that things work out for each of you. ;)
<edit> Fix embarrassing typo </edit>
[edited by: AdWordsAdvisor at 12:52 am (utc) on Dec. 23, 2004]
it might not just be a function of how much you spend, but how long you've had your account too, to determine if you are below minimum google radio requirements (GRR).
Yep and it only takes revenue through the Google engine itself and not it's partners into consideration :)
A day that begins with laughing out loud has to be a good day. So, thanks for that, PPCBidder & Robsp. ;)
Wish I knew the details of the algo...
Turns out we got 2 radios! (Presumably 1 from UK and one from USA). Sadly, they had both found their way out of the building without anyone telling me!
If you can't trust your business partners, what is the world coming to?

Pros: Audio is clear and loud if need be. Pairs perfectly with my IO Gear bluetooth adapter. I use it with my VOIP soft phone and I could not have asked for anything better. Battery lasts for a long time and charger is extremely handy and well thought out.
Cons: NADA

This review is from: SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 6570 1GB DDR3 PCI Express 2.1 x16 HDCP Ready Video Card ( 100323L )
Pros: Bought it to play Rift and it performs extremely well. Card replaced an 8800 GTS 768. its about 1/5 the size, generates less heat and has higher FPS. For a mid-ranged card you really get quite a bang for your buck.
Cons: Doesnt come with a built in martini shaker.
Other Thoughts: If you play games and dont have a lot of dough to spend this is really the best card for the money. Card stays cool, fan is quiet and it handles todays games very well.READ FULL REVIEW

I had the keyboard connected to another laptop with a built-in bluetooth adapter and never had this problem. I will probably be getting something else.READ FULL REVIEW

China Blocked Line, Flickr Amid Protests, Greatfire Says
China blocked Yahoo! Inc.'s Flickr photo-sharing service and messaging applications operated by Line Corp. and Kakao Corp. as part of a stepped-up web censorship campaign, according to analysis by Greatfire.org, a group opposed to Internet restrictions.
Line users in China haven't been able to access all services since July 1, Line spokeswoman Fumiko Hayashi said today. While pre-registered Kakao users can still use its texting app other services are not accessible in China, the company said in an e-mailed statement. People attempting to access Flickr's photo sharing website were told the page couldn't be opened.
Greatfire.org, which uses computer servers in different cities around China to gauge access to websites, said Line and Flickr have been blocked by government censors. China blocks pornography and content it considers critical of the ruling Communist Party, with sites including Facebook Inc., Twitter Inc. and Google Inc.'s YouTube inaccessible.
The government is expanding the number of websites it blocks, according to Charlie Smith, a co-founder of Greatfire, who uses a pseudonym out of concern that Chinese authorities will make reprisals. He said the latest interruptions may be connected to pro-democracy protests in Hong Kong this week and the fact that participants spread pictures of the event on social media.
Democracy Rally
China's State Council Information Office didn't respond to faxed questions about the outages yesterday.
A July 1 rally in Hong Kong drew a crowd that organizers estimated at more than a half a million people as citizens demand full democracy when the city overhauls its election system in 2017. China's State Council says the enclave, which has been self-governing since the U.K. ceded control to China in 1997, must have patriotic leaders and judges who put Chinese interests first.
Yahoo is aware of reports that Flickr is blocked for users in China and is investigating, according to an e-mail from the company.
Some Kakao features including adding new friends, the use of some emoticons and checking notices are not accessible for users in China, according to an e-mailed statement from the company.
"We cannot say for sure with 100 percent confidence as to what is causing this problem," Kakao said. "We can only assume."
Line may be getting punished by censors for allowing users to share too many posts on the protests, Smith said. The service, controlled by South Korea's Naver Corp., was still investigating the cause of user access issues in China and the company doesn't disclose the number of users in China, Hayashi said yesterday.

Students gain experience in math and science
July 7, 2010
By Randy Siniard (Aviation and Missile Research, Development and Engineering Center Public Affairs)
Story Highlights
- AMRDEC hosts outreach to youth

REDSTONE ARSENAL, Ala. -- Evan Denison, 15, was one of 20 students who participated in the third week of the Gains in the Education of Mathematics and Sciences Program, sponsored by the Aviation and Missile Research Development and Engineering Center.
He heard about GEMS from his friends and felt that it might be a great way to learn new things and get information on future jobs with the Army.
He was one of 20 students who participated in the third week of the Gains in the Education of Mathematics and Sciences Program, sponsored by the Aviation and Missile Research Development and Engineering Center.
The GEMS students built rockets, bridges and robots; they learned a lot and had fun at the same time. For Denison, building a robot was the coolest project.
"They started the robots from scratch, were given freedom to design and brainstorm their ideas. It was really great," he said.
The GEMS program consists of hands-on, in-class exercises and tours of labs and other AMRDEC facilities.
"The hands-on exercises were better than the tours because the long tours tended to get boring," Denison said.
There was one tour, however, that did excite Denison and his fellow students; it excites everyone who visits, and that is a tour of the Software Engineering Directorate.
A tour at SED lasts a little over an hour and is very hands-on and at times it is very immersive. Students participate in simulations and learn while doing. A typical SED tour encompasses America's Army, the current holder of the Guinness World Record for the Most Downloaded War Game -- America's Army the Online Game; the Kiowa Warrior Helicopter simulator, and the Robotics Lab.
An SED tour has a certain wow factor. This was the best tour of the week, Denison said.
During the GEMS program, the students are led and mentored by local teachers who work for the GEMS program during the summer.
One of Denison's favorite teachers was Jessica Long, who led the bridge-making module.
"Ms. Long was very encouraging, had a good attitude, and was able to explain how to do something so it was understandable," Denison said.
In this module, students each build two bridges and they build one as a team. Each bridge is then tested for its weight bearing capacity. Denison's team was able to build one that held 49 pounds. Pretty amazing when you consider the bridge was made of popsicle sticks, string and hot glue.
Working as a team was better than working alone. It felt good to build such a strong bridge, Denison said.
The GEMS program is helping the students learn that mathematics and science knowledge and skills are applied even after school.

