The stock has split since the last time you were paying attention.
Wrong.
MSFT has split many times but not since around 2000 when it hit it's high of around $60. Since then it's been stuck in the trading range you see it in.
The current issue of Scientific American has an article discussing carbon sequestration
I read the article and it seemed to me like pumping the CO2 underground was an extraordinarily bad idea. (Unless you are trying to kill millions of people by catastrophic releases of CO2, which would help with the energy problem a bit.)
The article talked about the field being saturated after 10 years and was really light on details about what would ultimately happen to that CO2.
Where are these posters coming from, the ones trying to trivialize the evilness of spam?
Are they spammers trying to justify their existence? Maybe some of them have relatives in the spam business, or have worked in the business? Are they just the kinds of people that go out in the street early in the morning and sing LA-LA-LA and spin in circles?
How can any right thinking person not realize that spammers have cost us a lot, a whole lot more than any one person has figured out yet.
How can you add up the number of people that have changed their world view, their opinion of their fellow human beings because of the outrageous behavior of these spammers.
Lets say you are the kind of person that likes to help other people so you hang out on Usenet in help groups. Or maybe you put together some web pages just to share stuff with the rest of the world. Then one day you find that what seemed to be a logical thing to do, using your real email address has opened you up to a world of hurt. You get hundreds of spam messages a day. Maybe that person starts to think those strangers that he was helping aren't such nice people after all.
Do you think there is a cost to that?
Come on now, enough of this "not so bad" crap. Get yourself justifiably outraged.
Sure they still have assets left over from the monopoly days, but they are rapidly disappearing. I hope SBC doesn't want them for their management skills, they have made some of the dumbest decisions in the business world. (IBM holds the record for picking MS to build their PC OS.)
Right behind it was AT&Ts decision to give in during the antitrust trial because they wanted to go into the computer business.
Lately AT&T has been selling every part of their business that has a chance of success, cable, wireless.
I say, let them die, they seem to have a death wish.
It seems to me that at least some black holes will rotate. A shrinking object of a constant mass should spin faster and faster. Since the black hole is extremely rigid and probably shrinks a lot, I would guess the surface at the equator would regularly approach the speed of light.
When the surface approaches/reaches the speed of light, the only way to not exceed the speed of light is to leave the black hole. Quickly.
Very quickly.
Reaching the speed of light probably does weird things to space and time making it possible for matter to leave the black hole.
I don't get it, they talk about painting this stuff onto some surface. In order to carry the charge away I think you need to connect wires to the positive and negative polls of the charge generator.
How can I say this nicely? Believe me, I'm struggling with it.
This is a load of bull. For years these telemarketers were 90% of the calls I recieved and now you want to help this slime get back in business.
There is NOTHING I like about telemarketing and I don't appreciate the FTC creating loopholes for these snakes to slither thru.
The only way this would be acceptable to me is if you created another list of people that don't want to recieve these calls, because, believe me, I don't want somebody marketing their junk on my telephone.
Instead of helping out these people, why don't you get on the ball and do something about this SPAM deluge?
Sooner or later the money we spend in India and China will create enough businesses that the Indian and Chinese programmers will be busy writing code for companies in their own countries.
At least I hope so.
Meanwhile, I think American businessmen should show a little patriotism and keep as much work in this country as they can.
Let that be a career lesson. Unless you are the boss, it rarely makes sense to make any comment about corporate security, no matter how silly something may seem.
If a fully automatic car was developed, I think that could spell the end of individual car ownership.
I know we all love our cars, but we build way too many of them. Most of them sit parked 90% of the time. A fully automatic car could come to us when we need it. With just a fraction of the cars we have now, a car could reach anyone in under a few minutes. You would just push a button and get a fully fueled and serviced SUV or compact as needed.
Thats a good question, here we have people going on and on about the merits of control-x, control-c, etc. and everyone thinks there's nothing wrong with all these control sequences.
How the hell are these things intuitive?
Sun has it right. Look at one of their keyboards. They actually have keys labeled "Copy" and "Paste". I think its amazing that the PC industry hasn't caught on. A PC "Help" key would be nice too.
TV ads work, even in an age of remotes and Tivos, because TV is a passive medium.
TV adds don't work for me. I strongly prefer PBS channels, and yes, I skip the ads they have there too. On commercial TV, the remote is always at hand. I hate those ads.
Besides that, have you ever noticed that your computer equipment is covered with ads?
This add crap is really out of control.
You buy a computer and the computer company just assumes you wouldn't mind using your office as an advertising platform.
I took a roll of masking tape to work and covered every logo on the computer, the monitor, the speakers. The more ads I covered, the more ads I found.
I think you'll find expat works fine on mainframes.
It did for me.
1. You have to code in C.
2. The copy of expat that I got to work had to be
changed in some minor ways for EBCDIC. There
were a few references to x'20' for a space that
had to be changed to just space.
Well, I did. The next thing they did was redirect me to a static page which contains this:
Want help with computer and Web browser requirements needed to access janus.com?
I'm sorry, I'm about to hand over a substantial amount of money to these fools and I feel like I'm being patronized. The words "requirements" and "needed" don't sound to me like "recommended". What to they sound like to you?
Why should a bank have anything on their site that requires a specific browser? Its not a game site, its a bank. As long as they stick to some very simple rules, any browswer will work.

As with many other problems, the answer is duct tape.
Simply let the passengers on board and then duct tape them to the chair. They can have all the weaponry with them they want.
Here in NJ no one walks to school. Hell, they don't walk to the end of the driveway for the school bus.
I love getting stuck behind a school bus, then as the bus pulls away, I get to watch some humongous SUV back up the driveway to the house.
I'm sorry, did you just ask how Bush's belief in judgement day is sensible?
What kind of question is that?
You seem to be missing the point.

Looking at AT&Ts balance sheet tells a sad tale.
Sure they still have assets left over from the monopoly days, but they are rapidly disappearing. I hope SBC doesn't want them for their management skills, they have made some of the dumbest decisions in the business world. (IBM holds the record for picking MS to build their PC OS.)

Now you've done it, some lisper is probably already at it.

Well then proceed at your own risk.

To be L33T, you'd need to know that the code used for punched cards is Hollerith.

I've been wondering how I could get Mozilla to open a tab in the background. From reading the article, now I know, you use Shift button 2. Great.
Now if I could figure out how to rearrange the tabs.
1. You have to code in C.
2. The copy of expat that I got to work had to be changed in some minor ways for EBCDIC. There were a few references to x'20' for a space that had to be changed to just space.

Yep, $100. No wonder you're posting as an AC.
Bull.
