    Israel: Iran sending warships to Mediterranean Sea

    Humans desire to believe in a benevolent greater being and for there to be more to life than to be born, reproduce and then die is understandable but that doesn't make it true. In ancient times man couldn't explain a whole host of things which undoubtedly scared them so they attributed...

    Israel: Iran sending warships to Mediterranean Sea

    True, that site seems more oriented to sustaining a long-term conventional war rather than a quick nuclear war. You can see the nuke counts at FAS.org (http://www.fas.org/programs/ssp/nukes/nuclearweapons/nukestatus.html) and that still puts Israel far from number #3.

    Israel: Iran sending warships to Mediterranean Sea

    No one told me - I figured it out for myself. Who told you that you would either go to heaven or hell and why did you believe them?

    Israel: Iran sending warships to Mediterranean Sea

    http://www.globalfirepower.com/ ranks Israel as 11th, I would like to see a reasonable cite that ranks them 3rd.

    can a disk with win7 on it be moved to another pc?

    It depends on the differences in the hardware, IMHO what you are proposing is generally not a good idea, especially if the new PC uses newer system components (e.g. latest Intel chipsets). Also even if it does work you will need to re-activate Windows 7 because it will see the hardware has...

    How much faster is an SSD vs. platter drive, really?

    You will only notice a big difference switching from an HDD to an SDD if you use your hard drive a lot. This may seem like a big "duh" but really for most users you boot your system and then hard drive activity isn't that significant: loading a program into memory, saving a document, etc...

    Sell-Off this week?

    Your dow feed is wrong as is ashantt's - dow futures havent been off more than 80 or so points since the 6pm open (11690 low). It sounds like your quote is going off of Friday's open rather than Friday's close.

    Do you think the Fed will ever raise rates?

    There is another reason they can't raise rates too much - the interest that the US Gov't is paying on its huge debt would increase, causing more deficits and more debt - a vicious cycle. Right now everyone in the world is still playing along in this game of musical chairs (buying US debt...

    paranoid ? or is Google tracking me - and you ?

    Xena said without qualification that Google is tracking your browsing, not that they are tracking it if all three of these conditions are met (1) You have google toolbar installed (2) You are logged into Google and (3) You have opted in to this service. Big difference. Of course its much more...

    paranoid ? or is Google tracking me - and you ?

    All of my browsing is tracked by Google? You do understand that Browsing and Searching are not the same things...right?

    E-commerce! Why you should never buy anything at a "brick and mortar" store.

    False choice - You can research online and then go to a B&M store to purchase if you so desire. That being said, I much prefer shopping online but not for the reason you stated.

    Why are quants afraid of Mark Jurik?

    So you admit to getting ideas from him and claim to have developed a better AMA but you're too cheap to even buy his stuff for a couple hundred dollars to show your appreciation for his work? Nice.

    Why are quants afraid of Mark Jurik?

    For someone that appears to be so completely in love with Jurik and his work I find it strange that you haven't even bothered to buy any of his products that you find so superior. So all this lavish praise you heap on him is without any first-hand experience using JMA? Strange.

    taxman spying on your house via satellite

    I am having trouble seeing the problem with using sat imagery to find people that have things like pools without proper permits. The gov't has the right to go around and find people who have built things without proper permits...using sat imagery like Google & Microsoft provides seems like...

    Acronis clone question

    I have been a long-time user of Acronis and I can't understand how it can clone a disk but not make an image backup of a disk because of a read sector - the source drive must be read regardless of the destination type (clone vs image). The image backup is far superior, it takes up much...

    Is this wash trade... is this legal

    I think intent would play into whether this specific example is illegal. As previously mentioned, I don't think two 1000 share trades of PFE is going to have any effect on PFE's price or any other traders actions (unlike a transaction on some thinly traded pink sheet stock). I'd like to...
