    microsoft earnings disaster

    Sorry to dig this up from way earlier in the thread but I'd like to get others opinion on Oracle's plans for Sun and their products. First of all, having a good deal of experience with both Oracle and Sun I have to say I completely disagree with Solaris on the desktop ever gaining any kind of...

    911 - We Will Never Forget

    Are you all daft? Pearl Harbor is in Hawaii, which is the United States. In terms of loss of life and sheer audacity they are pretty similar, but 9/11 is different in that it was such a huge attack on civilians. RIP to my neighbor, who was on flight 77 when it hit the pentagon, and all...

    Critical bug infests newer versions of Microsoft Windows

    They must mean SMB2 but that is still poor reporting/editing/fact checking.

    What's this crap about Obama talking to school kids across the nation Sept. 8th?

    Aren't their teachers government employees? Aren't they in a government facility sitting at a goverment owned desk? :confused: :confused: :confused:

    QuoteTracker---Prices to double.

    If you go from the monthly subscription to the new yearly it is $3 more a month, 10 cents a day, well worth it in my opinion. Since my next billing date was before the increase I locked in a year for $60, an incredible value. Working in software I can attest that an enormous amount of work...

    Geitner: Auditing the Fed is a “line that we don’t want to cross”

    Now you're getting somewhere - social engineering, central planning, kickbacks to favored businesses and friends, punishing those who don't 'play ball', you know, real statesmanship.

    how did people get it in their heads that long housing is an investment

    Alleged owners love that feeling of false security. It's secure until you stop paying your property tax or some well connected developer gets eminent domain to build his shopping center. Then you find out who the real owner is, hint = it's not you. The government loves to promote home...

    QuoteTracker---Prices to double.

    Thanks for the response, I don't mind opening a small account at TD to get quotetracker I think it is worth it I just can't seem to find any clear communications from either QT or TD about the registration/upgrade process and don't want to spend a bunch of time replicating the settings I've...

    QuoteTracker---Prices to double.

    Has anyone seen any more details on this? What concerns me is that the next step seems to me to be to phase out support for data feeds besides TD Ameritrade's. Do they have futures and forex data? Since you have to re-install the product (I believe) to get the "premium" version are you able...

    People leave groceries at the check out

    I love the discounts I hope this recession never ends. I also love the return of actual customer service, salespeople who will go out of their way to make a sale.

    The Movie Thread

    Saw D-9 today, one of the most visually impressive films I've ever seen. Very intriguing concept too, if a bit of a patchwork of previous ideas. It's like pieces of the Fly, Blackhawk Down, Alien Nation, and Independence Day.

    maybe some of the more advanced option traders can correct me but doesn't the smile generally price in this 'strategy', ie your small wins are actually smaller than you think?

    Blue States Subsidising Welfare loving Red States

    A couple of things about this, first of all, I've said it before and I'll say it again, I really fail to see the point of this argument. If every state got back exactly what it put in (which would never happen in reality as some would be lost to skim I mean administrative costs), then what...

    High Speed Trading Unfair To Retail Traders

    These pricks always want you to think that they make money because they deserve it and are so much smarter than everyone else. Truth is, and always has been, that they are no different than anyone else without all their built in advantages and insider information (order flow, no commission...

    The Wicked Hate the Word of God

    That wasn't very Christian of you to call me an idiot. As to your point, yes I do think it is worth a read, if only because so many others do and it gives me insights into their motivations and I have probably read more of it than some so-called "religious" people. That's how I make an...

    The Wicked Hate the Word of God

    You mean the word of god as spoken through his son (supposedly) in aramaic, written down 50 to 100 years later in greek, cherry picked in the council of nicea, translated to old english, translated to modern english, then interpreted by this jackass on the street? You sure nothing got lost in...
