I've had trouble using Mozilla on Intel's website and emailed Intel. I received the following reply:
"Thank you for your recent email to the Intel® Channel Member Support Team inquiring about the Intel website.
To view these pages please use the Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator web browsers. These are the only two web browsers supported on the Intel website."
So, Mozilla, Firefox, Opera, etc. browsers are not supported by Intel. On the other hand, AMD was a little more forward thinking in their site design.
Assuming you have been given a million dollars worth of options but you can't exercise your options for 2 years. What do you do, wait around till the stock's in the toilet and you're penniless? Hell no! That's the time to preserve your captital by hedging your position. Buy put options or get creative with another derivative contract that will protect your interests. The thing that amazes me the most about the dotcom bust is how people just sat by and let their riches turn to dust.
The number of shares one buys has nothing to do with whether one is a speculator or investor. There are people who open forex acounts with $50, believe it or not. But you're right that investors are interested in the long term and speculators are generally interested in short term profits.
However, I'll disagree on your characterization of stock ownership as a loan to the company. You are, in fact, buying a part of the company (a share) when you purchase the stock. The company may or may not choose to distribute future profits as dividends. It may instead reinvest those profits in development of new products and infrastructure in order to increase the value of the company, thus increasing the value of the stock.
Lastly, re your characterization of speculators as filth, speculators are essential to the success of commodity markets. Consider a farmer who must sell his crops to earn sufficient money to feed his family. He may purchase options that give him the right to sell his crop at a price that will enable him to earn a profit, even if the market price of the crop drops due to overproduction (good weather, other farmers growing same crop). Someone must take the other side of that option transaction, and that person is a speculator.
Not that they should. Nothing is known about the direction the stock will take post-IPO. It could easily drop 25-50% in the first few days. The market for technical issues is negative right now.
There are different approaches to timing entry into a stock. Technical analysis assumes that all information about a stock is factored into the price. Indicators based on prior price history are used to determine trend. Proponents of the method say the price movement is a manifestation of crowd behavior.
Fundamental analysts study the companies financials, such as trends in earnings, price to sales ratio, profit margin, return on equity, etc.
Another approach is to find companies that are likely to profit from long term major trends in technology and/or society.
As for the Google IPO, there is no stock history on which to base a technical analysis. One might argue whether the fundamentals make the investment worthwhile, and the third approach takes a very long term view, so there is no good reason to jump on board immediately.
Lastly, if you are considering buying this IPO in speculation of it going up significantly in the next few days, have the mental fortitude to set a stop loss below your entry point and get the hell out if it drops to that point, or you stand to lose a lot of money, fast. This is no market for amateurs.
Visible light comes through the window and is absorbed by materials which start radiating that energy as IR. Auto glass is better at transmission of visible light than IR, so inside of car gets hotter. If true, it would help to have better IR transmission than to limit IR transmission.
Never sign a contract under the assumption that it might not be enforceable. You would still have a legal fight on your hands, and those aren't cheap. Instead, make it clear that you have IP that is your own and any agreements re ownership of IP must exclude those specific projects/ideas you've developed.
Yep. If you want to know how well their sales are doing just run an inventory scan once a week. Only problem may be the distance requirement. If the tags are very short range, it's harder to scan an aisle full of stuff. But, that makes it harder for a 'baket scan' at the checkout. The price point for tags at which they can be placed on most consumer goods is 5 cents. What is the maximum read range for tags at that price point?
If a reply email is going to be sent with password etc. but you don't want to be spammed, it's useful if you own a domain. Make up a user name (the name of the company asking for your email address) e.g. microsoft@mydomain.com, then if you start getting spammed at that address you know where the spam originated. You can also put an autoreply to mail sent to that address, such as "You're a pest, go away!".
The Apache products/projects have a strong presence in enterprise development because they are high quality and free (beer). However, the same companies that use them often use a commercial enterprise server such as Websphere or Weblogic running on a Unix or Win32 platform. I'm seeing companies avoiding proprietary J2EE extensions in these server products "just in case" they want to deploy on Linux + JBoss. You can run these commercial servers on Linux, but the easiest route to do so often involves purchase of a non-free Linux distro.
Since it is pretty easy to electrolyze it into hydrogen and oxygen and use the hydrogen to lift a balloon over a populated area with [insert mode of destruction here].
The probability of it being hit twice is not the same as the probability of being hit again. The probability of flipping a coin and it coming up heads is always.5, regardless of the number of times it has been flipped. However, the odds of my flipping the coin twice and it coming up heads both times is.5 *.5 =.25. Likewise, if the probability of the house being hit once is p, the probability of it being hit again is also p, and the probability of the house being hit twice is p*p.
Nobody can read that with a straight face. You have people being forced to switch to broadband to download the patches required to keep their systems from being taken over.
Perhaps they should pass out patch CDs on their tour.
Bellsouth has a dsl lite option for about $25/mo, which is pretty competitive with dialup. Cable may compete pricewise with dsl providers where it makes sense to do so, i.e. they are sufficiently down marketshare wise.
One driver for increased broadband usage is the need of Microsoft OS users to constantly download huge patch files to fix the security hole of the week.
What is needed is a heat exchange mechanism in the base to transfer heat to a radiator in the rear of the laptop, sort of like those liquid cpu coolers. Use USB to power a small pump to cycle the coolant. So maybe a couple sheets of copper or aluminium, with a few feet of copper tubing in the sandwich, and a small pump, then a small radiator in the back.

Great suggestion. But, before you decide which legal entity to form, discuss the tax implications with an accountant.

In a paper published back in '98 RFID was proposed extensively in everything from luggage tracking to passenger tracking.

Hunting is made out to be a justification for gun ownership. This is wrong. The justification for gun ownership is the defense of Liberty.
Last time I checked, 2nd Amendment didn't mention hunting.

I developed a car wax that aborbs radar wavelengths. Unfortunately it has to be a few centimeters thick to work.
It's pretty common in gas balloons in Europe and the gas balloon race that is flown during the Albuquerque balloon festival permits hydrogen balloons.
