No. But that is a very good and common question. The stock has to come from somewhere, which is usually the broker who finds someone to borrow the stock from and loans it to you to sell. There must be someone willing to loan that stock at t

A bluetooth connection to the phone would be a much better option in my opinion.

That would be good statistic for them to list: "1 out of every XX,XXX gets lost in transit". They might use a priority shipping method and pre-addressed box to help prevent that kind of incident. I personally don't really hav

I can't find anything about Google lobbying against net neutrality, do you have any sources? 4 years ago Google modified Verizon's proposal after years of stalemate, moving forward was in the best interest of everyone involved, in

"Now that it's commercially convenient for them they have betrayed this value" That's a 100% FALSE statement. In what way have they betrayed the open-internet initiative? They helped start both internal and external orga

Safer for everyone involved. Complete battlefield dominance encourages enemy combatants to comply without putting up a fight. If a soldier is in the field and sees a potential combatant, then in many cases one of them is going to die, eithe

I'm not necessarily talking about just the Net Neutrality issue, it seems pretty obvious that the internet should not be remodeled after Cable TV. Plus, there's no real way to enforce it unless they purposely slow down VPN traffic

Why does everyone assume it's Google's responsibility to save the internet? Yes, they do extremely great things for the world, the internet, and to protect privacy and people's rights, but rather than criticize them when they

I'm guessing the default browser is IE7 (maybe even IE6?) for Windows XP. The stats that matter are what browser they are using, which is less than 1% for IE7, and possibly near zero depending on your target market. Edit: I see, it&#x2

There might be a browser support issue that prevents doing it. The bandwidth and mobile loading might not be an issue because of their massive amount of data-centers to serve content from. It seems like it to would be easy to test the new i

Was this because of the VTOL system or it's requirement? If so, is VTOL really necessary for the Navy? I know they want smaller carriers but they should have modified the plane afterwards rather than potentially screw up the entire ver
