Or maybe they underestimated the cost of the loss of customer goodwill the split would cause vs the cost of the "underlying cause".


Or the reasons for the split have already failed to pan out.

If the split was primarily so that they could go to Hollywood and say "No, we're just a streaming company, that DVD division is over there so just negotiate with us", I've never thought that would work. They weren't going to fool anyone.

I bet they weren't surprised by the customers walking or even the number of angry customers; I bet they discovered nobody in Hollywood was fooled and suddenly inclined to change even one letter of their contracts simply because they had "divested" their DVD product.


I think you misspelled 'amirite'. Also, yesterday's APPL fall was like 6%. Right on all remaining points.


I'm not sure what Appel Pete Corp has to do with anything, but AAPL was also down 6%.


Number 3 looks interesting. Maybe become a cloud-based competitor to VBulletin.

(Make sure that transitioning from the old forum to the new one is as painless as possible, though. Forum members usually hate any changes to their forums.)


Transition part never thought about but very important yeah!


You could also try selling the Latin-America version (Spanish only) cheaper than the USA-English version.


    "It's not pretending if they've muted you, you're being ignored."
But does FB tell you when somebody mutes you?


No.


Thank God. I don't think my ego could handle it,


Do they at any time say how much faster than light are those neutrinos moving? 1% faster? 100 times faster? I couldn't see that info anywhere.


0.002% faster.


+/- 0.002%


"+/- 0.002%"

How did you derive a negative bound? A negative bound suggests that arrival times could be slower than c.

The paper indicates that arrival times are always faster than c.

From the paper:

"An early arrival time of CNGS muon neutrinos with respect to the one computed assuming the speed of light in vacuum of (60.7 ± 6.9 (stat.) ± 7.4 (sys.)) ns was measured."


Perhaps my one-word comment was an insufficient indicator of my sarcasm. 't'was a joke, good sir.


a velocity 20 parts per million above the speed of light


My condolences Ed.


I wonder how much the name "Moodle" hindered its adoption.


I have attended two public colleges in North Carolina, and both of them are migrating towards it as their primary LMS. So, obviously not that much.


Sincerely, I'd prefer all my digital remains to be cremated.


Same here; I do like to keep an archive for myself, but it's safely stored in a truecrypt volume and I don't think I'll ever share that password.


Your grandchildren will be able to crack that in seconds. :-)


Haha.. a nice thought. Moore's law as time capsule.


Yeah, what's up with that zero-sum-game malarkey?
