No, it sounds like picking winning businesses. Big difference. Warren Buffet has said that he's a business picker, not a stock picker.

Warren Buffet buys a controlling position and changes how companies operate. He himself said "Your average investor should just invest in indexes".

Yes, that is it essentially. You are looking at businesses which have cash flow and the other criteria mentioned above.

So your advice is to be Warren Buffet?

Agreed. Apple does this all the time when presenting new products. Of course it's the best/lightest/fastest version of the product. Why would they release a new version that is worse than the previous?

I actually thought they do this because they really want to say "best phone ever" or "best OS yet", but resort to the product name so as not to sound too cocky. By saying "best windows ever" you give the impression that this product is better than competitors while still being technically correct.

When I visited wikipedia today, there was a small widget that let me set up a monthly payment. I have never donated before, but I liked the idea of a small monthly amount so I signed up for 3 dollars. Hopefully, they get to keep more of that money by cutting out Google. Bonus: no tracking.

Does anyone know why Chrome uses   (non-breaking-space) before and after inline tags such as anchor and italics? This behavior causes lines to sometime break much sooner than needed.

Does this technology require clear skies/do clouds block the laser?

>The ground stations are at White Sands in New Mexico, at a NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory site in Wrightwood, California, and a European Space Agency site in Tenerife, Spain.

At least two of these stations are located in mostly-dry climate.

The laser uses infrared light with a wavelength of 1550 nm, where the atmosphere is typically transparent even with clouds or rain.

I hope someone will step up and create a canvas-based html editor to embed in web-pages. The current solution using contentEditable has lots of cross-browser and cross-platform issues. I'd back that.

"An historic event" is wrong:

An is the form of the indefinite article that is used before a spoken vowel sound: it doesn’t matter how the written word in question is actually spelled. So, we say ‘an honour’, ‘an hour’, or ‘an heir’, for example, because the initial letter ‘h’ in all three words is not actually pronounced. By contrast we say ‘a hair’ or ‘a horse’ because, in these cases, the ‘h’ is pronounced.(http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/page/aoranhistoric/a-histo...)

There's nothing wrong with "An historic event".

I'm from London.

(However, it does irritate me no end to hear RP speakers say "An historic", pronouncing the "h")

yeah, I hear people pronounce the "h" and use "an" but not do it consistently. Didn't realize its silent in England.

I agree, but sometimes it makes sense to have a specific order. For example, it makes sense to get history questions in a chronological order. Maybe you should be able to choose. Right now there is a quizorder field that determines the order for a given category.

Thanks. I haven't experienced the problem with the Go-buttons. I will investigate that.
