Maybe because it hurts so much to be repeatedly reminded about the number of imbeciles around.

One day you will, and then it might be too late. The freedom you have now, to just buy a computer and do with it whatever you want, is not in the perceived best interest of the companies like M$. They want you locked in and shackled. The measures taken in Vista to establish DRM go far beyond...

Well, when I count in my own neighbourhood is for every remaing Vista is see 3 ppl that migrated back to XP after the delivered system had Vista on it. I also know a lot of ppl that will not buy a system that has only Vista on it. And I know quite a number that are inspecting a Kubuntu Linux...

I think the comparison with the 98->XP migration is unjust. XP did add very essential additions to the OS that 98 didn't have. XP (or actually the 2000 kernel) was the first real OS by M$ that was worth the name and could be compared to real secure OS's like Unix's. 98 was a glorified DOS, XP...

Don't get it either. I can't stand it for more than a few minutes. I noticed similar soundeffects during the election nights on CNN. Everytime the, otherwise reasonable show was interrupted for commercials they left and entered with a horrendous musical (?) sound of about 15 secs. This turned...

You would be able to load that same machine a lot more if it ran on XP (or Linux). Vista does nothing more then XP, except forbid the user on his own machine (with DRM) and add colors, mirrors, bells and whistles that are unneeded by any application and drag the performance. That is the reason...

Just for the record, my IQ is 138 too, probably higher but I had a terrible hangover when I did the test. So your generalizations about CP-ers goes up in flames. Because, if I had to choose I would choose the side of Rat and 5P, for the simple reason that if a government story about a...

An interesting side-by-side. I wondered how McCain could stomach it recently to shake hands with a wimpy coward that used every trick in the book to stay out of a war in which he himself suffered greatly. To me it was a dent in his credibility that he even acknowledged that endorsement. I...

As long as people here are saying it has bottomed it hasn't.

People as dumb as you shouldn't even trade to begin with. The TWS grid is imo a very good solution for fast order-entry. The charts are not there to trade, although they are configurable to a certain degree, which I have no doubt you never even tried. But they are not as good as specific...

Marx? No.

OP is saying that when it goes on like this you won't have to move to Tibet to learn that, it will come in handy here too. In fact, it could well be that in 20 years time, if not earlier, the hollowed out financial systen will follow the industrial powers that the US some time ago, and will be...

I recently got an Cowon Iaudio7 with 8Gb http://www.cowonamerica.com/products/iaudio/7/ I chose it because of excellent sound-quality, ability to play Ogg format and mostly, does NOT depend on some proprietry DRM format and because it behaves like a normal external USB-drive when connected to...

Thanks, another reason to stay short.

Which proves again that he is not really trading. If he was trading for real his first concern, not losing money, would prevent him from making such ignorant comments.

I think there will not be an investigation. Who had the motive, means and opportunity to ravage the country in the first place? Who profits most from the current current high oil prices? Who the hell voted for this idiot?

That is because you only trade on paper. If you had a real trade on you would have lost US$15,000 per YM contract since last october. Having no money left would be a good reason not to go short (or long). If you can't see a good reason to short now, you will never. US economy is not only...

Good one! So we're not wanted there anyhow, only easy cows that can be easliy slaughtered. Anyway, the day the remove Santelli that day CNBC will lose a lot of serious viewers. And, only looking at his posture I would say he has done his time in the pits for real.

Problem is he doesn't understand what 'risk' is. How can a trade that is watched second by second, made a 100 times a day, so with relatively low investment, be more risky than spending all your money on some company that could go broke overnight and then go to sleep for a few days...
