when doing squats, you cannot keep your torso perpendicular to the ground because your center of mass would be too far back and you'd immediately fall backwards. you HAVE to have the barbell over your feet, which means you have to learn forward. that is, unless you're squatting 20 lbs. why...

the reply "i lose money" only works to dissuade them if you look unsuccessful. if you have significant assets (house, nice cars), that answer would immediately be followed by, "then how did you afford your home and cars?" instead, when they ask about stocks and trading, just don't give...

people who buy multi-million dollar homes tend to be entrepeneurs and business owners, and in order to preserve their privacy they prefer to pay cash.

i don't know about this, but i know that 2 months ago their clearing firm raised portfolio margin risk points for spx and oex options from (-8%, +6%) to (-12%, +10%).

my ratio is the highest here: 13 actions and 0 executions, for a ratio of inifinity. :D anyway, it appears they count a day order as a cancel if isn't executed because i had a few cancels listed but i didn't actually cancel any orders today

chiang should be fired for refusing the order. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/07/02/minimum-wage-for-californ_n_633446.html "He(chiang) has taken in more than $190,000 in campaign contributions from labor groups representing state employees and other unionized workers so far in his...

he's joining the military not because he wants to, but because he feels he hasn't any other options. he won't survive boot camp. they weed out people like him quickly. maybe you should become a civilian police officer. they generally want people with college degrees but that aren't too...

don't worry, after we suck dry the middle east, canada and mexico, then we'll start using our resources, and once they're gone we'll go nuclear/solar. one day, nuclear and solar likely will be our primary sources of energy -- but perhaps not in my lifetime.

yet another average joe who has an exagerrated view of their own intelligence and job marketability, yet is humbled by the reality they're not as smart or marketable as they thought. first, every fucking person thinks their school is a top 20 school. reality: most of these people are from...

or another way to think of it is, a battery costs $49 with a 24 month warranty. you can buy an optional 12 month warranty extension for $30 or 48 month extension for $70. their marketing department probably tested both and determined the first way was better.

dell has no reason to intentionally make their computers fail. computers become obsolete after a few years because of software and new technologies (eg, wireless networking). planned obsolescence is more relevant for products that would otherwise be useful for decades. examples would be a...

*yawn* this isn't a big change. like someone said they're just adding one day to the life cycle. it doesn't affect trading except perhaps lets you play a major government announcement like GDP, which is released friday morning before the 'old' weeklies begin trading. the problem remains...

i had a c-64 and 800xl. my favorite 8-bit computer in those days was the apple iic. it had a great feeling keyboard. but only schools and rich people could afford them. but my dream computer was the colleco adam. unfortunately they were too expensive so my parents wouldn't buy me one...

stop bragging.. anything with a math co-processor in those days was tha shit

good post, but the hypothetical study you mention would have to control for all variables, not just intelligence & drive, in order to be valid. you'd have to control for everything from learning ability to motivation to ethnicity, heck even your height and weight. in reality such a study is...

i suspect this is partly due to the rush to complete homes in april/may before the homebuyer welfare program expired. home builders probably hired like mad to get the homes finished, and now they don't need those workers anymore because they know demand will soften like kramer on counterfeit...

with all the voluntary mortgage defaults happening now, i would expect more and more property tax liens on residential real estate. if your home is hundreds of thousands underwater,and you know you'll eventually be foreclosed on because you stopped paying the mortgage, then there's no point in...

high level of difficulty does not make something a sport. pool (billiards) and playing violin are difficult; i wouldn't call them sports either. one absolute requirement is some level of athleticism. when an activity has 70 year-olds playing it, like golf, it ain't a sport any more than...

looks like a man to me.. http://www.richmondfed.org/research/economists/bios/athreya_bio.cfm

that website did not list certain schools (perhaps because they couldn't get enough responses?). UC san francisco is not on there but would likely be in the top 10. it is an elite public graduate school that produces mainly just doctors, dentists, pharmacists and nurses. because of the...
