You're buying on margin. You need to pay sometime. Almost all brokerages require you to have a certain amount of cash in your margin account that is proportional to the value of the stock you're shorting. If the stock rises and you don't have the cash, they can and will sell off other investments you own with them.
Ok troll, I'll bite. AOL bought Winamp. AOL bought Netscape. AOL bought Time Warner.
After the merger, the the value of AOL dropped faster than CmdrTaco's pants when he's got the shits, Steve Case left, and "AOL Time Warner" renamed themselves back to "Time Warner", but it wasn't Time Warner that bought AOL.
Furthermore, what crime was David Koresh guilty of? Are you ready for the answer? Failing to pay taxes on 2 machine guns.
I don't agree with religious nuts (or "White Sepratists"), but i disagree with a gov't that would attack it's own people on trumped up charges (like claiming child abuse and illegal drug manufacturing). It's not a coincidence that Terry McVeigh bombed Oklahoma City on April 19th, the anniversary of the Waco massacre.
Actually, I think the real problem is that there is no competition for the iPod.
Nonsense. Samsung, Dell, Creative, and many others manufacture portable mp3 players. And there are still portable cassette and cd/mp3 players.
most of economics assumes there are multiple creators/sellors of the identical item, like bananas.
No, micro economics covers all market structures - monopolies, oligopolies, perfect competetion, and monopolistic competition.
Since you must have skipped class, let's give a brief refresher:
Monopoly: 1 dominant company, no competition.
Oligopoly: 2--5 of big companies.
Monopolistic competition: Many companies, each has a monopoly over their own brand name, so they have some control over prices.
Perfect competition: hundreds of suppliers of identical products, no individual supplier can affect the price or supply.
Bananas and other agricultural products fall under the perfect competition category. iPods fall under the monopolistic competition category. Apple has a monopoly on the iPod, so they can set the price higher than in the case of perfect competition. Standard mocro economics covers this very thoroughly.
What about that foreign dictator guy... I forget his name, but he had a moustache, and suspended civil liberties. Invaded other countries, killed hundreds of thousands of his own citizens. Was he Hitler too?
Do you know why illegal immigrants pick lettuce and run fast food stands? Because they don't qualify for welfare. Kick out the illegals and end welfare. I think you'll find there are plenty of white folks that could do that work once they're not paid to sit on their ass and watch jerry springer.
You forgot Ashcroft...
If anyone was the next Hitler, it would be him.
I can only assume you're one of those kooks that insists the holocaust didn't happen. After all, the only possible way you could compare Hitler to anyone (besides Hussein, Stalin, and a handful of others) is to ignore most of what Hitler did.
I think it is safe to say that most men consider the perfect finale to fellatio to be climaxing into/onto a beautiful girl's face. Is it possible to separate the more immediate and simpler pleasure of the underlying ejaculation from the more complex sensual and aesthetic properties of the facial cumshot ?
Authorities are strangely silent on the question. One might expect that Alphonse Donatien de Sade, D.H. Lawrence, or Henry Miller would have covered the topic, but this writer is unaware of any such treatment in their works. Far be it for me to trod in their footsteps, but I shall attempt in this modest essay to shed some light on the problem.
I think any such investigation has to begin with acknowledging the relative rarity, or infrequency of the male orgasm. While a female, whose orgasm, after all, is biologically meaningless, can easily reach orgasm 20 or 30 times a day, most health/medical professionals and porn film directors recognize that one or two major or substantive ejaculations per day is about the limit for the average healthy male. Thus the male tends to place a higher value on his orgasm and since his ejaculate is the primary visual and tactile evidence of same, it's only natural that he attaches a great importance to it.
In fact it can be argued that for many men, the visual confirmation of orgasm becomes fused in the psyche with the orgasm itself. Both Jung and Adler have explored several examples of such fusion between physical sensations and their visual confirmation, but again, this author is unaware of any explicit treatment of ejaculation. Of course this visual confirmation is not limited to an attractive girl's Max Factored and Maybellined visage splashed with jissem; after all a guy can come on her belly or ass, sometimes to positive aesthetic effect, but if we accept fellatio as the ultimate treat for the male, then perhaps it stands to reason that the facial cumshot is the logically perfect conclusion.
