Reminds me of a particular D.H. Lawrence poem. There is surely more than one that is applicable to trader psychology, but the mentality of the self pity the previous poster alluded to always reminds me of one in particular.
Eagletech suing makes as much sense as putting your hand into a bag full of rattle snakes and then trying to kill the snake because you were bitten.

Thanks, that was what I was asking about. I appreciate it.
Regardless of whether or not it goes "way back," the usage of borrow with only an indirect object is and always has been incorrect and is clearly a grammar oops. Borrow requires an object but not an indirect object, and lend requires and indirect object and a direct object.
"Borrow" is what the person who uses the object does, and "Lend" is what the person who is the owner of the object does.
OT:
Watching the train wreck:
10 day 1 minute chart. Close today 4/11/2007 was 0.0026. Will either be a slaughter or a squeeze, I am voting shareholder slaughter simply because pinksheets shareholders always seem to lose in the long run, seems the only constant one can bet on in Pinks:
BHUB - I can enter buy orders in Scottrade, are other brokers restricting buys?
SL, can you give a quick status of BHUB? Looked like she was on a tear, just curious about the decline in the last two days, and I don't have the time to read a million BHUB posts, can I get the Cliff Notes version?
What is the OS?
Pinksheets says Outstanding Shares: 21,685,521 as of 2007-04-10
Those "features" would annoy the bejesus out of me.

That is what MT is and has been sating all along. He has said repeatidly and unequiviclythe shares were being manipulated.That is one thing he has been consistant with I'll give him that much. Janice Shell said she thought of no reason the stock was short and she has been firm to that. So maybe this is a bigger fish than meets the eye.Perhaps he is being truthfull. There is a chance that it is a common practice with back door etiquete within the Industry. I would like for Janice to resond if your still with us today.
HA breaking out maybe. Up 4% in early trading.
Perhaps that is the perfect ticker symbol for a stock mentioned on this board, when pronounced as individual letters.
Perhaps the author was referring to "Molly Holly" of WWF fame and juxtaposed...

BNI is probably a great long term investment but I do not have the long term horizon Berkshire has, lol. I think that traders that jump on the BNI bandwagon now will not have the patience to cash in years from now; I don't think BNI is a good trade.
GBX might be a small cap way to play options on the beaten down railroad sector, it is near its 52 week low and might get pulled up by the Buffet fever.
DYN still purring along, been a great play WB.
This page from #msg-18383342 pretty much says it all:

MHA - MANHATTAN PHARMACEUTICALS INC chart still purring strong. It is an AMEX stock, not a BB stock, which I prefer TBH, hope this post is not off topic for this board. Form 4 filing with nice insider buying on 3/30/2007, reported Friday. Neil Herskowitz (Director) purchased 55,555 shares at $0.9 for $50,000. Love how it bounced off the 50 day MA, then bounced off the 20 day MA, real strong. Probably a pullback of a few percent in the future, but long term I bet it is a hold/buy on dips.

I am sure that if you wait a few more PR cycles, the second case may be claimed, in a complicated way for Pan Americans to become Plutonium eco-neutral, in a multi-tiered effort to save Earth's flora, fauna, and water resources. But remember when you handle Plutonium, Pu-94 is pyrophoric and will oxidize and become very hot when exposed to air (or SEC scrutiny).
If you want to drive 4 monitors, you will need two video cards, each with dual video outputs. I have a special motherboard that allows for 2 video card slots, but that sort of thing isn't standard and your PC probably does not have that capability.
Wiping my hard drive and restoring to a fresh install via Ghost Disk tonight. Is it nerdy of me to find joy in having a "fresh install" of my O/S without a bunch of garbage slowing me down? Yes it is! But that is OK!
Definately a contrarian play with that ugly chart and with them delaying 10k and annual report, after they publish these docs and the PPS falls even more, it might be time to play the lotto on it, who knows, lol.

MIT Researchers Extend Computer Life Without Batteries
Researchers replace batteries with ultracapacitors to make long-running PCs.
Ben Ames (IDG News Service) 05 April, 2007 11:25:51
Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have found a way to extend the power life of mobile computers.
Instead of using batteries, they draw power from an electronic device called an ultracapacitor. The approach is still several years away from being used as the main electricity source for commercial laptops and handhelds, but is already used for backup power in many small consumer products.
"A number of electronic devices already use commercial ultracapacitors for specialized functions," said Joel Schindall, a professor in MIT's Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
"For example, a clock radio may use an ultracapacitor as a keep-alive source in case of power failure, and even the old Palm III used an ultracapacitor to retain its memory while the AA batteries were changed."
The new technology could shake up the retail computer business, where computer makers already compete for market share by boasting of more power-efficient machines.
Chip makers battle for business by launching more efficient processors like Intel's Centrino and Advanced Micro Devices' Turion, trading high performance speed for mobile endurance.
Hewlett-Packard Co. also says its customers demand longer run-times. The company announced Monday that its HP Compaq nx9400 notebook will run on three levels of battery packs. Those range from the standard, four-hour unit to a substitute battery that adds five more hours, and a clip-on, supplementary battery that adds another 10 hours.
The speed at which a battery charges is also important to users. HP says its enhanced, lithium ion battery can gain 90 percent of a full charge after just 90 minutes of being plugged into a wall outlet.
By comparison, a consumer with a cell phone powered by MIT's ultracapacitor could gain a complete recharge in just a few seconds, Schindall says.
The new device is called a nanotube-enhanced ultracapacitor, or NEU. It works by applying nanotechnology to an existing electrical device; the capacitor.
Generic capacitors store energy as an electrical field. That is more efficient than standard batteries, which get their energy from chemical reactions. Even more efficient is the ultracapacitor, a capacitor-based storage cell that provides quick bursts of instant energy. The drawback is size -- ultracapacitors need to be much larger than batteries to hold the same charge.
The MIT researchers solved this problem by taking advantage of the enormous surface area of nanotubes; molecular-scale straws of carbon atoms that enable ultracapacitors to store electrical fields at the atomic level. Storage capacity (and charging speed) in an ultracapacitor is proportional to the surface area of the electrodes, so the nanotubes provide a great leap forward.
Despite this promise, researchers say they still have three to five years more work before they can replace a computer's main battery.
One drawback is that the ultracapacitor provides direct current power. That is suitable for running power-off functions like a laptop's clock, but most desktop devices use alternating current for their main operations.
High cost could also be a problem at first, because of low quantity production and meager capital investment in manufacturing facilities, he said.
On the other hand, the device could clear these hurdles by finding customers across a variety of businesses. From cell phones to automobiles, the ultracapacitor could supplement fuel cell power sources by acting as an emergency reserve for peak power use.
"The eventual implications are profound," says Schindall.
