Many of us started experiencing this about 2 weeks ago, which is presumably related to the Sasser virus. There are some ET threads on the topic with suggested fixes. However, I've yet to see anyone definitively say they fixed it via a specific method. I'm still hopeful that someone will soon...

You can find the pictures here: http://www.geocities.com/candletrader2003 But I have to warn you. They're extremely frightening and not easy to look at. He and his ultra dork buddies remind me of the psycho Columbine geeks. No wonder the feds are after him.

It's tough to come up with an all-time greatest achievement. But here are a few individual and team achievements that immediately come to mind: (1) Joe D's 56-game hitting streak. (2) Secretariat's Belmont domination. (3) Ali's defeat of the seemingly invincible Foreman. (4) The Miracle on...

Phil Jackson's Bulls never would have let that happen. He must've grown soft with the rest of his overpaid crybabies. Actually, last I heard, Rodman was playing in some semi-pro league. The Knicks were rumored to have had an interest in him. However, I believe it waned after they saw...

Umm, okay. If you say so. Anyway, Happy Birthday, you perverted old fart. As far as my age, I'm equidistant between Mytwo and you, you crusty old bastard.

Dude, you're old enough to be her dad. That's creepy.

Perhaps. But that's only cause you're all pussies (except the stalwart Brits, of course). And kindly write all future posts in German, otherwise known as the languageyoupussieswouldbespeakingtodayhadthegreatusanotsavedyourlillyliveredasses. Thanks in advance. . . . pussy.

You're a good kid. I got your back, buddy.

The Lakers haven't been the same ever since Norm Nixon married Debbie Allen. While the Spurs have to be considered the favorites to repeat, I wouldn't count out Larry Legend's Pacers. Very solid.

Rat, I can't find the post. Did he delete the asinine thread of his own volition or was he forced to? Never mind. It doesn't matter. While the exact quote escapes me, the basic gist was that, while we know him not to be an actual threat (or at least believe him not to be one), his suggestion...

All true. . . AND WE'RE STILL IN FIRST PLACE. :eek: Seriously, the hitting will come (though I think Bernie's on his last legs). I'm much more concerned about the starting rotation. No lefty starters in Yankee Stadium? Bad idea. They never should've let Petitte go. But I'm sure George will...

Chicago has baseball teams? Sorry, I'm from NYC and we never heard such a thing around here. Go figure.

Yeah, that is sad and sorry I missed them. Definitely count me in for the next go 'round. In fact, now that the Yanks are reverting to form, we can start a new baseball discussion right now. Or we can talk NBA playoffs and the prospects for the best Minnesota team since the George Mikan-led...

Kentucky Derby? The Masters? Formula One? Sorry, but those aren't considered sports in my neck of the woods. Hobbies maybe, but sports no. If you want to talk real sports -- football, baseball, hoops -- I'm game. But if you'd prefer to discuss the other stuff, you'd probably have better luck...

Sounds like a good one, Mav. The next one on my list, which I just picked up yesterday, will be Chernow's new biography of Alexander Hamilton, the greatest president we never had.

Wow, I had no idea. Is it really true that ART not long ago espoused the very ideology that he has mocked and criticized so relentlessly the past year? I wonder what could cause such an extreme about face. Did something in his psyche snap? Was it the result of a traumatic episode (perhaps...

It's amazing how quickly threads seem to devolve into the lewd and lascivious these days. And this one did it with nary a LongShot in sight. Impressive.

Pabst, I have to agree with you on this one (except for your assessment of the largely humorless ART as funny). While I found ART to be confused and contentious, I never found him in the least bit offensive. Ridiculous perhaps, but offensive no. I think those of us who defended Maverick's...

Angus, the graph doesn't look quite right to me. With virtually any ATM backspread done in a 1X2 or better ratio that I've ever looked at, the max loss would be minimal on any one day move (assuming there's more than a few days to expiry). The only thing that would alter that would be a very...

How about a 15/10 backspread? I'm sure that could've been done in at least a 1X2 ratio, and perhaps 1X3, while maintaining a credit. If the downside break-even would've been 7.50 or higher, the trade would've been successful according to Mav's thesis -- that the stock would either double or be...
