        \_ What, and the dude didn't find some way to spin that into an
           anti-global warming screed?  He is slipping!

10/10   I seem to recall someone on here saying in March that oil was carrying
        a large risk premium and should be about $50/barrel based on supply
        and demand. Looks like we might get there. $77 now. I hope you
        sold your oil futures a while ago.
        \_ but Goldman Sachs says it was going to go to 200 or 300!
        \_ Damn.  People are going to switch back to gas guzzlers now.
        \_ wait, I thought it's China and India that drove up the demand...
           what happened again?

10/9    bought GS at 100 guy -- did you sell at 133 like I suggested?
        \_ I sold after hours like I said I was going to. I don't remember
           the exact price, but it was somewhere near there.

10/10   RED LEADER:  Negative!  It didn't go in.  It just impacted on the
        surface.

10/9    damn you all powerful ACORN for creating this economic

        \_ We'll never imprison CEOs and CFOs responsible for
           the financial decisions that led to today's financial crisis.
           They were doing exactly what was CORRECT in the context of
           free-market, where they're maximizing profit. They did everything
           by the free-market book, and were being good Capitalists. You
           simply don't imprison Capitalists in America.
           \_ Michael Milken might have something to say to that.
              \_ That's right: "You imprison patsies!"

10/8    Evacuate?  In our moment of triumph?  I think you overestimate their

           electoral race is over.

10/7    Was it just me or did McCain's "us" gesture look like the
        classic motion for signifying a jerkoff? And, um, where
        did he go when the debate wrapped up? He just disappeared.
        We were expecting that he'd at least have an interview
        lined up with Fox, but nope-- just vanished.
        \_ that's not true, "my friend".
           \_ Really? Where'd he go? He shook hands for a bit,
              then bam, gone. Obama stuck around shaking hands
              and taking pictures for a long time.
              \_ Who'd want to shake hands with him after he jerked off?

10/3    Wow, Cramer is telling people to sell any pop wtf

10/3    I don't really understand why the Ted Stevens quote about the Internet
        being a series of tubes is considered so mock worthy.  It's not a bad
        metaphore.

           he was talking metaphorically.

10/3    Short ban to expire Wed night 11:59pm (I believe), after Dubya signed
        the bailout.  If I were a criminal, I'd let the shorts get positioned,

10/3    I'm old and know a little French and Spanish.  How hard would it
        be for me to learn Russian?
        \_ russian is notoriously hard. you may enjoy learning "mat".
        \_ The answer really depends on your MOTIVATION. What is the
           primary reason for learning Russian? Business? Love?
           Traveling?
           \_ I think the US is going to collapse financially.  At least
              I won't freeze to death in Russia if they have all the oil
              and natural gas.
                  \- recommend you learn "mat". ok spasibo.
              \_ Russia is one of the worst escape plans I've heard of.
                 Why not just go whole hog and plan to move to Darfur?

10/2    Joe Biden's eyes sure are weird.

           \_ I hope so. I want socialism NOW. Please tax everyone. I have
              nothing, hence nothing to lose.           -typical young guy

10/2    I have a Maildir with 100s of thousands of mails.
        Is there some tool i can run on the command line (local server
        access is available) to sort this into IMAP directories by date
        (Doing this over IMAP with a mail client like thunderbird is just
        too painfull).  tnx.

10/1    Say hello to another "lost decade", or,

9/29    DJIA down 6.98%.  Did this break any record?
        \_ No. 10/19/87 it plunged 22.61% and 12.82% on 10/28/29.
           \_ Largest single-day point drop in history, though.
        \_ well, biggest percentage decline since 1987

9/29    I just bought a new Nikkor and it says I must send it my warranty card
        within 10 days of purchase if I want the full FIVE year Nikkor
        warranty. Must I send it the card? Also the warranty says "It is not
        transferable", so does that mean when I send in my card, I can no
        longer sell it with the warranty (making the lens much less valuable)?

            based login was failing
        \_ it was pretty sick. Possibly the LDAP server was offline.
