James Cameron

We're so scared of piracy right now that we're ready to pimp out our mothers. This whole day-and-date DVD release nonsense?

Allison Maire

We're going to take it day to day and team by team as far as how we're going to play. We have very good base runners and a lot of power this year. Hopefully when league play starts we'll be able to keep it going. Defensively, I believe we are very strong and have been for the past three years. We know what to do and when to do it. But we're even more disciplined this year.

Kent Beck

We bought some shares recently in a dot.com company that was absolutely annihilated after this recent rout, About.com ( BOUT : Research , Estimates ), which is the ninth-largest Web property of all Web properties. The stock dropped from 100 in late March, to a low of $21. This is a company with a real business model that had blowout first-quarter earnings. And they are actually going to turn a profit in 2001. Investors went from 'everything Internet is good', to the 'everything Internet is bad' mantra. So now you've got to do your homework and look at individual names and identify the business models that are valid. And I think this is one that can go back to its old high.

Preston Burch

What makes Hubble worthwhile, ... is putting in new science instruments that have state-of-the-art detectors to really make the leaps forward...what we call the 'science discovery factor.'
