    The death of Microsoft

    And in the end, what is your conclusion ? My point is the following : - M$ is a limited 'OS' driving people to infantilism (who would write on a physical file 'my file' ???) and not a single company should risk developing their systems on such a piece of closed source crap (ask all the...

    The death of Microsoft

    It sounds like you have never heard of the monopolistic position of Microsoft.... Once you take that into account, all you just said is a non-sense... People don't really have a choice. Let me take an example : how many job ads have you read were it was written : "knowledge of openoffice...

    The death of Microsoft

    That's is own opinion. The first computer my mum used was a linux box. She's unable to use a windows machine. As far as I can remember, in 95, most people hadn't a clue how to use a windows computer and were spending a lot of time trying to get things together. It's just that now they are...

    The death of Microsoft

    I'm more interested in what people are saying day after day when file servers aren't working.... On my side, I prefered to pocket the 60000$ bonus out of the 120000$ my ex-company (12 people) spared using linux rather than M$ products...thanks to me.... and this was in september 2000... But I...

    Backtesting vs. Realtime results

    My personal experience is the following : there is no answer to your question, sorry. It really depends. I've seen systems with a higher return in live trading than in backtested trading and the contrary too. I would take 75% as a low. Under this, your system might be in trouble. But as I...

    Oh no, I'm a complete atheist and as far as I can go back in my family history, it's full of catholics. Your comment is a RACIST comment and this is something I won't let happen.

    High frequency correlation, volatility, stat arb, moving skewness, kurtosis

    Have you computed the 95% (or whatever) uncertainty on the correlation ? It would be interesting and enlightning to see it on such a plot I think. Let me encourage your to go further on the market depth data. It's full of very interesting features and a lot has still to be found in there ...
