Versus Quotations | Page 3

I remember when I was a kid having the Friday night games or the Saturday night games - a South East Melbourne versus Melbourne . . . they were huge, sold out, you couldn't get a ticket,

Peer-to-peer file sharing programs basically act as a warehouse for child pornography videos and images. Having the Internet readily available in their residence allows people to operate in the shadows versus going out and acquiring the material through other means.

Our guys know we really needed to win this game because this was something that would bring us back up. We were not embarrassed to lose. Ramsey is a good quality program. We had to come back and show who we are versus an excellent hockey team.

Our issue here is controlling delivery of voice-based data. This is nothing revolutionary ... but the market is moving from back to perception versus reality and looking at what promise do (the companies) have.

Our citizens never hesitate to take sides against one another, whether it's Democrats versus Republicans, Coke drinkers opposed to Pepsi enthusiasts or Yankee loyalists against Red Sox aficionados.

Over its 18-year history, the Index generated a net compound annualized return of 15.5% versus 12.0% for the S&P 500, marking eighteen consecutive years of positive annual performance for the Greenwich-Van Global Hedge Fund Index. This strongly suggests downside protection and diversification benefits of hedge funds within a comprehensive asset allocation plan can greatly enhance a portfolio's reward/risk profile.

Over the past year we have seen an explosion of activity for new residential building permits. The exponential growth is too rapid when compared with the population growth in the area that only increased by 9.7 percent in the last two years. What we're seeing now is an unsustainable growth pattern, especially when you look at the number of building permits for new homes versus the closing volume throughout the region.

Our preference is the sooner the better. People in the markets prefer certainty versus uncertainty.

Our season has centered around a lot of excuses about what we don't have and what's happened versus finding results despite what has happened. That's not to minimize how good Tracy is, certainly. Yet I feel we could have responded better. Take Yao out of the picture. Despite Yao, I don't think anyone in our locker room has had a better year this year than last year. That's on me, and that's on them.

Overall the girls, they just did numerous things well versus one thing here. . I really do think it was one of our better games all-around.

Our users spend more than twice the amount of time with us than any other financial site on the Web, so I think that clearly when you look at Yahoo Finance versus our competitors, there's breadth and there's depth.

Our A-B domestic volume is off to a good start, and we continue to expect growth versus 2005.

Risk versus reward once again worked in Goldman's favor,

Our research shows that the Indian population tends to spend more and save less versus Chinese consumers who save up to 40 percent of their income.

Our play will be depending on the focus we regain after a week and a half off. I expect the ladies will rise to the occasion versus Hudson.

Our quarterly financial results reflect the continued difficult industry environment but also show some encouraging trends. Both US Airways' and America West's stand-alone results, excluding special charges, are much improved versus last year despite a nearly $200 million increase in expenses due to higher fuel prices.

Our line play versus the run is going to be a key. We're going to have to play disciplined on defense. No matter what offense someone plays, if you get whipped up front, you're not going to win. We saw that when we looked at last year's tape, but we've made some adjustments.

Sprint is very inexpensive versus the WorldCom takeover. It's over a 25 percent discount. First, (there is) the $76 that WorldCom will be acquiring it for. And we think it's a very strong likelihood that merger will go through by the end of the year.

Some in the market felt that Canada had declined enough versus the U.S. and it was time to take some profits. The Canadian dollar is starting to look cheap.

That capability from IBM really came about because they were able to build an architecture that had a much lower processor requirement with very extreme levels of performance. That gave them a tremendous price-to-performance advantage in that market versus their traditional competitors, HP and Sun.

My opinion of him now versus what it was a month ago is night and day.

I think police officers are using common sense in making arrests. A person taking water would be a certain kind of situation versus a person taking a big screen television.

I think my favorite movie is 'Joe Versus the Volcano' - or maybe 'Multiple Maniacs' by John Waters.

I think if we're to re-establish (the Congress') constitutional role, to control the purse strings, we've got to say that when it comes to local control versus a Washington straitjacket, the people of the United States want the education decisions made in the local school districts, not in the White House.

I think he would appreciate someone on his team who isn't afraid to give a hard foul in the playoffs. It's different when someone's your teammate versus someone who's your opponent.

