IQ Tests..... One of the most misunderstood and meaningless tests of all. My first wife administered them. From what she explained to me is that a test result is hardly worth much other than to put you in a category. I forget the definitions, but Idiot, Imbecile, Moron, and Genius are...

Well, what does this mean? It is ok for Max to interrogate only me? As for looking for 4 hours for water.....hell, I have done it myself right in luxurious Palm Beach County. Go to a municipal Golf course on a Saturday in the height of the season, and the few water cooloers are empty, the...

Wow..there's a jump! Fruity, I think maybe SPC is YOU! (Unless you are FPC, or even both, which may be highly likely). SPC said he wanted to "abuse" Dan and Thunderbolt and MrMarket, etc. I do the same with my own handle. (lovingly with Dan), but think what you will. Peace, :)rs7

PS: As Gordon Gekko would tell us...."a fool and his money" etc. :)

Maybe people just pay too much on Ebay. Must be a lot of impulse buyers. My brother told me he recently sold a radar detector that listed for about $400 when it was new several years ago. I don't know what he paid, but I am sure it wasn't list. He got $360 for it on Ebay.... along with a "thank...

Hmmm. Gets more and more confusing. This is not the first contradiction I have come across in the Toshiba documentation. Hard to tell if they used to have an IR port or not. Looks like they did. As for the printer, the easy solution is of course just to put whatever I need to print on a...

Thanks Max. I got confused enough to call toshiba. I gave the url to the support guy. He was confused too. So he took me to the following...

Yeah, I forgot to mention all the time on ET. Much of which is at my office when things are slow. Different machine, different environment, different every thing. What is a "no brainer" for you is not necessarily so for me. I don't know if I have an IrDa port. As far as I know, I do not. I...

Yup, and a port for a monitor too. The reason I wanted the laptop was a space issue. Since I primarily use my home computer for online banking and email, I find it much nicer to have this thing out of the way and easily accessible and moveable. So if I want to pay my bills at the kitchen table...

Well, as I said, I ended up with the P4 toshiba. After a bit of a struggle I have it humming along very nicely. And I am getting more impressed with xp by the day. No fatal error blue screens, no hang ups, none of the low resources and other annoying things I suffered through with my P3 desktop...

I finally found out the best way to participate in these threads is to just jump in and look at stuff out of context. This bank thing is pretty funny. New York City probably has virtually the same list of banks (except JPM/Chase really is a NY bank, as is GS (I think). (BTW, I had a safe...

Huh? Fine perspectives, but "an Iraqi website"?

Size? Just a number. As an employee, I traded reportable limit size in OEX all the time. Just another day at the office. As a prop. trader, it is far more stressful for me to trade 5k shares of MSFT or IBM and such. Guys trade to add liquidity for the obscure ECN's, and a million shares...

Gordo.........I KNOW ART when I see it:) And what is important in life!!!!! :)

I don't know about Broadway....do they still exist? But Andover was a done deal. I have no explanations for any of it. I only know that my friend did go to Andover and is now working for shony cause shony bought them out. I don't know much about any of these other firms. Is Broadway the...

The deal with Andover was consummated a while ago. I have a buddy that left Shony almost a year ago so he could have more trading freedom. (bullets, contra trading overnight, no share size limit with his buying power, etc.) and now he is back working under Schonfeld. He is not thrilled...

As usual, a few good "wows" in tonights episode. Not the best of them, but the bar is raised pretty high. I guess sometimes they need to write in stuff to set up for future action. However the Victioria's Secret commercial at the halfway point made up for any lack of anything in the show...

Interestingly, under the Shah, Iran and Israel were actually allies. Not that those days matter much now. But somehow the people of Iran seemed to have nothing (or not much) against Israel. On the other hand, Iran had a substantial Jewish population then (they all moved to Long Island since)...

Well I called Toshiba for the 5th or so time in the past 4 days. The guy I spoke with today suggested re-formatting the whole hard drive. Since I had very little in the way of files to lose on this machine, I gave it a shot. I emailed a few files to my son so I could get them back (forgot my...

I really did not want to get involved in this thread. But I am stuck not trading, (home sick), and am bored enough to say just this: REGRESSIVE TAXES are a tax on the POOR! VAT fits in perfectly with the reduction in income taxes for the top 1%. This is NOT a Dem/Rep. issue. It is a...
