Incorrect. You haven't actually lost anything until you decide to sell at the lower value. The market will come back, it always does. You just have to remember that investing is for the long haul ("day traders" are responsible for all the major flux in the markets, and at all times. they should be put to the wall).
Quantum appears to be the replacement for SPECTRE, which the films made up to replace SMERSH without upsetting the Russians too much.
The basic plot of the film is understandable, however the beginning and especially the ending are likely total mysteries to anyone who didn't see Casino. However, Quantum is not named in Casino and may or may not be the organization that Mr. White speaks of (the fact that White doesn't seem deterred at the opera where Bond shows up and flushes out the Quantum people indicates, to me, anyway, that they may not be related).
Casino Royale was a much better film than Quantum, if I do say so. Both are defiantly better than some Roger Moore tripe (he was better as The Saint on BBC than as Bond), but they're just not quite Goldfinger.
I saw the new Bond with my sister and one of her friends, neither of whom had ever seen a Bond movie before. They both hated it because they had no idea what was going on.
This is probably because for some reason they decided to make an actual sequel to Casino Royale. If you didn't see it, you won't have any clue what is going on in this one.
They trash all the nice cars by the opening credits -- the Aston-Martin and the Alfa Romeos. The rest of the film is full of greeny-weenie mobiles and a few Range Rovers.
Bond only nails 1 girl the entire time. What's up with that?
Also, the plot was down right reasonable -- a conspiracy between industrialists and government officials to back a coup in order to gain mineral rights... and the CIA is HELPING!! That's not a Bond plot, that's the Iraq war. WTF.
I hope that they rectify this in the next film. They're on notice, as far as I'm concerned.
There is about 20 minutes of dialogue in the whole movie, which is comprised mostly of long silence sandwiched between violent apes and some sort of visual representation of an acid trip.
I had dropped out of uni for a little while, so I wasn't covered by my parents' insurance at the time and we had to pay the full bill. But yes, the health care system in America is pretty broken.
A few years ago, I woke up with a terrible pain in my lower abdomen. I did a quick Google search and matched all the symptoms of appendicitis, so I got my parents to take me to the hospital.
The first doctor also thought that I had it and scheduled me for surgery. However, the surgeon said to wait for a while.
Turns out that it wasn't appendicitis and that I just had to fart really, really, really badly. Of course, 24hrs in the hospital to figure it out probably makes it the most expensive fart ever -- something around $5,000.
Yes, because I know that if I were searching for a new datacentre to host my own stuff, I would totally want to pick one that constantly appears to be under heavy load.
Clearly, that would indicate to me that there would be all sorts of resources at my disposal and that I can count on guaranteed stability.
In terms of your life's work actually contributing tangible benefits to man kind, computational biology is going to outstrip "IT" anyway. I don't think that decreased financial incentive is really going to be the kicker there.
I recently took a job at a web hosting company. During my interview with the senior admin, my 5-digit slashdot ID gained me major bonus points... especially since I'm only 24 years old.
The way I see it, any part of the day that I am not doing what I want to do, its work. If I'm there, they had better pay me. I am not a charity operation.
Mussolini's father had been active in the Communist Party in Italy, and his paper, Il Popullo, (spelling?) started out as a Socialist paper, only later breaking due to support for Italy in WWI while the Anarchists were on the rise and against the war.
It's pretty much all the same at that level. The only real difference between Marxism and Fascism/National Socialism comes down to the dialectic. Marxists are materialist/economists about history, while Fascists and Nazis believe in heroism and the quest for glory.
I would also suggest architecture. Its sort of like structural engineering, only more artsy. The difference is that between the Greeks (great architects) and the Romans (great engineers).
I'm not sure what isn't considered nerdy about the rest of those options.
Harvard and other big-name schools like that, especially Ivy schools which are older than the Revolutionary War, have endowments in the tens of billions. As you can see here, Harvard has nearly $40 billion on hand -- more than the GDP of some countries in the world.
Who the hell is going to try and push back against Harvard and why would they need government support? I think that's hardly a fair indicator.
And what did you replace Quark with? Certainly not Scribis. It doesn't even begin to approach the functionality of QuarkXpress. I wish something that ran on Linux would.
I voted for Obama/Biden for President, Mark Warner (D - former VA governor) for Senate, and Rob Wittman (R) for House.
In my former life (until July when I just couldn't take it anymore) I was a lobbyist. I've met every one of the candidates with a real shot at winning except Sarah Palin, and she's largely responsible for me not voting for McCain (that and all my friends and family in Iraq (in the military, i'm a cracker-american)).
Gilmore nearly bankrupted the state as governor and his wife, who had been an adjunct professor of classics at my school was a 'tard who made me catch cold in St Alban's in England in January by rambling on about insulae in a sleet storm.
I think I made all the right choices -- let's just hope they don't come back to bite me.
So, I saw your site, and see where you have a quote from Ken Thompson. Only, you attribute to him the authorship of C, when everyone knows C was created by Dennis Ritchie and Ken Thompson invented UNIX.

The message of 2001 is awesome. The film is not.

So yes, this "cyberchondria" really is a problem.

Or maybe I'm just being sarcastic.

Plus, you know, more chicks in bio.
This is great for Google's aims of collecting all the data in the universe
good thing I don't have the delta brainwave and am therefor immune to their evil!

The game is on.
MIT and Harvard are in Boston. Red Hat has been located in Raleigh-Durham, NC since like, forever.
That's about how old I can find mine, too. However, I joined when I was a freshman in high school, which was 98/99 -- so, somewhere in there.

No, you just didn't let it run all the way through.
The way I see it, any part of the day that I am not doing what I want to do, its work. If I'm there, they had better pay me. I am not a charity operation.
I see you've met Ms. Chokesondick already.
Ironic from a man who lives in a bubble, he's never had to have a real job his whole life.
At least someone in the tech industry still gets to enjoy a bubble?

you mean the thing that keeps OOo from taking 20 seconds to load, but makes the OS take an extra 5 minutes before it'll let you do anything?
