Online casinos can't stop pokerbots

Online casinos can't stop pokerbots 09/22/2004 10:22 AM
Cory Doctorow: Ed Felten's posted a fascinating rumination on the impossibility of excluding bots from online poker games, and what that means for online casinos:

By reiterating their anti-bot and anti-collusion rules, and by claiming to have mysterious enforcement mechanisms, online casinos may be able to stem the tide of cheating for a while. But eventually, bots and collusion will become the norm, and lone human players will be driven out of all but the lowest stakes games.

But there is another strategy. An online casino could encourage bots, and even set up bots-only games. The game would then become not a human vs. human card game but a human vs. human battle between bot designers for geekly mastery. I'll bet there are plenty of programmers out there who would like to give it a try.

Mysterious power outage KOs casinos in
Vegas

Mysterious power outage KOs casinos in
Vegas 04/12/2004 09:59 AM
Our pals at Gawker forward this tip from reader Audrey Bath about a bizarre power outage affecting casinos and hotels in Las Vegas for the past couple of days -- sounds uncannily like a scene from a recent movie filmed at the affected property:

I thought you might be amused to learn that Las Vegas' premiere hotel, the 5-star Bellagio Hotel, lost all power at 2:30am Sunday (Easter) and power has not yet been restored. As of right now, there is no access to their website, and no updated information. It is THE big story in Las Vegas.

No definitive word yet on why no power, but it appears a truck hit a transformer behind the hotel, on the new Frank Sinatra Drive. The hotel is said to have been 2/3 full (2,000 guests) and thousands of employees have not been able to go to work. All of the hotels' restaurants are closed, every gaming table and slot machine is dark, even the fountains are not operating. There are no elevators, no escalators, no Cirque du Soleil. Only the Bellagio Hotel is affected by the outage, and generators have not kicked in. (It's eerily like "Ocean's Eleven" which was filmed in part at the hotel 3 years ago.)

Some guests have insisted on remaining at the dark hotel; all others have been transferred to the "sister properties" like the Mirage, Treasure Island and MGM Grand. My husband is a chef at Picasso, the top restaurant in Las Vegas, located at the Bellagio, and he was told not to return to work tomorrow because power will not be back on. Power is not expected to be restored until possibly late Monday night. It's a very weird scene.

Blogging Addiction

Blogging Addiction 05/27/2004 10:46 AM

For Some, the Blogging Never Stops: Please don't let me become like this. Interesting story about blogging addiction.

To celebrate four years of marriage, Richard Wiggins and his wife, Judy Matthews, recently spent a week in Key West, Fla. Early on the morning of their anniversary, Ms. Matthews heard her husband get up and go into the bathroom. He stayed there for a long time.

"I didn't hear any water running, so I wondered what was going on," Ms. Matthews said. When she knocked on the door, she found him seated with his laptop balanced on his knees, typing into his Web log, a collection of observations about the technical world, over a wireless link.

Blogging is a pastime for many, even a livelihood for a few. For some, it becomes an obsession. Such bloggers often feel compelled to write several times daily and feel anxious if they don't keep up.

Online Casinos Advertising Over Gamblers
Anonymous Page 04/09/2004 04:04 PM
It's not entirely clear what's happening here, but people are saying that when they visit the Gambler's Anonymous website in Australia, they're receiving pop-up ads for online casinos. As you might imagine, this is not considered appropriate. However, I'm confused as to what's actually happening. The folks running the Gambler's Anonymous site say that they have no control over the pop-ups, which wouldn't make sense if it's their site. Also, I visited the site and there don't seem to be any pop-ups at all. About the only thing I can guess is that these pop-ups are being caused by the type of insidious adware that we've been talking about quite frequently today. It would be nice if the report had more details.

Internet Addiction Gets Your Out Of The
Military? 08/03/2004 12:32 PM
Many stories about "internet addiction" have been based on some random psychologist who was mostly trying to drum up some new (and potentially lucrative) business. However, people continue to take it seriously. The latest, amazingly enough, is that the Finnish military is letting people get out of military service if they're addicted to the internet. Apparently "young men miss their computers too much to cope with their compulsory six months in the forces." However, the Commander-Captain of conscription doesn't seem to have much of a problem with young men staying home and playing games instead of serving their country: "For people who play (Internet) games all night and don't have any friends, don't have any hobbies, to come into the army is a very big shock." Of course, they're not completely out of it: "They get sent home for three years and after that they have to come back and we ask if they are OK ... they will have had time to grow up." I wonder if the cases of "internet addiction" will increase, now that kids know they can skip out on service and play games instead.
