[08:28] {Threei} or there was some news development?

[08:44] {Threei} you guys really take it on the chin this winter
[08:44] {dino} most winters
[08:45] {Threei} guess the source of the quote:
[08:45] {Threei} Fortune turned against us and brought confusion to all we did. Greed destroyed honor, honesty and every other virtue, and taught men to be arrogant and cruel, to neglect the gods. Ambition made men false. Rome changed: A government which had once surpassed all others in justice and excellence now became cruel and unbearable.
[08:46] {Les} ouch dino, some sun and 52F here!
[08:46] {Les} cicero Vad?
[08:46] {Threei} fall of the constitutional Roman Republic and the rise of Julius Caesar, historian Sallust at the time

[08:59] {Les} mindful of Bill's suggestion that if FCX goes, so do the rest of the miners
[09:00] {Les} sub 15$ stocks would be fun to short
[09:00] {Threei} after admitting that they essentially are not even sure of the reasion for acceleration, thus fix may not fix anything, you'd expect it to be trading at 65 by now

[11:30] {Threei} Crocs, Inc. US Appeals court reverses ITC ruling against Crocs
[11:30] {Threei} - The Commission also determined that Crocs, Inc. (Crocs) had not satisfied the technical prong of the industry requirement under section 337 for the 789 patent. Because the Commission erred in finding that the prior art taught all of the claimed elements of the 858 patent and incorrectly weighed the secondary considerations, this court reverses the Commissions finding that the 858 patent would have been obvious. Because the Commission also erred in claim construction for the 789 patent, in applying the ordinary observer test for infringement, and in applying the technical prong of the section 337 domestic industry requirement, this court reverses the Commissions determination on the 789 patent.
