No, the bond investors are footing the bill. The taxpayers have to pay back the money which their town gladly borrowed in their names. You have to pay back money that you borrow, this isn't like mommy and daddy. Oh and there's a price for borrowing, it's called interest. Don't want to pay interest? OK, go find someone to lend you money. Have fun.
If the company repurchases its stock with company funds, the company funds go away thus decreasing the value of the remaining shares. Get it? The net effect is zero. What people like is that there are fewer shares around so that FUTURE gains per share are greater.
Because the people with real cash (banks and investment firms) have known about this for longer than you me or slashdot, and the average person isn't going to start trading a $400 stock (which means $40,000 as a minimum trade quantity thanks to 100 share lot sizes) after hours unless the company is going under or something.
I believe you were answered quite thoroughly by cusco, however you still haven't addressed my second concern. Al Qaeda is now a far bigger, more organized and frankly formidable threat than it was. After all, they've survived you for 13 years. Do you really think it's never going to come back and bite you in the face?
Er, how do you know they are muslim? That bit hasn't been found out yet. And if they were, to be fair, you have been bombing quite a few of their countries for quite a few years now. You expect zero backlash?
Maybe he was lazy and overstayed his student visa instead of renewing it, and thus deserves to be deported. And maybe he's the brat of some rich saudi connected to the government, and they don't want a big scene.
Or quite possibly, these posts are from secret robotic agents who are exchanging ascii-encoded mp3's that when played the notes translate to encypted terrorist plans/naked children in compromising positions/ponies. Or perhaps I am the one that is hallucinating.
On the contrary, it's is where you need it the utmost, lest you steep down to their level. When you look into the abyss, the abyss also looks into you...
Some people still think AAPL stock is a magical money making machine. I remember one guy on TV saying that now was the time to buy, when it was at $700. I wonder how that worked out for his followers.
You all are assuming he made money on the deal. He bought at $600 prior to the earnings report, thinking the stock would go back up to $700. Instead, it tanked. Had the stock gone up I'm sure he would have been slapped on the wrist and told "don't do it again".

How about instead coding a site properly so it won't get hacked in the first place? Put the effort and resources there.
Boston certainly used to be made of sterner stuff!
I dunno, this is the city that had to fight off a terrorist invasion of mooninites too.
I do actually. It's published.
The answers to those questions come at the price of having to give up ever having sex with another human being again.

New ideas? Hell, that hasn't happened yet.
Oh please. Go buy some more and leave us alone.
The thing about scientists like me is we don't have to take your word for it. It's the only reason science works.

Now we know what those damned North Koreans were up to! They might want to turn the yield up on those "nukes" a little more though.
You're not expected to judge them, only to recognize them. It just might be possible they're not releasing every single picture they have.
So he changed shoes too?
Police: Yes that will be all. Oh wait, by the way, about your visits to 4chan...
Quod erat demonstrandum
Some people won't be happy until you provide video evidence of their finger pushing the detonator. And even then...

So he planted a bomb and then changed his shirt, right? You're the reason why vigilantes are a bad idea.
high res, too. Well spotted.
