While unit demand is going up at roughly 50 percent, the bit demand, meaning the number of wafers we have to make, is going up at about 100 percent. I believe that's going to keep the shortage going at least through this year, and well into next year - possibly through all of next year.

We've been aware for some time roughly the number of people who have trained overseas and they've been the focus of the attention of both ASIO and the AFP and also the state police in our joint operations,

The target date is a must. Every year, we are printing roughly 350 million tickets. We will not print any more paper tickets by 2007.

There are roughly 2 million businesses in the United States with between 5 and 100 employees. It's an excellent market to operate in.

The projected path of movement swings it away from Central Florida and then curves it toward the Panhandle by the time we get to Monday with a projected landfall roughly between Apalachicola and New Orleans. That is the uncertainty we still have with the next landfall. But the path of Katrina takes it toward the Panhandle and well away from Central Florida.

We've identified roughly 300 of these businesses throughout San Diego County. It's one of those industries that demands skills in intellectual property.

I've worked in communities that are the size of Marquette. My experience has been in communities of roughly 20,000 to 30,000 in population, with a very diverse service base. I believe I'm an excellent choice to be your next city manager.

It would be pointless. We have only three trains (between 6 a.m. and 7:30 a.m.), and they arrive roughly every 30 minutes. If PATH ran every six minutes, nobody from Metro-North would be getting on them.

With his excellent skills and background with customers, as well as handling and managing multiple projects and orders concurrently, we are excited to have Paul join our operation. As a small company, it has always been our priority to put the customer first. When building our equipment or solving issues in the field, this has worked well. Now that we have increased our order book dramatically?we've grown roughly 50% in the past year?it is vital that we handle both our own soda blasting projects as well as the needs of Buster Blaster contractors with efficiency and effectiveness. Paul's skills and personality fit perfectly with these needs.

Thanks to the fact that the Earth isn't a perfect sphere, and invoking a bunch of Newtonian physics, you can deduce that our planet wobbles, too, taking roughly 26,000 years to trace out a small circle on the sky, a phenomenon known as precession.

Of the 2.7 million jobs lost since employment's peak, roughly a third have been lost to overseas competition, and most if not all of those jobs are not coming back, ... And that trend is going to continue.

Roughly one million people are entering the middle class each month and government policies to increase consumption mean this is an ideal time for us to expand in China. The average person living in Beijing can buy four times as much from us as he could when we opened in the capital in 1999.

Roughly speaking, when you are dealing with business firms operating in a competitive system, you can assume that they're going to act rationally. Why? Because someone in a firm who buys things at $10 and sells them for $8.00 isn't going to last very long in that firm.

roughly the same intelligence that the Clinton administration saw.

Roughly two weeks ago, we had more than 4,000 online transactions.

Speak roughly to your little boy, / And beat him when he sneezes: / He only does it to annoy, / Because he knows it teases.

Speak roughly to your little boy, and beat him when he sneezes: he only does it to annoy, because he knows it teases.

Novell's Linux revenue increased 22 percent year over year to $10.4 million. Red Hat's revenue grew 44 percent year over year to $73 million in its most recent quarter. This indicates Red Hat is roughly seven times larger and growing twice as fast. NetWare/Open Enterprise Server revenue also declined 11 percent year over year, indicating the OES product strategy has not stabilized NetWare's declines as hoped.

There was a best-selling book in the late '60s and '70s called 'The Adventurers' by Harold Robbins. The lead character's name was Dax. Anyone that's roughly my age that's named Dax is named from that book.

We believe Microsoft will be hurt by weakness in the consumer PC space, which represents roughly 10-15 percent of its business. As we have said, the shift to browser-based computing is slowing the need for upgrades, and perhaps the more sophisticated gaming platforms are removing the need for homes to have the latest high performance PC's. As a result, corporate PC's will have to pick up the slack in the next quarter.

We believe Oracle will have to cut Siebel's operating expenses by approximately 30 to 40 percent (or roughly $350 to $400 million) in order to meet previously stated accretion goals.

Weather in December has been roughly about 20percent colder than normal. So, our guess right now is that the increase in the December bill will be more than the 27 percent that we forecast, simply because the weather has been so cold.

We did not plan three years ago to create more than token Iraqi forces. Now we're at 230,000 roughly and counting. Our whole strategy is dependent on the success of the Iraqi army and the Iraqi police.

I joined Bell Laboratories in the fall of 1978. I was one of roughly two dozen brash, young scientists that were hired within a two year period.

In fiscal 2007, we anticipate gross capital expenditures of approximately $300 million. Planned expenditures primarily relate to new store construction and land purchases associated with future year store openings. Compared with the roughly $200 million of spending in fiscal 2006, the fiscal 2007 capital spending estimate primarily reflects a higher level of real estate purchases for store development in future years, as well as the timing of construction activities.

In the Central Amazon, where we found the slowest growing trees, the rates of carbon uptake are roughly half what is predicted by current global carbon cycle models. As a result, those modelsùwhich are used by scientists to understand how carbon flows through the Earth systemùmay be overestimating the forests' capacity to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

In the roughly six hours that the counting of the votes took place, a very large amount of progress was made. If the count had continued yesterday afternoon and this morning, that count would be largely completed, with possibly the exception of one or two counties that were outside of the Tallahassee area,

Cable is not really growing at all. It's seeing roughly 15 to 20 percent growth in terms of upgrades to digital cable, but net total growth for the industry will probably be down 2 to 3 percent in 2004.

Buying power, we know, is one key signal of the growth and size of the vital GLBT consumer market. In our report, we cite buying power as another term for 'disposable personal income,' which is the total after-tax income available to an individual to spend on personal consumption, personal interest payments or savings. According to economists, it roughly equals 86% of income.

By ignoring that market, you're ignoring a lot. Investing internationally isn't about chasing returns, but achieving diversification. Sometimes U.S. stocks do really well, and sometimes foreign stocks do really well. They don't move in tandem, but, for the long run, they should be roughly similar on average.

The U.S. is roughly 300 million people and the rest of the world is 6 billion people, so when you think of the opportunity of international markets, that's the best example.

They'll do roughly the same amount of stuff during that hour and a half.
