"It is wrong to assume that any one time frame or bias (eg. long positions only) is inherently more successful."
You make some good points, but study after study after study have shown that long term investors make significantly more than short-term. It doesn't mean someone CAN'T make a ton of money doing short-term trades, but it IS fair to assume that one time frame is inherently more successful, because it has been proven to be so!
Going to another woman who is into sleeping with computer geeks is like the blind and catatonic leading the blind. Take advice at least from someone who has given head to someone who has RECEIVED it more than once.
If you count being an online diarist as being a blogger, there were thousands of "early bloggers" at the same time as her, a lot of them more interesting.
As for the no "Geeks In Space" thing.. Oh man, I'm sorry, I can't even narrow my answer down to one wisecrack on that one.
So, you are arguing against a solid example of why it can NOT be done with no example of how it actually could be done, just a bad analogy that doesn't really apply in this case?
Seth Godin is more than just some bloke who wrote a book on Google, he's not some corporate shill for MSN, look him up.
And yes the technology is important, but it can be replicated (and bettered!) by a big company, it's not a panacea that will keep any company in the forefront. See: Apple vs. Microsoft.
I tried the beta of Typepad.com and it's what you want, photo albums, blog stuff, all hosted and very easy to use for beginners, but with the power of Movable Type. Costs a bit, but you can add a domain name to it for them even, very nice.

If you've ever run a business you know, unfortunately, that the production cost is not the baseline where everything above it is profit. As much as everyone on slashdot loves to believe that CDs should all cost 5 cents, DVDs should cost 25 cents, whatever, there are additional costs involved in bringing products to market.
That might be an okay example, but by looking at how Apple treated the people (non-employees) who created Watson by just ripping it off wholesale and basing a new Sherlock on it, I think you're hoping a little too much there.
I don't believe you, spammers don't use their real return addresses, and if they did, the amount of bounces your email would create would be nothing compared to the other bounces they got, a fraction of one percent, they'd never bother sending you death threats. My guess is you just posted this to link your website. Nice try.
I believe he showed the graphs at the given times because those were the start points where slashdot people either lauded or panned the company very vocally.
A huge 10-4 on the compatibility thing, Apple now routinely releases software that won't run on the first flat-panel iMacs which came out what, 18 months ago? All this jaguar-only stuff, I don't get it, Apple is obsessed with limiting who can use their software. The new iPods state on the box that they only run in system 10.1.5 onwards, a total trick to make you upgrade, even though they still work with system 9. And even if they didn't, why would I spend $150 on a copy of Jaguar or $1500 on a new mac that has it when I could buy a Dell PC for $500 that would run it. Think about that, a DELL costs only 3 times what just Jaguar costs, wtf?
Interesting, didn't know that. I am pretty sure I made pitas page in May 1999, so maybe that history is wrong, but good to know. One thing I do know for sure as someone who was involved in weblogs back then, pitas was definitely the first service anyone knew about. LJ exploded around 2001 or so and got really big, but back in 1999 the choices were Pitas (tons of users right away, mostly teens) and Scripting.com (but noone really understoodf how that worked) and then later, groksoup appeared (but noone used it and it's gone) and then blogger, which became the hugest one.

Just one note, HTTP_REFERRER can be faked easily using any tool that anyone would use to write a script lik this guy did.

Yes. You were.

That's an awesome tip, thanks a lot for that reply, I appreciate it!

How about relatively crappy? Compared to what came after it. The same way that in 10 years, the Google of 2003 will look crappy.

Wait, you need a newer PERL to get it to run best, is that correct?
Exactly, because this is slashdot, where spin is king.
Thank you for beating me to this, awesome post.

Maybe on his site, harassing them publicly? But good question.
Mod this up to +5, TIMELY!!
Just for clarity: paypal doesn't charge 15%. Maybe on very small fees it works out to 15% though.
With 1.5 billion bucks coming in this year alone, I think 15 billion is a pretty fair cap for google.

How would they be selling short by buying stock? Selling short is where you borrow stock and then buy it later.

Come on, it's not like we could have found this information any other way, it's not like we have access to the internet or anything.
Next on slashdot: There's a website named Yahoo.com, I'll explain what's on the front page.
