Sure, but if you're actually financially inept, options trading might not be such a great idea. Besides, you'll have to send in a bunch of forms to your broker and then meet their criteria to be "allowed" to buy/sell options. You'd probably have a much easier time just short-selling the stock. Oh, and you might consider buying Red Hat as well, since SCO's allegation is a burden on them and its resolution should be good for their stock.
So it's not *impossible* to make a replica. It just requires the counterfeiter to have a giant multi-million dollar minting machine the size of a football field.
If Intuit really had any sense, they'd use a more 'razor and blades' strategy. Give away Turbo Tax, and make their money on the electronic filing fees. I typically buy one copy of Turbo Tax, and end up filing over half a dozen returns for friends and family. My filing fee is free with the rebate coupon in the box.
However, if Intuit raised the fee by $5 and gave the software away, in the end they'd get about the same amount of money from me and the friends and family. Also, if the software is free, they don't have to worry about piracy, and also might not have to produce physical CDs for a lot of customers. I'd gladly download it, as I'm sure a lot of other folks would.
Heck, they could even open-source the damn thing, and we'd get Turbo Tax for Linux, and they'd get free programming assistance. A win-win situation!
Oooh, scary!! Big Brother knows so many frightening personal details about me:
I listen to A Perfect Circle, and Billy Joel. (bought CDs from both weekend before last) My dogs are on a diet, I don't eat meat very often, and we've had a party recently. (low-cal dog food, soy burger substitutes, and a case of beer at the grocery) I drive an economical car. (gas station stops only every other week) My daughter has a bunch of Dr. Seuss books.
I could go on, but I doubt that I've bought anything that reveals deeply personal information. Sure, advertisers might be interested in the demographics, but ads are so ubiquitous now that the only way to avoid them is to crawl under a rock and die.
You pay with cash if you want to, but I don't want the hassle of carrying the bills around, dealing with the change, and so forth. Besides, 2% of every purchase I make goes into my daughter's college fund. And just about *everything* the family needs or wants each month is charged. That's a lot of money I'd be throwing away for a tiny gain in privacy.
Pay attention. No one is taliking about going to $5 or $10 coins, just $1.
I'd love to have $1 coins for drink machines, especially since the bill acceptors only work %25 of the time (which, of course, is partially a result of how non-durable paper money is).
The speakers through which most Britney Spears fans play her music would be hard-pressed to produce 50Hz sounds at any reasonable amplitude, much less infrasound. FM radio most likely won't even carry infrasound, and you can forget a PC speaker ever producing any significant levels.
The only person free of pollution tax would be some guy living in a shack in the mountains eating small animals...
I'm pretty sure you'd have to count his poop as pollution. If he stopped eating and starved to death, he would be pollution-free. Unless, of course, you count his corpse as pollution.
I bought a fluorescent torchiere, but I had a hell of a time finding it and nearly as much trouble replacing the bulb. Also it still doesn't come close to the light put out by a 300 watt halogen torchiere.
If it uses the funky D-shaped tube, I saw them at Home Depot the other day. I'm sure the one in my torchiere is nowhere near death, so I didn't get one.
Oh, and it might not be as much light as a 300W halogen, but it also won't discolor your ceiling from the ludicrous heat output. I've seen a halogen do that.
If you use an electronic ballast, you won't see the flicker (it typically goes from 120Hz* to several kHz). All the compact fluorescent bulbs are electronic ballasts, and I've never noticed them flicker.
* No, that's not a typo. The mains voltage is 60Hz, but the waverform crosses zero twice each cycle.
Yep, a few of the CFL companies seriously overrate their equivalent bulb ratings. Your best bet is to find the incandescent bulb you're using now, look at the lumen output (if you can find it), and buy a CFL with equal or higher lumen output.
Also remember that if you look at a CFL, it will look less bright than an incandescent at the same lumen output, because the light is less like a point source. Compare the two by looking at how well they illuminate the room or the book you're reading. To me, the ability to accidentally glance at the bulb without my eyes hurting is an advantage of the CFL. Oh, and another point - some CFLs take about a minute to get to full brightness.
As far as not fitting, that's been a problem for me too, but it's getting better. There are 9 watt CFL twist bulbs that fit in the little ceiling fan light kits now; they do an adequate job of replacing a 40W bulb, and are 2 for $10 at WalMart. I only wish they were dimmable.

Since BIND doesn't support dynamic updates, it doesn't work well with DHCP....
That's news to me. On my Linux box, the DHCP server is dynamically updating the BIND 9 server with no problems.

Yeah, I saw it later, but that was stupid. My idea was better.

If you ever manage to get hold of one, you'll realise just how impossible a task making a replica would be.
If making a replica is *impossible*, how do they make the original?

No, it's "Did you ever know that you're my hero?"
God, I'm ashamed that I know that. That song fucking sucks.
One possibility is that the film industry has already made money on the movie before the DVD is even released.
Hey, it was good enough logic for the XFL, wasn't it?
I think the important thing for JourneyOS is to decide on a motto. I suggest "Any way you want it, that's the way you need it"!
I live in Memphis, where we know a thing or two about what happens when the city doesn't collect trash for a couple weeks.
Yeah, it's called Graceland, isn't it?
Hence the size of Philadelphia varies from 15 to 28 miles.
Did you notice this fact?
The results of the search were announced by a group led by Gary Bernstein of the University of Pennsylvania
I imagine if it had been an MIT group, they would have said the objects were the size of Massachusetts. Thank heavens they weren't from Alaska!

While you're on the subject, just how many holes does it take to fill the Albert Hall?
Solar output is in the neighborhood of 400 trillion terawatts. That's 4 billion kilograms of matter converted to energy every second.

They now cost very little, they have come down from $20 per bulb to $2 per bulb.
Where do you find them for $2? $6 is about the cheapest I've found, except for the $10 2-pack of 9W twisties.
