Judging from the initial poster's excellent command of the English language and mature attitude, I'd say that he is about 15-16 years old. He's read a couple of books on hacking and runs linux on an old dell his parents bought him on his 13th birthday. Why do people even bother replying to...

There is some disagreement to their legitimacy, but they still continue to operate in Russia without problems: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/4328269.stm -Neo

If the RIAA members used this type of pricing in the first place, without aggravating their customers with copy protection schemes then they wouldn't have a problem with piracy in the first place. Sure their margins would decrease, but an increase in market share would compensate them for it...

I've opened an HSBC account recently too. It takes a bit longer then ING (which I have been using up until now), but their payout is better then ING's 4.35 vs 5.05 and they give you an ATM card. -Neo

The Series 7 is not hard. The reason so many people fail it is because it covers a lot of material which, people are too lazy to study. I passed it on the first try, however I know a lot of people who have taken it 2-3 times. Best option is to take a review course which will force you to read...

Depends on what you are doing. Janitor, IT, securities anaylst? What position? -Neo

hmmm a new twist to the saga, AMD us buying ATI: http://www.tradearabia.com/tanews/newsdetails_snIT_article108688_cnt.html -Neo

Man... that killed my long white candle :(

Agreed, Its my right what I do with my money. We are all adults and we don't need the government to "protect" us from ourselves. What is truly needed is protection from idiot politicians. We are supposed to be living in one of the freest countries in the world, yet we have the government...

Most people are under the mistaken expression that LCTM failed mainly due to a failure of their models, but it was more like the fact that they strayed away from their models. They started to make directional bets instead of following their market neutral strategy, they over-leveraged and lastly...

Smartest thing I have heard so far. Many of these advanced models exibit curve fitting or work only on a large time scale and have results no better then a simple reversion to the mean model. I predict that until we can get our hands on quantum computing we won't be experiencing any...

That thigh and butt formation is saying go long!!!:D -Neo

I agree with cashonly however, I think there are some broader implications here, namely the arrest of executives who's companies are domiciled out of the US for the crime of accepting American's gambling money. -Neo

Looks like gambling sites are in for a rough patch. The American Gambling establishment has lobbied high enough to get the US authorities to start legal actions against over-seas based gambling sites. -Neo http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/5189906.stm

Hehe, Cause I'm a sister lovin' hill-billy! :p Realistically speaking, my girlfriend is hotter, but I wouldn't mind having a sister that looked like the chick on the screen. :D

You Bastard, how did you get a picture of my sister?!? :D

Sorry you had to go through that experience. You should consider yourself lucky that nothing worse came of it. My mother had a gun pulled on her while taking the train to work a year ago, but this is the first time I've heard of a drive-by mugging. On the brighter side I don't think you have...

He suggests taking the logarithm of the price, because the lognormal distribution is bounded from below by zero, just like asset prices (they can't have a negative price). (Someone correct me if I remember wrong) Take the log of each price, find the Covariace between asset A and B and their...

Only an options trader with the most wicked trading setup ever!!! Hehe :D

Considering that most consumers and companies are not looking to upgrade their systems until Windows Vista comes out, it might be the case that the impact of the new CPU will only start effecting intel's bottom line when Vista ships. Many corps will not be buying vista at the start because of...