Additional Information
About Asociación ASDIRASDIR (Asociación de Desarrollo Integral Rural - Association for the Development of Rural Communities) is a community-based organization that works to promote development in the villages and communities where it serves. It was founded in 1999 in the village of Nimasac, Totonicapán Department, by a handful of local men and women to support community projects and group loans. Today ASDIR has 5 offices across 3 departments (Totonicapán, Sololá and Suchitepéquez) serving more than 6,000 clients, most of them in rural communities.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

RUSHMORE is the story of a gifted, rebellious teenager named Max Fischer (Jason Schwartzman), a 10th grader at elite Rushmore Academy. Editor of the school newspaper, captain or president of innumerable clubs and societies, Max is also one of the worst students in the school, and the threat of expulsion hangs permanently over his head. Max's world is rocked when he falls for elegant 1st grade teacher Miss Cross (Olivia Williams) and he plans to erect an aquarium in her honor -- then finds himself competing for her affections with his friend, steel tycoon Mr. Blume (Bill Murray), the wealthy father of two of his classmates.
Wes Anderson's follow-up to the quirky Bottle Rocket is a wonderfully unorthodox coming-of-age story that ranks with Harold and Maude and The Graduate in the pantheon of timeless cult classics. Jason Schwartzman (son of Talia Shire and nephew of Francis Coppola) stars as Max Fischer, a 15-year-old attending the prestigious Rushmore Academy on scholarship, where he's failing all of his classes but is the superstar of the school's extracurricular activities (head of the drama club, the beekeeper club, the fencing club...). Possessing boundless confidence and chutzpah, as well as an aura of authority he seems to have been born with, Max finds two unlikely soulmates in his permutations at Rushmore: industrial magnate and Rushmore alumnus Herman Blume (Bill Murray) and first-grade teacher Rosemary Cross (Olivia Williams). His alliance with Blume and crush on Miss Cross, however, are thrown out of kilter by his expulsion from Rushmore, and a budding romance between the two adults that threatens Max's own designs on the lovely schoolteacher.
Never stooping to sentimentality or schmaltz, Anderson and cowriter Owen Wilson have fashioned a wickedly intelligent and wildly funny tale of young adulthood that hits all the right notes in its mix of melancholy and optimism. As played by Schwartzman, Max is both immediately endearing and ferociously irritating: smarter than all the adults around him, with little sense of his shortcomings, he's an unstoppable dynamo who commands grudging respect despite his outlandish projects (including a school play about Vietnam). Murray, as the tycoon who determinedly wages war with Max for the affections of Miss Cross, is a revelation of middle-aged resignation. Disgusted with his family, his life, and himself, he's turned around by both Max's antagonism and Miss Cross's love. Williams is equally affecting as the teacher who still carries a torch for her dead husband, and the superb supporting cast also includes Seymour Cassel as Max's barber father, Brian Cox as the frustrated headmaster of Rushmore, and a hilarious Mason Gamble as Max's young charge. Put this one on your shelf of modern masterpieces. --Mark EnglehartSee all Product Description

In George's words
November 2, 2015 § 27 Comments
Craig Hummer's book, The Loyal Lieutenant, does a great job of revealing the character of George Hincapie. The book is filled with quotes by Lance Armstrong, Jonathan Vaughters, Frankie Andreu, Christian Vande Velde, Michael Barry, and Jim Ochowitz to name a few.
So what kind of guy was silent, loyal, smiling George?
"When we as a group made that decision to play ball, George and I, along with the others on the team, crossed over that threshold together." Lance Armstrong, who wrote the Foreword to the book.
"I honestly felt I would never have to deal with my drug use." George Hincapie.
"Milan-San Remo ended up being the final straw where [a number of us] decided we'd do it." Lance Armstrong.
"I couldn't compete on a level playing field without some assistance." George Hincapie.
"I felt it was my only choice." George Hincapie.
"I didn't reach these decisions without careful consideration." George Hincapie.
"I could tell from his tone and his protestations, that he'd already taken the infamous step, and that moment produced an epiphany for me. I had to do the same." George Hincapie.
"Back then, those seemed like the only choices." George Hincapie.
"I don't have a choice. We have to do it to survive. Everybody's doing it now. I don't have a choice." Frankie Andreu.
"I felt a little guilty." George Hincapie.
"The thought of cheating never crossed my mind." George Hincapie.
"I couldn't make eye contact as I told them it wasn't mine." George Hincapie.
"I nervously asked for the drug." George Hincapie.
"I exited the bathroom a changed man. I felt completely at peace." George Hincapie.
"I also felt proud that I'd committed to the next level." George Hincapie.

"Where other teams had been good at simply cheating, we strived to be better at being professional in all aspects as required to win the Tour." George Hincapie.
"I didn't take any EPO that Tour because I started with a high hematocrit, or red blood cell count (my mother suffers from polycythemia vera)." George Hincapie.
"What also made Jonathan different, however, was that he was actively searching for new and better ways to dope." George Hincapie.
"From a self-preservation standpoint, I felt it was important to know if there were any side effects." Jonathan Vaughters.
"The biggest result of the 1999 Tour was that we started the gradual process of teaching a new generation of Americans about the sport, what it entailed, and what it took to make Lance the best." George Hincapie.

