    Is anybody going to Upgrade to Longhorn windows

    Google is most likely not going to release anything that depnds upon $soft OS or frameworks. In their core space, $soft is their competitor and thus they probably are not going to promote anything that supports them. They will support things that allow them to write software that can run on...

    A study in chaos

    You can find all types of patterns that will lead you to believe that you are seeing useful: what you are seeeing is universality: many systems have similar behaviour. This really wont help you though much with trading unless you are going to construct an automated system and in this case the...

    Is anybody going to Upgrade to Longhorn windows

    Google doesn't need to write an OS ... they already use open source Linux. They might write a specialized search system and give or charge for a specialized search engine. Googles success thus far is not because of Open Source: they used it because it works very well and greatly reduced their...

    Is anybody going to Upgrade to Longhorn windows

    .. and of course all of this is in violation of the license agreements ... the MSDN subscriptions are for developing software within your own company, not giving away licenses to unrelated, non-employees. The MSDN subscriptions are expensive and not as useful and flexible as they once were: I...

    NYT Article: In the Long Run, Sleep at Home and Invest in the Stock Market

    RE investments have unique tax implications. I definitely would never remove it from my investment portfolio. A good quote to remember - which in Southern California anyway is still very true but may not be over the next 5-10 years - was from Bob Hope. He often said that he made more money...

    Katrina a 5, Oil at?

    We are going to have to wait and see ... NO has always had this problem with flooding, and even if on the ground winds are 120 - 130 mph there will be a lot of damage .... NO may not be entirely leveled but the damage from wind and flooding will still be severe ... a huge problem for the city...

    Moral support and confirmation needed about starting trading for a living

    Three years net negative is a long time to not be seeing net positive ... but, like you said this might be because you simply traded too much size initially.... The biggest problem that new traders have is not adjusting their position size - basically for the first year you just trade very...

    Katrina a 5, Oil at?

    The last NWS hurrican warning statement I read said "Evacuate the warning area. Now!" I watched the various hurricanes over my lifetime and this is the first one I've ever seen with a "Now!" from the NWS. Frankly this is one storm that scares me. Expect a major disaster for New Orleans...

    Katrina a 5, Oil at?

    My high target for oil sits right around 75 and this is based upon a little model that I have maintained for a long time on the demand structure of petroleum. But hey, who am I - nobody so take my prediction as what it is ... More importantly, a category 5 hurricane making a direct hit upon...

    Trading for a Low-Paying Living

    OK then you use him.... maybe he can collect your statistics and use them to write a book or open a website, or god knows what .... Once a CPA is disclosing customer information of any type in public they have lost the trust of most of their potential customers....

    Using VB.NET with API example

    Hmmm .. I wonder why there were no other posters providing the example of how simple this is in VB ...... I wonder if they actually have ever even used the environment.... Anyway this is a nice posting and illustrates how easy it is to get something up and running with VB... By the way...

    New linux based OS

    Informally around PARC the terminology "window" was sometimes used ... I dont believe they trademarked this term: Xerox bascically shut down PARC when they decide that they wanted more research focued on copiers .... otherd recognized the opportunity where senior Xerox management did not .....

    New linux based OS

    Even today the vaulted Windows system installers still end up with occasional conflicts. Portage is a very nice management system - Redhats RPM is less so .... but they all work.

    New linux based OS

    Or was that Palo Alto Research center ? PARC. Actually Zerox came up with it first - hilariously - and Sun, IBM, Apple, and Microsoft all decided to use the term ...... Get your facts straight: Moden GUI interfaces started way back in the '70s ....

    New linux based OS

    I think there was a time - like when I was training new windows users back in 1993 - that the concept of a GUI was new for a lot of corporate people. Today, its old news and nearly everyone is comfortable with multiple GUI interfaces and I would venture to say that for nearly 90% or more of...
