Watching this and the Sycamore Networks IPO, I find a really frustrating trend, that the brokers underwriting the IPO bid the price of popular 'net IPOs up incredibly high before releasing them for public trading.
I'm not sure what the exact price was, but VA sold shares initially for about $30. Then, when the public could get them, these shares had risen approximately $270 each.
The Sycamore Networks IPO went almost the exact same way (though it was first available to the public around $200).
I spent some time interning in trading for an investment bank, and as I recall someone once told us that an issue should be priced slightly below where the brokers expect it to stabilize once it's publicly traded. So a $14 issue should end up trading in the $20 range.
Unless I'm missing something substantial, both the companies and the public are getting screwed on IPOs like VA and Sycamore.
Seriously, that's a great idea, but not to be a jerk, other than maybe those big-mother Foster's cans or a slurpee, where can you get a 32 oz can of anything?
That said, if it could cool off a Foster's can like that, work would be a lot more fun.
To me, this represents an Enigma. If Prince is legally no longer known as prince, I would think that domains such as:
prince.com and theartistformerlyknownasprince.com
should not be covered by this restriction.
However, since his name is not currently part of any ISO Standard character set, and thus can not be a part of a url, I would think that this means that any website devoted to prince would not be covered by this restriction.
I just got an email from my broker which stated: "There is no indication that the offering is going public today. Call me after 11 AM to discuss"
Can someone please let me know what's going on?
Also, has anyone found a place on the net that will auto-email you the instant RedHat hits the street (whenever that is)? I'd rather wait for an email than have to hit -reload all morning.
Can someone please confirm when RedHat is going public? I was under the impression that it was today (Monday August 9th), however this article mentions that it is in fact Wednesday the 11th? I checked RedHat's website, but couldn't find any information besides the old June press release. Can someone please help so I don't miss this one?
Sorry for a useless comment, but I thought "do you also flame people who invite you to parties on nights you are busy?" was hysterical.
It reminds me that last night during the 8 PM showing of Eyes Wide Shut, someone in the theater's cell phone started ringing, which prompted someone else to yell out "The Market's Closed"

I'm pretty sure this'd only benefit womankind and a small percentage of mankind.

Who's making all the money here?
"The Linux SWAP file is limited to 128 MB RAM"
Admittedly, I could be wrong, but does this sounds AWFULLY funny to anyone else?

Can someone please point me to some info on tuning apache for the best possible performance?
