    Bushism

    Bush took office during the best economy this country has ever seen. The Nasdaq bubble burst had and has nothing at all to do with the continually degrading quality of life for Americans since he has been in office. He has continually failed at finance. He should be on trial for war...

    Bushism

    Ron Paul, former independent, is presently Republican. It's just not logical that he would be Obama's running mate, but it would be very interesting. As to who I will vote for, I am undecided. It won't be McCain as I see that as a continuation of the Bush dynasty. I can't see a republican...

    My Streaming quotes/watchlist freezes?

    When I built my system I had a similar experience. It turned out to be a memory timing issue. OCZ worked with me to fix it. They're great.

    How do I backup my emails?

    In Outlook I use File --> Import/ Export to move contacts and e-mail from one system to another. Works very well. I choose the Windows CSV (comma separated values) format to get it to export to Excel. Works very well.

    Poker Question - What are the odds?

    Think of it this way... the cards are numbered 1 through 13 and there are no suits (hearts, spades, etc.) After the first card is dealt and we are looking for the next unique card, there are 4x12 + 3x1 cards left. We are looking for a card from the 4x12 but the 3x1 must be considered as...

    interpretation of FNM/FRE news

    If Hank Paulson is involved, you may rest assured that what will happen will be best for GS and the rest of Wall Street to the detriment of the American taxpayer and the US Dollar.

    Poker Question - What are the odds?

    For the first card to be unique (when there are no other cards having been dealt) the probability is 1:1=1. We can leave this part of the equation out (anything times 1=1). For the second card to be unique relative to the first card, the probability is [(12/13)(51/52)]= 0.905325444 (about a...

    Poker Question - What are the odds?

    The formulas on that page show how to calculate probability, which is what the equation is, a probability. Here's the setup: Suit is moot (it does not matter whether they're spades, hearts, etc.). There are 13 different numbers in the deck each occurring 4 times (= 52 cards). Two cards...

    OptionsXpress vs. thinkorswim

    I don't know what broker you are speaking of when you say they told you "for each option series they've chosen a specific exchange to route to, and the rep told me that they do not guarantee that the customer will get the best price." but that sure sounds funny to me. In 1999 I had an account...
