    Miss Teen USA 2007 - South Carolina answers a question

    Miss Lauren Caitlin Upton is hot (and knows it) and dumb (and doesn't care). As long as she has the ability to... move her lips, she's got all it takes to be a winner in life, on top of being a genetic lottery winner. The real shocker is these beauty pageants actually having so-called...

    I-pod question

    If you know that you've only got mp3 files, Bob111's method is spot on. If some of your music files have other extensions like Apple's own default aac, flac, wma, etc., they will not be found. In that case, use Search - Pictures, music or video - check Music box - Search. Make sure you search...

    Jessica Lunsford

    Swift "justice", Mao style. The "head negotiator" in pic 3 is obviously not the "decider" in pic 4. Looks like the authorities did negotiate in good faith, maybe even for a whole few minutes.

    observation regarding currency and gold

    Your observations are qualitatively in line, but your data is way off. 1 July 2002: 1.5294 GBP/USD, $312.10/oz. London fix; 0.004900 oz./£. 24 Aug 2007: 2.0142 GBP/USD, $668.20/oz.; 0.003014 oz./£. In other words, gold more than doubled (up 114.10%) in dollar terms (after going...

    fyi

    Before I noticed that subtle laptop, I could've sworn that's a beer ad. It's got most of the essential beer ad elements (except, strangely enough, the beer): 3 uncontrollably-laughing-for-no-reason, spaced-out, cartoonish, multi-ethnic bimbos, all over 1 (note the excellent 3:1 R-ratio) equally...

    2% rule on small accounts?

    With a $10,000 account, I would suggest that you forget about gold futures - even the mini contract - for now. Instead, if you really must give it a go with gold, consider two viable alternatives: 1) gold ETFs - GLD, IAU, etc. You get all the familiar characteristics of listed stocks...

    excel 'mode' function w/ decimals

    mode(round(a1:a3,1)) You were close. "Doing round() for each cell" - as in creating another array with rounded values outside of a1:a3, then taking mode of that array - also works, although must lose points for lack of parsimoniousness.

    Those are impressive monthly P&L numbers. Interestingly, the period from January through April of 2000 was the height of the dot-com bubble, with NASDAQ peaking at an all-time high on March 10.

    Rimm Crashes To 82 - Why?

    Hey, not so fast. At least judging from ET, it would seem that many who "trade" forex, in fact, don't know equity basics. No need even to tell a limit from a stop... or (gasp) understand something as complicated as "volume." :D
