4/10 Can an impartial stock investor please clarify the following statement
for me so that I can vote to the best of MY interest and not the
interest of the CEO/CTO/CFO?
"Approval of an amendment to X's 200X Stock Plan to increase the
number of authorized share of Class A common stock issuable
thereunfer by 6,500,000"?
\_ It is hard to say, without knowing more about the companies
condition. They are trying to increase the amount of preferred
shares available to sell, in case they need to raise capital.
This generally dilutes existing shares, but might be needed, if
they are low on cash or something.
\_ If I give you more details would that help? The company has
between 10-20K employees, their stock was inflated to
ridiculously high in Q4 2008 but has since then tanked about 40%.
\_ They might also be supplying shares for stock options and ESPP.

room or wherever your type does these things.

pictures. -aspo |

4/10 Next week is our one year anniversary of not having sex.
What should I get her? I wish I was kidding. Life has become
a tart, bitter joke where my only joy is the tiny hope my pain
amuses the few motd users left.
\_ teach her the joy of garden work and WOOD CHIPPER.
See link:www.mercurynews.com/breakingnews/ci_8877016
\_ Get yourself an inflatable love doll, introduce it to her,
and say that thanks to her, it and your palm are your only
sources of sexual gratification for the last year.
\_ Real Doll is better, albeit much more expensive. Fleshlight is
affordable and is still better than inflatable doll.
\_ The crappier it is, the better. The point is to show
how pathetic she is making his life.
\_ True. -- PP
\_ Actually, I'm pretty bored with this. You're obviously not doing
anything about it.
\_ I was about to post the same thing. This "no sex" joke is dead.
OP should give it a rest. Same lame post every time yet we never
get any feedback at all when we ask questions. Long running and
now beyond lame dead joke. |

4/11 Need a super easy primer URL to learn combination vs. permutation.
Better if it's meant for kids. Thanks. -lib art major
\_ Combination cares about grouping, not order. Permution includes
order. You can convert the number of permutations to combinations
just by dividing by duplicate group counting due to
order-sensitivity.
\_ How about:

4/10 68% of the Republicans still approve Bush. SAY WHAT?
http://www.gallup.com/poll/28093/Bush-Job-Approval-29-Lowest-Administration.aspx
\_ Stupid people of America, unite! Bush is your man!
\_ It takes a real Conservative to really appreciate GWB.
Obviously, there aren't many Conservatives on motd.
\_ ^Conservative^idiot
\_ Case in point, the above knee jerking libural
-emarkp #1 fan
\_ On the contrary, I think most Real Conseratives are horrified
by Bush. Hence the historically low approval ratings.
\_ I honestly don't understand most of the above comments. GWB has
preciseley 2 conservative stances: 1) lower taxes, 2) national
defense (and really #2 shouldn't be a conservative principle, it
should be an American one). I can't wait for GWB to be out of
office, except then he'll be replaced by left-wing commies or Bush
#3 (McCain) -emarkp
\- keepin mind the number of "independents" are growing
so the remaining Rs are more exreme/SIVs.

4/10 Why do people (myself included) like watching movies or TV series, or
reading novels? Why are humans so fascinated about stories that they
consciously know are not real? Do other animals exhibit such behavior?
\_ http://youtube.com/watch?v=_LHoyB81LnE
\_ That is FUCKING AMAZING
\_ It is amazing. I think it's partially trained behavior, but
still, the elephant almost certainly has a conceptual
understanding of what it's doing. There's also a good amount
of data on drawing/painting in great ape species.
Elephants, great apes and dolphins can self-recognize in
mirrors and presumably on TV and in movies. I remember
a nature show on Koko the gorilla where she was reacting
to videos of male gorillas when they were looking for a
mate for her.
In most ways, gorillas and chimps have at least the cognitive
ability of a small human child, and they could probably
enjoy the chimp equivalent of Teletubbies. -tom
\_ This is a hoax, pure and simple.
\_ It's not a hoax.

-tom
\_ How many elephants did they have to TORTURE to
teach them these tricks? This is BARBARIC. Animals
should roam wild, free, and happy. ANIMAL
TORTURE. FREE THE ELEPHANTS!!!!!
\_ Until I see a video of the elephant doing this
without a person (not a zoom that only shows the end
of the trunk) it's a hoax.
\_ http://youtube.com/results?search_query=elephant+painting&search_type=
\_ until you stop being an idiot, you're an idiot.
\_ Dang it, he draws a better elephant than I do!
\_ Maybe the elephant is tracing out some faint shape on the
paper which the audiance can't see from far away. But even
if so, it's still amazing.
\_ Why do people like to get drunk or take drugs or play video games
for hours on end? Probably for the same reason: to escape from their
mostly unhappy lives.
mostly unhappy lives. --wkahan@cs.berkeley.edu
\_ I guess that's the reason. -- OP
\_ Why do people like to do anything at all? |

\_ So are the remaining Ds.
\- that's true to some extent but there is a difference in
the R and D populations, but it is hard to explain without
drawing a picture
\_ No, the number of Ds is remaining constant, or even slightly
increasing.
\_ Loyalty and subordinance to authority are pretty strong
\- well if we are talking about the last year, rather
than a "generational" trend, more than the number of
Ds changing, the D-leaning Indeps have increased a lot.
\_ Loyalty and obedience to authority are pretty strong
Conservative virtues.
\_ As are showing strong stance for America (don't flip flop)
and never showing weaknesses and never admitting mistakes.
\_ As are marching in lockstep to sound bites for Lefties. (Bush
lied, people died, etc.)
\_ The Left is united by a common enemy (Bush) but if you actually
went to a demonstration or paid any attention or even looked
at the Zombietime site, you would know that you are full of
crap. It is more a temporary coalition of 100 different
special interest groups. Read The Nation letters section
sometime.