Thomas Dekker hangs up cleats, enjoys new-found independence
March 21, 2015 § 13 Comments
Thomas Dekker retired from the pro peloton yesterday, bringing to a close one of the most illustrious potential careers in professional cycling. Cycling in the South Bay sat down with him on the park bench next to the one he normally sleeps on to talk about what's next.
CitSB: So you've decided to retire?
TD: Yes. It was a really hard decision and I agonized over it for a long time. It was so tough to make up my mind but eventually I knew it was the right thing. Sometimes when you're turning something over in your mind for a long time, seems like there's no good answer, then bang–the answer presents itself.
CitSB: Couldn't find a team, huh?
TD: Oh yes, that was huge. You can't imagine how tough it is to ride as a professional today without a team.
CitSB: Pretty expensive?
TD: Super expensive. Then there's the whole thing about getting your own bottles, driving your own car as the DS, giving yourself massages, and of course being your own domestique and lead-out train. It's very hard to do.
CitSB: You're still not that old compared to, you know, real bike racers like Jens Voigt. Why do you think your career ended so soon?
TD: I'm older than Andy, remember. He quit at age 29.
CitSB: True, but he has a bike shop he's going to open. So that was probably extra motivation for a former Tour de France champion to go ahead and retire. You're not opening a bike shop, are you?
TD: No, but I think the main difference is that guys like Andy and I were from a different generation.
CitSB: How so?
TD: We grew up using massive amounts of drugs from an early age. Devoid of natural talent, work ethic, or drive, we were picked early by our federations' sports-industrial complex and earmarked for success. Sheltered, pampered, overpaid, and feted, we grew up thinking that bike racing meant cranking out good numbers in a lab and winter training meant withdrawing oxygenated blood in December for later use in July.
CitSB: And you mean that there was more to bike racing than that?
TD: Not initially. Come on, we crushed it before they started cracking down on Lance.
CitSB: What was that thing with the hour record?
TD: I was hoping that someone would see how fast I was and offer me a contract. Simple. Kind of like Horner signing on with that junior high development squad and only doing the local CBR crits. I like that guerilla marketing stuff. "Grand Tour champion sprints for water bottle prime." Freaking cool. Some big team is gonna snap that guy up soon.
CitSB: Surely some teams showed interest?
TD: Nope.
CitSB: What do you chalk that up to?
TD: As Jonathan Vaughters said a couple of years ago, I'm sort of an immature asshole.
CitSB: I think his words were "arrogant prick" and "hugely insecure guy."
TD: I think that's pretty close to "immature asshole."
CitSB: Fair enough.
TD: So yes, that probably had something to do with me not getting another ride.
CitSB: What are your plans for the future?
TD: (Waves hands at park bench) This is the future, mate.
CitSB: Wow. These steel armrests must be pretty uncomfortable to rest your head on at night.
TD: Yes, but you know what? My whole life up to now was dominated by cycling, but I do not want to depend on my form, my equipment, my team, anyone or anything any longer. My cycling career was beautiful, ugly, intense, and edifying. I'm ready for a new step. Without my bike.
CitSB: That's pretty noble, but as my dad used to say, how are you gonna eat?
TD: Could you lend me five bucks?
CitSB: Sure.
TD: Thanks.

So does the World Anti-Doping Agency.
"At the end of the day I know what I did and didn't do." Sad-faced Stuart O'Grady, explaining why he's not bothered by accusations that he doped throughout his career rather than the "just a few times" to which he confessed. Cycling News, January 18, 2015.
He thought that the only cheating douchebag in the pro peloton was, you know, him.
"I had no idea. I didn't want to think that the men I was racing against were cheating." Disappointed with broken childhood dreams doper Stuart O'Grady explaining that throughout the "dark era of cycling" he thought that he was the only rider who had ever used drugs. Cycling News, February 26, 2014.
Except that an isosceles triangle has two equal sides. But that's it.
"I didn't know anything at all." Doped up doper Stuart O'Grady's former team boss Roger Legeay, who managed him for eight years, who was himself busted for doping in 1974, and who oversaw Jonathan Vaughters at Credit Agricole — the ambassador for clean cycling who admitted to systematically doping while on the team. Cycling News, July 26, 2013.

