the20year3 ?
the20year3: according
to
the policies on HL's site?
mircea_popescu: obviously someone
that owns shares can sell at any price
they want.
the20year3: HL will automatically suspend all buy orders under .0075, so all buys have
to go in at .0075
benkay: you're going
to sell more for .0075 when
they're already on
the market for 0.0053?

to sell at 0,0075?

that other guy was going on about
that last night

this duration but it's really somebody elses fault
Mats_cd03: and
thats all
the ranting i have for
this morning
Mats_cd03: so
the best warfighters and leaders of
this generation are rapidly being replaced by... high school seniors
MisterE: Mats_cd03:
they know all
they will need soon are an army of kids controlling bots in a video game like
theater
Mats_cd03: mustangs: former enlisted
that received a commission and are now officers (e.g. lieutenant)
Mats_cd03: whats worse is mustangs in
the system are discouraged by design
Mats_cd03: but its usually lost by
the
time
they make major
Mats_cd03: inevitably
though, leaders lose
their creativity by
the
time
they become flag officers
mircea_popescu: er
to spot. “Did you lose a sony? It could be
the Penguin. I
think we can round him up, he’s dressed like a PENGUIN! We can find him, he’s a PENGUIN!
mircea_popescu: ,
the police come over
to your house,
they fill out:
The Report.
They give you: Your Copy. Now, unless
they give
the crook his copy, I don’t really
think we’re gonna crack
this case, do you? It’s not like Batman, where
there’s
three crooks in
the city and everybody pretty much knows, who
they are. Very few crooks even go
to
the
trouble
to come up with a
theme for
their careers anymore. It makes
them a lot
tough
mircea_popescu: JERRY: I got ripped off for about
the...18th
time? And now,
the first couple a
times you go
through it, it’s very upsetting and your first reaction or one of your friends will say, “Call
the police. You really should call
the police.” So you
think
to yourself, you know, you watch
TV, you
think, “Yeah, I’m calling
the police. Stakeouts, manhunts... I’m gonna see some real action.” Right, you
think
that. So
Mats_cd03: basically a
trial by fire for
the
tactically inept
