    Is it smart to start a public company?

    Thanks for the kind words Banjo! I'll try and put a response together for the OP in a bit. I've been waist deep in contracts for the past two weeks. They're mostly Gov't contracts at the shipyard (Pearl). So what is normally a 3-6 page structural subcontract in the private sector, balloons into...

    Kick Ass (the movie)

    Yes I agree, it was juvenile. That's probably why I enjoyed it. Probably the kind of movie that ends up with no middle ground. It's either all love or no love.

    The Allen Human Brain Atlas

    I can relate. Those Popular Science mags of years back... and now for that matter... really depicted all kinds of Utopian devices. And yes, I'm really bummed that the flying car and anti-gravity hasn't come to fruition for the masses. Yet 'ya gotta admit, a dream has to start somewhere...

    Kick Ass (the movie)

    Yeah, I really liked Mystery Men also. The little girl in Kick Ass stole the show. I'm not just talking about the fight scenes... they do things with her character that's just very unexpected of an 11 year old. They don't really do anything that's particularly groundbreaking, but was just...

    Kick Ass (the movie)

    Hands Down, the best movie I've seen all year, or maybe five. Throw the trailers out the window. It's not what you'd expect. It's not perfect, but it's damn entertaining.

    The Allen Human Brain Atlas

    !omega! To me that's the greatest contribution of the net. To have virtually instant access to just about any information, on just about any subject at your fingertips. That's beauty of it. Yeah you gotta wade through mountains of crap at times, but it's out there... and it's only gonna get...

    Hey shorts, I just want to ask you a couple questions. I promise I won't laugh..

    I guess great minds... or maybe, minds of a feather... http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=2329147#post2329147 Just nobody ask me when I sold it, or else I'll shoot you.

    Desperately seeking SUSY

    I like this passage (out of context): "...Psychology is not applied biology, nor is biology applied chemistry. We can now see that the whole becomes not merely more, but very different from the sum of its parts." I'm surfacely familiar with emergent science. I stumbled across it years back...

    Problem with PC

    Actually I'm using something similar I think - "Memory Fox" Does it help? I have no clue...

    Problem with PC

    Got it. I couldn't test my trading apps so I opened a crap load of active browser pages, WMP, and some YouTube stuff. I maxed out my CPU and my PF Usage graph never got above 450 MB, and this is just with a stick of 1Gig. So I guess I won't need 4 GB's after all. Thanks Scatmandu.

    Problem with PC

    I kinda lost you Scat. I guess what I'm asking is will 4 Gigs help, or is it a waste? Sorry, TIA.

    Problem with PC

    New Question: I'm running XP Pro 32bit OS. I've read that upgrading to 4 Gigs of RAM would be a waste since this system only makes use 2 Gigs. Is this true? Even when I use the mem tool off of crucial.com, it only recommends 2 Gigs. I was gonna get 4.

    I think along with that and perhaps of equal stature is the "other" stuff they may find on their way... :eek:

    Desperately seeking SUSY

    You talk'in about Schrodinger's Cat here? The reason I ask is because how you worded it: "... depending on how you ask the question." Which I interpret as how you observe it. To me, as long as you're testing, asking, observing, etc., according to the theory, you've already sealed the probable...

    Problem with PC

    This is a very good idea. Not to mention I have all kinds of room down there in the case. Just gotta get the air flow right I'd imagine. And the spec points you bring up are true.
