The way to cover yourself on a short is to place a market order to buy the stock at a level where the losses start to become unacceptable. So if you short at $50 and you don't want to lose more than $10 you set up a buy to trigger at $60. So even if it goes up to $100, you were on board for $40 of that so you still only lose $10. This is called hedging and is a very common practice in financial (and other) markets.
I AGREE!!! I think Europe and Japan and anyone else who's capable should spend more money on their militaries so they can stop these wackos who steal power and go around invading countries wherever and whenever they want!!
That holds true for now, but it won't forever, if mesh networks take off in a big way, they'll be just as well served by $200 linux machines from walmart dispersed around the network, of course, if they paid me to host some of their content I might consider it:)
also, consider what happens when a site with a story like this gets slashdotted, almost automatic distributed posting, somebody copies and pastes it and posts it here! QED!
I remember Eye of the Beholder on an XT! That was a great game, even the graphics were alright.
Then when EOB II came out I finally had a soundcard (adlib) to play it on, and boy did that set the atmosphere, the opening cut scenes didn't even animate and it was scary.
Those guys were really groundbreaking, back then EOB was AD&D on the PC.
Here's to the corporate monolith (NOT!!)
working OT is going to bring your hours up right? and you wage per hour is your salary divided by your hours worked? so if they make you work longer hours (from time to time is how they usually sneak it into your contract) then your wage per hour has to drop, and that might well be a drop from >41 to 41
I beg to differ. That the system you describe exists means that the US has become (in case anyone needed it spelled out) a plutocracy (gov't of the wealthy).
If I received a copy of an nsync track or pap band, I definitely wouldn't consider it 'financial gain' in fact I'd consider that as costing me money in storage and the bandwidth for transmitting it. Who can I sue for that?:)
if all the email clients had a little button saying "This is Spam" and if you click it the mail gets sent to some nice spam black list agency. They'd wait for about 10 people to do this, then verify it for the spam it is and then A) black list the spammer and B) send anti-spam email (subject: spam sender here )
nice and easy:)
Just think about how google works, I look for "slashdot" and what comes up in the first page of results? Now think why, it's because loads of other people have been there before me and they thought that www.slashdot.org was exactly what they were looking for.
now apply this to p2p, someone posts crap, I download it, it's crap, I delete it, problem solved, the file doesn't distribute because I don't share it, if nobody wants a file then it gets disregarded. okay so it won't be so effective against less popular music, but that's not the kind they're likely to try and propagate.
This kind of this has some crossover with the network theory post from today (yesterday?). If you're interested in P2P I'd recommend reading about it.
