You've proven the point - generalities are very easy for the average person to accept and believe - because doing so means that no deeper thought is required. They can just encapsulate a large group of people into a single convenient bubble without bothering to understand their composition...

Interesting how the meaning of words get corrupted over time. Some terms are used incorrectly for so long that people think they're correct (e.g., most people think the word's flammable - but the correct word is inflammable - they had to start using the corruption "flammable" because there...

Windows Messenger is a LAN-based service that's used to display network alerts - might be used by a LAN admin to let everyone on the LAN know a server was coming down in a few minutes. Those flying naked on the Internet (no NAT router or other firewall) are susceptible to annoying popup ads...

They want a patent on price improvement?? What's next, Walmart wanting a patent on beating any published price??

This sounds a little like what some people on ET were doing and pyramiding heavily into heading into 2000 only then their positions were constructed with a positive bias while yours seems basically negative biased. They disappeared from the boards after the market tanked. It's not a "safe"...

The "hole in the ozone" is separate from global warming. Whether the ozone layer is truly depleting due to certain chemical interactions or whether the "hole" has always been there because of geomagnetic interaction isn't known. Nor is it known whether overall ozone density naturally varies...

Would have to be completely limit locked for a week plus, since most volume tends to roll to the next period a week or more before expiration - but contracts do still get traded even on days prices trigger limits so even in the unusual condition of price limits for more than a week you'd still...

Separate your arguments - toxic chemical pollution should clearly be targeted, as should insisting on a rapid time table for radically increasing the gas mileage of vehicles out of Detroit (why the hell is anyone letting Hummers on the road with 10 MPG). However, the arguments that apply to...

Here are some factors to chew on for the sake of argument: 1. Average global temp is increasing - that's fairly well documented. But there's no conclusive evidence as to the cause. 2. Since detailed records don't go back more than about 120 years, scientists don't know if this warming...

NVA and not worth further discussion

Did you ever have an AGP card running on it? If not - you might check to see if there's an onboard video adapter that needs to be turned off first or some other video setting that gives priority to the AGP card. You should also make sure you have the most recent BIOS version installed in...

They supposedly have phone records that show that after she got the news from her broker about Waksal and family dumping Imclone stock (which is considered insider info) she immediately called Waksal on his cellphone. They've got both her and his phone records that show they talked at length...

Superfulous?? Interesting what you apparently do and don't consider superfulous. Actually I did read your post carefully. Just didn't think your suggestions had much relevence to helping Easyrider resolve the described problem (which perhaps you didn't read carefully given your post)...

Then don't trade it. If it's too volatile for your taste, trade something else. Complaining about it won't change the contract specs or what a tick's worth. It is what it is. Live with it or avoid it.

Could be a victim of their own success like other datafeeds have been. They hype it and their volume shoots up and what used to work starts breaking down or overloading and then it starts snowballing. Then they start with patches and quick fixes but some of those break or break other things...

The RAM self-test (and count) is done by the BIOS. The OS hasn't even loaded yet (whether from your hard drive or a bootable CD). Linux is immaterial - you don't need to try to scrounge a Linux CD - inserting a bootable diskette would be the same test (but you're unlikely to see any...

Short answer - Yes A prenup is a contract - you can write any terms you want and both agree to (as long as it's not illegal of course).

You'd have to check the contract specs. A lot of times you'll have multiple symbols for what looks like the same month/strike combo but the contract specs are different because it reflects a special case condition (maybe they changed the delivery quantity to 150 shares because of a split or...

Sounds like a weather forecast :)

It's probably a timing issue rather than real below bid/above ask trades, e.g., a series of trades hit the ask (let's say 1120) and burn the available volume and then a trade execution comes down the pipe @ 1120.25 before the ask on the datafeed's L1 quote got refreshed (so it looks like an...