One of the many appealing aspects of facial cumshots is their uniqueness - like snowflakes, each one is different. Even similar cumshots display subtle variations - here a particularly heavy strand of jissem is hanging delicately from a girls bangs, there a beautiful pair of lips is pouting with an enticing frosted covering. This of course leads the male on an endless quest for the perfect" cumshot - he is guaranteed to spend the rest of his life looking for it. The adult film industry really should be doing a better job in this endless quest. I mean, they are in a perfect situation - able to use some of the most beautiful women in the world, lots of cheap male actors, the directorial power to ensure that the end of every sex scene is a facial cumshot - why are there so many lame, uninspired facial cumshots out there ? Some of the guys look like they're on the fourth of fifth wad of the day. I propose an industry standard of 30 to 40 cc of ejaculate per cumshot. It should be simple to get across to the male actors - a higher rate of pay for substantial wads, and NO pay for watery, minuscule offerings. It's time for America to take the lead in this regard. Will any of our spineless politicians take action ?
The American medical establishment could lend its support here too. Surely there must be drugs/dietary aids that yield heavier amounts of ejaculate. Proposed name for sample drug: Mojiztrol. It would be nice if the average guy could fill up a Dixie cup with thick hot cum by taking a safe, easy to use prescription once or twice a day. Then when he finally gets a date with that hot new secretary at work, and she's going down on him and looks up at him and purrs "Cum in my face baby" he KNOWS he's not going to leave her disappointed. But alas, our medical research facilities waste time and money on boring shit like heart disease and AIDS.

It's not a privilege, it's an inalienable right. It's granted to you by your existance. It can only be taken away by due process or your own abdication of it.
Privilege implies you have to be a good little boy before it applies to you, and that it can be taken away at any time for any reason.

SCO asserts that the GPL, under which Linux is distributed, violates the United States Constitution and the U.S. copyright and patent laws. Constitutional authority to enact patent and copyright laws was granted to Congress by the Founding Fathers under Article I, 8 of the United States Constitution:
...
The software license adopted by the GPL is called "copy left " by its authors. This is because the GPL has the effect of requiring free and open access to Linux (and other) software code and prohibits any proprietary use thereof. As a result, the GPL is exactly opposite in its effect from the "copy right " laws adopted by the US Congress and the European Union.
What a fucking douchebag. Darl, it's called contract law. Look into it.
The server that was compromised was using a non-default rsyncd.conf option "use chroot = no". The use of this option made the attack on the compromised server considerably easier. A successful attack is almost certainly still possible without this option, but it would be much more difficult.
Maybe I can't see the forest for the trees, but why would you NOT want to be chrooted?
Gasoline with ethanol added does, while also being better for your car. And E85 -- 85% ethanol, not 10% -- uses less oil and costs about $0.10 less than regular gasoline where it's available.
The capper, though, is the claim that it takes more energy to make a gallon of ethanol than you get by burning it. One of the most vocal proponents of this view is Cornell University ecology professor David Pimentel. In an analysis published in 2001 in the peer-reviewed Encyclopedia of Physical Sciences and Technology, Pimentel argued that when you add up all the energy costs--the fuel for farm tractors, the natural gas used to distill corn sugars into alcohol, and so on--making a gallon of ethanol takes 70 percent more energy than the finished product contains. And because that production energy comes mostly from fossil fuels, gasohol isn't just wasting money but hastening the depletion of nonrenewable resources.
for every $1 that the US spent on the Apollo program, $23 went BACK into the economy. This (if done right) will do far more than any phoney tax cuts ever will.
Where does that figure come from? US government programs are horribly inefficient. Like Corn ethanol that midwestern farmers insist is the next big thing... most of the money goes to ADM. For every $1 in revenue ADM has related to corn ethanol, the US gov't spends $30. It would be far cheaper to just pay the corn farmers to pick their pud than to pretend corn ethanol will ever be useful.
Anyhow, tax cuts are just as good for an economy as gov't spending. That tax cut money goes somewhere, maybe it goes into a bank account and the bank can lend the money out for someone to buy a house. Maybe it buys a yacht. Maybe it buys something else. That's better than being in the gov't coffers and ending up paying for a study on some senator's pet project with little or no redeemingvalue.
