if I had thought about that for more than a split second, I would have realized that you need to know that "C9" in the above equation references a cell for the four digit year. Apologies all around.
This is hardly a "leak" and far from news. These structures have been in place formally since 2000. This isn't even a "loophole." This is a carefully designed program by the SEC to legally get people out of situations where they are over-committed to a stock. These "insiders" register their planned selling in advance and post that plan publicly for the world to see. Now you know when people are considering possibly selling some inside shares. So it's not a surprise. It is part of the efficient price discovery process that make capital markets function.

Why wouldn't it mean cheaper lcd tvs?
seems more logical to me.

Chimera Twins Story
·
· Score: 3, Interesting
Slightly OT:
Here is a pretty freaky story of a boy who seems to have assumed his twin in the womb. No one knew until when,at age seven, he had a stomach ache and surgeons removed his brother.
The article is/.ed but a google search implies that the ethics component is just simple number scale. So what if my ethics are different than the guy coming up with the scale?
For example I like companies that make health care products, like new drugs. They generally help us live longer for less money than surgery or other proceedures. But Christian Scientists have a different view. And people who think we should test products on humans instead of animals might also object some but not all of those products.
What if an entertainment company owns a casino? What if that casino is only 5% of revenues, is that enough to make them "bad"? What if they also make r-rated movies?
Muslims wouldn't consider a company ethical if it had outstanding bonds. But I think issuing debt is often good fiscal management.
And paying foriegn workers seems to be an issue that divides a lot of people ethically.
I guess my point is that abstracting to a simple number yields no useful information. This just sounds like a term engineering project that got too much hype.
Lengend has it that "The Bridges of Maddison County" was written by a marketing professor who started with the question "What if I applied marketing to writing from the begining of the process? What would be the right formula?" Seems to have been a big commercial success.
If the way they discourage you from switching in the future is by offering better service and more features then I'm all for it.
For example Sprint offers (but inexplicably doesn't advertise and charges extra for) voice recognition dialling that sits on their server. If you use (are aware of, and willing to pay for) this feature, you won't be limitted by the 10 or 20 available voice slots in your physical phone's memory. You also can lose your phone, or borrow someone else's phone, and still have access to your voice address book. The only way you can lose your contacts is if you switch carriers. It would be a pain to re-program your address book. (In the same way that people don't switch on-line banks after they have all of their bill paying finally set up.)
Portable numbers will lead to more competition and more customer friendly ways to create lock-in.
You'll never be able to keep the physical phone unless you switch between carriers that use the same protocol: CDMA, GSM, etc. If you do want to switch between protocols just wait until you need a new phone. What is that- like every 2 or 3 years?
If the yawning/coughing are at least partially caused by environmental influences, you are probably sharing that same environment when you see someone else yawn/cough. This shared experience, a dusty room or boring presentation, is probably what increases the odds of you following suit, not necessarily the initial yawn/cough.
Does your school or alma mater allow science majors to fulfill distribution requirements by taking a course designed for non-majors?
Do they even offer "poetry for scientist?"
But I bet they offer "Introduction to science for poets."
Why the double-standard? If distribution requirements are usefull, shouldn't poets be made to take real science classes (and be graded on the curve against science majors in the class)? Otherwise there is no reason for distribution requirements. They're just a waste of everyone's time and effort.
Why do people continue to post stories from the New Scientist? Just because the word "Scientist" appears in the title, doesn't mean this publication has anything to do with science.
Check out other posted stories which originated in the New Scientist and you might just begin to suspect a trend.

Back in college we would double-space our papers to make it easy for the professor to read.
Seemed pretty easy and did the trick.
I guess those simple solutions just don't cut it with today's modern ways.
Just patch a socket. Problem solved. I learned that watching 24.

Q: What's worse than being exploited?
A: Not being exploited.
ok, it's not really funny, in fact it's kind of sad, but such can be life.
They left out Bubb Rubb and Lil'Sis from 2003. WOOOOOOWOOOOOOO!!!
would love a gmail invite if anyone is feeling so generous. Thanks in advance. jumbotech@yahoo.com

Wow, Troy McClure. I remember him from such specials as "Out With Gout '88" and "Save Tony Orlando's House"
