You have to love it when the internal emails get brought out - one of these days companies will learn to only talk on the phone and lessen their own chances of things going sour later...

EBay is suing to restore its stake in the classifieds site - which Craigslist diluted to 24.85% from 28.4% - to regain its board seat in the company of which it became a shareholder in 2004.


Been a long time since I did science but I'm pretty sure if you dilute something they get less

PC Pro's article writing skills have hit the crapper past few months, maybe the chimpanzees are getting tired

Let me highlight that again for you:

24 is less that 28. There's nothing to see here.

Long day, read from then to not the other way round *facepalm*

It's what being up at 5 and in uni for 6 does to you!

It's the problem when I'm reluctant to ask for (yet) another extension after being off a month and have 2 1200 word reports to have done ASAP, one submission friday and one I need to get emailed tonight for review. Did another 1200 word one this morning.

And on top of that I am trying to fix my WM app as the changes I made are having an iffy effect :(

And sort out Xmas presents :(

Hmm. Didn't mean to poke fun at you on your break from trying so hard. Hope the work goes well.

Personally, I'm only giving one Christmas present this year. It's a bottle of whisky, and I'll be quite surprised if I don't get one in return. Either way, I'll be drinking half so it hardly counts :lol:
