Tell Elizabeth Warren about it. And oh, maybe BO was not qualified to receive affirmative action

Let’s just be generous and leave aside whether US has money or not, and just ask what bridges, tunnels or stretch of highways the previous tranches of stimulus money has resulted in.

No need to guess. The entire middle class in US would be 1% in China. So go ahead, redistribute.

I agree with AAA’s diagnosis of the broken system re: CEO pay, and I don’t think that’s right either, but what do you do to effect some change? Let congress pass laws to put a limit? Where would that lead us? If the tax system is the problem that let some companies avoid paying taxes...

If you believe in capitalism, then it's up to the investors in such companies to decide whether or not the CEO's are overpaid, deservce their pay, or they should be sacked. If you don't like such companies, don't invest in them and don't buy their products. It's not your business really, if...

Better state that, if you're +ev in a hand, it is never THEORETICALLY correct to fold... It is the size of the raise you have no control over...

I once had an inverter problem with my Dell 600m laptop. And I fixed it myself. For you, if you have someone fixed it, the labor charge probably will amount to $200. Inverter itself costs about $50. I don't remember exactly what I paid for it, as I ordered it on e-bay, and it took some...

If responsible home owners have to subsidize those who were not, then why not create a "market" where they will be able to "bid" on those outsized houses with swimmin pools and fancy kitchens/bathrooms. The "bids" is their current mortgage payment so that, if reasonable to the banks, they will...

Time zone is indeed great, but how can a US citizen move to UK to be domiciled there, if not work-related? You just stay there. Surely there are some rules regarding this? Appreciate any information. TIA.

Anyone knows a laptop (15" or 17") with a DVI to hook up a second high res monitor? TIA

I am not a big fan of Tradestation, having experienced data lag's etc before in fast (or sometimes not so fast) markets. But I have to say that, during the last week's furious markets, my TS worked very well without freeze and no noticeable lags. My PC is Dell Dimension 9000 C2D w/ 2 gig ram...

Hmm, were you expecting that something would happen to it? If not, would you have bought it @ $.10 with just a 2 hours before expiration? If answer to both is no, then treat it as a coincidence. Or were you thinking of selling the calls to pick up some "free" nickles and dimes?

Yes, where does that tack pin go?

Isn't he, the author, the same guy who went on CNBC back in March, right after the BSC bailout, proclaiming that banking sector had bottomed?

In this case, it is not only the capacity that you should be concerned about, imho. It is the speed, or the lag. Think about it, the packages are sent to a satellite and sent back to your pc and are subject to all kinds of interference. Even home wi-fi connection is not as stable as wired...
