It's still traded on Nasdaq Small-Cap, which means there's a market maker, and hence a bid and ask that aren't completely rediculous (probably a spread of around 10 cents). Therefore there is never a time during market hours when there is no buyer at any price. No trades may be executed even when there is a MM, but on an average day SCOX has 32 thousand shares trading hands, and 127 thousand traded today within a trading range of 30 cents. Hence there were buyers for 127,000 shares. Sure, it could be the MM taking up those shares, but the MM wouldn't do it unless there was a perceived value around the current market price.
The problem with changing spellings is that the more we do it, the less the current generation can comprehend writings from the past. Isn't it nice that we can still read Shakespeare's works 400 years after they were published? But writings just 200 years before that, such as Chaucer's, are very difficult to read because there wasn't a yet standardized language. The reason there was no standardization during Chaucer's time, though, was because it was difficult for language to travel long distances. Hence it did not become standardized across regions. But now that we have television, and the Internet, it would be a shame if we changed our language. It would move us away from our cultural heritage linguistically.
The public deserves well designed land use. Well designed land use means decreasing sprawl and its related pollution, and putting office buildings, hotels, and other things that citizens use in places that make sense. So if there's a sprawling residential neighborhood sitting right in the middle of a growing urban area, the public deserves it to be replaced with something that makes sense for the people.
The SCOTUS just declared that the local governments in areas like I mentioned should have the right to make those kinds of decisions. It doesn't mean that Walmart can take any land it wants.
I salute this decision. It's one more step towards reducing sprawl!
Usually it's cheaper to look at history than to rediscover problems others have already found. Most entrepreneurs would prefer not to spend their time and money creating start-ups that will fail.
Yes, which is why I'd need something like a license plate to inform Linux geeks that I'm one of them. Otherwise the Linux "mob" would beat the shit out of me.
Unfortunately this post was one of my more obscure jokes so I'm not surprised it hasn't been moderated... though a Troll could have happened for the reason you stated:).
This one is especially awful. Luxury cars have become way too cheap. Seriously, if any family that can afford college can afford a luxury car, is it really a luxury anymore??
Keep in mind that both Sony and Microsoft make most of their profits from licensing fees relating to game sales. So if Sony opened up their next generation console to Microsoft XBOX 1 games, they would stand to lose revenue.
And I could never consider being a BSD proponent, because it allows that someone to fork off a closed copy, modify it, distribute it, and coercively halt others from doing the same to that fork.
The same thing could happen with no copyrights. The only thing keeping GPL documents free is that they must remain free or the copyright owner does not grant people the right to modify and redistribute their creations. Without copyrights, all GPL'ed source could be used in whatever way people want without the copyright owner's permission. Thus, GPLed code would basically be BSD licensed.
By the way, Boeing agrees with you and that's why they aren't building a plane to compete with Airbus's. But Airbus says that hub-to-hub flights will grow, especially in Europe and internationally, so they're building these super planes as a more economical way to fly 500+ people.

Problem is, if you are caught holding the stock today, you are going to be hard pressed to find anyone who will buy it.
Actually, there are people who will buy it. Otherwise SCOX's stock wouldn't be at $3.70/share. It would be at zero.
Does your girlfriend know you still post to Slashdot?

Were things between you and your ex-wife good before you got married? Did you see any warnings signs?
Sorry to ask but I'd just like to know for my own reference. Thanks!

Wouldn't you rather have an Avalanche? I hear it's supposed to make it easier to get Windows updates :).

Good idea, but should it be done in Latin, or in Perl?
The sonic booms are caused by the engine noise waves bunching up at the event horizon. If the engine noise is reduced than so is the sonic boom.
Are you proposing a beowulf cluster???
How many Library of Congresses is that?
Yes, which is why I'd need something like a license plate to inform Linux geeks that I'm one of them. Otherwise the Linux "mob" would beat the shit out of me.

Mob??? My MANDRIVA vanity license plate better arrive before Linux geeks get all Reginald Denny on me!
It's likely due to stock options. Apple's stock has been on an amazing run over the last 2 years.
Tuition/yr costs as much as a luxury car
This one is especially awful. Luxury cars have become way too cheap. Seriously, if any family that can afford college can afford a luxury car, is it really a luxury anymore??
What do you find cumbersome today? :)
And nose!
I think you're old enough to start spelling "lose" correctly, don't you?
But don't you think some articles without conclusions are good too?

By that logic, shouldn't your username be KillerRobot?
Where are today's articles about Google!? There's 4 articles about Firefox and nothing, NOTHING, about Google!!
