I think that the highlighted portion describes one type of event storm and there are other kinds as well. I recall identifying event storms as one issue in the past talking about why the HFT speed race was so dangerous. Ethernet networks can also be susceptible to collisions that can paralyze...

But, professional drivers must have some (MAGIC) secret that helps them predict where the car will go more accurately than amateur drivers. I read one fellow's post on the urinal and he hinted that there are secret ways of being one with the car but he won't tell me exactly how. So my question...

As of today, it appears that there is no upgrade path for Ballmer either! Since IMO companies often hit a local peak when the CEO "chooses" to retire (Encana for example), it will be interesting to see if MSFT can recover from the total market cap damage of his tenure.

“The nitrogen in our DNA, the calcium in our teeth, the iron in our blood, the carbon in our apple pies were made in the interiors of collapsing stars. We are made of starstuff.” ― Carl Sagan, Cosmos “Every one of us is, in the cosmic perspective, precious. If a human...

Strange that you think I called you a storyteller. I don't mean you, I mean the ones you worry about taking over on ET. No, I am not your ex-wife. As an example, I was thinking of others that may hail from near Hershey PA? Is that where the chocolate factory was located?

.... Did Yahoo finance have some kind of editor when you posted - something to keep dishonest story tellers and nonsense out of their site? How did they implement it? Baron could copy their method. Surely they had at least a spelling checker? Since you're idol-ized by millions of daily...

I am not intending to attack you, just to understand what you mean here. IMO, this is a strange comment. Anarchy has a double meaning - chaos or self determination. We build governments (fictional) to fight our fears of something outside us (fictional for the most part). Of course a fiction...

OK. I think this is really really mean of someone. Which ever one of you best traders on ET broke it should apologize to us here and now. Who did it?

Sorry, but you apparently don't have a high enough count to disagree yet. :( LOL

Everything on this planet changes so the site must change with the needs of the users. Following up on surf's suggestions, perhaps the poster with the higher number should buy the site. (Now there is ego at work.) We could have a list of post counts and the first one to 100000 is the wiener...

I have followed ET for over a decade. I use it mainly to get answers to the questions that come up from time to time. It is a research tool and some help to new traders learning. There are some very good traders on the site who are generally helpful. I think social sites need to become much...

That is a very good point P. Perhaps the word designed incorrectly implies a planner. Perhaps the entire history of mankind eventually leads to what we see today. How about a compromise headline: Japanese scientists discover radioactivity leak causes un-natural growth spurts in women...

Yes indeed. Sorry I lost my head for a moment :( How does it go again? We the sheeple .......

The target is 2% in the media. Why 2%? I think that the real target is the approximate growth of population in the world. Also, I think Romney has a lot of company. IMO the media is designed to tear down humans and get crap elected by ignoring or down-playing the real issues. People know more...

Yes, and the irony is (for 10000 years - Daniel Quinn), the sheeple don't want to endure reality either, that is why they farm it out instead of working together and overcoming adversity.

OK. If you guys keep agreeing and having reasoned discussions on ET we will have to have the moderators step in! :) Ed Breen said something in a thread months ago that I didn't understand and I have mulled over for a long time. Now I think he was spot on. He said something like ... the...

Honestly I once caught a news program in that hot bed of activity UTAH! claiming that terrroists were sneaking over the border near lake of the woods and that we needed a secure border to protect us from things that go bump in the night. Sadly, I was the only one laughing, the others were trying...

I did not like your critisism of mooose and Squirrrel http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z83q1NYWIyQ

One of us is certainly exposed here. Et tu Brutus?

For those of pretty low intelligence, here is how you can follow along. We do not discriminate here based on height! If the media identifies a group as a conspiracy - that is bad, stay away! If the media identifies a group as a cartel - that is good, envy them for they are smart businessmen...