That funny taste in my mouth
August 23, 2012 § 19 Comments
In the same week that Lance Armstrong's challenge to USADA got tossed out of court, Bicycling Magazine released an in-depth interview with Jonathan Vaughters about his doping past. The irony was exquisite.
On the one hand, Armstrong is in the final throes of being ground down by a long, tortuous process that punishes drug cheats. On the other, Vaughters has escaped all punishment, been rewarded as a hero and spokesman for clean cycling, and continues to make a comfortable living at the pinnacle of the sport whose rules he once abused with abandon.
Is it justice? Or is it Memorex?
To be sure, Armstrong still has a few cards left to play, but they're certainly not face cards from a strong suit. At this point, however, it's hard to imagine his athletic career and sporting legacy ever reviving. You just don't come back from a lifetime ban unless you're a zombie.
There is, in the anti-Armstrong camp, a sense of jubilation, or grim satisfaction, or plain relief that the doors of the doping jail are closing shut. What there isn't, and what there shouldn't be, is a sense of justice having been done.
Vaughters proves it.
Unlike Hamilton, or Landis, or Basso, or Ullrich, or Pantani, or Virenque, or Millar, or any of the numerous riders sanctioned for cheating, Vaughters walked. The same system that has zeroed in on Armstrong and made sure that he gets punished for cheating has turned a blind eye to Vaughters. It has done more than turn a blind eye: It has anointed him.
How can this possibly be fair, even in the weird world of pro cycling? The sops at Bicycling can barely even raise the question, let alone pursue it with the rigor of a journalist.
Lips moving? He's lying.
In the interview, Vaughters contradicts himself with previous statements so quickly that it's as if he doesn't believe in the Internet. Here's Vaughters, a scant ten days ago in the NYT:
If the message I was given had been different, but more important, if the reality of sport then had been different, perhaps I could have lived my dream without killing my soul. Without cheating.
Here he is today:
Obviously, I'm not a victim. The decision (to dope) was mine and mine alone.
Which of these two versions would he like to have for dinner? They're mutually exclusive. If a rotten system forced him to choose between cheating and quitting, he was a victim. If, on the other hand, the decision to dope was his and his alone, he's not a victim, but rather a douchey cheat. Sound confusing? It is, even to Vaughters. That's what happens when you're a habitual liar: You can't keep your bullshit straight even in the same article.
Immediately after telling us that the decision to dope was his and his alone, he describes the process through which his team director, a devout and principled man, told him that henceforth he would be put on EPO. Vaughters:
I quickly figured out he was talking about EPO. As much as I should've said no, and as much as I was intelligent and should have said, 'Wait, this is bullshit,' in my mind he'd just spelled out that I wasn't going to dope; we'd just make my hematocrit what it would have been had I not been riding my bike so damn much.
In this scenario, Vaughters was either forced into it by his team boss, ergo victim, or he knew what he was doing and did it anyway, ergo douchey cheat.
Let the ends justify the means
Vaughters flips back and forth between "I'm not a victim" and "The system made me do it" over and over, and he does so with good reason. Not only is the interviewer, Joe Lindsey, a patsy, but these mutually exclusive explanations are the only way out of the dense forest of logic and morality that has him hemmed in on all sides.
To be a victim is untenable because no one would believe him. To have done everything of his own free will strips him of the moral high ground he's so desperately seeking to gain in the eyes of the cycling public.
Vaughters plays his readers for fools, and his interviewer for a buffoon, by talking about what a difference doping can make. Here, in the NYT:
How much does that last 2 percent really matter? In elite athletics, 2 percent of time or power or strength is an eternity.
Then, a few days later, he patronizingly lectures his audience that the true evil of blood vector doping is that it gives certain users massive advantages that are far more than marginal:
"He [Vaughters] goes on to explain that the largest gains in oxygen transport occur in the lower hematocrit ranges—a 50 percent increase in RBC count is not a linear 50 percent increase in oxygen transport capability. The rider with the lower hematocrit is actually extremely efficient at scavenging oxygen from what little hemoglobin that he has, comparatively. So when you boost his red-cell count, he goes a lot faster."
Vaughters's point for Bicycling is not that dopers dope for an extra two percent, but that they do it for potentially massive gains depending on their physiology. Which is it? Two percent? Or the logarithmic increase depending on your body's natural capacity for scouring oxygen?
Does it even matter?
Not really
In the context of pushing for cleaner pro competitions, we can and should excuse this mumbo-jumbo that's easier for Vaughters to say than, "I'm a lying douchey cheat, thanks for all the money." But in the context of fairness, he shouldn't get off so easily.
Or, since he has, maybe we should take a minute and deflate for a minute now that Judge Sparks has sent the Armstrong legal team packing. If Lance gets hung out to dry, and Vaughters is deified as the admitted madman running the asylum, was justice done?
Are we good with calling one douchey cheat a douchey cheat, and calling another douchey cheat a role model and hero?
Doesn't that stick in your throat?
Just a little?
Sure does in mine.
Heeeeere's Johnny!
August 11, 2012 § 59 Comments
Jonathan Vaughters has publicly admitted what we already knew, just in time for USADA's supplemental briefing for Judge Sparks, which will almost certainly identify the eyewitnesses who will corroborate Lance Armstrong's use of all kinds of nasty shit to win the TdF against dudes who were using the same nasty shit. Want to bet that JV will be on the list?
Too bad he doesn't read my blog. I posted three form doper apology letters yesterday, and he could have sent in the "apologetic doper" form and saved himself a lot of work. He could have also saved himself some embarrassment. You know, the embarrassment from saying totally ridiculous shit that makes him look like a liar and a hypocrite, and that makes us look like tools for taking the time to read it.
Disclaimer: I'm not opposed to doping
Doping and drugs are fine if you want to do them. It's a form of cheating, just like changing your line in a sprunt, cutting the course, lying on your upgrade request, entering a race while serving a suspension, racing in a category other than one stated on your license, or telling your wife that you're not fucking your secretary.
And although I'd rather finish last (and often do) than cheat, it doesn't bother me terribly that others break the rules any more than it bothers me that some happily married people are happiest in another woman's bed. In fact, the hacker who beat me out for 56th thanks to his high-octane EPO protocol is probably a much nicer chap than some undoped asshole who intentionally chops my wheel and tries to take me down on a fucking training ride.
Which brings me to my next point: as Michael Creed so eloquently put it, even though doping wasn't for him, he didn't judge someone as a bad person for doping. There were plenty of dopers who he'd have been glad to have as neighbors, and other clean athletes who were complete douchebags.
So you're condoning DOPING? Aaaaaaaaaahhhhgh!
No. But I'm not condemning it either. If you dope in some cheeseball masters crit and win $50, that doesn't bother me. I wasn't going to win it no matter what you did or didn't take. If you dope in some big stage race and make millions as a cancer survivor while viciously destroying the lives and careers of people who call you a doper…that's different. That's evil.
But back to JV, and his sob-story about the evils of doping and how we must never again allow children's souls to be killed through doping. Yes, he really said that.
I've bulleted his stupid anti-doping arguments, which he should have summed up by saying, "It's cheating. Cheating is bad. So don't cheat." But nooooooooooooo…
- "Doping takes away childhood dreams." Dude, childhood dreams die with childhood. Life is a nasty, brutish affair that ends horribly for everyone. No exceptions. It's like the first time a young woman sees a big ol' penis and gets told, "This is going in there." Whoa! Major childhood dream massacre! Why should bicycle chasers be exempt from harsh reality? Answer: They shouldn't be, and they aren't.
