The article failed to mention that Ms Kaczynski was a token boardmember -- she was the former CFO of the NFL and was supposed to help out with the NFL. EA's 5-year Madden deal did her in.
not only is it inaccurate, it denies all the Nazi atrocities, just as much as the fringe that claims the Holocaust never happened.
It's like Dennis Miller said: "Everybody in the world is Hitler. Bush is Hitler, Ashcroft is Hitler, Rumsfeld is Hitler. The only guy who isn't Hitler is the foreign guy with a mustache dropping people who disagree with him into the wood chipper. He's not Hitler."
Google gave Opera (and Mozilla foundation) a chunk of cash in exchange for Opera being totally free (as in no ads) and google being the preferred search engine. There could be other terms to their agreement as well...
yes. Although it should be noted that the mtDNA comes solely from the mother (like Y chromosome comes solely from the father) so it is much better than regular DNA for comparing lineage.
I think I saw an article a couple days ago postulating on resurrecting a Wolly Mammoth based on the mtDNA sequencing...
When Javascript came out, I didn't like it. Netscape hangs, gives weird errors, and the tacky animations. What's not to like? But when you separate the language from the hordes of copy/paste "web designers" and the DOM (and MS/Mozilla differences), the JavaScript/ECMAScript/ActionScript language is a decent programming language.
Opera is now totally free, no ads. Google gave them a chunk of cash to be the default search engine. (They also gave firefox/mozilla some scratch too).
ok, I had ethereal log everything while I connected via firefox. FF received the same 2 circular redirects, but the third time (requesting / again) it received the actual data for the page.
What part of "dividends move money...to the shareholder" don't YOU understand? Not everybody buys stocks just to see the price rise, you know. And even those who do like to get some real money from their stocks once in a while without selling out. The fact that there was downward movement during the period they did it is completely irrelevant to my point.
Maybe you should decide what your point is.
When they aren't handing it out to stockholders in one-time stock prop schemes...
handing out money to shareholders entices shareholders and people who DON'T own Microsoft shares to buy them - thus driving up the price.
You claim Microsoft gave out a one time special dividend so that millions of people would buy microsoft stock, raising the price. The fact that the share price has a downward movement when the dividend is distributed is very relevant to your point. Their miniscule regularly dividend and high volatility make them a poor choice for anyone interested in dividend income. Buying the stock for a one-time dividend and then selling is a loser proposition, given the brokerage fees and taxes on the dividend, and subsequent price drop after the dividend. It might be a nice binusfor existing shareholders, but it has nothing to do with raising their market valuation.
Do you own any dividend producing stocks? You don't seem to understand how this works. When a company gives out a dividend, the share price drops by a (more or less) equivalent amount... and shareholders will be taxed on the distribution.
here are the MSFT closing prices when they gave out their special dividend. Notice the average price before was $29.22. After the distribution, it was $26.90, with a $2.63 drop the day after the dividend.
Dividends move money from the company to the shareholder, but they don't create new money.
PS - Bill did get a big chunk of change out of it, but it went straight to the Bill Gates Foundation.
you know... slashdot should reconsider their sections (linux, yro, apache, etc). This story for example, is on the FSF and the GPL license. But it's placed in the "linux" category. In fact, anything to do with open source/FSF/GPL/etc are placed in the "linux" category even though they aren't linux. The YRO section is an even bigger mess. I'm not sure why the apache section exists at all, they get a story once a month. Might as well add a "geek gets laid" section. Oh wait, they did, but there aren't any articles yet.
We now return to our regularly scheduled wank fest.

That's a silly thought. Dividends and other cash distributions reduce the share price by the dividend amount. Using their cash to buy back shares would be a "prop scheme".
Galeon recently released v 2.0. Considering that most/. users claim to hate windows and love linux, it saddens me that such a feature rich browser gets completely ignored.
There is a correlation between the quantity/quality of articles when Zonk is on a rampage; lots of shitty articles. Other than that... be realistic. A/. article is a user-contributed link to a couple of web sites with a poorly spelled/factually incorrect/misleading rant to go along with it. The/. janitors only work is clicking the reject/accept button, which takes the same amount of time for every article. There can't be a meaningful correlation as is the case with people that actually spend time producing content.
So does Cowboy Neil. In fact, I bet at least half of slashdot readers have man-breasts, so you'll need to find a better way to imply you don't have a set of nuts.

It does no such thing. At the time the constitution was written, the concept of political parties was unpopular and considered bad for democracy.

I'd rather spread Ashley Olson's legs.
Seems like you've discovered slashdot editors... editing a story! Or maybe the joke was too close to home.
You forgot about crashing. Firefox 1.5 crashes more often than Billy Joel in a demolition derby.

There are dozens, maybe hundreds, of other sites that mirror wikipedia's content. (plus throw in a few ads).
I wouldn't go that far, but I think http://cowboyneal.org/Pater.jpg">Cowboy Neal needs breast reduction surgery ASAP!

Isn't it your own fault that you're a fucking idiot?
