Should Companies Expense Stock Options?

A reader writes : "The New York Times is running a story about proposed accounting changes to force companies to expense stock options. Is this a necessary and proper oversight measure to enforce financial discipline on companies that might otherwise have none? Or would this measure basically stop companies from offering fiduciary responsibility incentives to their employees? What do you think about this? What should the final decision be? And what measures should be taken to influence the decision-making process?"

    There is no such thing as a linux-using Christian.

    You can not go to heaven. If you were a real Christian, God would steer
    you from the filthy and perverted GNU lifestyle.

    Hey guys my name is eddie i am a sophmore in highschool. I read about
    this group on SSYGLB and how it is a good place for discussion which i
    am always interested in. Today i guess you could say i was
    enlightened. it wasnt by god or by a priest or monk not even a family
    memeber. I am sure you all recently heard on the news or paper that a
    young man from PA was beheaded in iraq. to be honest i didnt give it
    much thought...i just said to myself that is what happens in a war and
    we shouldnt be there anyway but thats beside the point. My friend
    later instant messaged me about it and sent me the video of this man
    being slaughtered by the masked terrorists. I couldnt help but cover
    my mouth and widen my eyes. I wanted to cry but i felt it wouldnt
    solve anything, at that moment i realized eveything that i have been
    taking for granted. My family, my friends, even the people i dont like
    or disagree with. i didnt come here to preach to you people but after
    seeing what saw and then coming here for a somewhat healthy
    conversation with this group and seeing posting with people saying
    such horrible, degrading, superfluous things.. i cant help but feel
    that we are no better than the linux-using faggots.

    thank you.

    Love your sig. Animals is the best Pink Floyd album. But, you left out the best part of that line from the Dogs. It's the part that every corporate-ladder-climbing-scumbag engages in:

    "You have to be trusted by the people that you lie to... ...So that when they turn their backs on you, you'll get the chance to put the knife in"
