  1. I joined a tech company just pre-IPO on Tech Stocks Rollercoaster - How Was Your Ride? · · Score: 1
    Stock went out at $20, peaked at $60 on day one and is now (9 months on) at just over $3. I get to buy at $3 and have 5000 options.

    So it's made no difference at all to me, other than disappointment and a small sense of having missed that boat...

    As long as it doesn't rain at the end again - which had me nearly giving water to the dead when I saw it.

    Girl with me just didn't get it.

    Hopefully we'll get the miniseries in the UK.

    It's probably one of the best things on UK TV these days.

    An absolute must in my ever so 'umble opinion.

    Why?

    Because it's already impossible for two geeks to agree the best way to open a car door, let alone formulate a collective bargaining process across so many disparate companies and industrial sectors.

    That's why.

  7. Re:Guinness didn't want to be remembered for Obi W on Sir Alec Guinness Dies · · Score: 1
    Well it must have been an opinion shared by others in the cast/crew as several more people involved (some at a relatively lowly level) also worked for a precentage (or, more likely, a fraction of one)

    Still, even one quarter of one percent of the total profits from Star Wars (et al) since 1977 would keep me in expensive Italian toys....

  12. Re:lara croft girl on Hump Day Quickies · · Score: 1

    So where does it say she has implants? 32DD just means she's a slim girl with big boobs. And she does say that she walked off one shoot becase she was told she needed to lose weight. She prefers lingerie and swimwear modelling to fashion as that way she can eat more than 4 vitamin pills a day FFS!
