No way any of these trades should be unwound. You want to give an algorithm your wallet and let it make lightning trades on your behalf? Fine, but learn to live with the consequences.
These trades aren't being unwound to protect the company with the "glitch". Remember that for every transaction there is a buyer and a seller.
Let's say you owned one of those stocks and had a stop loss in place so that your shares would sell if the price dropped by 25%. You would have been hit and sold your stock near the low on a "glitch".
Most believe an average of 5 Degrees Celcius per year, the actual figure is more like 0.5 C per annum.
What the hell are you talking about? Most proponents believe an average of 5 degrees Celsius per year over the last decade? Yeah, a rise of 50 degrees C seems reasonable.
Oh for the love of god....THAT'S THE POINT ABOUT PRIOR ART! Where the fuck have you been??? That's the point about all these patent challenges, is their prior art. If so, then the patent is invalid.
Get a fucking clue!

"Well look, I already told you! I deal with the goddamn customers so the engineers don't have to! I have people skills! I am good at dealing with people! Can't you understand that? What the hell is wrong with you people?"
You don't get bonus points for "but he survived to feel the impact" on your autopsy report.
No, but if you're already a goner you might as well have some fun with it.
I've decided that if I manage to survive the exit and the falling, I'm going to aim for someone's swimming pool and then yell CANNONBALL during my last few seconds. Hopefully someone is around to witness it.
Better still, why not include a heating element that turns on when it's 2C or below?
Because up here in the Northeast it can easily stay below freezing for a month or more, whether or not it snows.

A Requiem For Saab
·
· Score: 1
I second this. I've owned Saabs all my life (900S, 9000CSE, 9-3, 9-5), and do all my own work, including some stuff that does require a hoist (rebuilt the transmission in my 900). The 900 was the easiest car to work on that I've ever seen. You could do brakes and rotors with basic tools in under an hour. And the parking brakes were in the rear, not the front.
As opposed to by accident? I'm with him...I also get crap reception at work, but it seems to be an odd gap in coverage since I can go 200 yards in any direction and get 5 bars. Overall I've been satisfied with AT&T and I've been with them for over 10 years.
The worth of his time is only relevant if he was trying to sell these for profit.
See, people have these things called hobbies that keep them entertained.
I, for instance, enjoy working on my car. Sometimes it takes me 3 or 4 times longer than it would take a shop. Is it worth my time? Absolutely--it's fun.
Unless it is realistic with a real chance of death should an air leak occur, or a system fails, such as Apollo 13, it will be almost meaningless. Of course, if the participants think there is a chance of death, even if a rescue is allowed that they don't know about, it might be OK and not taint the results.
Not only that, but they also know that they are not really going to mars. I would think the psychological effects would be much harder to endure if you knew that you were just stuck in a bunker on earth and could feasibly go back to your normal life at any point.
I'm likely quite ignorant on this subject-- but *how* can a day trader (or even group of them) kill a company?
They can't. Even if a large group of daytraders attempted to drive a stock price down, they aren't actually affecting the underlying value of the company. It would quickly become apparent that the stock price was not accurately priced and buyers would come in.
Autodesk have been thought to do this for years already on the warez scene.
Autodesk are thought to have released their own cracks...
I don't know the validity of your statement, but I do know that they are quick to send their lawyers out if they think you are profiting with a pirated copy of their software.
I set up a website about 7 years ago when I was working for myself as a mechanical design engineer. The website showed some examples of my work created in AutoCAD, among other software packages. A few months after it went live I received a very threatening certified letter from a group of lawyers representing AutoCAD saying that they had no record of my company purchasing a license for AutoCAD. At that time I did not own a legitimate copy of AutoCAD. I wrote a letter back stating that the examples were created using a legitimate copy, that I was not currently using AutoCAD and that I would remove any references to it on my website if they wished. They then said that was cool and never pursued it again.
For what it's worth...I'm in China right now on a business trip and hardly anything is blocked. People seem to think that the Chinese government has some sort of master control over all the information flowing in and out of the country and that is just not the case. I have been denied on maybe 1% of the sites I've tried to access. All major Western news sites are freely available regardless of content. The Chinese people are certainly not being sheltered from the rest of the world's information.
For any "online" institution I've known, the tests need to be done at an approved institute under supervision, and after presenting proper ID, etc.
You might be able to fob off assignments on somebody else, but in a real school institution you could do this anyhow after classes.
I'm currently in an online MBA program through WPI. It is a fully accredited program and the degree I get is no different than if I were to be on campus (nor is the price of tuition). However, I have never had to go anywhere to take any test, nor has a camera been a requirement. I'd like to keep it that way, too.

So you want people who dislike established society to go and establish society?
How on earth do you short BTC?
It's not like BTC is currently traded by brokers and I don't know anybody who is selling BTC future contracts.
If you know a way to do this, let me know.. There is serious $$ to be made here.

Are you fucking kidding me?
Yes. I was grandfathered in from the original iPhone, to a 3GS, then a 4. Recently switched to a Galaxy S3 and kept my plan, even with LTE.

Still think they should let all the trades stand?
While they may not blow, it is inevitable that they will
Well, which is it?

No, he's right.
3G referred to the network. 3GS was an update to the 3G. 4 is named by the generation. 4S is an update to the 4 (but is the 5th iPhone).
There is no way they would now release "iPhone 5", especially to coincide with the release of iOS 6.

Even if all of that didn't happen, why didn't Apple or the guy try to call the phone rather than just remotely shutting it down?

I've owned a Garmin for well over a decade, and I've not seen one app on any phone that could match it for functionality.
Well of course you haven't..the only one that comes close was just announced. The point is that phones are rapidly heading in that direction.

PA is the abbreviation for the United State of Pennsylvania, in the New England area of Northeastern U.S.A.
I infer from your post that you have not graduated from a US grade school (not a bad thing if you are not a US citizen).
PA is not in New England.
