So you would have bought at 7 (off from 12!) but sold at 3, when you got too nervous, maybe? If you have the ability to follow this and know, at 3, that it will turn, then you can be a rich person.
What you are describing in your post is a hedging strategy, and it is why most stocks remain mostly within normative ranges. That is, except when they don't, and all those hedgers get wiped out by circumstances/reality (sound familiar?)
Why do people complain?

I don't get it. A game review is on the front page for a game that was anticipated for three years. It is good. There are crackable software locks on it like every other major commercial game for the past twenty years. Test Drive II for my Mac Plus required the floppy in the drive.
Get over yourselves.
Also, it's Slashdot. It isn't the fastest or the broadest or even the best, but you're here and commenting, just to say so. Whatever. It's by the guy who did Duckpins and was hosted by MacOSRumors' stupid owner so it's cool, and it was a damn pioneer for all this Digg and Linux crap.
There isn't any in upstate NY at Bard either. (Fisher Performing Arts Center.) The snow and ice there got heavy enough to slide off and kill people, so Bard had to put ugly orange guards around the edges.
Hey, I have a BeBox at home and it smokes. Just wait for Office to come out for it, then it'll take off. It's right around the corner, with the way the monopoly trial is going.
Yeah, this is a glorified ad, but it also describes the exact opposite of what a UI designer or user wants to hear. It's like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife.
With all the money you've saved on PCs, you can afford a few-dollar USB to PS2 converter. Alternatively, you can spend an additional $25, and get a PC from this century. I am using a PIII 500 right now with no CDROM, and even it has USB.
In MacOS 9, one could use a "voice-print" to log into their user account right out of the box. This isn't in OS X, for some reason, but it used to be there. Then again, at least OS X has real users, and not an At Ease retrofit.
Open source Quark 6! Why not? They are never going to go anywhere with their current attitude and framework, but they still have a ton of the market, and a lot of people who would be interested in a) not learning InDesign and b) beating the crap out of an equally stupid company, "Macrodobe."
The situation is already as dire as Netscape's was, except the lock-in on page layout programs is far more dramatic than browsers. Make the right moves, and you would have an Apache for the layout world.
Fractal Design was such a great company. Painter, Expression, Poser, Bryce, and any MetaCreations plug-in originated somewhere in Fractal Design and Meta-something (they merged, and it was downhill from there. Now, the products are split across so many companies it is absurd. A painter-expression-poser-bryce suite, had the companies not been run so ineptly, would have been worthy Macromedia and/or Adobe competitors.
HP is the premier Itanium vendor, not producer. They just happen to be the only one left (besides SGI) who really support the chip. It's a perfect chip for Apple to move to. It's also monstrously powerful, and, if Apple were to use it in their Pro desktop/server line (G5/Xserve), and leave the G5 for the iMac/PowerBook/iBook, they would be a full notch up from the Pentium D/Opteron X2/Pentium M, Celeron/Duron structure of the Wintel world.
On the other hand, supporting two completely different architectures simultaneously sounds improbable to me. Still, it's about the only way I could see Apple migrating over.
You forgot that the Win in Wintel implies Windows compatibility, which this most certainly isn't.
I predict that Apple has gotten Intel to strip down its Itanium line of chips and bolt AltiVec on, as IBM did their POWER4. Remember, Intel does not necessarily equal x86 or x86-64. HP is selling iPods, and is also the premier Itanium vendor. Coincidence?
Gates will change his tune once his search-enabled OS comes out. A few months ago he was crowing about desktop search, and how we couldn't find anything on our PCs anymore. I'm sure that talk will come back once he can sell us something to remedy it.
Interestingly, the BFS file system designer was hired by Apple a few years ago, and Spotlight is the fruit of that ("auto-journaling", without a reformat, in Panther is supposedly also his work.)
Slashdot Mirror
Definitely deserves a "Funny" or two.
Or, it is as far as I know.

It's an Apple and Disney Smalltalk environment that's a lot of fun, and just won't die.

A Thumper or Drivebox RAID system.

Yeah ditto. Poor MOSR.
Moderate parent up.
Bruce Willis is dead.

Ha ha. Hilarious.

This is actually funny.
Ditto. I get blue text saying "Start" and a text field.
He was so pro-MS until recently. Now, he's biased against Apple and MS. It seems untenable.

I want to know if this is possible, too.
Maybe with Automator?

It's amazing that we were stalled at 50TFLOPS for two years, and are piling on the FLOPS now.
