Your claim is that "one man" should not be able to affect any public corporation's stock price? So by that measure, hiring a CEO or firing a CEO should not affect a stock price. Having an excellent CEO should not affect stock price positively, nor should having a terrible CEO affect it negatively. Really??
Does that REALLY make sense?
It has less than nothing to do with some misguided sense of caring about the 10,000 strong proletariat workers vice the fatcat bourgeois CEO...
If you use the charisma of a CEO for a company's benefit, then you must expect the potential loss of that CEO to have a negative effect on the share price. Apple must realise that, just like Apple shareholders do.
No, it is completely logical if the utility that you gain by enjoying the use of the item exceeds the utility you would have gotten from the money gained by auctioning it to the highest bidder.
Not really. You can sell to the highest bidder, buy a cheaper used product, and still get all the enjoyment of using it AS well as getting a profit. Win-win.
If you're going to argue that there's a greater utility to opening the box and using the new product, then you are admitting that the unopened box is worth more.
But by opening the box, you're increasing the value of all the remaining unopened boxes.
- Buy 5 x n unopened boxes of something rare that isn't being produced.
- Open 4 x n and drink them[1]
- Sell remaining box for more than the 5 boxes cost
- Profit!
This is a giant sham. Tax revenues are down because the economy is down, yet Congress is spending as much as ever and proposing more. We can't even fund the stupid digital converter program!
And cars and TVs are not necessities. (looks at layer of dust on TV remote, and laughs. Thinks about registration and insurance costs exceeding petrol(gas) costs for car, and winces)
PLEASE, with the govt quit trying to come up with new and creative ways to waste and spend our tax dollars!??!!?
Creative? New? Nah. But a waste and spend, sure.
What good is getting rid of old cars for new, if we don't have dependable bridges to drive over? (Remember that one that collapsed a couple years ago?).
Yes, but his arithmetic says '4 vouchers for a total of $10,000-$18,000' - that would scrap 4 cars, not 1, but further he says only one car is being scrapped.
Removing IE breaks a lot of functionality in XP, so I doubt they can simply have bundled and unbundled product lines like they do with WMP. Windows would require massive retrofitting to make IE that replacable.
So would MS maintain two very diffrent OSs in order to continue selling the completely integrated product in America, or would they make IE swappable?
Sell Europe Windows 95 for the next 10 years. See how they like that.
That's a really, really good point... I mean, unless the EU intends for everyone to roll their own FTP or HTTP client, there's got to be *some* way to access stuff over a network that comes "bundled" with the OS, like yum or whatever. I'm sure that if it were a Microsoft "Network-Accessibility Application Downloader," Opera would go crying back to mommy about that.

If you haven't then why is the cop asking you to take one?
Because it's at a RBT (random breath test) station. They set up at the side of the road and often pull over a stream of cars and test. Quite random. You can refuse the test, and get hit by an assumed DUI.
Doesn't it usually rely on a blood test for the court evidence? I'm fairly sure the breathalyzer is just used to indicate that they've got someone who has drunk some alcohol, cough medicine, mouthwash, etc, and to send them to a hospital to get bloodtested.

Then suddenly Opera could bitch about alphabetical order being unfair to them.
Quick! Trademark the _Aardvark browser!
If nothing else, that idea would promote leaner binaries for operating systems, browsers, etc.
Explains the burning sensation, then.
Erm, but isn't the fact that Wikipedia actually is a pretty good source for very many things people are searching for on Google important?
But isn't the fact that most people on the internet are only searching for pron? And the ones that aren't are liars :)
I think that's both insane and wrong!

Have you seen the state of the world today? It's a shambles! The economy is collapsing
I noticed. Making your way in the world today takes everything you got.
I read that as "Milking your way in the world today ..."
Sick puppy am I.

The taco bell in my city doesn't have one, but it is right next to the only hotel without roaches so you can use their free one.
The wifi killed all the roaches.
Ok, I admit, I don't really know too much about them. I bow to your expertise. ;)

You understand that it is possible that the government could do more than one thing at a time, right?
Most of us are painfully aware that the government can do multiple stupid things at the same time.
And they seem to suffer from resource deadlocking. :)
>>>>It costs about 50,000 miles worth of gasoline (energy cost)
>>No, gasoline is not necessarily used to make cars.
I was talking about energy cost you twit! Jeez. I even SAID so in my original message, which you somehow failed to read???
You might use a standard measure of energy cost, then. kW/h? Make it easy to convert to a dollar cost, too.

I'm also afraid a little over this required scrap clause. It might cause us to lose more of some classic cars that can and SHOULD be restored.
Someone might have what is currently a 'junker' GTO or Camaro...and with this, the car is scrapped, and a piece of history is lost.
If they have to do this law, maybe they can make some provisions that antique and historically valuable cars can be saved if they are to be restored.
Typically, cars like that would have a market value significantly higher than the coupon value.
Yes, but his arithmetic says '4 vouchers for a total of $10,000-$18,000' - that would scrap 4 cars, not 1, but further he says only one car is being scrapped.
Nobody produces ethernet cards because you're supposed to have onboard ethernet.
Nice, until you fry the ethernet on the motherboard a month or so after you get it. Annoying to replace the mobo then.
Make that a controlling interest then. 1 share doesn't cut it.
How likely is this to affect the US?

Yes, but wouldn't that "research" just involve getting drunk and blowing into a tube? Hell, I could do that this weekend!
Of course, you'd need to test against a wide range of premium single malt whiskies to validate the test.
Indeed. It would be an argument to be in for longer.
