    So many cookies

    Baron, I agree with you that in most cases the use of cookies is honest and necessary. I was just shocked at the sheer number of cookies trying to get on my PC from sites I wasn't even visiting. For example, when I changed my cookie setting to "prompt" and went to the "Hot Girls of...

    VBA vs. C++

    The difference is that he seemed to be inferring that one could create apps like calculator and notepad using VB without having to distribute anything other than the .exe -- i.e. the supporting files are already within the operating system. When I think of a standalone .exe, I think of an app...

    VBA vs. C++

    This is misleading as the VB runtime is still required, despite the supposed stand-alone .exe

    The Sopranos

    That was the one where Meadow asked him flat out if he was in the mafia. The look he gave her was priceless.

    VBA vs. C++

    The biggest benefit of one over the other is the learning curve. C++ is not a good language with which to learn programming. Even if you are good with programming, C++ is not easy when using it to program under Windows. On the other hand, VBA allows some very bad programming habits. but if...

    So many cookies

    Try this setting to see just how many cookies are being placed on your computer by nearly every site you visit. I was astonished: In Internet Explorer (not sure of the setting in Netscape) go to Tools...Internet Options...Privacy. Then click the Advanced button and make it prompt for...

    The Sopranos

    I'd think any Sopranos twisted character poll would be remiss if it didn't mention Richie Apriel. Do you remember Tony's line to Beenso when he was in traction after getting run down by Richie? He goes: "hey, can you get BBC with that thing?"

    The Sopranos

    My favorite Sopranos episodes from each season were: Season 1 when Tony has the flashbacks to his childhood Season 2 when the guy who played the cop in Terminator 2 had the gambling problem Season 3 the one episode that was so loaded up with Ralphie killing the stripper, and Bobby Bakala's...

    Someone- please help me understand

    To clarify -- I do not work for that firm nor do I have any stake other than making sure the posts in Retail Firms stay within relatively civil boundries.

    Someone- please help me understand

    I judged your post to have no other purpose than to incite people. So yes, I deleted it. Take care, Rich

    Sell and Exchange Forum?

    i have no interest in pirating anything. if i need something, i buy it. this goes for music, software, movies, or anything. none of his/her books appeal to me for a swap. but you are right in general.

    Sell and Exchange Forum?

    I have both of those (the second edition of Nison's book -- the big yellow one -- along with trading in the zone) I'll send them to you and you can send me those miller videos. Just temporarily, though, right?

    Do you feel bad? Should you?

    My feeling is that anyone trading should not be doing so with the rent money or required living money. They should be using discretionary income. The person who is trading with everything on the line is no different to me than the person who goes to a casino with everything on the line...

    trading site

    I'd be lying if I said the same thought hadn't crossed my mind. With everything I said above, I still can't completely rule out letting others use my software at some point. Good luck to you.

    trading site

    I write software as well and many have asked me if I plan on selling it. My thought is that if it is that good at finding patterns then why not just trade using the software to make up for the $$$ you would sell it for to people and, at the same time, not have to worry about major headaches...

    Trades at 4:00pm and 4:01pm

    What generally happens to the trades that occur at 4:00 and 4:01 with regard to which intraday bar they're placed in? Is accepted practice to create a new bar or bucket them into the bar ending at 3:59pm? A tiny one or two minute bar including only 4:00 and 4:01 tacked onto the end of a 20min...

    I think it's pretty good that your senator forwarded your message along. I hope you voted for him/her last Tuesday!

    Sell and Exchange Forum?

    I have the Dave Landry swing trading videotape, the Tony Oz trading seminar videotape, and the Tony Oz video-CD training course (his newest thing) in non-book media. Are we talking permanent swaps or temporary loaning here? If temp, I'd be willing to do this with someone.

    spreadsheet newbie

    A small correction -- you will need an = before SUM in order for it to recognize it as a formula instead of a label. so, =SUM(D1: D4)
