Well I hope this (the issue, not this particular proposition) doesn't die due to party politics. It would be a shame to see the republican congress (house and senate) decide to support the idea to "let the market sort it out".
see, thr problem that a lot of us/.ers have is that we see sun and ms as adversaries because we have in the past. the business community and minds see a sun/ms alliance as smart and necessary. seeing as MS has a 86% profit margin (!) from windows and sun still is a unix company (thats where its money comes from), both of these companies have the same problem: linux. without them settling their differences and realizing they arent each others problems, they are trying to move forward positively.
no matter what the packages offer (cash, equity in the acquiring company, junk bonds, convertible bonds, etc.), cash is always preferred. if you were selling your car, would you prefer cash or equity in ZYX company? even though a company may look healthy (especially if theyre buying you out), you do not know everything about it. any microsoft offer would conceivably be smarter economically because it would presumably involved more cold, hard, sweet-smelling, cash. if you dont think taking a lot of equity in the company acquiring you is a bad idea, well neither did Time Warner with AOL.... and neither did Ted Turner
watching his stake's value dwindle to $1.9 billion from $6.8 billion amidst the AOL imbroglio
so, basically, cash cow MS has a far better chance of buying universal
hey, kevin! man, i just wanted to let you know that your performance in "Hackers 2: Operation Takedown" was outstanding! Do you consider acting side by side with Master P in that movie the high point of your career? Also, could you sign my copy of "Scream"? I thought you were great in that too.
What do you mean that was skeet ulrich and not you???
ive been looking around for the SEC filings. does anybody know where i can find them? i checked cnbc.com and datek.com (which uses cbs market watch) but they just have the 1st quarter results.
im from texas and what amazes me is the fact the administration is pushing this bill to make 'computer crimes' as you say, "special" and "different". when james byrd was dragged to death in jasper, tx several years ago when bush was govenor, bush would not pass a hate crimes bill b/c he said all crimes are hate. i dont understand! this man was flat out murdered b/c of pure hatred and he wouldnt make a hate crimes bill. there isnt one computer crime that matches that for me, and yet he's pushing a computer crimes bill. argh, the injustices of this cruel, cruel world.
might want to notice the first line saying the Bush Administration had asked congress to pass it. and you might want to notice which party is in the house. thats why it passed.
also, with more reports coming out saying that these terrorists are using email and satelite phones (and any other technology that John Q. doesnt normally use) its going to be harder for third party lobby groups and political action committees to come to our aid.
oh yeah, youre right. if the Efficient Market Theory was true, then it would be impossible to make any money in the market. only if a person had insider information would they be able to make money. value investing is what everybody does. unfortunately, we often value the future value, than the current undervalue.
this is true. while this fraud may have been perpetuated by the CFO (who oversees all accounting for the firm), the data were tracked and recorded by other employees. anybody who worked on these accounts and did so much as entered a number should have their certification revoked. when lower level CPAs have their occupation at risk, they will make noise sooner about dishonesty.
Don't expect an econmic recover within 9 months. We must pay for the sins we have committed.
no, investing is a science. you just proved it. its a social science. the stock market is completely based on demand and, consequently, the supply to squelsh that demand.
nobody should actually care what is going on. ive seen a simple fork from a college cafeteria sell on ebay for $15. does that price seem correct for the product? hardly. ebay proves that people will pay for stuff that is literally worthless. but oh wait, its not worthless if people are willing to pay for it. the capital system is, by definition, and efficient market. all company news is built into the current stock price, therefore what you are really paying for when buying a stock is the expectation that the company will prosper in the future. this will breed good news, which will then appropriately help people value in the stock in a new context. that is why a stock like amazon was a high flyer during the late 90s. the expectation that amazon was going to take out brick and mortars, and the fact jeff bezos was time magazine's man of the year all helped boost the expectation and perception that the stock would be worth a higher price in the future. therein, lies the science: you buy a company that will do well enough to give a perception,whether through performance, news, or hoopla, that the stock will be worth more in the future than at the current moment.
well ill tell you what theyre going to think. theyre going to realize that this is really bad since their main objective is to sell games. they lose money on the Xbox and know it. they only use that as a tool to get in the home owner's living room and gain market share. they know that massive Xbox sales that are not matched with massive game sales will be extremely bad for them.

amazingly, something from here gets posted. man, i have to put up with some much shit from geeks b/c i go to FSU. well i see this building everyday on the way to the business building and its the biggest eyesore, relative to the other buildings, and thats why i like it.

What Free Cable?
·
· Score: 1
i havent yet decided which part of the debate im on, but i think an even better way of stating it would be, i have a cable hooked up to my house, therefore im allowed to hook my house (whole house, anything within the house, etc.) to that cable.
furthermore, what about creating a home network? im getting the same product i am paying for, but not paying for it the second time. or what about having two TVs hooked up to cable in a house?
does
So, you have [cable] hooked up to your [TV]. This doesn't mean that you are allowed to splice that cable and run it to another [TV].
apply as well? (just for clarity, i did insert those and paraphrased your comment.)

C How to Program by Deitel & Deitel

office 200? man, now i understand why all the older geeks say im too young.
ive been looking around for the SEC filings. does anybody know where i can find them? i checked cnbc.com and datek.com (which uses cbs market watch) but they just have the 1st quarter results.
larry ellison? is that you? :)
so its sounds like theyre going to broadcast the keynote address at our theater. maybe your local university is doing the same thing
no, i wasnt trying to draw political lines. i was just saying that im sure it got through the house quickly b/c of party majorities.
im from texas and what amazes me is the fact the administration is pushing this bill to make 'computer crimes' as you say, "special" and "different". when james byrd was dragged to death in jasper, tx several years ago when bush was govenor, bush would not pass a hate crimes bill b/c he said all crimes are hate. i dont understand! this man was flat out murdered b/c of pure hatred and he wouldnt make a hate crimes bill. there isnt one computer crime that matches that for me, and yet he's pushing a computer crimes bill. argh, the injustices of this cruel, cruel world.

well in a pure capitalist system (an efficient market) there would be no goverment regulation. so i think im still standing on two feet.
