Flags of our Fathers is a great book, the movie did not really do it justice in my opinion because you never got to know the characters as well as you did in the book, where you felt like you grew up with them from childhood. WW2 is an incredibly fascinating subject and one that I believe...

Oh they get "it", it's just that what they get is they have to tell people what they want to hear every couple of years and then go back to the usual business of prostituting themselves to the highest bidder. We're the morons who don't get it and keep thinking that there is an ounce of any real...

I know how they could save some money in my area - stop giving every friggin kid door to door service. I walked to school in junior and senior high and before that I walked a 1/2 mile to the bus stop. I don't know when this started or which "think of the children" rallying cry caused it to...

That's good advice lilduckling. I lost about 50 pounds in six months by changing my diet and exercising differently. I stopped eating red meat, pork, eggs, dark meat poultry and skinned poultry and all fried foods except tortilla chips that I make myself every once in awhile. I stopped...

I've got a question - why doesn't the government just do the damn lending directly at this point? Why must we keep these frigging parasite middlemen involved? Clearly they don't add any value to the transactions they are involved in.

Obama's solution for everything seems to involve control by the federal government. McCain is not much better, occasionally giving lip service to the "market". Sure would be nice to get something outside of the statist paradigm. Stop subsidizing and penalizing with taxes! It's like an out of...

I can't seem to get any backfill through them using QuoteTracker or IB's charts.

Locked up on IE6 with a brand new Dell laptop yesterday. Didn't crash though, just froze for a few seconds. Installed FF w/ adblock on it and is doing fine so far. Amazingly I knew what Firefox was before talking to you experts on this board but thanks for your sincere advice anyways...

"The housing market is going to get worse, the taxpayer is going to get billed, and Asian central bankers will eventually be wiped out by Federal Reserve inflation. That is where all addiction ends." -Gary North He has a pretty good article about subsidies and bailouts up on...

IE7 - it's really annoying

More underage drinkin'

Bristol on the left. I'm starting to really like this girl...

Bristol and the baby-daddy more coming...

The first line is your firewall/router/gateway (I'm assuming you are a home user based on the comcast looking partial domain names of the routers in the trace) dropping the ICMP packets from your traceroute. It is normal expected behavior. There are a lot of hops but it is not necessarily...

usually firewalls not responding to ICMP

Mine don't seem to be working in TWS or Quotetracker. Other exchanges are fine. Thanks

So the answer is a democratic congress with a democratic president? We need some good old fashioned DC gridlock, imo the less things the government can get done the better it is for all of us because they have proven time and again that regardless of party the only thing they do effectively is...

I know a woman who has a very similar business here in DC and she does pretty well with it. The key is the clientele, getting in with the country club set. These people already have nanny's raising their kids even though the wife doesn't work so throwing out what to them amounts to a very...
