I've been following the various Linux IPO (Initial Public Offering)s and
today I see that VA Linux Systems [1] had their IPO today. [2]. Briefly, it
IPOed (can you verb a TLA? Can you verb the word “verb?” Whatever … ) at
US$30 and opened at US$299. Inbloodysane.

Andover.Net [3] wasn't nearly as inbloodysane.