- "Doping forces you to lie." Whaaaat? Doping doesn't force you to lie, being human does. Humans are liars. Batfuck, dishonest, conniving, duplicitous shits who will say anything to advance themselves. They may also tell the truth when it's convenient, but hate to tell you, JV, people were lying long before EPO.
- "Doping forces young athletes to abandon their sport if they choose not to dope." Wait a minute…that's a negative? Trading in your stinky bibs for an Armani and a cubicle at Goldman-Sachs? Sign me up! Cycling is a cul-de-sac, and the only people in it are broken, or deluded, or drug-addled, or all of the above. The more young athletes who give up this ignoble pursuit as a profession and go get real jobs, the better. You can bicycle chase on the weekend.
- "Doping can make the difference in the TdF between 1st and 100th." Not exactly. When most of the peloton's doped, as it still is, the difference between first and one hundredth place is in your teammates, your tactics, your bike racing skills, the sophistication of your microdosing, and your ability to train far from the testers.
- "Riders who refused to dope, and walked away, were punished for following their moral compass." Okay, everybody take off your stupid hats if that made sense. The whole point behind morality is to do what's right, regardless of the consequences. In fact, it is only by taking the punishment of an unjust system that morality makes sense. You're never punished for taking a moral stand, you're rewarded for it because, asshole, morality is its own reward. Which is the main reason it's so unpopular.
- "We've made huge strides. Just look at these Olympics!" No. I will not watch four Jamaican dudes run faster than the rest of the world combined and call that a celebration of clean sport. The only sport nastier than track and field is professional soccer, football, baseball, hockey, weightlifting, wrestling, boxing, basketball, horse racing…etc.
- "Athletes only dope because they just want a fair chance, a level playing field." That's like those dorks who say they want to win the lottery so they can make the world a better place. Next time you see them, they're broke, drunk in a gutter, and covered in venereal sores. Athletes hate fairness. They want an edge, a leg up, a lighter bike, faster wheels, cyanide in their opponent's coffee, anything to get ahead of the competition. Cycling was a cheat-filled sport long before EPO, and it will be one long after.
What I really wanted to write about was Mighty Mouse, Tree, Katie, and the other badasses who did Leadville today, not to mention their trusty sidekicks who made sure they were well fed and watered for this grueling event. Oh, well. Maybe tomorrow.
International Riders Union announces Turdy France protest
July 6, 2012 § 12 Comments
The international organization representing the world's professional cyclists, or CPA, announced today that it would boycott the remainder of the Turdy France unless the organizers, WADA, and the UCI immediately cease the unannounced "Higgs testing" that began July 4 of this year.
With CERN's confirmation of the existence of the Higgs boson, or "God particle," the World Antidoping Agency simultaneously announced that it had developed a "Higgs test" to determine the presence of the boson in human stool samples. Since the development of an effective test for EPO, physicists have observed that it was only a matter of time before lab testing caught up to what is known in the pro peloton as "Higgs doping."
Questionable performances
According to Peter Higgs, who first theorized about the existence of the boson in 1964, "It's quite simple, really. The boson allows multiple identical particles to exist in the same place in the same quantum state. Think about it. A Higgs doper could, by injecting bosons into the bloodstream, allow multiple red blood cells to exist in the same place at the same time. A 49% hematocrit could be packed with three times the official reading's worth of red blood cells, but never register as elevated."
When asked if he thought that boson doping was in fact occurring, Dr. Higgs chuckled. "Of course it is. Brad Wiggins has been visiting the Hadron Supercollider in the off season for the last two years. The boy's dumb as a box of biscuits; d'you think he's hanging out to brush up on his calculus? That's the world's largest and highest-energy particle accelerator, and I think it's clear he's been climbing into the chamber and having them shoot bosons up his ass for months."
Rider outrage at midnight testing
Mark Cavendish, reigning world champion, strongly disagreed with Dr. Higgs. "Fuckin' dumbass," said the typically blunt-spoken Cavendish through two feet of gauze from his latest finish-line crash. "We ain't takin' no fuckin' bosons up the ass. We're fuckin' bike racers, not particle physicists."
Jonathan Vaughters, admitted doper and anti-doping advocate, has sided with the cyclists. "The problem we have isn't with the anti-boson doping programme. Gosh, I'm even willing to let them use the British spelling for 'program.' The problem is that these Higgs tests are highly invasive, are carried out late at night, and negatively affect the riders' performance the following day."
Adds admitted doper and anti-doping advocate David Millar: "Yeah, mate, that's pretty much it, ey? Y'crack out 200km in the Tour and just as yer fallin' asleep, some lab tester in a radiation suit comes in and wants to ram a supercollider tube up yer arse to check yer bunghole fer bosons? C'mon, 'at's bloody bullshit. Time they get the Higgs prod outter yer arse, yer wide awake, y'know? Then yer fuggin' arse is so sore the next day y'can hardly sit on the saddle."
Last-minute compromise in the works
UCI president Pat McQuaid dismissed the likelihood of a rider walkout. "Bunch of pussies, they're always complaining about something. Radio bans, traffic furniture, preferential treatment of stars, riders getting killed or catastrophically injured, whatever. Back in my day we made five quid a month, slept on rock beds, sodomized each other between races, and was damn glad to have even that. Bottom line is that if they're Higgs doping, we have to get to the bottom of it. And there's no truth to the rumor that the UCI received money for a new supercollider from Team SKY."
Jean-Patrick-de-Tuileries St. Pou-pou, director of merchandising for the Tour, was more circumspect. "We believe that we will be able to reach a compromise that satisfies the needs of all parties to not suffer another shameful doping scandal. There may in fact be a 'two-speeds' peloton, which would explain why the French riders are no longer in the top one hundred. But one cannot be certain."
Drugstrong denies doping, accuses accusers of "fibbing"
July 5, 2012 § 19 Comments
De Telegraaf dropped an evening bombshell, just as we were all wrapping up a long day of July Fourthing and holiday ride badassing, in which USADA named the five heretofore unnamed witnesses to the Lance Drugstrong doping case. The five are Jonathan Vaughters "We Fired Rasmussen Today for Doping Violations," Levi Leipheimer "Been Busted Before, Will be Busted Again," George Hincapie "Could 17 Tours Be Wrong?" Dave Zabriskie "The Vegan Doper," and Christian Vande Velde "Needles."
Drugstrong fired back immediately. The combined press release from his attorney Bulldog Jones, his press agent Smarmy Goodfellow, and Timmy Dinkins, Cancer Survivor, is printed in full below.
Lance Drugstrong is the most tested athlete in the history of sport. With the exception of the drug tests that he has failed in the past, he has never failed a drug test. Drugstrong has built his career on creating awareness of, and hope for, cancer victims.
It is with profound regret that Vaughters, Leipheimer, Hincapie, Vande Velde, and Zabriskie have chosen to sell lies under threats from USADA in exchange for sweetheart deal doping bans. Drugstrong has raced with each of these athletes, put them on the map so to speak, and made them profoundly aware of cancer. Due to the despicable witch hunt propagated by USADA, these former friends have chosen to become cancer lovers and tell fibs about Drugstrong.
Drugstrong has been tested more than anyone ever, and as a cancer survivor himself and cancer awareness benefactor promoter, it is absurd to think that he would ever subject himself to the risks of illegal doping just to win seven straight Tours and become a millionaire and global celebrity who boinked one of the Bobbsey twins and Sheryl Crowe, whose ass, by the way, was so flat that when they had sex his one good ball kept hitting against the sheets.
Lance Drugstrong intends to clear his name and to vindicate his reputation among the fans who don't care whether he doped, and to aggressively defend himself on Twitter.

