company insiders dumping stock http://finance.yahoo.com/q/it?s=SCOX
If I'm reading that right, at the same time that insiders have dumped 119,000 shares, institutions (pension funds, mutual funds) have bought 1,829,000 shares... so there must be other individual investors who are selling too. It would be interesting to know if any of those individual investors are selling large positions, and if any have connections to the insiders. Too bad for the investors in the mutual funds.
US Airways is (at least they were in July and August) charging $10 in the main cabin for meals. Given the quantity (not much) and the quality, it looked like a major rip-off.
Well, people *tend* to use the original, which *tends* to have a shiny car company logo, or rubberized end with car company name... you get the idea. Copies tend not to have these things. You could also make a point of inventorying your keys to the police officer who takes your complaint.
Beyond that, consider this scenario: you buy a car used from a local dealer. The old owner kept a copy of the keys and also lives in the area. He eventually sees his old car, gets in and drives it to his cousin's chop shop. My point is that there is more than one way for a car to be stolen with zero sign of forced entry (I had a car stereo stolen with no damage to the door - the thief even left it locked) and thus unless the insurance company has actual grounds to consider you a fraud, they could not possibly prevail if you sued them.
That would help, but here's another: make it so you can register and insure a big vehicle and a cheap commuter car "as one". You'd only get one set of plates and you could only drive one at a time (move plates). This would eliminate one of the big objections "I'd have to pay insurance on another vehicle." that keeps people commuting in their giant trucks-for-taking-the-family-vacationing.
And there's no sign of forced entry, so the insurance company says "you left the key in the ignition, tough for your claim.
And if you say "No I didn't. Here are my keys right here where they always are, on the same ring as my house keys and everything." are they going to accuse you of quickly replacing all your lost keys to defraud them? I'd like to see that in a court.
Who is/was your insurance co.?
Unfortunately, no technical details were given (such as programming language(s), database system, and general architecture type. However, a number of the bugs (like the one about not being able to graduate from a BA to Masters, and the one about the birth of a child) suggest an underlying poor relational design. If I knew more about the overall architecture, I could comment more about how many bugs one would expect. Certainly, other people have commented that you can have lots of bugs *before* you release and start taking the program seriously...
I understand EDS has often gotten away with shoddy work for the government. I don't know why (political payoffs).
There's plenty of security preventing people from changing the results. Its called exit polling.
You're forgetting that the exit polls declared Gore the winner in Florida, by a pretty good margin. However, the *official* ballots told a different story, mostly because of all the accidental Buchannan votes. So without an audit trail, vote riggers could just say "Gosh, I guess those people reporting their votes to the exit pollers were mistaken or lying."
