  1. Re:Reverse splits are commonplace in the new econo on Mandrake IPO Successful · · Score: 1

    Webvan went under before they could do the reverse split. Iomega has not done the split yet. Egghead has not either. Nor nor has 24/7 . Quokka is out of buisness now. Reverse splits are widely seen as the dying gasp for a company.

  2. Re:Ummm don't track me thanks on Using Cell Devices To Monitor Traffic Flow · · Score: 1

    Most of the ideas for GPS in phones that I have seen require you to be in a call for the GPS to turn on. If the GPS is on all the time the phone you will have to recharge your phone a lot more often that you do now. So it would be pretty difficult to track cars usefully this way.

  3. Re:Criminal CEO's Golden Parachute on Webvan Out Of Gas · · Score: 1

    You do know why he got such a huge parachute don't you? It was because he had to leave his previous job at which he was really set. He would not have left without a guarentee like that.

  7. Re:The passward is electrifing on The Psychology of Passwords · · Score: 1

    I have about 20 passwords to rember for things like work, ATM, voice mail, back accounts. A lot of these also have some account name also ascociated with it. I don't know about you but I have to write these down or I will forget.

  8. Re:an interesting perspective on Senator Says Spammers Have First-Amendment Rights · · Score: 1

    Is there really such a thing as a verified email address? I mean the whole point a spam being a problem is that it costs them the same amount to send to 5 or 50,000 people so do you think they put much work into getting only real email addresses?

  9. Re:It's simple on Senator Says Spammers Have First-Amendment Rights · · Score: 1

    I paid for my physical mailbox on my house. I have to pay for my garbage service to take away the junk mail that I throw out. It cost me time to go through my junk mail. Email is just much cheaper than physical mail to send. Are you saying that It should be more expensive to send email?