AMONG the things passionately desired by large groups of Americans are freedom of enterprise and initiative, including a man's "right to work when he wishes, where he wishes and at whatever trade he may desire," and protection against two major risks which make insecurity an ever- present threat in the lives of masses of people. The first risk is the disappearance, because the economic system as a whole gets out of balance, of the opportunity to do the work which a man has the right to do under the free enterprise system. The second is the appearance of those emergencies which form part of the life of every person and family because we are human beings who are born, fall sick, grow old and die. For these risks the free enterprise system makes the individual wholly responsible. He is free to provide against them, if he can, by thrift.
It has always been a characteristic of times of trouble and confusion that new ideas spring up and new advances are made in the field of economic thought. Our own time is no exception. Among the economists a fundamental issue has been joined about our traditional free enterprise system.
In the nineteenth century the idea was widely accepted

I get the impression that Go was perhaps intended to be used with repo, a tool principally used for managing the Android project, but also used elsewhere inside Google to manage large numbers of independent Git repositories. With repo, you establish a common branch or tag name across all the repositories that comprise your project, then "repo sync" to them. Poof! Build and version management. (Sorta.)
Get out of the way, let private companies take the risk and reward, and see how quick a functioning solution arises.
...You were saying?
But Seattle wanted to be a "world class city" and were blinded by rail (to the tune of nearly $200,000,000 per mile).
Ah, yes, fsck rail, because the SR99 tunnel project has worked out so well so far...
Need I remind the membership of the decades-long clusterfsck resulting from so-called "Win-modems" whose codecs were moved from hardware into host software and to this day remain completely undocumented? Even people who put down hard cash for a WinModem driver found themselves left to twist in the wind when the 3.x kernel series came out (modems may be mostly obsolete, but FAXes aren't (yet)).
Now: Who would like to bet that the WinBattery interface will not significantly extend battery life over what we have now, remain completely undocumented (or trapped behind onerous licensing that forbids Open Source implementations), and leave Linux and *BSD users with systems with significantly shortened battery life because they can't control the power interface?
This is yet another naked attempt to bottle up critical system functionality behind a Microsoft-only wall (because apparently fscking everyone over with UEFI and (In-)Secure Boot wasn't enough).
You want me to install an invasive gaming client that delivers no actual game content to me, imposes a network lag on all input, does not allow me to run a zero-latency LAN gaming session, does not allow me to run my own public server for my friends... And your business model is to get me to pay for this degraded experience?
...Good luck.
You do know that DNS queries can be directed to any DNS server, not just the default you get with your DHCP address assignment. There's no reason Microsoft would (or should) trust any DNS servers other than its own.
It seems like the most reliable option would be to null-route the IPs themselves at your gateway. (At which point, Microsoft opens a VPN tunnel via a third site. Rinse, recurse...)

