    Liberal media refuses to show Saddam torture videos

    Just hijacked some further links from another thread ... (operation northwoods). Is this stuff for real ? Or is it something along the lines of National Enquirer ? (some of the first links are missing the NSAEBB directory) http://www.gwu.edu/~nsarchiv/news/...

    Liberal media refuses to show Saddam torture videos

    You are so right. When Saddam was doing it to his own people, that certainly would balance the fact that US soldiers were doing in a much nicer and (sometimes anally) probing way ... ? Showing some history of torture, say 17th century wise, and equipment used throughout history would set this...

    Bloomberg on Cable

    Yes, you can watch freely streamed US, UK, etc. Bloomberg on the Internet. There is a 1-2 minute delay with regards to the one pushed via satellite. There simply is no one close when it comes to interesting content. A bit annoying with short segments at times - but excellent for staying on...

    Trading in Brazil?

    Cuba is the right place for US citizens who want to break the law and become criminals. The US prohibits it's citizens from going there - so that's it (as a US citizen) unless you consider yourself a wannabe criminal. :) I went there in the mid 90's and it was great. The food was...

    Trading in Brazil?

    I first came to Brazil in 1999 - and have been here most of the time since. I think I have an ok fundament for my opinions. Here's more: the biggest problem in Brazil are all the ignorant and strongly uneducated people moving from the countrysides into the big cities to try to get rich in a...

    Trading in Brazil?

    Curitiba is the only "modern city" in Brazil with really good infrastructure. Rio is amongst the 3 most dangerous crime-ridden cities in the world - possibly #1 in murders. Floripa is "half german" but with the amendeties of southern Brazil ... :) Sao Paulo is just - everything. You better...

    Trading in Brazil?

    Also, the current banking laws and services in Brazil makes you think of really heavy marxist regimes. The bureaucracy here in Brazil is huge - amazingly huge - and probably a way of keeping the unemplyment lines thin. Public services and banks are in dire need of reforms and badly needed...

    To be able to do what you want you need to go beyond computer literate and master some Excel programming in Visual Basic; or you could cough up some $$$ for some of the consultants listed on the IB site under resources->toolbox. If you want to delve into Excel VB for applications you can also...

    Best Place to trade in the world - Quality of Life

    As far as I remember there was a cap on how much someone could earn in Cuba - around a few hundred USD worth per month I think. Other than that - illiteracy is lower than in the US and there's free medicare if you can stand a hot place like Havana. It also seems there is a few cops on every...

    Sky is falling Sunday night..

    World politics and the inherent stench is one chain of options. Further 9/11 hearings - embedded shit-story with marines displayed at Cannes - many things can jolt one's stomach and hurt more than your balls. And there's probably more oil to hit the fire soon, the rate (and with interest)...

    Rumsefeld: Operation Copper Green

    Nice choice of words in the rebuttal from Pentagon - none of the words false, wrong or untrue were used ... The reservists had very serious disciplinary problems - would not salute, were using non-standard mix of uniform etc. Hell, where I was in the military - at a regional NATO HQ - we...

    Poll: Who Cares About # Of Post ?

    The numbers list doesn't mean anything to most of us - because we're not on it ... a very simple and true fact. What would be a more useful side to EliteTrader was if someone could compile valuable and insightful posts into "digests" where we quickly could run through a subject. It would be...

    Educational background

    I think a mathematics, statistics or computer science background would certainly help a lot when trying to develop a system - because of technical tools. A lot of educations include elements from the above - bio-engineering, physics etc. However, to be successful, I think the main thing is...

    brokers with API & Complete CME Product Coverage?

    Terra Nova Online also offers an API - but I have no idea how it's hanging together ... I use the IB API for the time being. Here's a link to Terra Nova API info : http://www.terranovaonline.com/TNO_TP/API.asp I'm not sure if this is the same Terra Nova which sometimes has traders...

    Attack on ET members beware

    You should be aware that e.g. physical threats or serious threats are illegal also on the Internet - so if you get any threats like that you can actually go to the police and report it. Then they would pull the IP from the site, ISP and then hopefully fine the perp - if he wasn't a smartass and...

    Attack on ET members beware

    It's relative easy to ban their IP too - if they have a (semi-) fixed IP. Otherwise a scoring system is the only low-maintenance solution.

    Attack on ET members beware

    It all depends on the individual and their nick/handle. Some of them care greatly about their efforts and their nick. Some automated moderation/scoring would of course avoid many of the recent problems, but let's face it - it's also related to aggrevation in the markets - world events -...

    Attack on ET members beware

    Ah, I think you have to keep in mind that there are commercial interests involved in running a site like this too. It's not about the feelings of you or anyone else - it's about money and having fun getting it. At least that's why I started up my own companies while at university.

    Attack on ET members beware

    :D You're always funny to me - so just keep on dancing ... You obviously know your place and won't get out of line (confer http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=490882&highlight=nonsensical#post490882 ).
