I think you misunderstood me. I agree that MS has no standard for drag-and-drop, and I also always use right-click drag for this reason.
My problem with Lotus Notes is not graphical, but that making a link/shortcut is called COPYING when no copying is being done. If I make a copy (in Windows, Unix, anywhere else) I expect the new copy to take up disk space, and have no effect on the original when it is deleted.
Hmm. This site mentions the problem (second bullet from bottom) but in the middle of the page also shows a dialog box that solves it. Perhaps the box is from a newer version?
And when you delete a message from one folder, it's deleted from all of them!
If you're aware of the virtual folder concept, this can be very powerful. But is a first-time user going to expect it? Of course not, he thinks the folders work like everywhere else, and copy means make a copy, not just a link. So many emails were lost at the last job where I used it, for this reason.
If the person you borrowed from wants his shares back your broker will organize another short for you without having to buy on the market.
I thought that this wasn't the case, but after some googling it appears you are right. I'm sorry, I had this confused with a margin call. Now I wonder, is there any time limit? I think many of us agree SCOX will eventually drop significantly, but how soon is anyone's guess. I wouldn't think you could hold on as long as you like.
That's exactly the point. People make money because they take on risk. There is a direct correlation between risk and reward.
Oh of course. But I would not say direct because then paradoxically you know exactly how much risk to take, removing your risk:) My comment was that risk/reward was not high enough as I saw it. But it was based on a misunderstanding of how shorts work when the price increases. Now I am not so sure.
When you short stock, there is always a risk that the person you "borrowed" the stock from wants to sell when the price goes up, and therefore you must immediately buy the stock at whatever the current price is. In addition, when it seems likely that will happen, investors may want to buy back and take the loss instead of taking the greater loss they will be forced into. This, in turn, makes the price go up and the situation gets even worse. Your AC parent thinks that this is what is going on now.
If not for the risk, I too would be shorting SCOX. As it is, I think it's going to burn a lot of people. I wouldn't want to be short 400 shares like you mentioned elsewhere. Best of luck though.:-/
Incidentally, a girl that went with us to the showing later told me that all the geek-bitching was the "cutest thing she'd ever seen." That was suitably emasculating, to be sure.
Seriously? My reaction would have been more like "she thought I was cute!"

You've been waiting all day for this, haven't you?
I have noticed this as well. Since then I've blocked IPs with download speeds that are clearly absurd.

After I climbed it, I got a t-shirt that says "This body climbed Mt. Washington". Ah, the local in-jokes.
Darl is a devour mormon.
Hey hey hey. Don't go spreading FUD about my homies in da LDS. They may be weird, but they're not cannibals!
ICP owns the majority of shares in Drugstore.Com
I always knew there was some drug connection to ICP.
Seriously. Is this what the Information Minister is up to these days? :)
Not yet.

My hardware specs are similar to yours. Oddly enough, I find Moz on Windows to be reasonable, but on Linux I just can't stand the wait. :(
Yeah yeah, I know. Use Firebird...
Really? I'm from New England and I've never seen this.

With cool stuff like this, it's no wonder MIT is number one in engineering.
Now that sounds awfully familiar... So Easy To Use, No Wonder It's Number One
That's always bugged me too. Somewhere I read a cop-out explanation that Latinum was the only thing the replicator couldn't, um, replicate.

People get paid to polish rods? Don't I feel like a sucker for doing it for free.
or he could be making a movie reference.
Perhaps they will be running zoo-vair.
However you may be able to rent a Magic Bus from the Who.
Mmm, luser bullion.
Yes, or that it sucks.
I know it's what the website says, but they're not serious. The French explanation is correct.
Interesting. I've never met anyone who doesn't!
