Having withdrawal symptoms, are we?
Drink some hot chocolate, pull out a book, and read yourself to sleep. Big Bob will have SI back online before you know it. .
An unannounced 24 hour shut down during a market day is pretty unusual... they must have had a serious problem.
Looks like we need a fallout shelter today, Eric. SI has been off the air for the last hour. Could this be the long predicted Armagaedon?
>> OK Fellow Mudges
Judging from the responses, you may be the last of the breed.
I've give up being a mudge now that I've learned I'm cute and clever. Doesn't that tekboy have the nicest way with words?

Great report from Qcom. They may not the the Gorilla of Wireless, but they certainly seem more powerful than a Chimp. Maybe we could use a new metaphor for them - a powerful beast to patrol the 3G fields and protect Q's IPR:

BOO!

It's not necessary to speculate on that, Jim; he's already done it.

Thanks for the golden tongued greeting; you haven't lost your touch . Yeah, charts or pics have to be web based before you can imbed them. From the description of your gallery, that sounds like a good thing.
Tough couple of years is right. No prob for a young sprout like you, but unfortunate for those of us that are in the end game. But learning to endure and adapt is part of the game, too. Here's my latest hobby:
The boat, silly, not Aunt Nancy. It's a Wilderness Systems K2 open deck recreational kayak.

You can even link a picture using that technique, JW.
Note: that's me before the bubble burst -ng.

I hereby declare myself as a permabull, so anyone with a lick of sense better not listen to any of my opinions.
JW, I'm contacting the copyright office about the opening sentence in your thread's header. That is, unless you want to settle out of court first.
You and Soros? What an unholy alliance [lol].

Nice earnings report by NOK, Eric. It's a boon to the sector.
>> Your photo posting privileges are hereby suspended for a week!
That's cruel and unusual punishment, judge.
How about I just post little ones?
>> get so good at picture taking that people will throw money at you
It would be nice, but I don't think it works like that Kat. My last subject just threw dirty looks at me.
I'm going to work on getting better at investing next.
What it's felt like to be a nasdaq investor for the past 2 years:

Some days I'd rather go to the dentist than watch the market.

Yeah, that's my copyright mark - fdr photo. Not that I need to protect my hobby-snapshots from commercial sharks, but it's kind of cool to pretend . Thanks for the roses; here's one for you.
Eric, here's another direct link test.
Did it work?
I think I know why the earlier photos wouldn't post. I was attempting to link from pbase.com, and they have some way of restricting you from doing so unless you're a paying member. I just converted my free account to full service, so let's see if it works now.
One more attempt. The frustrating part is that the earlier shots worked initially, at least on my puter, but showed up as Xs later on. Let's see if this one holds up.
That's strange. It worked when I first posted it. Let's try again. Let me know if you can see this self portrait.
Like this?
"I'm sure their're trying to fix the market too."
Your profile on SI says you have a graduate degree. Obviously it ain't in english.

Hey, Matthew, we need help. See Eric's post on how to imbed pictures, and tell us how to actually do it, pleeze.
Mmmm, that's as clear as the owner's manual for a Japanese camera. And to top it off, it didn't work. Thanks a lot for the help [lol].
Hey, how'd you do that, Eric? I'd love to be able to insert pics into my posts.
Glad to see it, Eric. I think it really enhances the site.
Thanks for the update, Eric. I haven't been tracking the message boards on a daily basis for a while, and missed John's post.
>> Best to all, wherever thou art
I love the fact that you still focus on the positive, and have kept your cheerful demeanor.
For the most part <lol>.
Our world has changed, Ergo. I have no idea how long it will be before techs regain any momentum. I started writing covered calls at the beginning of 2001. It hasn't saved my butt, but it's salvaged a little of my pride :-S.

You're a day late.
Count your cash; I'll bet you're a dollar short.
But at least you registered early enough to get a free IH lifetime membership .

Ergo, are you inferring that computers and hdtv overlap in application? I wouldn't think that true in business use, and only superficially so in the home. Perhaps I'm missing something, but that wouldn't be unusual. Care to expound?

ergo sum wrote: The interesting thing to me right now is that I tend to think that the movement to HDTV which is legislated to happen in 2006 just might be contributing to the demise of the PC.
What overlap do you see in application that would lead to such an influence?

btw, I thought it best to move a serious discussion to the main board. Wouldn't want to get the mudges stirred up.
>> I have heard it said that at the end of a bear market, the market turns to new leaders for the next run up...
That's true, but imo not actionable. The only way to identify the new leaders to any useful degree of accuracy is in the rear view mirror.
I'd rather wait until the new leaders emerge, based on the criteria of demonstrated competitive advantage, and then take a position. The potential for % return is diminished, but the risk/reward ratio is substantially lower.

>> Oh how I wanted to touch that one, but every bone in my body tells me not to.
I don't know what the big deal is.

I disassociate myself from folks that engage in either of those practices, Jxm, but I don't really take them seriously.

You certainly have many reasons to do so, but I'd prefer you just leave me alone.

Hi, Matt. I see it's business as usual on the Q&A board <lol>. Hopefully the rest of your site has improved since my last visit. It's obvious that the connection speed has, particularly when compared to SI, which pulled a Monica this afternoon. Any idea what's up with that?
A few of my mates have started showing up at the g&k "bomb shelters". Hope you have room for us.
