No, it means that A) some rich dude got a good hint that a company will be climbing soon and make some easy money or B) some poor schmoe in a vain hope of easy money is needed by the rich dudes to buy the stock they're unloading with top price just before it crashes.

If a snowmobiler [sic] can't detect whether they've crashed or not, they shouldn't be snowmobiling:)

The problem are the people who design that poorly. If one writes one's software to take advantage of dynamic typing *while* making sure that the application logic is intact (e.g. calling DoSomething() only on classes that implement it), one is fine. Just because something can be used badly doesn't mean it will be.
What is up with the MUD content on/. the past weeks? It's like the Mudconnector around here. I, of course am coding my own codebase, endymion, which is better than anything else:)
Use a browser that allows to view cookies before accepting them (I like Opera best in that regard, for the fine-grained control of accepting; but something else may be as good.) Always view all cookies -sure, it's a bit more work to decide which ones to keep and which not, but you'll have blocked all the ad sites within a week. I as a rule don't accept any cookies, unless they're required for some sort of registration *coughslashdot* and I trust the site. If the site 'needs' cookies for creating dynamic content, I find another site. And I never accept 'last visit' cookies.
The premise was that the OP said they were selling less but the margin was higher, and inferred they wanted to sell more. Someone wondered why they'd want to sell more, to which I replied that if they can sell as many CDs with the new higher margin as they did before, they'll make even MORE money.
Also, it *might* be they just want to have more people to listen to them. You know, like an artist.
Make sense?
There's no point in posting AC if you're going to put your name on the end, God. But I suppose You knew that. Anyway, since You are around, I'd REALLY like one of those Mac G5's. I've been good since the spaghetti incident, and I said I was sorry.
>I think there's some truth to this. If an artist can make as much (or even more) money selling fewer records, then there's not a need to sell millions.
You don't meet people often, do you? You can make *more* money if you sell more.

What, you mean the 'free press', the 'watchdog of the government'?
It looks like he was just in 'a panel of experts', which would suggest he was on his own. Hopefully, if that is the case, there will be litigation. I think you can do whatever you please on your own time even in the US.

I also happen to work for a large bank. I shouldn't tell you this, but here's our system:

<form method="post" action="php/suggestion.php">
<input name="submitter" type="text" length="30"
maxsize="50"
<input name="department" type="text" length="30"

<input name="subject" type="text" length="30"
maxsize="50"
<textarea name="suggestion" cols="30" rows="10"
<input type="submit" name="Send suggestion">

The script does validation and then e-mails it to the department handles the suggestions.
Geez.

It would very much *kill* performance on a device that moves constantly. It'd make things safer, sure.

No, it isn't.

Well, A) *HE* is probably not releasing anything himself and B) it's probably an assistant's idea, but it's still nice to see.
I think GNU/RMS assumed HE would be a GNU/US Presidential candidate at this point.

I'm sorry, I forgot to facilitate for retards. 'What if I sold 50 x $10 CDs instead of 30 x $10' was the extension inferred in my post.

Completely untrue. The monarchist cattle mentality of humans requires leaders, heroes. A quote is just an observation by a famous person.

Hopefully /. won't follow suit firing anti-MS writers. Then again, no more duplicates.. hard one.