I have a question for the guys out there who do this:
When has this ever worked?
How many guys have actually gotten dates as a direct result of posting explicit photos to their dating profile?
As to loss, thicker wires would eliminate the issue.
I think it would be great for off-grid applications.

London calling
Off to Lord Foster's City Hall, where the long-winded public examination of Mayor Livingstone's London Plan is taking place. An entire day last week was devoted to questions of heritage and tall buildings, with contributors seated around the horseshoe council chamber, gazing through the glazing at the panorama on the other side of the Thames, including Tower 42, the Tower of London and Lord Foster's gherkin. Arguments raged about the sequence of identifying locations for tall buildings - or did locations mean sites? According to English Heritage and the Royal Parks Agency, a major exercise should be undertaken to identify potential locations/sites prior to identifying any particular bit of London. The mayor's plan, on the other hand, suggests that studies should be carried out into whether tall buildings 'could' be appropriate over major interchanges, in Croydon and at Elephant and Castle. EH obviously fears that 'could'means 'will', which is not unreasonable. On the other hand, if you can't build tall buildings over interchanges, where can you build them? On sites devoid of public transport?
Surely not.

Formula One News » F1 2013 – Lotus back Grosjean to keep momentum Posted on 02/05/2013
Lotus team principal Eric Boullier has backed Romain Grosjean to keep the momentum up and says Romains season starts now.
"If you look at the season so far, except for the car issue, he didn't have troubles,"
"He was having good starts, good first laps and good overtaking manoeuvres. So I think he is OK now.
"But Bahrain was a big relief. He put a lot of effort in to rebuild himself after 2012, and it is now paying off.
"He had a frustrating first three races, but he can now build on this and keep the momentum."
"It was not only the chassis, there were a lot of details to understand why it didn't work, but the team did a good job and we found a couple of things that made Romain happy with his car.
"So when he started to enjoy driving, it was a different world. I know he is starting his season now."

A luxury privately owned 3 bedroom villa with private pool and sea view in an exclusive 5 star beachside resort in the paradise island of Koh Samui, Thailand. Conveniently located midway between Chaweng and Choengmon, with two of the best beaches in Koh Samui. Fully air-conditioned and stylishly designed in contemporary Thai style, the villa is a very comfortable and private holiday home. Entered through wooden gates, the villa is arranged on one level, around a lush landscaped courtyard. A fragrant frangipani tree casts shade and perfume over the deck, and the private pool is ideal for intimate dips. Additional swimming pools on the beach front of the resort are also available for guests' use. The pool deck is furnished with sun-loungers and a large parasol and is flanked by the living room and 3 bedrooms. A sala pavilion with cushions and mattress is ideal for enjoying a massage and soaking up the sea views. Ideal for family holiday or romantic couples.
The lounge and kitchen are at the rear of the sundeck facing the pool and sea. On its right hand side, the spacious master bedroom has a dressing room , a four-poster King-size bed and music centre. On the opposing side of the sundeck are 2 further bedrooms; a double facing the sea, and a twin at the rear. All bedrooms have polished wooden floors, built in wardrobes and separate bathrooms. Both bedroom 1 and 2 have sea facing balconies.
The main bedroom en-suite bathroom includes a tub, walk-in shower, and an outdoor garden shower. Bedroom 2 also has en-suite bathroom facilities. The twin bedroom's bathroom is located just outside, off the entrance corridor, and doubles as a guest bathroom with easy access from the pool deck.
The spacious open-plan living room is bright and airy, with vaulted ceiling and sliding glass doors that open onto the pool deck. The living room includes a fully-equipped kitchen, an elegant dining area with a large glass-topped wooden table seating 6 in comfort, and a comfortable lounge. An L-shaped sofa is arranged around a coffee table and a Sony LCD home theatre system with cable TV/DVD/CD player. A utility room off the kitchen includes a washer and dryer.
The villa benefits from use of resort services and facilities, including an excellent domed restaurant overlooking the beach and ocean. A vast deck bar is the perfect chill-out spot with canopied sofas overlooking the beach and sea and also serves light meals and snacks. A small private beach is a short stroll through the resort. Other facilities include a kid's club and kiddies pool, library with computer and ADSL connection, gym, spa, and WiFi internet.
Chaweng is the main centre for shops, night life, bars and restaurants and is just 5 minutes drive away. The smaller and quieter setting of Choengmon is even closer. The Santiburi Golf and Country club is approximately 20 minutes drive away, the airport 5 minutes. The island is dotted with palm trees and has a true tropical feel. A 55 km loop road circles the island, perfect for scenic outings in a hired car or 4x4 driving adventure to waterfalls, jungle treks and secluded beaches. Close to excellent dive & snorkelling sites and Koh Phangan.

