But of course that's EXACTLY why they don't want ANY betting. It's too easy for it to impact the integrity of the game. And since there's no way to regulate or insure that a player only bets FOR his team - the only thing to do is enforce an immutable and total abolishion. And remember...

What makes you think he wasn't betting on baseball through his whole career? Surely you're not prepared to take his word for it? Were you lying to me then or are you lying to me now Pete? At this point, it doesn't matter what he did on the field - he's lost all credibility and demonstrated...

FYI - here's the text of EO 10990 - not sure how it allows the government to "take over all modes of transportation and control of highways and seaports" as cited by Predictor (citing from that website): <p align="center"><font size="3" face="Arial"><b>Executive Order 10990</b></font></p>...

Don't believe everything you read on fringe web sites. The executive orders that you listed were NOT signed by GWB. They are much too old - example, executive order 12933 was dated October 20, 1994, EO 13111 on 1/12/99, and EO 13174 on 10/27/00. Bush's first EO was around 13200. FYI...

You can't get DSL from two providers on the same line. You'd need two lines - but there's little/no benefit since both lines will go through the same central office equipment. You'd need a backup that didn't share the same physical plant for it to make sense.

Even organizations with despicable messages get protection under the Bill of Rights. It's a double edged sword - to protect everyone's freedom of speech, we have to be willing to let the neo-nazis, the Farakahns, and all the other hate mongers rant their rants. At least until they commit...

No TV solution will match the real estate you'd get from 3 high-res screens (TFT or CRT). Yes the 42" screen is much bigger physically, it is not "a lot more screen space" - the computer display resolution will probably be about (or less) than just one of the 19" displays and you won't have as...

If you also have a normal joint bank account - you should be able simply write a check to yourself from your trading account and deposit it into your joint bank checking account. Sames names are on the trading account check and on the deposit account, so they shouldn't blink. I've been doing...

You should always try going to the horse's mouth first - i.e., see if the CBOE has any information posted about the subject. In this case, the answer isn't as black and white or simple as suggested above. The following is from the CBOE's Option Corner: QUESTION: If an investor...

End of year collars after a good move up is a common protection strategy (disposition being based on what prices did after the first of the new year). Don't know about any end of calendar month oriented setups being constructed for customers though, the places I've worked typically implemented...

An interesting rationalization since the "artists" aren't taking the financial risks involved with cutting, publishing, distributing, and advertising the product. If an "artist" produces a total crap album that no one buys, the "artist" isn't out a dime - the production company is.

The answer is obvious if you think about what goes on the CDs and what goes on the DVDs - The CDs are the primary distribution channel and revenue source for those producing the music. On the other hand, the DVDs are a secondary (sop up the gravy) distribution channel to which the movies...

Oh, so because they're stealing from people who are making a lot of money - it's OK. Sorry, I didn't understand there was a double standard involved here. No one said anything about "feeling sorry for them" - just that stealing (regardless of from whom) was still stealing. But...

What are you talking about - none of the exchange traded options expired today. And unless you know whether those puts were being bought or sold, you don't know what the general bias is - if big numbers of puts were being bought, they could be hedges against an after the first of the year...

Sorry, but that's probably one of the most ridiculous and naive things I've read in a long time. Hell, let's everyone start boosting cars - maybe it'll make those rat bastards in Detroit lower the prices. You know, gasoline is pretty pricey too - perhaps everyone should start knocking over...

blackguard - Haven't you figured it out yet dude?? It's all a result of how The Matrix was programmed by the machines, man!! Shhh, find Neo and your questions will all be answered - or Find Nemo and have a much more enjoyable time :) :) :)

But if DVD quality movies could be downloaded in minutes and played in full quality and Dolby sound on your home theater system....then would it be OK?? Is it the relative inconvenience of stealing movies that makes it less attractive or is there really some manifest moral difference between...

Wonder if they could just sell the mash to Australians? Afterall, Vegemite is made from the yeast left overs from making beer. Maybe they'd also eat the leftover mash from Whiskey making :) :) :)

For clarification - Are you talking about a partially RE-formated disk? i.e., you had a formatted disk with data files on it but accidentally started a reformat pass on the disk but stopped it and now want to try to recover as much of the original data as possible?

Use high quality CDRs for backups, not the bargain spindles. Run diagnostics on your drive to make sure it's operating correctly before cutting a backup. Store your disks in jewel cases. If you have much in the way of disk capacity to backup through, CDs make a poor backup medium. Consider...
