The study probably won't tell us much. The control group probably didn't include a bunch of obnoxiously loud cell-talkers, who's cognitive abilities were in question to begin with
Well, in a sense, that's what they are saying. Satellite bandwidth is limited, and viacom wants dish to carry more of their channels. Which means less of other people's channels.
I think part of the problem that Echostar has is that it doesn't want to give up what bandwidth it does have, in order to carry ALL of viacom's lineup. They're too busy trying to add local markets (per fcc order, for some reason), and don't want to launch another satellite just to carry GAS network or lesser watched (but still just as highly priced) channel.
I'd rather ditch viacom altogether, and get a couple more hd channels on the same satellites.
In the case of this particular book, you should distrust people who claim to have read the entire book. It's damn near impossible to finish. And that's if you can ignore the rampant egomania.
I think it may be that the analyst's risk model doesn't take the lawsuit into account. It's going on historical sales, and basing it's guess on how other companies in the sector have performed.
But what I don't get is the price. The p/e is 45, there's negative earnings forecast, and no fundamentals at all. The only speculation is the lawsuit.
But if everybody bought the stock because of the lawsuit, haven't they been paying attention to the recent news? Why haven't more people sold - heck, the stock even went up today, on no news at all.
Slippery slope there. Playboy was a word before, it meant a single bachelor interested in the opposite sex. The idea that such a person might be interested in pornography isn't that great of a stretch.
Just because Playboy the company managed to change common usage doesn't mean it's no longer a word.
Myself, I don't think that providing paid links violates trademark whatsoever. Maybe people who search for playboy want other things, and search engines lose a lot of functionality if they can't provide similar results. The solution is to use a search engine that gives you the information you are looking for.
Saying that you can't make those assumptions mighe step on first amendment rights, which in my opinion trump trademark dilution concerns.
I too bought it the day it came out, and finally managed to finish it the other day. Cryptonomicon on the other hand, took me less than a week.
Well, I reached the last page anyway; the book doesn't end in any meaningful way, it just runs out of pages.
Some of it is great. As with all of Stephenson's books, I learned a thing or two on accident, but man, there was a lot of space between the good points.
One critic stated in his review that it was obvious that Neal needed an editor, and that editor needed a machete. It's a good point.
I heard a rumor that some institutions might have the motive to invest in SCOX in order to make the harder to acquire by IBM.
The $50 million might be a gamble on the case becoming such a thorn in the side of IBM, that SCOX is bought out at a premium, thus profiting the investor.
What I like about the FCC enforcing the rules is that they don't even consider what appears to be the stronger challenge, base on freedom of speech.
It's like Powell said, "Well, obviously the problem isn't running roughshod over the constitution, it's a matter of WHICH federal agency is going to run roughshod over the constitution."
Not that I think it's a free speech issue, but shouldn't that be up to a court?
I think it's silly to think that no one is hiring. People get promoted, die, move on, and all of that sort of thing. But it's hard to have something on your resume that people respect. For myself, there were only a couple certs that gave immediate cred - CCIE, and one of the SANS certs.
CCIE because the wannabe-to-actual ratio was high; and the SANS certs because you can go and view the paper that got them the certification. SANS papers can give you a real insight into what people are used to working with.
Well, "precisely dick" is still more revenue than the majority of companies in the US.
Around $200 for XP times millions, right?
Around $1000 for 2000 Advanced Server (for all those people buying SQL2K, and wanting to use gigabyte or processor #3 or higher.
Why did you go with SQL Enterprise on a 2 Processor box?
Let's see:
Option 1. Buy Verizon. Rip up fiber from local CO, replace with copper, and then buy DSL service from Covad.
Option 2. Buy Adelphia. Replace Cable front end with upgraded, docsis compliant equipment. Buy service from Adelphia.
Yeah, I think it's dial-up for now. Unless this money from Nigeria comes through.

technically, I don't think New Jersey considers itself an "early warning system"

Doesn't Darl fit the bill?
I don't want to make the same mistake I made in the last election.
I'm pretty sure a lot of four year olds have been posting as AC's for quite some time.
Cost of US Worker - $200/day Cost of Chinese Worker $2/day Ain't no way tax is gonna overcome that.

That cinches it for me. I'm immediately migrating my home away from UniCenter. From now on, I will keep my door propped open with a REDHAT box!

nice...mod points because your name is close to esr's. not much of a point though. people aren't exactly clamoring for real estate on the moon.
Can you sue the Patent Office for not dereliction of duty? (or has that been patented)

You're confused. The antelope is the size of a normal hand. What I don't get is why it needs a PC.

Results have been inconsistent ever since they let those damn pigeons unionize. He's obviously covering for the union.
Given their dearth of programmers, and the move to migrate IT type services to India, why don't we hear of any game programming shops there?
