RSS on the menubar. It's just my preference, I can't justify it with any arguments, but I find it odd that with so many RSS readers out there for OSX I can't find one that puts news in a hierarchical menu.
It's like all of the RSS programmers didn't have any UI background and have to learn all the useability stuff we figgured out in Web Browsers....and Word Processors, and OS's...
You could take a look at NewsYouCanUse if you want a newsreader with a less clicky and obtrusive interface. One click to open a story, from your menubar.
If you're trying to understand why a stock is moving you must look at both the price *and* the volume. Like many small cap stocks SCOX trades in low volume and the price can fluctuate without a great deal of significance.
When hard news affecting the stock emerges you usually see higher volume trading and the price hardens. SCOX had held on to a $5 support level for some time but has now fallen to the next support level, $4. Someone, somewhere, is happy to buy SCOX at $4 but no more.
I'm disgusted by Apple, but not by the fascism. I'm disgusted by the lack of logic:
Apple makes a tiny profit with the iTMS. Their model is to make the serious dough selling iPods, so they actually make a profit out of online music, unlike the me-too services (BuyMusic, Walmart, Napster 2.0 etc).
So why is Apple upset at Real's rather desperate attempt to support the iPod? Where's the harm?
The only thing I can think of is that Apple is going to court to prevent any precedents being established regarding iPod reverse engineering in preparation for an iPod clone war.
1: Apple can't prevent you from adding PCI cards or peripherals any more than Wintel assemblers can.
2: Since Macs use the same interfaces as Wintel PCs the range of options is similar.
3: Macs don't have a BIOS, they use OpenBoot. I can't think of a reason to tweak it.
4: This is groundless conjecture; you could just as well argue the exact opposite case given the evidence presented (ie: no evidence).
More fundamentally, you are arguing that it is unfair that Apple should receive a high satisfaction rating because it works differently to the poor misunderstood PC assemblers. By definition, consumer satisfaction is centered on the user's experience of the product, not the business practises that cause it to be created and sold.
CowboyNeal's blog entry is kind of confusing. He said his Powerbook was in to have the HD replaced and was kvetching about how long it was taking. Then he complains that he had stuff to check into CVS on the Powerbook and the delay was ruining his life.
However, he's having the Powerbook's HD replaced, which kind of suggests that the files are history. Now this suggests that if he's prepared to invent some fictitious files then there is little reason why the court should believe his other claims regarding how long Apple is taking to repair his computer.
If you have the clutch in then the gear won't engage. If you lift your foot off the clutch then you might have some problems.
Re: your Toyota - it's pretty unusual for a car to have syncromesh on reverse. You could double declutch though, if you are determined to wreck your gearbox : )
If you're driving a stick a great way to freak out tailgaters is to put in the clutch and shift into reverse. Your reversing lights come on, causing the tailgater to immediately back off and waste time changing their pants.
Remember to put the car back into an appropriate gear before lifting your foot off the clutch.
That's not right. You don;t actually make an investment when you short a stock, so there is no limit to how much you make. However, to short a stock you must have a margin agreement with your broker, so that if the stock you short goes up, you can cover it.
If you shorted 1000 SCOX at $22 and covered at $3.50 (say), you would have made $18500 with no actual investment. If instead SCO had started winning in court and its stock hit $50 (say), you'd be in the hole to the tune of $28000. Once the cost of covering the stock passed your margin limit you would have to cover it, so you couldn't just wait and hope the stock would deflate.
The term "dark side of the moon" in fact is literal. The word "dark" does not just mean unlit; it also means unobserved. Think of the "Dark Ages" or "darkest Africa."
THESE PICTURES ARE FAKE! And the "scientists" who made them must be idiots.
Don't you get it? NASA wants people to think the moon landings were faked. The reason? Due to a little-known patent, NASA receives micropayments every time someone types in all caps.

One of the problems with following these sensible suggestions is that many feeds don't actually update their headers. Some feeds do all sorts of crazy things, such as mixing up their character encoding, using unreliable servers, occasionally serving an html page instead of xml, malforming tags, reusing urls and so on. Developers will only use header information when there is some assurance that the headers have been created properly, especially as any mistake in reading a feed appears to the user to be an application bug.
I earn approximately $92,000, taxed at a rate 48% or $44160. Using your formula for corporations, I am really paying 86.25% in taxes (taxes paid / gross income - expenses or 44160 / 92000 - 408000).
Unless you live in a very strange country you don't pay 48% of your income in tax. Most income tax systems are progressive, so you pay tax in bands, paying 48% only on the top band of your income. You can also deduct items from your income according to your circumstances.
You're forgetting tax on dividends of public companies. Corporate earnings (which have been taxed) generate dividends for investors, and are taxed again. Or were in the US, until Bush put an end to it.
Since most companies like to keep their stated earnings as low as possible, it was never that big a deal.
profit goals for publix corporations are measured by the EBITA number. Earnings before income tax allowance.
I think you mean EBITDA, Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization. The idea is that this is the unvarnished amount of money a corporation earns, before it starts its accounting contortions. It's mostly used to guide investors.
I wonder what the social implications of the growth of WIFI are. Coffee shops and cafes and trains used to be a place where people would sometimes sit alone, be bored, and sometimes start talking and meeting people. Now with WIFI, you'll be able to work whereever you go, could this have any sociological effect?
Now you'll have to ignore idiots in real life and online simultaneously.
2003: Dell asks MS for bigger discount. MS declines. 2004: Dell starts selling PCs preloaded with Linspire. 2005: MS quietly increases discount for Dell. 2005: Dell quietly withdraws Linspire PCs, claims no market demand.
Remember, SCO v IBM a particularly tenuous case. They are arguing that existing code that IBM ported to AIX automatically became derivative of SVD, so when IBM ported code with a similar function to Linux they were breaking their SVD contract. I'm talking about JFS here, but the same ridiculous scenario applies to other things SCO is making a big deal out of.
There is no way that SCO can prevail. Their main argument with DaimlerChrysler is about whether a list of Unix registered CPUs constitutes a list when there are no CPUs running Unix. Their main argument with Novell is that they should own the Unix copyrights because, despite being specifically excluded from the sale, it kind of suits them right now.
Despite the Harvey Birdman nature of their litigation, the point is that SCO doesn't have to win next year in court to inflict lasting damage on Linux adoption, which is the point of all this.

You're looking at a French re-insurance company. The SCO we all love and cherish trades as SCOX.
