U.S. rejects Java standard update The U.S. delegation to an international standards body today cast a "no" vote on Sun Microsystems' bid to make Java an international standard and to be the official steward of the technology. The U.S. vote is so far the only "no" vote among 27 countries that make up the Joint Technical Committee (JTC-1) of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). Six countries--Australia, France, Hungary, Denmark, Sweden, and the United Kingdom--have already given Sun a thumbs-up, with the other 20 still to decide by November 14. news.com Derek

<Right, Reg. Now tell us about your feature article on the wonders of investing in Ascend on your website a year ago. Great advice.> You know Bill, those cheap little inaccurate shots cause me to lose significant respect for you. I never commented on the "wonders" of investing in Ascend, only past performance, along with all of the requisite disclaimers on high volatility. I noticed how you often take things out of context, such as the fact that the stocks mentioned in that article were up 46% as of a couple of weeks ago (I haven't checked it lately, but I am sure Cityscape Financial and Ascend hurt them as a group), despite the significant risk that the article says the stocks expose you to. You never bother to mention the comments on high risks, or th efact that there was never any advice given. You made silly comments about how I was insane to state that NCSP was overvalued at $80 and MSFT was undervalued at $65 (pre-split at that). You made silly comments about short term put strategies, described to the T, concerning riding NSCPO down from $80 to a respectable price. You made silly comments about table pounding and INTC. Take a look at my posts yesterday as INTC went down, look at my posts before the market opened today, and compare the point difference in price at the repsective time of each posts. Check back with me to see if you are too childish to see the point that I was making. All this and you have the nerve to say I never admit when I am wrong. Take a sabbatical(sp?) Bill.
