not a great language, I don't think I will. Please find better arguments

It might be an even dumber question, but why not immediat\ely?

Disagree respectfully You are talking about compiled Python, I assume. This could be possible, but I find it hard to believe, at least in the majority of the cases. I couldn't find any benchmark, though. And what does "almost as fast" mean? 2%? 5? 10? I can imagine that Python does more...

There is no wat Python can have performance similar to C/C++, specially the interpreted one. Just to have some examples: http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/ I don't know about compiled Python, but I'm not very confident it can achieve a stellar performance Also, the only cases when a...

I like this post for newbies :) I have to say it makes sense. The entire thread looks actually interesting I have a question. I started paper trading to learn a bit more how markets work, and I like to spend some (not much, having a job) time every day looking at what I would like to trade...

Yeah, well, I'm afraid he might be disappointed, although things are settling now. How is it that Brazilians always see their team winning? :) I'm sorry, I would remove Germany. They play at home, but they have a very bad team. Instead, I would put France, Holland, and (sorry) Argentina.

Italy hasn't been doing very well lately. Lot of pressure because of the ongoing investigations. Many people want the manager to resign.

interesting. To me game theory means something more complex: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Game_theory Have you seen "A Beautiful Mind"? John Nash won a Nobel Prize for his work on game theory. Surprisingly, he won a Nobel in economics, but he is a mathematician

Oh, and I was thinking you made a mistake while posting. How stupid :) I would be glad to answer you, even because that would mean I know something about game theory :) Instead, all I know is a couple of examples I read on the internet, like the one of the two guys arrested, and then each...

Thunderdog, nononsense, it seems there has been a bit of misunderstanding. Sorry about that. Thunderdog, I wouldn't refer to probability theory as advanded maths either, but I would refer to statistics as advanced maths, specially when it's coupled to differential equations. This leads, as...

Are you complimenting with yourself?

But that's what I meant, isn't it? Look at the past, understand it, assume consistency, then you can predict the future. When I said "the point is not to predict the future" I meant "it's not a kind of magic". There is a logical process behind it that is not magic at all, and it takes its...

I think two points are important here. 1) the point is not to predict the future, but rather to know the past. You don't have to predict the human behavior, but to understand how the human behavior has been, and how it reacts to specific circumstances. 2) the human behavior of one person...

And exactly because of the many spammers it's understable that people ask for a prove. Cheetos has been asked a few times, never reacting. I would say it's quite normal that people start not to believing him. Cheetos, you proved what you did, good work. Don't take it personally. I'll contact...

Impressive. Is it true? :) But, wouldn't you say that, even in the very short term, stocks are more likely to go down in a bear market? Just curious

Just a few tips. I assume the Intel Pro/100 is your onboard ethernet controller. There should be no need to uninstall it (in the worst case you can disable the connection from the control panel), but if you want to uninstall it then you can also disable the controller in the bios. as to...

shaker, let's look at it from another point of view: lots of people, like me, would like to have the same problem as you. Come on, don't talk like that. You are in a good position. Personally, I wouldn't leave the job, but I think any decision in this case is respectable, and you dont't have to...

I know, 63 people are talking about their profit in the past 4 months, that's not really a lot of information. Still, nice to see someone is making money. Better to think about making 20 percent in four months than losing 100% in 2. Don't break my dreams :)

I don't know the others, but as a beginner I'm curious to see what realistically is possible to achieve, maybe even consistently. That doesn't mean that I will do it, but it's nice to see that at least it's possible.

You don't really give a lot of information, but let's have a look. I guess this is the one with 800 MHz front side bus, and not an older model. Xeon processors are usually for servers, and they are not very used. As far as I know the advantage of the Xeon processor is that can be used in...
