Paul Samuelson's been feeding misinformation to econ studuents since the 50's. Here's a quote from his 1989 text: "The Soviet economy is proof that, contrary to what many skeptics believed, a socialist command economy can function and even thrive."
In the 50's he worried that office automation was going to replace all the secretaries, leading to widespread unemployment.
Aren't there areas near the continental shelves where the ocean bottom is being sucked back into the earth? You could just drop them there (in 200 feet of mud at the bottom of the ocean) and in a few million years they'd be back where they came from, in the outer core. All this stuff is not new, just refined out of tons of ore.
If a container does break, it still has to migrate through a couple hundred feet of mud before it pollutes the ocean. Any anybody who is capable of messing around under the mud at the bottom of the ocean is going to be sophisticated enough to handle a few broken cannisters.
What I want to know is: who is paying them 660K in sco source licensing reveunue last quarter? Did Microsoft make another payment, did they recategorize other income into that program; what's the deal? It can't possibly be real income.
It just blows me away that this P.O.S. company can STILL be selling at 20 times book value and in excess of a year's sales. With declining sales, losing money every quarter, and clueless management. The high-tech stock market is full of air, like cotton candy (or, more to the point, a bubble).
Twenty-five million is on the low side of sales to take a company public. It probably costs $50-100K per year extra to run a public company, get big-8 audits, set up an investor services desk, file SEC crap, live in a fishbowl, pay liability insurance for the board, etc, etc. At this size one would look to VC's.
Actually, nobody "needs" a car, the human race got along without cars for millions of years. Nor do we "need" telephones, air conditioners, clean water, or computers. So let's go back and live in the trees.
Sounds to me like BayStar is trying to dump its stock overseas, where SCO cannot monitor the sales. But if they are unregulated exchanges it's too bad for SCO. If person A wants to sell stock to person B, there's really nothing SCO can do about it.
The only way this is going to end is when somebody puts up a web site that continuously tracks every senator's and every cop's whereabouts. After all, they have no expectation of privacy once they venture outside their homes, right?
Just what we need is more gratuitous change in the basic directory structures. utmp has been moved from/etc to/usr/adm to/var/adm to/var/run. NOW where is it moving?
People love to move these things around because it's easy and it makes them feel useful, but its usually just an annoyance. There is no "best" place to put utmp. The names are arbitrary, deal with them the way the way they are.
All these wonderful new names are going to break existing configure scripts until configure's been updated to search them.
They have a ton of stock to unload and they have to try and prop the price up while they unload it. They are limited to 10% of the average daily volume by the terms of the agreement, so it's going to take them awhile.

You can write programs in whatever subset you want; but if you want to read someone else's programs you had better know it all. Which is why Perl is a write-only language.
If gas gets above about $10/gallon, the car makers can switch to vodka (ethanol), which is made from potatoes and has an energy capacity that's within a factor of two of gasoline.
"First of all, Longhorn has a mission not to break existing apps. If we broke existing apps, we'd be hurting our customers, our partners and ourselves," Scoble told internetnews.com.
A lot depends on the domain. But if your boss wants you to calculate the roi for a bunch of cash flows, or if you need to know how high the rocket will go, or how come this bubble sort runs all night long, or what interest rate equates to a mortgage payment on a 30-year mortgage of 100,000 with a monthly payment of $500, or what to price your product at to optimize profits, you might just need some math.

Hmm, I will have to go over to Ft Huachuca and
see if I can get a shot of the one that I've read is over there...
Maybe after we are secretly arrested and secretly tried we can spend some time in one of the new secret internment camps:

Who says it peaked with Jar-Jar? Watch for the cameo appearance of Barney the Dino in episode 3.
They are called "subduction zones", see http://volcano.und.nodak.edu/vwdocs/vwlessons/plat e_tectonics/part10.html

That's $824.8 million in NASA budgetary estimate dollars, which are not the same as real dollars.

What a coincidence! My financial information is stored in the same kind of database, so I cannot risk giving a copy of it to the IRS.
Hear Hear! If I want to marry my goldfish,
what business is it of the Government's?

80 days in fact, today's volume was 262,879,
and 10% of that is only 26,000 shares.
They have 2,105,263 shares to dump!
They have a ton of stock to unload and they have to try and prop the price up while they unload it.

Actually you can buy a conversion kit to run your car on restaurant grease (www.greasecar.com). And it's only $1.50 a gallon.
If gas gets above about $10/gallon, the car makers can switch to vodka (ethanol), which is made from potatoes and has an energy capacity that's within a factor of two of gasoline.

Here's another quote I remember:
"Windows isn't done until Lotus won't run".

wants you to calculate the roi for a bunch of cash flows, or if you need to know how high the rocket will go, or how come this bubble sort runs all night long, or what interest rate equates to a mortgage payment on a 30-year mortgage of 100,000 with a monthly payment of $500, or what to price your product at to optimize profits, you might just need some math.
This is a good point.
If I buy the argument that software should
be free, why not art?
IE if I buy a work of art, shouldn't I get a high-quality digital version that I can
modify and resell at will?
The good part about this is that Washington DC is only about 10 feet above sea level.
