Quick hits

Be careful!

Three phishing e-mails got through my gmail spam filter this morning. Two of them claimed to be from Moneybookers, and one was from epassporte. None of them was legitimate.

Play in the Big Game this Sunday on Full Tilt. You know you want to win all the vittles.



I plan on playing, but I haven't registered yet.

EDIT: A conflict came up, so I won't be able to play in the Big Game. It's too bad -- I was looking forward to it. I'll be there next time.

I noticed a couple of court rulings come across the wire today:

Court rejects Las Vegas speech ordinance

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) _ A federal appeals court on Friday nullified the last vestiges of a Las Vegas ordinance limiting speech in a downtown pedestrian mall.
The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals rejected in its entirety a 1997 city ordinance that prohibited any form of solicitation and leafleting at the Fremont Street Experience.

Court limits authority of federal government at Indian casinos
WASHINGTON (AP) _ The federal government can't make rules for the ways Las Vegas-style games are played at Indian casinos, an appeals court ruled Friday in a blow to efforts to regulate the booming, $22 billion tribal gambling industry.

I just got a phishing email saying my Party Poker affiliate account had put money into Neteller. At first I thought it might be legit and they were cashing out the US affiliate accounts, but I checked to make sure, and it wasn't.

Damn phishers.
