    Mexico's Poor Forgo Goods as Income From U.S. Drops

    What, if anything, does this mean with regards to the USD/MXN relationship? Is this trend a significant part of the peso's gains or has is it been more commodity (oil) related? The trend has continued despite oil's correction; I guess I'm just looking for some insight into how the complex...

    We Should Be Using Foreign Oil

    I've thought this too, if the world is willing to trade us an invaluable resource for a bunch of IOU's I say do it. It will be funny when the shieks have no more oil and all they have to show for it are fast cars and other baubles.

    The white race

    Celts were at their largest geographical distribution ~300BC, covering most of western and central Europe and the Iberian, though they were never an empire in the Roman sense of the word. More like separate kingdoms/tribes linked by common language elements and culture. As to comparisons...

    Dedicated Internet connection for Esignal and broker platform, ISDN for the rest?

    I assume you are talking about having two seperate connections? If so, it would be pretty simple to do with policy based routing or static routes but you would need a real router like a cisco. If it's two internet connections versus one being private like a leased line you'd probably need an...

    Maybe try Java 5_14. Java 6 seemed to cause my TWS a lot of problems.

    Why do we need foreign oil?

    Something tells me that those oil platforms might suffer some unforseen structural support problems, call it intuition I guess.

    Big Brown Goes Down the Toilet

    Hey I'm no handicapper I went to the track on a whim when a friend called me and told me he was going. I didn't think Big Brown would win, mainly because I thought the field was weak in the derby and preakness and the belmont has a way of seperating the wheat from the chaff but I got lucky on...

    Big Brown Goes Down the Toilet

    It was my best trade of Saturday, $2 exacta box 4-6 for a $659 payout. :cool: :cool: :cool: Thank you Big Brown! Without all the dumb money on you this wouldn't have paid nearly as well.

    Cops in FL now carry assault rifles...

    The cops in DC have AR's now too, and I think some of them are barely qualified to drive a car let alone handle a rifle.

    I do the same thing in Maryland, limes are 7 for $1 at the latino market vs 50 cents a piece at Safeway. The produce is usually fresher too.

    Why the rich get the tax breaks and the middle class get tax hikes

    I've modified your little story a bit: ...until one day, the owner threw them a curve. 'I've borrowed some money from my friends in Chinatown and have used it to outsource my beer buying operation to a contractor who just happened to have helped me get this bartending job. I'll be able to...
