    social security..

    Sounds accurate to me. Or as Vonnegut said: "The two real political parties in America are the Winners and the Losers. The people don't acknowledge this. They claim membership in two imaginary parties, the Republicans and the Democrats, instead. " DS

    esignal's backtesting capability

    frank123, Saw in the September "ACTIVE TRADER" that you can get esignal for "free" if you open a MB Trading account. I don't know much about MB. Fine print: Have to do 50 round trip trades/month to get a $100 credit and you have to pay exchange fees. DS

    Why is Al Gore...

    Ahh-it brings back memories of the all time great, Dan "Potatoe" Quayle: "I was recently on a tour of Latin America, and the only regret I have was that I didn't study Latin harder in school so I could converse with those people." "If we don't succeed, we run the risk of failure." J...

    Insurance Scam

    Vulture, I'm in the process of getting insurance and would like to consider MM. Who did you get it from? Also, anyone using MSPs and do you like them. Who sells them. My broker says to stay away from them because he says they are too much trouble for the insurance company to administer...

    RIAA is after Kazaa users big time now

    An interesting event in "file sharing" (note I agree sharing files violates copyright) is looking at the events surrounding the release of Radiohead's new Album, "Hail to the Thief" . Copies of the album were "leaked", some think deliberately to hype sales, to the 'Net about a month before...

    Stock/Market Selection

    Agree with Banker, I've tried about all the free screeners and keep coming back to Multex. You'll have a few quirks to learn but once you do, it becomes surprisingly powerful and you can create some custom indicators also. DS

    RIAA is after Kazaa users big time now

    Arch-As I understand it, if a CD has a copy proctection scheme and you circumvent it, it is illegal under DMCA even if your use of the copies made by circumventing would be considered "fair use." HR107 takes up and will attemp to correct this. In summary , HR107 says: b) FAIR USE...

    RIAA is after Kazaa users big time now

    If what you are saying is that most of what is pushed by big music is crap, I agree, but if it makes them money that's OK by me. What is bad IMO, is that it is very difficult to find new and original music if file sharing is stopped by RIAA without a reasonable alternate. Current radio is so...

    RIAA is after Kazaa users big time now

    I went to a Comedy Club last night and the group I was with included 6 lawyers. There was a discussion about DMCA and how ridiculous it is and how it will help enrich lawyers too (usually poor laws=wealthy lawyers.) One of them mentioned that an interpertation of DMCA would make it illegal...

    Stock/Market Selection

    My trading consists of using fairly simple entries/exits and finding stocks to trade. The real trick is finding the right stocks. I use some high level statistical methods to do that part. Works very well for me. DS

    high/low filter in easylanguage

    Travis, A good idea for this type of question is to post on tradestationworld.com where a number of Easylanguage experts give prompt answers to this type of question. I'll give you an option as I understand your request: {create an entry conditional statement that permits a trade if the...

    RIAA is after Kazaa users big time now

    Arch, I agree with you that theft or improper use of copyright items is illegal, improper, or pick another adjective to describe what millions of people are doing on a daily basis. IMO, there are 2 key points to the RIAA/Big Music issue: 1. As previously stated, the RIAA is taking a...

    RIAA is after Kazaa users big time now

    aphe, Late last year, I was introduced to a group, WILCO, via file sharing. I found them somewhat by accident. But, I listened to some of their music and loved it. I then contacted one of my sons who is an editor at a entertainment magazine and asked him what he thought of the group...

    RIAA is after Kazaa users big time now

    Here is an interesting essay from an artist (link at end) on why the RIAA's approach to new technology is wrong again (they fought reel to reel tapes for those of us who can remember back when that was the latest and greatest technology). One quick quote from it: "The NARAS[run the...

    RIAA is after Kazaa users big time now

    3.7 million users online at 840 am cst . Usually a little over 4 million so it looks like the warnings had some impact. My predictions: 1. Lots of lawyers will make $$; 2. CD sales sink further; 3. New anonymous and encrypted p2p networks will arise. Some already in the works...
