Mozilla FireFox users, do you have trouble downloading academic papers (as PDF files) from SSRN?
I do. I notice that PDF file downloads work fine with MicroSoft Internet Explorer. But when I download a PDF file from SSRN with my Mozilla FireFox, it says that the PDF file is corrupted when I try to open it with my Adobe Reader. Should I blame FireFox, or can’t SSRN handle FireFox well? [...]

Select Sunday, May 1, 2008 — Paris sportifs: Quand la Mafia s’en mele…
Windows Media.
9:00 into, they talk about Davydenko.
11:00 into, they show the BetFair HQ.
Mark Davies is introduced as “the #2″. And, later [...]
BetFair’s Mark Davies speaks French —or, at least, tries his very best to impersonate a frog.

That’s the only interesting bit of information I got from watching M6’s news report. It was a shallow report. All insinuations and un-documented pseudo evidence; no hard facts about the alleged corruption of sports by the Mafia. Shallow journalism by sensationalist incompetents who eat cheese that smells like people’s feet. Waste of time to watch [...]
BetFair Malta outputs a simplistic prediction game (about the 2008 European soccer tournament). I’m not impressed at all.
-
Simplistic enough. Sounds more like a promotion trick than a real game.
The Sporting Exchange has outsourced the development of this game (and others) to a Swedish team.
The Swedish people won a “multi-year” contract. I don’t understand which partner is responsible for the creation of future games. Probably both, but it’s not clear. To get new [...]
CNN Political Market = soon, the Planet Earth’s most traded play-money prediction exchange —after HSX.
—
Introduction
The goal of CNN Political Market is to combine the opinions of a diverse group of people to try and predict the probability of an event occurring or the value of something. Why is this important? Because more often than not, a diverse group of people or “crowd” will generate a more accurate prediction than [...]
Google Reader is a better feed reader than BlogLines.
Read and Write Web:
After doing some testing of both Bloglines and GReader over the past week or so, I still think Google Reader is better.
UPDATE: Google Reader has added search capability. More info: – Google Blog – Matt Cutts – Tech Crunch -
UPDATE: The future of the Google Reader – Tech Crunch: Google May Add [...]
Feed Readers + Blogging Professors + Subscription News Sites
From Professor Bainbridge dot com (a UCLA law professor, and also an open-minded and Bush43-critic conservative for whom I have the deepest respect):
#1. FEED READERS. I renew my advice: read your site feeds with a Web-based feed reader as opposed to a PC-based feed reader. Let another machine (other than your PC) deal with the [...]
The Merits of Site Feeds
About Tyler Cowen’s rant against RSS —a technology that brings all of the blog posts in one place, called a “feed reader”.
#1. Try it. Don’t listen to me or Tyler Cowen. Go to Google Reader (the best “feed reader”), and add to it the feed URLs of all the blogs you like. (Here’s the feed [...]
Tom W. Bell blogs less… and wishes visitors turn into subscribers.
Law professor Tom W. Bell is right:
- Blog subscribers who read inside a feed reader don’t mind anymore about publication frequency. Their (PC-based or Web-based) feed reader (which is a piece of software that downloads the feeds) has freed them from checking many websites once a day (more or less). These blog subscribers are free [...]
