    DayTraders Must Stay Connected!!

    If you are trading at home and both your cable and dsl are coming on the same physical path (ie. your telephone pole) then you are not really redundant. Not trying to nitpick, just my 2 cents (and professional experience). You should really consider having something like a blackberry or telco...

    Railroad Shipping Plunges

    The protectionism is truly frightening, politicians obviously do not read history or must think it will be "different" this time due to their own hubris. Either goods flow across borders, or armies do.

    Brazil economic bubble...burst

    Spanish and Portuguese may look similar when written but when spoken they are very different languages, if you have traveled extensively to S. America I would think that you'd know that. I have heard the same about the Brazilian women from others who have been there, they are not as...

    Fixing the bank crisis is the easy part

    That was an interesting and informative read, thank you. Treasuries look to be in the early stages of rolling over and to me this is really the mother of all bubbles, when this one pops it really is game over.

    High LDL Cholesterol Is Not A Health 'Problem' & Other Facts

    Not to derail the argument here but I am bored and feel like typing. From what I understand the healthiest diet/lifestyle is the Mediterranean one. But it is a lot more than just eating pasta, and it is almost impossible to follow in the modern Western World. Food wise it is nine servings of...

    Best place to build a retirement home.

    Lake Tahoe gets pretty cold in the winter, depending on what side of the mountain range you are on (cali/nevada) or your position in the Carson valley. Maybe something in central florida? I don't know how much 'culture' there is down there, if that kind of thing matters to you.

    How can we have 30yr TBills at <3%

    Isn't the 2.6 million jobs lost (officially, who knows how many are actually out of work) in the US alone pretty deflationary? Or the destruction of 401k's and housing values? I agree the govt is trying its best to re-inflate but IMO there are huge demographic overhangs to contend with and a...

    Is Microsoft giving up on Vista?

    From what I've read about it it seems Windows 7 will be an evolutionary step from Vista, not an abandonment of its concepts. The focus will be on user interface and usability improvements. I think it has a greater chance of success than Vista based solely on my own casual comparison of the two...

    Silver Linings re: 2008

    If you still have your job and don't have a ton of debt this recession is great. Everything is on sale and businesses are rediscovering the art of customer service which was lost during the bubble money years.

    C++ programming for noobs

    I don't know if C++ is really the language to learn on if you are a programming newbie. It has a lot of nit-picky and esoteric (comparatively) syntax that is pretty daunting for someone starting out. I think you would be better off starting in a procedural language and using it to pick up some...

    What is the hardest college major?

    This quote tells me that you have not taken a math course more advanced than basic calculus. In the truly advanced math classes you have to create the theorems fool. Granted it is a different kind of creativity, but it, along with engineering is still creative - you are engineering something...