It depends on what kind of diet they are talking about. If it is just caloric restriction or whether it is specific dietary changes. Some women will actually lose weight during a pregnancy basically because they're eating healthier versus binge eating or eating all the wrong foods.

It is cost prohibitive for GM to fix its $3,500 margin disadvantage versus Toyota and other Japan-based manufacturers. Meanwhile, hidden liabilities continue to exceed hidden assets.

It is different when you face a foreign enemy on the one hand versus a domestic failure on the other.

Melissa was in a lot of pain, but we don't know at this point whether it's a ligament or a muscle strain. Courtney injured her knee versus X on Saturday, but hopefully they'll both be able to bounce back for our next game.

The 2006 year opened on a strong note, with solid growth of 33 percent in online non-travel sales versus the same period in 2005. It's clear based on what we're seeing so far in 2006 that the strength in online sales will not wane anytime soon.

The 2006 Chrysler 300 with the Great American Package offers entry-level customers the striking proportions and distinctive styling of the Chrysler 300 with the safety features, technologies and interior enhancements they desire. With an MSRP of about $25,600, the 2006 Chrysler 300 equipped with this package also offers a great value versus our key competitors and to buyers who shop both domestic and import offerings.

The amount of refined product versus crude that they will offer has not been determined, ... Their intentions are to provide the maximum amount of refined product within their requirements.

'The A-Team' compared to making 'Narc' was a breeze. There's a whole other skill set and whole other kind of bone structure that goes into making a movie like 'Narc' versus 'The A-Team.'

That was a very disappointing fourth quarter. (The) level of defense, the intensity was not correct, and the shot selection was outside in, versus inside out. That's very disappointing, and we deserve what we got.

That was a typical University of Washington versus Arizona State basketball game. Very physical, emotions running high. They're real aggressive and we play an aggressive brand of basketball, and when you put the two together, sometimes tempers flare. Our guys did a good job of maintaining their composure.

That's the only way they're going to get it passed. It's like an election. You have to appeal to where you can get the most votes. But now we're pitted against each other, young versus old.

I was born in 1948, so I'm a '60s kid, and in the '60s everyone talked all the time, endlessly, about socialism versus capitalism, about political choices, ideology, Marxism, revolution, 'the system' and so on.

My brother is a policeman; my sister's an English teacher. When I hear what they make versus what I make, it's ridiculous.

Most of the aluminum companies will be flat to slightly up in the third quarter versus a year ago, although there will be one or two that will be up 50 percent.

Most large financial service companies have rushed new marketing materials to help boomers start thinking about retirement planning?and all are based on the financial services company focusing on you and your life, versus them and the products they want to sell. Where it falls short is when you call the financial services firm and interact with a planner or adviser who only wants to sell you products. The training hasn't filtered down from the marketing professionals to the front-line client-contact people.

Most companies fail to realize the high cost and amount of disruption switching to a new wireless e-mail solution would entail. Companies must weigh the risks in staying put, versus the substantial costs in making a move to another wireless middleware platform.

Microsoft had a big part in yesterday's Nasdaq decline, ... But I think the bigger picture is really that we saw a massive flight to quality, and that was illustrated by the performance of the Dow versus that of the Nasdaq. We saw money being shifted out of the more speculative names, and into the more established companies that have proven track records.

Whoever is ahead in this area can get a big advantage versus the other guys. Just being big isn't enough. We really want to pick up the pace in everything we do in the company.

when it comes to choosing what's best for them versus what's best for their investor clients.

We can put the information into our space-planning program to make out what they have versus what they will need to purchase,

We're building the network because that's the way the technology is going, and frankly, this is what consumers want. If consumers have a choice, they want fewer companies delivering their service. They want one throat to choke versus multiple throats.

We don't want to let people score. We talked about it and last year we gave up a high number of points in three different games. That's just not all 11 guys believing in the system. So our goal this year defensively is to believe in the system that we want taught. We want to win football games by playing defense versus offense.

We don't see this as commercial versus open source. More people are using the two together.

We really like the steady pace versus the bubbles that we have had in the past. We like moving from a state of irrational exuberance to a state of rational, healthy optimism.

