But the first board is tainted in a sense. $31 was a great deal. $33 was even better. Asking for $40 was just greedy and it bit them in the ass. Yahoo is a $19 stock and if investors want to make 50% return than they should sell off to MS. Icahn isn't going to get screwed over.
This isn't a free speech issue but a popular speech issue. I see a ton of people coming out saying O&A should be allowed to say whatever they want. I didn't see this much support for Imus. I didn't see petitions to same him on slashdot at least.
I never respond to/. articles but it seems dozens of people posting and getting modded up got it so wrong. I'm seeing mass torture, escalating violence, and other problems with using this device. I'm also seeing people saying how Tasers are horrible too. This device (and the taser) is a good thing and here is why...it gives the army and the police more choices. Like it or not but the police and army WILL decide when a crowd needs to be dispersed no matter the tools they have to do it. They need to keep the peace after all. When they make this decision its better they have more tools to do the job.
Lets say two towns in the US have crowds getting out of control. In Town A, the police have only clubs, fire hoses, and guns. In Town B, the police have clubs, fire hoses, guns, tear gas, rubber bullets, bean bags, and this new wave weapon. Which police department do you believe has the better chance on solving the problem with minimal long term and short term impact to the police AND crowd? If I was caught in that mess as either a policeman or in the crowd I would wish for the police to have the tools to make better choices. Sometimes rioting crowds just need some encouragement to disperse. Other times its an all out battle and you need every tool to get out of that mess without the loss of human life.
I grew up in East Lansing and remember riots after basketball games. Riots occur and this is another tool to keep help solve the problem.
This happens to me at my office a lot. Co-workers forwarding interesting links and they just disappear. Happens once a week. So their filter is probably as good as a spam filter. Get hundreds of messages and occasionally lose one.
All I know is that Israel had the power to destroy that entire country and Hezbollah's only ability was to hide. The peace terms has Hezbollah disarming, giving back Israel soldiers, and leaving the land it occupied. Don't the winners of the war dictate the terms or at least have the upper hand in negotiations? From what I see Israel can still do whatever the hell it wants but Hezbollah is under the microscope to play nice.
"an irregular group of poorly equiped partisans handily defeating the regions reigning superpower backed by the world's real superpower, the U.S. It's a genuine modern-day David vs. Goliath story (all irony intended)."
Why do people say Israel was defeated by Hezbollah. Lebanon's land was taken, people massacred, economy was crippled, and they had no counter attack. Hezbollah beat the spread but I wouldn't say they defeated Israel.
People always talk about how AMD doesn't have the capacity to supply the world with chips. Why can't AMD just outsource the manufacturing if their demand is greater? I heard someone say that AMD just now got the capacity to supply DELL with chips but is this true? Thanks for any help.
So when its global warming you want us to set an example as a "world leader" but when we want to do something on our agenda we are called a bully. No one wants one country to have so much power and influence so take it to the UN.
Simply from the fact that our society praises the biggest, strongest, and most beautiful. Just because bowling is popular doesn't mean we recognise the best. I think gaming will be the same where it will have a following but never such fame as football, baseball, basketball, or hockey. I highly doubt computer gaming will ever have a Brett Favre, Michael Jordon, and Barry Bonds that commentators talk about 24/7.
Perhaps because poverty during those revolutions days consisted of very few sets of cloths, dirty cloths, disease, sickness, small living enviroment, no car, no cell phone, no internet access, no food, no clean water, the list goes on.
Go to myspace.com and look up a ghetto, you see people in "poverty" sporting their bling earings, upgraded rims, cool outfits, want you to call them up on their new cell phone.
Poverty in America compared to poverty before a revolution is night and day. The person in poverty driving a 10 year old car still has a lot to lose.
Well Warren Buffett would say to cut your losers and let your winners ride. Why people insist on selling the winner and holding the loser is beyond me. That is usually bad investment advice.
But with that said, as a day trader I would dump it before the conference call or at least cover half to 3/4 your position. Let the profits ride if you really want the excitement. But the problem here is the hype is built in so if the hype doesn't pan out you are back to square one. If the hype seems to be true its already priced in and might not go up too much further. If I had 1,000 shares I would cover between 500-1000 no doubt. Maybe hold 100-300 in case its revolutionizes the battery world.
America is a service economy. Who cares if Lord of the Rings is made in a differencet country. Who published it? Where does the big money end up. I imagine most of the time the big movie ends up in some major movie company in the US.
Microsoft dominates computer. America makes the best/most successful drugs. Coca Kola, McDonalds, Starbucks, Walmart, General Motors, Yahoo, Amazon, Google, GE, Exxon, etc. The list goes on and on. Huge US corporations that dominate industries. While the product made be made somewhere else you can bet the money ends up in the hands of US executives, shareholders, and US taxes.
While another country will end up overtaking the US it just doesn't seem to be happening any time soon. Americans are hard working and our government protects our financial interests. Our culture, taxes, government, and whole system is setup to make more money than everyone else. Europeans laid back attitude, Japan's backword banking system, and China's communist nature don't seem to be putting any pressure on who leads the world.
I was and at my college the smartest kids got their ass kissed and was asked for help for homework/tests. Sure class clowns and funny people get attention at social situations but when you are spending between $25k-$100k in college you don't aspire to be the idiot who has a communications major. You strive to get good grades to get a great job to jump ahead of every kid who never went to college in the first place.
I'm not sure if my arguement stands for community college because its much cheaper and easily taken as a joke (although my parents did it seriously and turned out well)
ah, my other favorite part of/., the anon cowards who take comments and rip them apart because the person mistyped even though everyone knew what they meant to say.
Actually I didn't mean report the bugs, I really did mean to fix them. Break into the google HQ, hack into their computers, and find the bug and squash it.
Seriously, off my nut sack anonymous and sign up if you want to say something worth my time.
This is still a free beta email service. I can't believe I am reading a complaint about a beta service. You are there to fix bugs and offer suggestions.
"Will we be seeing controls on browsers that can view gmail next?"
they wont even attempt 1-4 you see? and if they can't do 5min of simple updating then how can they learn linux? Unless learning a new OS takes less than 5min its not for my parents.
1.) Keep their anti-virus up to date 2.) Stop clicking on email attachments from people they don't know 3.) Run spybot/ad-aware to clean up their computer 4.) Run windows update once every six months
Then how can you expect them to learn the linux operating system? I do all of the above and more and my system has never had a worm or trojan (and I dont use anti-virus software to boot, i just watch what runs on my computer and keep it patched). It took me weeks to get my dad to write his email NOT in the subject box. Trying to get his spyware infested box over to linux? UNPOSSIBLE!:)
" The classic "yelling 'Fire!' in a theater" example is a case where saying something untrue that puts others in danger can be a criminal act."
Another good example is writing in a book that the government should be overthrown compared to telling a group of 10,000 angry people in Washington D.C. that the government should be overthrown. One will cause a mob and violence will a book will provoke thought and most likely not cause violence.
For once we don't have Ashcroft destroying our freedom, instead its the euros!!!
My password for my computer science computer in college was M3talM4n. Just like my online nick, metalman. So I would tell people my password but unless they spent a while to think and guess for it they would fail.

I didn't know &PARNTER=GOOGLE could give me the link. I guess I missed the memo. So I am thankful. But since you knew that already you should have passed the comment by and not said anything. Instead you become this whiny little bitch for no reason.

Google is growing at a faster rate. Also they have better execution. That is the reason for the premium to Yahoo.
MSFT does pay out dividends and MSFT is close to a 52 week high. Its doesnt have GOOG's strength (or apples) but its not exactly heading down either.
