This has been my experience in C# as well.

No, those jobs would disappear or leave. The reason Chinese laborer's get paid so little is because the typical Chinese laborer adds so little value. If what you produce is only worth a buck a day, paying you 3 bucks a day, or paying you 500 bucks a day isn't going to help the economy. By...

After taxes, a 6000 dollar a month house payment, and eating out regularly at all of those expensive restaurants he mentions that he used to eat out at....there wouldn't have ever been much left of that 200k. If you only make 200k a year you should be spending a LOT less than 200k. This guy...

Uh...isn't the definition of a neo-con basically a socially liberal republican who's for strong self-defense?

It’s my understanding that it is a legal issue. I'm no lawyer but as I understand it, it's something like this. Basically, Google makes the claim that they can't possibly prevent all copyrighted material from being placed on YouTube, and that Google is not responsible for enforcing that all...

It's the same old crap. Cut the government services that are most visible to middle-class voters in hopes that they will change their preference from lower taxes to higher taxes. The state parks are a small dent in the budget but the cuts will get lots of newspaper headlines. Next will come...

Isn't it interesting how these people think. A VAT is not a "new source of income". The source of income is always the US citizens' productive labor. A new tax doesn't create a new source. It's just a different way of squeezing juice out of the same fruit.

I think I remember reading that the creator's of Team America were actually briefed by the CIA that there was intelligence suggesting that Kim Jong Ill had indeed looked into having them assassinated.

Remember how a couple of years ago, Walmart tried to build super-centers (the giant supermarket that sell super-cheap groceries) in various big city inner-city neighborhoods....and how Democratic and Union activists blocked this from happening? Crap like that is a big part of why the poor have...

http://meganmcardle.theatlantic.com/archives/2009/05/the_road_to_bankruptcy.php The article in The Atlantic I linked above has a few material details that the guy in the NYTimes article left out. For example, this is the wife's 3rd bankruptcy. I don't feel sorry for this guy even a little...

I posted a VBA solution to this exact problem in this thread: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=2406284#post2406284

What I read into the story is what others have noticed. This isn't so much an article about the economy or the Chrysler bankruptcy...its a warning about buying franchises. Stories like this where the franchisee gets completely screwed are common.

Jem, do you think the failure of the recent ballot initiatives will have any effect on the San Diego housing market? I'm thinking that a lot of the houses in the 500k to 700k range are owned by public employees and that many of these people are going to get laid off in the next few months. Do...

I don't know how it is going to be with the "new" prosper. But in the past, default rates were really really bad. They were much worse than would be predicted by the person's credit score for all credit scores.

Do you know if the quotes on google finance are real-time or are they delayed quotes?

Here is code that should do what you need. Sub Start_Timer() Application.OnTime Now + TimeValue("00:00:30"), "Refresh_Query" End Sub Sub Refresh_Query() Sheets("Sheet1").Activate Range("a1").Select Selection.QueryTable.Refresh BackgroundQuery:=True ' cell...

Yesterday, after I read on Drudge that most of the people who died in Mexico were 25 to 40 something, I immediately drove down to my local hardware store (here in San Diego) and cleaned the shelves out of their cheap face-masks. Sure, I'll probably never need them....at least not until next...

When you apply for food stamp benefits, the government calculates how much they think you should be able to afford to spend on food based on your income, and then they give you food-stamps to make up the difference between how much money they think you can afford to spend on food and how much...

What percentage of the max heart rate should you be targetting for the high-intensity and low-intensity portions of the training? How long should each interval last and how many intervals of high-intensity/low-intensity total should one do in each work-out? Also, how many many interval...
