  EA Makes Offer to Buy Take 2
Time: 14:08 EST/19:08 GMT | News Source: E-Mail | Posted By: Byron Hinson

Electronic Arts just called me to let me know that they are making a bid to acquire Take-Two Interactive in an all-cash merger of about $2 billion. The offer set Take-Two's stock at $26 per a share, about 64 percent over the company's closing stock price prior to the company's Feb. 15 offer. Take-Two's board rejected the offer, leading Electronic Arts to make their offer public to the company's shareholders. In the letter, attached in the jump, EA CEO John Riccitiello tells Take-Two's Stauss Zelnick that the buy-out would help both the company and its stock holders.

People must learn to eat moderately to effectively lose weight. It seems as if as the American population increases, so do our appetites. In the past, a simple, leafy sandwich with a glass of milk was enough to satisfy our hunger. How, however, to fill ourselves up, we flat belly diet cookbook eat huge portions, large side entrées, and a gargantuan carbonated drink. If one walks into some fast food restaurants, one can get their meal enlarged or "Super sized". We must go back to our old ways of limiting our food intake. One should eat until there are full, not comatose.

We must not eat too much, but we should [url=http://www.squidoo.com/Flat-Belly-Diet-Cookbook]Flat Belly Diet Cookbook[/url] eat just enough to maintain our body's need for energy. Overeating has bigger ramifications than most people think. However, Americans became aware of this "overeating epidemic" when they "flocked to see Super Size Me, Morgan Spurlock's documentary about what happens when you eat nothing but McDonald's food for a month. Now McDonald's is discontinuing its Super Size option" (Lemonick).

Eating nutritional foods is necessary in order to successfully lose weight. A misconception people have is that they think it is okay to eat a whole box of chocolate chip flat belly diet cookbook cookies after enjoying a 5K run in the afternoon. This can be one of the worst things a person can do to his body. Although one exercises everyday of his life, one also has to eat healthy.

XRumer is a Windows program that posts forum spam with the aim of boosting search engine rankings. It has been claimed that the program is able to bypass techniques commonly used by many websites to deter automated spam, such as account registration, CAPTCHAs, and e-mail activation before posting. The program makes heavy use of a database of known open proxies in an attempt to make it more difficult for administrators to block posts.

In addition, the software can [url=http://ubuntuforums.org/member.php?u=869171]xrumer[/url] avoid the suspicions of forum administrators by first registering to make a post in the form of a question which mentions the spam product ("Where can I get...?"), before registering another account to post a spam link which mentions the product. Akismet for WordPress is showing the first post as SPAM. The side effect of these innocent-looking posts is that helpful forum visitors may search on a search engine (e.g. Google) for the product and themselves post a link to help out, thus bolstering the product's Google stats without falling afoul of forum posting policies.

According to The Register, the latest version of XRumer can defeat CAPTCHAs of Hotmail and GMail. This enables the software to create accounts with these free email services, which are used to register in forums that it posts to.[1] [2]

Most spam attacks on forums generally occur in waves, and the software will not spam at full speed initially. Thus, a good strategy for limiting the damage of such attacks is to target new members who have random series' of alphanumeric characters for their usernames. The multiple instances of a spam bot will have obvious similarities in their email addresses (and will usually be random themselves), allowing members that match the profile of other spam bots to be banned before they even post. As mentioned - proxies are used, making IP bans ineffective, however it is possible to block the posting of threads containing certain text, or links to a certain site. Once a product or site has been spammed, it can be blocked, preventing the software from successfully uploading its payload.

I am looking at installing 18 replacement windows that are the Pella Encompass model. What is the overall performance/quality of the window? How much is the average size window cost for the window + replacement? I am getting quoted $200 per opening. Is this reasonable ?

You can configure it from the settings panel in news feed i guess, plus one can only see pics posts of ppl who are in his/her friends list or if you get tagged in any pic or your friend comments on a pic belonging to some other friend and both these ppl are in your friends list..

I understand that we need to upgrade because technology is getting better. Why not make software that's compatible with the newer and older computers? I'm on Windows 98 SE and I'm going to start using XP soon. Why do we upgrade, can't computer companies come up with something that's compatible with all computers old and new? I tried accessing Youtube but can't. Sources?

Last time a new firmware update came along I installed it and I had to re-jailbreak my iPhone. Is there a way to update to the latest firmware and keep the iPhone jailbroken?
