It does, but, honestly, who reads them? i challenge one person to swear under penalty of perjury that they read the articles in Playboy. I find that they are poorly written, but that might be because I'm distracted.:-)
BTW, this article reminds me of the suckdot parody. "Linux possibly promoted somewhere." Fits nicely under the jihad penguin - which/. should definately adopt, IMHO.
You haven't disproved his point, if that's what you were trying to do. If the increase is twice as large, you're going to make twice as much money. Obviously. a stock split is really just a cosmetic and psychological change in share price.
Rob might've said, "Gosh, this is just pro-Sony hype, and hardly qualifies as news." An article about the PS II itself would be interesti, but this is just a propaganda piece/ report of a stock split. Is/. going to report EVERY split that happens in the tech sector?
It's obvious to me that Roblimo has a zero percent understanding of the stockmarket. The reason a stock splits is to lower the price of the stock so that people can afford to buy more shares. This happens approximately EVERY DAY in the stock market. Yahoo! has split about fifty times. Splitting a stock just drives up the price of a stock again by making it more attractive to low budget investors. It's not risky at all, and it certainly can't destroy a company. Notice how the article didn't explain how a split could possibly be risky! It basically raved about Sony. Sony is just making it easier to buy shares, and the hype is giving the split a lot of attention.
I guess Roblimo must've bought into Sony hyper hook, line, and sinker.

It took me a minute to realize that there was a fundamental flaw in your point #2. If the GM plants are sterile, they will produce no gametes. Hence, they will not be able to fertilize the gametes of normal plants. A sterile plant can not reproduce, nor can it give its genes to any other plant.
There once was a girl from Peru, who filled her panties with glue. She said with a grin, they paid to get in, and they'll pay to get out again, too!
Oh, wait, that's a limerick.

With regard to said sermon, a correction has been issued. Instead of 2000 years, the author meant, uh, 2121. Note also that said sermon was a joke, and that this is Christmas Day, and that some moderators have no sense of humor.
I am the plausible religious zealot troll. No sermon or good wishes, express or implied, were meant.

Out of Curiosity, what would you use? I'm going to put Linux on one of my boxes, and I'm looking for a good web server to use. What distribution of Linux, and what web server do you guys recommend?
I've dumped the alladvantage stuff. Now we can argue about real issues. Are you happy now? I read the posts, and I've read about computerized elections. This has nothing to do with alladvantage.

How Can You Have a "Paper Computer?" Does the technology even exist yet? Why does my desktop weigh 20 pounds if it does?
The thing that bothers me most about computerized elections is that they're almost always closed source. I don't think that the public officials who approve and certify them are qualified enough to tell what's going on. How do they know that there are no backdoors in the software, or ways for the company that makes them to change theoutcome of an election?
Sounds like there's a otential for massive vote fraud...
The greatest thing to happen to Linux is all these Linux startups going IPO. When a company like VA Linux's stock goes up 500% in one day, and breaks a stock market record, it attracts a lot of attention. It's in the papers, and Joe Middleaged guy sees it. I mean, I'd never heard of VA Linux, but simply having the word "Linux" in its name made it have the most profitable IPO ever! I've resolved to buy into the next Linux IPO. I'm also going to delete Windoze and install Red Hat 6.0! Woo hoo!
I'd like to hear someone give a convincing argument that the Apollo missions were filmed in a studio. There's plenty of evidence that it was a real misson. There's lots of stuff on the surface of the moon - mirrors and scientific equipment, for example. Pictures from the moon, moon dust. A capsule full of dusty astronauts reentering Earth's atmosphere. Think of the thousands of people who would have to be involved. I just don't buy it.
I don't believe everything that NASA says, however. I'm convinced that these probes for Mars were in fact military satellites destined for Earth orbit.
The Bible might not be the word of God. But, it was written by men who knew what's going on. Leaders have always wanted to do things like this. That's why it's not surprising to see it in the Bible.
Hell, I see this happening WAY sooner than 20 years from now. Remember Hillary's National Medical ID car, and the biometrics stuff that the Clintons are always pushing. They have a variety of excuses: the children, social security, health care. You can't say no to that, can you?

How do you lose a car? Cars can be stolen, or their owners can "lose" them to get insurance money, but you can't lose a car.