We really like the steady pace versus the bubble (mentality) we have seen in the past. Instead of irrational exuberance, we are seeing healthy, rational optimism.

We had lowered our estimates last week and some softness had been widely expected, however, a new sales range with a mid point of -12.7 percent quarter-over-quarter versus -8 percent prior is towards the lower end of whispered expectations. While valuation (20x new CY06) may offer some support given the absence of guidance on inventory levels, which we believe are likely to have moved materially higher at Intel, and given ongoing uncertainty on the gross margins outlook, we would retain our cautious stance at current levels.

We have to measure the effect versus the intent, ... We are not trying to come up with remedies and cures. It's just discussion.

We have very few holes, so we're focused on quality versus quantity.

We believe the lower top-line growth in Q4' 00 versus expectations and uncertainty over Amazon's top-line growth going forward will overshadow the operational achievements that we felt were necessary to achieve operating profitability by Q4 ' 01 and subsequently could have driven stock price appreciation.

We believe the excitement of the merger and recent offerings has driven the valuations to a level that is inconsistent and overpriced versus some of the other larger airlines.

We have the potential ability to grow fourfold by looking at the number of employees in a corporation versus the number of users that are professional users of SAP.

You know it's really not a lot different, second base versus shortstop. You still pick up the ball and throw it to first base. Try to keep it simple.

While we have seen an increase today versus a forecasted decline, housing starts are currently doing on a trend basis what many have forecasted: remaining on a high plateau, unable to move higher but not seeing demand fall off enough to take starts lower.

We have a tug-of-war going on between earnings, which are reasonably good, versus the Fed, where people are trying to figure out are they still going to tighten or not.

We are disappointed that sales have not materialized to the degree we had expected, but we point to the fact that the company is expected to show between 12 percent and 22 percent growth in revenue versus the same quarter last year and that we are serving customers exceptionally well this holiday season.

To have a chance versus these guys, you have to play mistake-free football. We have to limit our mental mistakes, limit our penalties, win the turnover battle, that kind of thing.

We didn't come out and play real well in the first half versus UNO. In the second half we dominated.

We are 0-4 in league right now and are beginning to put our backs against a wall in terms of playoff position. It is very important for us to go out and perform well and work hard to get a victory versus Monroe on Friday. We have a goal of getting a home play game. That means we will have to finish third or higher. So we have some work to do, but I have total confidence that we will be there at the end of the year.

Whereas it took the last official runners 30 minutes to cross the starting line last year, this year it will take fewer than 10 minutes for each wave to cross. It is important to note that the anticipated net difference in this method versus previous years' 'one gun, one start' is only about 10 minutes, meaning the last runner will be crossing the starting line this year at 12:40 p.m. as compared to 12:30 p.m. last year.

We played a great game versus Holy Cross. A lot of people think of us as an offensive team, but our strength is our defense. Our effort the other night might have been the best it?s been this year. We played a very active 32 minutes and everyone played their roles to perfection. We?re playing our best ball of the season.

We definitely came in here thinking we owed these guys. They got us twice last year. It's a heated rivalry. It's the best of the East Bay versus the best of San Francisco and the Peninsula. We came out ready.

We are currently projecting the box office to achieve 76 percent of capacity versus a budget of 80 percent, resulting in a shortfall of $4,303,000.

This needs a red light, or let us know what it costs for a light. The damage to one person in a wreck versus the cost of a red light, it don't even compare.

We are looking for consistency and effort from our offense to get where we think we should be. Oakdale had some bad luck versus Central and they will be well prepared (tonight).

The ratios of saw mills in Quebec versus Ontario is significantly higher. It's a very resource-rich province.

Traditionally, Batavia versus Sycamore has been a dogfight out here, and tonight, it was no different. We had a great crowd here, they had a great crowd here, and I told the kids to embrace it. Not every high school player gets to experience that. This was a state-tournament type of atmosphere.

We believe continued strong oncology sales and operational execution will sustain the premium multiple versus the peer group.

The defendant's version versus what we believe may be at odds, so I'm not going to discuss specifically how the child was killed. But we certainly have every indication that child's life was taken by this particular dad.

