When I meant exactly when it would implode, I really meant to the accuracy to the quarter. Plus or minus a couple of years doesn't count:)
I started shorting the market late 2006 because house prices were already starting to clearly drop nationwide, but the craziness continued and the market continued to rise into late 2007. Luckily, I held onto them for long enough.
"The market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent."
I mean who didn't realize housing was in a bubble, besides paid economists with special interests or complete morons? It was blindingly obvious since 2005.
I only credit anyone for calling exactly when it would completely implode. That took brains.
Mod parent up. Most people don't realize that stock prices dropping has no impact on the actual company itself, unless it *needs* money and can only raise it via issuing new stock.
1) I have not one, but TWO small children (6 and 8 respectively) with mild-moderate Autism spectrum disorder that are OBSESSED with Noggin.... You DO NOT KNOW what a tantrum is until you have dealt with an Autism tantrum.
...
THANK YOU GREEDY SONOFABITCH VIACOM AND TIME WARNER EXECUTIVES FOR RUINING MY VACATION AND MAKING MY DISABLED CHILDREN MISERABLE, YOU ASSHOLES!
I'll be expecting a refund of my ENTIRE MONTH'S BILL and EVERY MONTH until the Viacom situation is resolved.
Thank you.
(can you tell I'm a tad upset?)
I wonder where your children got the Autism spectrum disorder from.
a) if you worked for the government and are a pervert, just use convicted guy's identity and then you'll be able to do what you want and pin it on someone no jury will believe.
b) if the perv is dumb enough to use the account, he can now make the case that he's not the only one with access to that account, therefore he didn't do it.
Credit Suisse did something like that, by giving their executives bonuses that are in effect tied to the illiquid MBSes that are causing so much trouble.
Really? So if I accidentally shoot someone while hunting, and that person gets hit in the arm and has to have surgery, I should get charged as heavily as if that person got hit in the head and died?
You'll likely get sued regardless of whether they have a case or not. If you have the money to fight it, it will drag on for some time.
If you ever need to raise money, no VC will invest in your company if they know you have a potential legal liability.
Depending on the nature of the software (more likely to happen if its expensive / low volume), your previous company may try to harass your customers too.
It sucks, but its the nature of the game. Unless the current company that you work for isn't willing to do anything quasi-legal to preserve their business.
Most people learn in kindergarten that just because you can get away with doing something wrong doesn't mean you should.
Most people learn in their adult life, that if everyone else is doing something wrong and using that to stay ahead of you and isn't getting caught, you must do the same to stay competitive.
If you aren't Polish, Estonian (maybe one of the other Baltic states, but it's less likely), Ukrainian, or Georgian, I'm going to eat my shoe. The butthurt is strong with this one.
When I saw those shows where they found multiple people not able to find Iraq on the map, I was shocked.
I know stupid/ignorant people exist, but I would figure out those guys reporting it would have to be camping out for days to find that many ignorant people. From the footage (assuming it was on the same day), it seems like they didn't have to spend more than a couple of hours.
... If I caught my kid doing that you can bet his back porch would be a deep scarlet shade of red, but I would laugh in your face if you told me it should be a federal law.
You know that physical discipline of your own children is illegal in most places in the USA, right? (maybe all, not sure if its federal)
Hook up the battery to an inverter (to make 115V AC)
Plug light into inverter.
Why not skip this bit, and use a lower-voltage bulb? An LED array might be best, for the very low power needed. Even better yet, skip the battery, the inverter and the panel, and install a window / skylight.:)
Median cost of a home in Cupertino: $649,000. I never believe these statistics. If you buy a home in Cupertino for 649,000, you are getting a 1000-sqft 2 bedroom condo at best

The American Astronomical Society (AAS) is not the same thing as the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS).
Are you sure its not the American Science Society?

This is pissing me off TO NO END.

Try using VMware converter to convert it into a vmdk, and then run it on virtual box. The free version should let you do that.

You could save the money on a lawyer.

I don't know...
And give radiation poisoning to everyone in the theater, sure.
Whoosh!
Yes, the rates the carriers charge for SMS's have risen *that* much...

Ok, Futile Rhetoric, where's the youtube link?
Laptops matter.
Desktops don't really.
but servers do, which is what AMD was targeting for the quad core and where AMD was destroying Intel when the various Athlons first came out.

... Looks like all the likely candidates contain gallium, and gallium is not known to play nice to other metals - corrodes them etc.
I was actually wondering as well, so I actually read the linked wiki article on Liquid metal embrittlement: From the article:
Exceptions to this rule have been observed, as in the case of aluminium in the presence of liquid gallium.[1]
don't forget also the hit to employee morale.
For the rest of the day my mouth tasted like a cat's piss. Vile stuff.
And, er, how would you know what cat's piss tastes like?
