    how would a US citizen short China?

    Doesn't IB allow you to trade Hang Seng Index futures and options?? If they don't, I think Xpresstrade does.

    Camarilla equeation?

    The name Coca Cola is trademarked. But Coca Cola has no "protection" for their formula. Employees who may have access to it (very limited # with access to full formula) sign non-disclosure agreements. Breach of the NDA is actionable in civil court. However there is no outright protection...

    19" laptop

    When it gets to be 19", the term "notebook" hardly seems applicable :)

    Actual Volatility of an Option

    rrisch - A couple thoughts: 1. When you say "historical volatility of the option" are you really interested in range of implied volatility the option has had? Since the option is a derivative of the underlying security, HV of the option prices seems somewhat meaningless since their price...

    convert vhs to dvd

    If you have a direct encoding video capture device and/or a basic capture card and a fast enough PC - you can just feed your VHS video in and turn it directly into an MPEG encoded video file that you can then immediately burn to DVD (no editing required). Pinnacle Systems has a bunch of...

    Is this encoded JScript a hacking exploit ?

    Sounds kind of like trying to keep from getting AIDS from having sex by cutting off your wanker, putting it in a safe, have sex (using a strap-on), and then reattaching your little Bill - instead of just wearing a condom. :) :) :)

    Windows XP Services - which ones to disable?

    Aside from any "server" type processes (WWW, FTP, Telnet, Remote Registry, etc.) - most of which are already hopefully not actually running - you might want to disable the Indexing Service (unless you do a whole lot of file searches - it's a waste) and/or set all your disk to non-Indexed...

    Is that really Elliott Waves? Sounds a lot like more conventional methods of trend channel trading involving normal retracement, reversal, and price projection - i.e., prices move to the top of the trend channel and start to lose momentum, you either anticipate or wait for the retracement...

    elwave 7.1 any comments

    That's interesting, but it sounds like all it's doing is holding a presumed count until the trade based on it fails and then recomputing a new presumed count. Doesn't change that while EW "might" be 100% accurate in hindsight, the trader can easily end up going through potentially hundreds...

    VR goggles with multiple monitors

    Why not just buy some LCD panels and a matrix rack to hang them on?

    Arnald's Budget Rejects 7,600 UC Applicants

    I definitely agree with you that Indian casinos and other businesses should not be getting without paying the same taxes and fees that other similar businesses pay. I especially hate the "traveling reservation" or "store as an embassy" kind of rationale that's letting tribes get away with...

    Arnald's Budget Rejects 7,600 UC Applicants

    I must not understand your point. I was saying that a 3.76 GPA/1330 SAT combo seemed too low a threshold for a $20K+/yr school, especially one that taxpayer dollars are being used to subsidize 65% of the tuition for. Couple reasons for saying that is that (1) Berkeley's only about $4K/yr...

    Qlink/Qcharts inconsistent

    It's because the data stream from the exchange isn't time stamped. So as each data server receives the raw tick feed, they each time stamp each tick as they each receive them and then assemble the bars based on those time stamps. There can therefore be slight differences based on...

    A 3.76 GPA/1330 SAT combo average seems too low for a $20K+/yr school - especially one that's being subsidized 65% by taxpayers.

    Arnald's Budget Rejects 7,600 UC Applicants

    Yeah, got that. I thought you meant that they had initially been accepted but were now getting rejection letters. My take from the article was that they did indeed send rejection letters to them (as they do to tens of thousands each year) and that in prior years they would probably gotten...

    Arnald's Budget Rejects 7,600 UC Applicants

    That's no doubt true - but the cuts at UC didn't apply to CSU. Forget about the JCs for a second. Couldn't they go to a CSU campus for a couple years? Not all of these 7600 kids in question wanted to go to UCB - that number is across all UC campuses and not all of them were going into...

    Arnald's Budget Rejects 7,600 UC Applicants

    Frankly I agree with you that all these Indian casinos should have to cough of their share just like any other casino does. And it's ridiculous that just because a store is owned by a tribe (even though the store itself isn't on the reservation) that they get to avoid paying taxes. In the same...

    Arnald's Budget Rejects 7,600 UC Applicants

    Per the article that was linked: 1. California has a $14 BILLION budget shortfall 2. The UC campuses receive $2.9 billion/year from the state 3. The proposal is to cut 8% from the state funding to UC ($372 million) - representing about 2 1/2% of the statewide shortfall 4. The article...
