a company's valuation has as much, if not more, to do with how well it is managed as how well its products are received.
The real measure of a companies valuation is its' final earnings divided by its share price. The PE ratio is about the only real measure of a companies value. The earnings aspect of the PE can only be taken on what has been earnt and reported. Anything else is pure speculation. There is, of course, a need to introduce speculation about a companies future earnings, especially when valuing companies whos business is not always certain into the future, eg mining, IP-companies, etc, or companies who are growing their earnings... the guess work with google is how far into the future it can keep the earnings growing, as growth can not continue infinitely.
Google is indeed one of the new media companies and past history dealing with the valuation of media companies has involved an additional factor besideds pure profit. This additional factor is the influence that the company holds over the population. This influence can be seen in companies like NewsCorp through its fox-news channel and the ability for it to throw elections. Joe-six-pack believes the TV and news paper... his mind is open to propaganda... google has the potential to tap into his mind and fill it with propaganda... this is the extra value incorporated into the google share price that can not be desribed by traditional methods such as the PE ratio.
This is theory, and not proof. We have to wait for this to either be proved or disproved.
Yes, that is a theory. If you use to much pot then you can develop a tempory schizophrenic like mental illness. IOW, marijuana induced psycosis.
How much is to much? Well, that all depends on the individual, however, 1-in-4 people are at risk of developing long term problems if they use to much of the stuff. Problems generally start to show up if it is used more than once every two weeks.
If pot is used in a safe way, then it is a safe recreational drug. If pot is used to much, ie more than once a week, then it can cause some nasty problems.
Our dear Mr. Torrent has knowingly been operating in a gray area. So, common sense would say, perhaps he should watch his mouth.
I concur, insofar as his vocal actions are concerned, but will this also need to be extended to his actions of writing code? Could this require him to cease any further work on BT? While it will not be a legally binding "cease and desist", it could very well be a c&d by proxy as he now has to tread evermore softly for fear of those who buy the law.
I understand that it is not directly the fault of individuals like yourself. It's the system, and the system needs changing. It's very hard for me to suggests changes as I have very little idea of the inner workings of your political system and exactly what needs fixing. I do wish you and your fellow citizens the best of luck in fixing things before it gets much worse. I do hope that you can fix it before things reach a point of no return, at which stage revolutionary procedings will have to take place for any changes to be enacted.
Did you read all of his site? Did you notice that the section where he posted article in reference was under "musings"? Did you read the other posts under the title "musings"? Did you also notice that there was a section on his site with other postings titled "serious writings"? Did you happen to read those and compare the overall differences within the ghist of his postings? Do you think a jury of of average intelligence would be able to understand the difference? Which way would a judge rule? If the {MP,RI}AA,BSA takes up action against Bram, they could make things particularly nasty, twist his words and remove his right to free speech as he would henceforth be in fear of incriminating himself.
hey I just thought something, if he is now at risk of arrest for saying something what happened to free speech
Soon people will be afraid to even speak for fear of being locked up... remember when people used to laugh about the old USSR and how people there would be locked up for speaking about something, remember nazi germany when neighbours would just "vanish" overnight, never to be seen again. American citizens, this is why the rest of the world has problems with your country. Go on, mod me a troll, but you know... its really true.
My initial thought was that MS was only buying it for the staff as well. Those guys at Claria have a real grasp of writing code for MS products and could probably do a lot for the MS codebase.
Back in 1985 a man named Dowling was prosecuted for the Interstate Transportation of Stolen Property for selling infringing copies of Elvis records. U.S. Supreme Court in DOWLING v. UNITED STATES, 473 U.S. 207 (1985) http://caselaw.lp.findlaw.com/scripts/getcase.pl?n avby=search&court=US&case=/us/473/207.html struck this down because copyright infringement is not theft.
You have to deprive your victim of the item in order to steal it from them. You have to steal something to commit theft. Making copies doesn't deprive anyone of what it being copied, therefore its not theft.

While I agree that currently the only substantial use for trackerless P2P is IP theft.

No. Dividing by zero would increase the number of people who know. As x approaches zero, y tends to infinity, unless you use a different funtion to represent the growth... ie
The compilation of GCC 3 times is part of a process to create a toolchain. The toolchain dereferences the host system. By creating a seperate toolchain it is hoped that all hard coded reference to the host system are removed when building the final LFS system. This allows the creation of the LFS system that will not crash when a hardcoded path from the original host is referenced.
True... windows is simple... like those cameras that came out of Japan during the 80s, the only thing required to operate it is a PhD (press here dickhead);)

No. Dividing by zero would increase the number of people who know. As x approaches zero, y tends to infinity, unless you use a different funtion to represent the growth... ie
y = tan^-1 x
It's actually more like a
y=tan^-1 x

By having someone placed in a jail cell for thinking, they are effectively exterminating their thoughts.
Got him, yes, piss off, you're out!
The ammount you get is directly related to how many dependant kids you have. More kids = more money. If you have enough kids then you win a free car.
