    Is my career over?

    statistics tell me that Truth has not completely learned all his lessons yet and that it will be only a matter of time until he is another statistic. Truth, let us know when you have blown out again, will you? And mowery was right - this is a thread to be cherised of how not to do things...

    Trading and Dating

    If you are only thinking of getting a bit more action then I think you are taking an approach with low rewards. Trouble is that what most guys do not realise is that if the girl for one reason or another gets pregnant they'll milk you for all the money they can put their hands on. Just...

    Computer Slowdown

    No prob. Yes, I agree 256 Mb of RAM is not sufficient to run XP, there was a big jump in performance when I initially went to 384Mb, after that perfromance increase tailored of and above 768 it started to drop. I do think that most posters here on ET would benefit from a bit higher memory...

    Computer Slowdown

    I think you mean 256 Mb and not 256 Kb, don't know if there is much left out there that will run under 256 Kb. :D PS. I am not buying into this argument of "memory is cheap". It is not so much the financial cost of memory. Large applications still need to be swapped in and out of memory...

    Mid-East Peace: A Viable Solution

    Right Ivanovich. A lot of these people that like to "please" and "give in to the demands" of these terrorists conveniently forget what happened in Paris with the Muslims. They want their own justice system. Rather than any other immigrant these people are hellbent on establishing their own...

    Anyone have two accounts and do regular hedging?

    OMFG, just stumbled on this thread. Cannot believe the stupidity and warped reasoning. And what is even more amazing is how long it has been going on. Mav74, this thread really proves what Einstein is reputed to have said when he was asked if the universe is finite or infinite: "Well, I do...

    IB IDEALPRO unfair/delayed execution

    WTF are you going on about? The 5 seconds delay purely depends on how you set up your stop execution: If it is based on last trade then that is clearly possible. Or do you think there is a trade every 1/10 of a second? If it is based on last bid / ask then you get screwed when there is...