The Surat Thani Province region
Koh Samui, the island of coconut trees, is the third largest island in Thailand. It's idyllic location in the Gulf of Thailand lies 700 km south of Bangkok. It is just a short boat ride away from its sister islands, Koh Tao and Koh Phangan. The island is dotted with palm trees and has a true tropical feel. A 55 km loop road circles the island, perfect for scenic outings in a hired car or 4x4 driving adventure to waterfalls, jungle treks and secluded beaches. Also close to excellent dive & snorkelling sites, or you can even try big game fishing.
The island is only 25 km at it's longest and 21 km at it's widest point, covering 250 sq km in total. The majority of visitors are concentrated around Chaweng beach and Lamai beach, both on the east coast. As Koh Samui is just 9 degrees north of the equator the climate is very tropical. From December to February it is hot and dry with not much rain but can be a little windy. From March to August it is very dry but hotter. In May it can start to rain a little more often. From September to November it is still very hot with many sunny days but with occasional refreshing monsoon showers.
There is a beautiful golf course at the Santiburi Golf and Country club, approximately 20 minutes drive away from Peacehaven Villa. The view from the clubhouse is spectacular. For something very different, you can take a cable ride through the jungle treetops in the Canopy Adventure or try go-karting
The local airport is just 5 minutes drive from Peacehaven Villa
Chaweng is the main centre for shops, night life, bars and restaurants and is just 5 minutes drive away from Peacehaven Villa.
Chaweng is Samui's busiest and biggest town which sprung up around one of the island's best beaches, a long stretch of soft white sand that stretches for 7 km. From beachside bars and restaurants to sophisticated cocktail bars, the choices are endless. There is a wide range of restaurants offering cuisine from traditional Thai, Asian, European and Western dishes. Chaweng's nightlife is streets ahead of anywhere else on Samui.
Chaweng beach offers many different types of water sports, including parasailing, canoes and catamarans. Away from the beaches there are still plenty of activities to fill your days. Try playing Soccer Golf in nearby Choengmon !

A wonderfully appointed villa with excellent facilities. Good and clean and comfortable. Complex has a restaurant, spa, two more pools and a gym. Just out side are other bars and restaurants. A great place to explore Samui or just relax around the pool.

Sign says 'For Sale,' but Newtons intend to stay
LAS VEGAS (AP) — The sign may read "For Sale" outside the sprawling southeast Las Vegas estate that Wayne Newton dubbed "Casa de Shenandoah."
But Newton's wife, Kathleen McCrone Newton, said Friday that even if a bidder snatches up the property at auction May 31, the "Mr. Las Vegas" crooner and his family have no intention of moving out.
"We stay here until we choose to leave. We have that right," Kathleen Newton told The Associated Press. "Even if at some point the property gets sold, it gets sold with us here."
She said a lease with a partnership that purchased the nearly 40-acre property for $19.5 million in June 2010 will let the couple and their 10-year-old daughter stay in the gold-trimmed opulent main house.
The mansion, featuring 17th century antiques and keepsakes from performers like Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley and Bobby Darin, was to have been the featured attraction in a "Graceland West" attraction commemorating the career of the 70-year-old "Mr. Las Vegas" crooner. But those plans have crumbled.
Kathleen Newton's sister, Tricia McCrone, lives in another home on the property. Newton's 92-year-old former longtime personal secretary, Mona Matoba, lives in a third.
An exotic menagerie including Newton's penguins, swans and Arabian horses also stay, Kathleen Newton said.
Well, maybe not, said Joseph Wielebinski, a Dallas-based lawyer representing the property owner, CSD LLC, in a bitterly contested Chapter 11 reorganization.
"We have teed up that issue for resolution by the judge," Wielebinski said. "It is anything but certain whether the Newtons remain on the property or not."
The Newtons don't own the Casa de Shenandoah property anymore, Wielebinski said.
While Newton certainly owns his famous Arabian horses, he doesn't own the irrigated green pastures where they graze. The court will have to decide if he owns the barns where they're kept. And leases can be broken during bankruptcy reorganization.
"This is a business divorce. Everything is contested," Wielebinski said.
U.S. Bankruptcy Court Judge Bruce Markell in Las Vegas is poised during hearings March 29 and April 8 to rule on questions about who owns what.
The judge last month approved letting CSD sell animals including two sloths, several wallabies and more than 100 birds including swans, a crowned crane, macaws and love birds for $27,300 to a wildlife center in northern Oregon.
Kellie Caron, curator at the Zoological Wildlife Conservation Center in Rainier, Ore., didn't list penguins among the animals she said she expects to be taking in. She said the animals involved in the sale belonged to CSD, not the Newtons.
The breakup is complicated by the structure of the June 2010 land purchase deal around which the Wayne Newton tourism attraction would have been built.
Wayne and Kathleen Newton, through a business entity called Sacred Land LLC, own 20 percent of their bankrupt landlord, CSC LLC. Lacy and Dorothy Harber of Texas, through DLH LLC, own 70 percent of the property ownership entity. CSD Management LLC, made up of project manager Steven Kennedy and his partner, Geneva Clark, have a 10 percent stake.
There is also intense acrimony between the parties. The two sides traded allegations of fraud, mismanagement, animal abuse and sexual harassment even before the case reached bankruptcy court. Newton lawyer J. Stephen Peek alleged during a breach of contract hearing last summer in state court there had been death threats.
One thing that Newton attorney Bryce Kunimoto and Charles McCrea Jr., an attorney representing the Harbers, agreed upon Friday was that nothing was certain.
"Though CSD will probably disagree, the Newtons have a right under the lease to remain on the property," Kunimoto said.
McCrea said the Newtons may be able to remain in the three houses if they want.
"But they will not have control over the entire 'Casa de Shenandoah' property, only that portion occupied by the houses," he said. "The Newtons may decide they don't want to stay in the houses because they will have little say on what may be developed around them."
