There are comparatively few day traders in AMD. Watch the volume and size of trade, and institutional investment, if you want answers. If the stock does go down, then celebrate. It's called a "buying opportunity". I bought quite a lot when it was under twenty dollars last year, and will buy more when it goes down on this news.
That's certainly true! And it's a good point. For the majority holder of stock, somebody like Gates or Michael Dell, or countless others, a major sale of stock would deflate the price. So they announce it well in advance, do it over several days, and give a reason for it like "I want to buy Bolivia in cash". But for most investors, the sale of a their stock has almost no effect on the price, and they do indeed receive real currency for it. It's not fake or "just paper". It's money.
It's funny that you should say that, because Fermat lived at a time where mathematical techniques and methods of proof were considered valuable intellectual property. They weren't published in journals for all to see, and certainly weren't freely shared. Makes your post even more ironic.
Go to a financial site and plot Linux stocks versus NASDAQ. The plots don't at all match. Linux stocks have been rolling downhill all year (long before the NASDAQ) and have dropped much, much more. NASDAQ is down 35% from peak. LNUX is down 85%. The others are similar.
Well, stock value makes it possible for companies to acquire other companies and combine them together into something more efficient and productive, for one. Like RHat and cygnus are supposed to be.
Michael, if I can sell that paper for $100,000 to a real live person, then it's not just paper. Just because the value can fluctuate doen't make it worthless. (Unless it fluctuates to zero, which probably won't even happen to RHAT or LNUX).
It is disingenuous to call stock ownership "paper, nothing more." Not just disingenuous, but exactly wrong. It s like calling cash "just paper", except the value of a dollar is more stable than the value of a stock.
There's no way I'd drive a car that carried that much angular momentum. In a wreck, really, really annoying things could happen. Not to mention the problems handling the car over unusual terrain (eg bumpy)
Your arguement is of about the same quality as that of your typical "fundie," in that it is specious, overstated, and supported by nothing but your own assertion.

Ha! That's the best one here. It's worth pointing out that the incredibly shy Godel married a dancing girl.
Yes, but my point is, this is a "Sky is still blue" story. Reed worked for MS before. So did lots of other influential lobbyists, amny of them Democrats. MS can afford the big names. There is no "story" here except some very typical Slashdot Christian-bashing.
"Country club types" aren't that interested in tax cuts. They can pay lawyers to find tax shelters and loopholes. It' middle class Americans who are keenest on tax cuts because they often see the greatest marginal tax rate.
Anyway, as a Christian, I could make a good case that limited government is a moral objective. HOW limited is the issue between most American politicians. High capital gains taxes discourage people from investing for the future - which is a prudent thing for a person and a family. Prudence is an important Christian virtue, particularly when it relates to the future of one's family. It might not appeal to many of us here, but Reed's formulation isn't far-fetched at all. It bears pointing out, too, that most Democrats voted for the most recent capital gains tax cut, and Mr. Clinton (no pawn of Ralph Reed) signed it.
Before anybody reads too much into the hiring of a GOP lobbyist, keep in mind that MS has hired Democrat lobbyists as well. Why doesn't that merit a story on Slashdot? The GOP controls both side of Capitol Hill, so it certainly makes sense to employ a big name GOP lobbysist if you are one of the biggest corporations in America.
It's interesting to note that Microsoft gives about the same amount of money to each party. Like most companies, they hedge their bets. This article has more details.
Of course you weren't serious, but.. Offtopic- War isn't good for the economy. Unless you're only looking at manufacturers of guns or tanks.
That's called the "broken window" fallacy, described by a French economist, no less, Frédéric Bastiat. He describes how the repair work done by fixing a broken window only appears to be an increase in activity. But it fails to take into account what the window-maker could have been doing if he wasn't fixing the window. That production is lost. If breaking the window was good for the economy, then we could break all the windows and spur growth mightily.
War is the broken window writ large. What exactly is produced by creating weapons and blowing them up? Nothing but mess to clean up. On top of that there is the enormous loss of what all that effort could have produced. If you want to see how good war is for the economy, visit the Balkans, or Rwanda. The example always used is WWII in the US. But again, all the incredible effort could have been channeled into something constructive.
You could surf at level 4 or 5. Then you get zero posts. But who expects anything different out of such a godawfully stupid topic. "Emmet is interviewed by former Sex Pistol Johnny Rotten on the radio about queer website censorship in England." Just sit and think about that for a minute. Can you think of anything less interesting? Okay, maybe gopher breeding is less interesting, but it' s not nearly so ridiculous.
Good post. But it's worth pointing out that those linux stocks are still trading well above their IPO price. It's obvious that the initial fervor in demand was a huge misjudgement, though.
What does "the very clear differences between wrong and right, good and bad etc..." have to do with neo-nazis? The battle between good and evil is central to stories all through literature, all over the world, all through history. It's because that struggle is central to human nature.
The message in LOTR is universal (which is demonstrated by it's extraordinary popularity). This really has nothing at all to do with neo-nazis, except peripherally, like evil characters in the books, that they represent the worst in human nature.
So it's sort of like paying full retail for the box and getting your internet access for around $14 a month. That is not a good deal. It doesn't even sound like a loss-leader, like that i-opener thing.

Dual Athlon MB is expected in Q4 this year.
By the way, that was just in the last three months.
If only that link could've been sent to that 12,000 member ICANN At-Large mailing list.
Now, I'll laugh if Rob Malda does that to the Slashdot home page.

I'd suppose the validity of the opinion would depend on that utility.