The definitions related to open space are weak in that they do not distinguish between lands set aside for resource-conservation purposes versus lands set aside for recreational purposes; nor do the definitions recognize necessary distinctions between urban, suburban and rural lands.

The debate isn't digital versus plastic. It isn't old versus new,

When there's a cup involved it becomes that much more important. For us, we're not bothered what anyone says. Put a ball out there, put 11 versus 11, and we want to win. It doesn't matter what the competition is.

The exercise covered the principal decision-making and communications issues that would face us in a pandemic. The drill emphasized the need for all of us to continue working together to determine and answer some fundamental questions before we are actually faced with them. These included: At what point would we send students and nonessential staff home? How would we care for remaining faculty and staff, and those students who couldn't evacuate? What decisions could be made by Harvard versus state or local officials? Who would make which crucial decisions and how would those decisions be communicated?

Well, take the word friendly out of it because it is England versus Wales,

The real question in this case ... is who makes the threshold determination of using a civilian or military legal system. It's a classic case of executive and congressional power versus judicial power.

With Akismet there was an interesting dilemma. Is it for the good of the world Akismet being secret and being more effective against spammers, versus it being open and less effective? It seemed more people would be helped by blocking spam.

With Akismet, there was an interesting dilemma. Is it for the good of the world Akismet being secret and being more effective against spammers, versus it being open and less effective?

We like playing on the road. We love playing at home. So like versus love.

We would love to be the first airport to accommodate the A380. Physically, given the size of San Francisco versus the size of other cities in the U.S., we wouldn't necessarily be first on the list, but perhaps because of the readiness of our facility we can be.

This sale represents the continuation of our Company's strategy to dispose of assets located outside of core markets and provides the opportunity to recycle capital into acquisitions and development in our higher growth markets. We have sold $27 million in properties year to date versus our stated annual goal of $100 million.

There is a clear bifurcation between older listeners who buy music online versus younger listeners who get it free, ... The Beatles won't bring in a new generation of users but it will boost revenue because it will appeal to the segment of older listeners who are already buying music online.

We're trying not to get that far ahead of ourselves. We're trying to take it slower versus faster. He is a rehab player. We'll analyze him and see how he feels.

We're relying on that report to tell us exactly where are we transporting students that are walking two miles or more away from home to get to school, versus other students who walk more than two miles that don't get transportation.

Why is it braver to be a single mother versus being with a partner? Being in a couple and having a child could be more challenging because there might be conflict if the male partner cannot understand the extreme attachment a woman feels when she has a child.

You have gains in the more cyclical names versus selling in Citigroup and J.P. Morgan. You also have the Dow getting a lift from some positive short-term movement in the dollar,

Thorpe will be back, which is good. Swimming is huge in Australia, and me and Roland versus Thorpe is already being built up,

This year, we are certainly creating some pressure on the bottom line by this move in the US to broadband. That's a conscious decision. It is a classic short-term versus long-term trade-off.

This trend of the stabilization of the broad stock market we've been seeing lately will continue through the year. We saw a sharp recovery in stock prices last year, but right now stocks are fairly valued versus the underlying fundamentals.

This time it was much more intense. Last year, the contestants were kind of 'us versus Gordon' right up until the end - this was brutally competitive right from the beginning.

To secure an entire enterprise, offer guest access, and voice over WLAN, you need pervasive coverage versus selective coverage,

We had a bad day at work. I don't think we've had such a day since 1998 when we started versus Spain, but respect to Ireland - they were much more aggressive, much more concentrated and we did not play as a team.

We are slightly raising our prior guidance on earnings per share for 2000 to $3.14, which would represent a 67 percent increase, versus 1999's EPS on ongoing operations of $1.88.

There are pros and cons for rebuilding versus buying a new instrument.

There are less buyers today, less sellers and therefore less reasons to pay big money for expensive showrooms and trade shows, ... That's why the building's occupancy has been at about 60 percent over the past few years versus a 100 percent earlier.

The president seems to do what is politically expedient, versus what is morally correct. Therefore, if we make it politically expedient for him to do the moral thing, that's what he'll do.

Two stable outlooks versus one (negative by Moody's) confirms bullish outlook for the country.
