lkh - the charts also ignore little things like the hundreds of billions in corporate earnings that were supposedly made during Clinton's tenure but which turned out to be phony and later restated, the tens of thousands of essentially phony/useless jobs created for a few years by the dot bombs...

CBS Marketwatch says the NYSE announced that they would be closed on Friday - Nasdaq will have to close too - CME will likely close index futures trading too

They must be struggling with the idea that they'll have to bump the CEO of some company that's celebrating their 10th anniversary of being listed on the NYSE if they close on Friday. :)

Absolutely true - as far as the statistic goes. In absolute dollars paid, the richest few % pay the largest % of total tax dollars. However, a factor missed by that simple (albeit correct) statistic is that the richest few % pay less % of their total income in income taxes than those in the...

Robbing from the middle class is nothing new. Usually it's the Democrats doing it, but since all politicians are basically part of the same slimy sub-species - why shouldn't it be a non-denominational act?? :) :)

Yeah, I thought about that too - but 300 points? Possible I guess.

Aside from the obvious - that it's not possible for the S&P to move 300 points in days let alone only 10 seconds - what event could you possibly think of that would be so incredibly positive to trigger that much unbridled and relentless buying??

Maybe if individual votes were pro rated based on the percentage your last 5 years taxes were to your income it would eventually balance out. Pay little or no taxes (relative to your income), get no say in who gets elected to decide how taxes are spent. A democracy begins to decline as...

Do a search of the ET boards and/or a quick google and you'll quickly find the top 5-6 datafeeds. Which are good for you depends on your particular needs.

Funny - although your joke may go unnoticed by many

Sounds like another collision at the intersection of Nutbar Ave. and Dumbass Rd.

I don't use SWP, but I got this reply earlier from a different software company - it fixed the hanging problem I was seeing trying to connect to the quote.com datafeed - maybe it'll work for you: ...Looks like only the quote.com V5 interface library is now able to work with their datafeed...

Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you're talking about, but it sounds like a very small niche at best. BTW - how are planning on packing the quote snapshots for 10,000 symbols into only 100 bytes? Good luck.

Yeah, W2K doesn't have UPnP - it was implemented as a part of XP (they also played with it a bit a long time ago for WMe - but that whole thing was a total abortion). If you'd turned off MSN Messenger, the only thing that might have happened is that it had already created the network defs on...

Not sure whether to laugh or wonder if you might be the only person to never see Ghostbusters :) :)

BTW - you might want to also make sure you have the latest firmware running in the Dlink - according to their website, the DI-624's latest firmware rev level is 2.42 (dated April 6, 2004). Had another thought - did you install MS Messenger either as part of your XP install (might have been...

Never used the Dlink gear but just wondering if maybe it's a nomenclature thing for it. When you say that the ports were "open" - were they assigned an internal IP address in the firewall to forward activity on the ports to or were general ports forwarding rules just defined? If there...

Don't cross the streams!!!!

I have a Linksys firewall router which includes UPnP forwarding and I'm going to guess it probably works the same as your Dlink. The feature does allow specific ports to be open to the internet (for those wanting to open public services from internal internal LAN to the internet) - however...

Continued: Precautionary Nonsense Of course, “sufficient” data can never exist for zealots like Rissler. She continued: “Do we assume the technology is safe… or do we prove it? The scientist in me wants to prove it’s safe.” It’s impossible to prove a negative, to absolutely...
