They really did play at the last LinuxWorld Expo. A lot of people apparently weren't so pleased (it was loud; they wanted to talk) but I thought it kicked ass.
SGI's designs are more than just pretty. They work really well. The O2 case, for example, makes it trivial to switch hard drives and expansion cards without opening the case.
I'm not sure why SGI articles on Slashdot are always accompanied by negative editorial comments from the/. folks. They make great hardware, they've got great technology, and they're actually making a profit. Sure, they're not taking the world be storm, but that's not the same thing as being on the verge of collapse.
It's my understanding (someone correct me if I'm wrong!) that shares are allocated in blocks of 100, so that someone who has placed a small offer has just as much chance as someone who has placed a larger one.
Just got off the phone with E*Trade. Expected price hasn't changed (still $10-12), but the expected date is now more specific: August 11. (Not merely "the week of August 9".)

The reply would be received in the company's computer, not in the original sender's message box."

If that's the case, why don't they ask how much you're planning to invest? I'm not a multimillionaire, but a few thousand dollars just means I'll have to wait several more months to buy that digital camera I've been wanting.
Oh yeah, that guy sure proves that this system works.
The problem isn't that they're restrictive -- the problem is that their restrictions are ridiculous. Investing $1500 of my savings in an IPO -- even a particularly risky one -- is not the same as day trading with borrowed money.
They don't deny you via the postal service. That's done via the web page. Same goes for rejecting your application -- it's done instantly, so I reallllly doubt a human ever sees it.
I know that investing in Red Hat is a risk. I'm not doing this to get rich; I want to put some of my money into a company I care about. If the stock doesn't do wonderfully initially, that's fine with me. And if they fail completely, well, it's not like I've staked my entire life savings on it.

No. But it is legal to look at how something works and make a duplicate. (As long as you aren't infringing on any patents, which is a different issue.)
No, they're required to "know their customers". The little test is something E*TRADE came up with. There's no law which says they have to restrict based on certain qualifications. (This, by the way, is why it's "okay" to lie on the form. It's not like you're cheating the SEC.) It seems like if you're a "friend of Red Hat", they by definition know you.

The company suits decide "The world is moving to NT. We must move to NT."
The techs, of course, respond with "Oh god no." So they push Linux as an alternate hot, emergent technology -- one that doesn't suck.
The best parts of Irix technology can be moved into Linux, they can still make awesome hardware, the company does well, and everybody's happy.

Actually, I don't either, given the recent tech IPO flops...

And no, I'm not a stock market expert, but on the other hand, I'm not stupid. I'm not going to invest more than I can afford to lose.
