    My next motherboard

    I've found C++ code to be really unproductive after programming for more than 14 years.. compile errors can be absolute hell with template expansions sometimes causing one method declaration to be 10 lines long. Also, GCC is pretty damned slow and I've yet to find an IDE that can refactor c++...

    My next motherboard

    :D I'm writing all my stuff in java with a custom high performance math package I wrote. jni calls to atlas (http://math-atlas.sourceforge.net/) bindings with very intuitive matrix/vector operations, slicing, reversing, transpose, matrix reshaping, etc. It can do nearly everything matlab can...

    Your argument is disingenuous. Switching the subject because you just made yourself to be an ass. As I said before, I do not believe a diagnosis by a mental health professional is required for someone to be insane. There are lots of insane people that go undiagnosed.

    Have you lost your fucking mind? From the page. apparently you cannot read. Punishing the sinners? Oct. 4: Franklin Graham, son of Rev. Billy Graham says Katrina was God's way of sending a message to a city of sin like New Orleans. Did God wish to punish New Orleans? Tonight's Scarborough...

    Actually, it was Franklin Graham who said that. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/9600878/ But I'm sure Pat did as well, that fucking knuckle dragger. How mature of you to resort to name calling, you are turning everything that is happening to you and directing it at me.. googling, high pulse...

    He says God was punishing New Orleans. Anyone with the slightest bit of reasoning will realize he is delusional. You should learn to think for yourself sometime instead of turning to "professionals" for guidance. My head feels perfectly fine btw, but thanks for asking.

    You know, it's pretty easy to declare ones self the winner. I can do it too. I am the winner. Childish indeed. I stand by my assertion that hardcore religous belief is a mental illness. By my definition they are the same and you cannot have one without the other. And I also easily showed that...

    I know all about Jesus, I went to church for 18 years. I still think he liked to take it from behind.

    See guys. This is the type of person with serious mental health issues. The bible is something that I use to wipe my ass with. It is not the word of god. You have it exactly backwards, and you also need to go read the definitions of subjective and objective. edited

    Proving a negative can be almost impossible because you have to check and verify an infinite number of answers simultaneously. Hey, god is a pink elephant and he is in your backyard right now.. oh, not there anymore? well he was, he just moved before you could see him. Now try to prove me...

    Billy Graham is rich. He has gotten rich by being a good public speaker and using hypnotic methods to convey his message (of giving money to him so he can help people). The world was getting along just fine before him. This guy is a lunatic and claims that God was punishing New Orleans...

    That's nice and all. I'm sure we can all find a few 'good' religious people and say that is proof that religion is good. There are always exceptions to the rule. Fact is that religion has cost humanity greatly in terms of lives (iraq,crusades, etc), lost productivity (going to church and...

    No, perhaps you should engage your brain before you type. I am in fact voicing an opinion, and thus opinions do not need logic or else they would be facts and not opinions. Stating something like 'god exists' or 'jesus really rose from the dead' is a statement that requires proof and is not...

    I see that I have threatened the very foundation of your life. I understand why you are defensive. I'd be upset as well if I began to realize I wasted my life believing in fairy tales. Just because you aren't in an institution doesn't mean you don't have a serious mental health problem. I...

    I never said that lack of religiousosity implied mental health. I think its fair to say that the number of people killed on god's behalf is much more than the number killed by those who didn't believe in god. Religion is a set of stories passed on thru generations and these stories were...

    Deeply religious people have serious mental health problems and further the degredation of mankind.

    Is this pairs trading or arbitrage?

    A strategy like that would be both pairs trading and statistical arbitrage. Pure arbitrige is riskless, statistical arbitrage just means that you are betting some statistic will revert to some mean and is not riskless. You can also create 'synthetic pairs' so that some weighted collection of...

    Why is it that ALL brokers do not understand true latency?

    I think the main issue is that you are speaking in very vague terms without citing explicit sources of latency or firm numbers.

    Why is it that ALL brokers do not understand true latency?

    I'm sorry, but your entire post is ludicrous. Making money is making money no matter how you trade. While I am annoyed that he hasn't posted in stats at all. If I had the clout to 'force' my broker to be faster I certainly would if it would increase my bottom line.

    Why is it that ALL brokers do not understand true latency?

    What do you mean by aggregating? Are they going to collect and only dissiminate it every 1/2 second or so? That pretty much sucks. I understand where they are coming from though.. having real capacity issues. I've heard stories of some players sending hundreds of thousands of orders, canceling...
