Fabric7 is showing customers that the days of having to rely on expensive, proprietary processors and operating systems are over. With these results we've proved that the Fabric7 architecture enables a level of scalability and performance on x86 platforms that easily competes with more expensive, proprietary systems that have traditionally dominated the midrange and high-end of the server market. By offering this scalability to customers at three to five times lower cost, we are dramatically shifting the economics of enterprise computing.

We've been on a meteoric rise for three or four years now. Houses can only double in value every five or six years for a while before plain economics bring them back in line.

While the immediate 'rollback' of 24 percent offered by the union would materially improve league economics for the 2004-05 season, there is virtually nothing in the union's proposal that would prevent the dollars 'saved' from being redirected right back into the player compensation system, such that the league's overall financial losses would approach current levels in only a matter of a couple of years.

You can't drill a well when you don't know what the economics will be.

What Jack McConnell is saying is not something in itself that you could argue against, but not everyone is in the position to do what he's suggesting.

What a person cannot do he will not do, no matter how much he wants to do it.

I don't think our projections are as optimistic as Microsoft's, but we definitely see it happening and being a substantial part of our future business. It could radically alter the economics of publishing. It will change the manufacture-ship-get returns model. You don't have to manufacturer five to sell three.

Every high school and college graduate in America should, I think, have some familiarity with statistics, economics and a foreign language such as Spanish.

I've been a foodie most of my life. I started when I lived for a year in Germany in my early 20s, and here was this new food environment, and I decided I needed to make sense of it. And I found it was the rules of economics that do the best job. Food is a capitalist product of supply and demand.

I've always loved doing research. I remember doing a research project on the Babylonian numeral system in the eighth grade and thinking, 'This is pretty awesome - is this really a job you can have?'

Our open-sourced offerings, including the Solaris Enterprise System, and our industry standard Sun Fire systems and storage offerings are the ideal platforms on which a diversity of OEM partners -- from defense systems to networking equipment -- can now build their products. Our aim is to be the preferred partner for the open source and open standard platforms the market clearly demands.

It serves no one when one side is going through the motions of negotiations, but not seriously addressing the core issue that remains in contention.

Economics was one reason we decided to sanction again. For the most part our cars have pretty much stayed IMCA legal but some of the stuff here was getting pricey.
