The company licensing art and producing the shirts with space, cats, and apes on the gme site, geeknet, is owned by GameStop. They really know their audience. Just makes me more certain the shirts are little bread crumbs.
Groupon.comhas an alexa rank of 351 and a market cap of 15Billion
Angieslist.com has an alexa rank of 4341 and a market cap of 800Million
[Sourceforge.net]http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/sourceforge.net#) has an alexa rank of 152 and a market cap of 111 Million, they also have slashdot.org rank 1543 and thinkgeek.com rank 2646
Is Sourceforge highly undervalued or is Groupon/Angieslist highly overvalued? Thoughts? I am buying Sourceforge on the premise that they are undervalued, am I missing something?
While watching the PBS Frontline documentary, 'Dot Con', which takes a look back at the dot com bubble and burst of '99/00, they mentioned a particularly spectacular IPO of a linux company called 'VA Linux' trading under the $LNUX ticker.
It IPO'd on Dec 9, 1999 at $30 and rose to $320 intraday and closed at $250, a whopping +733%:
>Analysts said VA Linux's astounding IPO had less to do with the fundamentals of the company than with the general hoopla among investors about anything remotely tied to the Linux operating system.
>
>"VA Linux only did as well as it did because of the price performance of Red Hat," said David Menlow, president of IPOfinancial.com.
>
>The first Linux-related issue to hit the market this year, Red Hat Software has skyrocketed in recent days. The company's stock has risen 1,837 percent since its IPO, making it the best-performing new issue of the year, according to Renaissance Capital.
How truly incredible to think that at one time, companies like Netscape and Red Hat Linux were leaders in the market.
It subsequently declined heavily with the dot com crash:
>On December 8, 2000, one year later, after the bursting of the dot com bubble, shares traded at $8.49/share.[14] In January 2001, the stock traded at $7.13/share.[2] By December 2002, it was worth just $1.19/share.
LNUX price 09.09.99 - 09.12.00
VA Linux transitioned to VA Software (stock plunges 42% in one day after an earnings warning), moving away from hardware, then to a proprietary version of SourceForge, then 'GeekNet' then through a number of transitions to 'ThinkGeek' which was eventually acquired by GameStop on June 2, 2015 for $140 million in a bidding competition with Hot Topic of all things...
How bizarre, it's really fascinating looking back at the media and headlines surrounding the speculative investing of the euphoric lead up

Right dead center the words "thinkgeek"
> Founded in 1999, ThinkGeek was an e-commerce website that sold geek culture merchandise, such as toys, clothing, home décor, electronics, collectibles, and more. The company was founded by Jen Frazier, Jon Sime, Scott Smith, and Willie Vadnais, and was originally a side project headquartered in Virginia. > > Originally, ThinkGeek produced merchandise catered for the open-source software community. To gain some exposure, they delivered a care package filled with their unique merchandise to Slashdot. A news website that gears its content towards geeks. After being fascinated by their merch, Slashdot decided to give them a shoutout. This is where ThinkGeek’s rise to fame began. > > Just two months after being founded, ThinkGeek was purchased by Andover.net, a company that owned Slashdot. A year later, Andover was then obtained by VA Linux Systems, a company based out of California which sold computers containing the Linux operating system. > > Va Linux Systems went on to change its name to Geeknet in 2009 whilst still owning ThinkGeek. In the same year, ThinkGeek achieved sales of $50m and saw its workforce rise, reaching 83 personnel in 2013. > > It was not until 2015 when ThinkGeek would change hands once more. On May 16th the American retailer Hot Topic proposed an offer to purchase both ThinkGeek and Geeknet, reportedly for $17.50 per share. Yet, just 3 days later an unnamed company placed a counter-offer of $20 per share. Hot Topic was given a further 3 days to place a counter-offer of their own but no such offer was made. The deal was closed by July 17th and the unnamed company was revealed to be GameStop.
"simplicity & business" words in the center when googled the top link says this about simplicity
> What Is Simplicity? > To some, simplicity may sound like something to avoid rather than strive for. After all, don't businesses have to grow to become more profitable? The word “grow” doesn’t just mean increasing revenue, however; it can also include cutting out unnecessary processes. > > In this vein, simplicity means sticking to streamlined processes that have not only been well-designed, but are also regularly maintained. By managing with simplicity in mind, companies will ensure they don't expend any time or energy on anything but developing the business.

... keep reading on reddit ➡I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.
Alot of great jokes get posted here! However just because you have a joke, doesn't mean it's a dad joke.
THIS IS NOT ABOUT NSFW, THIS IS ABOUT LONG JOKES, BLONDE JOKES, SEXUAL JOKES, KNOCK KNOCK JOKES, POLITICAL JOKES, ETC BEING POSTED IN A DAD JOKE SUB
Try telling these sexual jokes that get posted here, to your kid and see how your spouse likes it.. if that goes well, Try telling one of your friends kid about your sex life being like Coca cola, first it was normal, than light and now zero , and see if the parents are OK with you telling their kid the "dad joke"
I'm not even referencing the NSFW, I'm saying Dad jokes are corny, and sometimes painful, not sexual
So check out r/jokes for all types of jokes
r/unclejokes for dirty jokes
r/3amjokes for real weird and alot of OC
r/cleandadjokes If your really sick of seeing not dad jokes in r/dadjokes
Punchline !
Edit: this is not a post about NSFW , This is about jokes, knock knock jokes, blonde jokes, political jokes etc being posted in a dad joke sub
Edit 2: don't touch the thermostat
Do your worst!
How the hell am I suppose to know when it’s raining in Sweden?
Ants don’t even have the concept fathers, let alone a good dad joke. Keep r/ants out of my r/dadjokes.
But no, seriously. I understand rule 7 is great to have intelligent discussion, but sometimes it feels like 1 in 10 posts here is someone getting upset about the jokes on this sub. Let the mods deal with it, they regulate the sub.
They were cooked in Greece.
I'm surprised it hasn't decade.
Now that I listen to albums, I hardly ever leave the house.
Don't you know a good pun is its own reword?
Two muffins are in an oven, one muffin looks at the other and says "is it just me, or is it hot in here?"
Then the other muffin says "AHH, TALKING MUFFIN!!!"
For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂
It really does, I swear!
He lost May
And now I’m cannelloni
Because she wanted to see the task manager.
But that’s comparing apples to oranges
And boy are my arms legs.
Heard they've been doing some shady business.
Put it on my bill
but then I remembered it was ground this morning.
Edit: Thank you guys for the awards, they're much nicer than the cardboard sleeve I've been using and reassures me that my jokes aren't stale
Edit 2: I have already been made aware that Men In Black 3 has told a version of this joke before. If the joke is not new to you, please enjoy any of the single origin puns in the comments
They’re on standbi
