Before Taleb re-branded himself as a philosopher and his ego was still a manageable size, he wrote a pretty good book that covered some of the pricing issues of binary and other exotic options: Dynamic Hedging More recently, there has been a flurry of binary betting/binary options books...

Yeah, this is a tricky one. It's not like reviewing a book that remains unchanged once it has been published. Times change, companies change, their software/platform changes. eBay and other services have mechanisms for weighting more recent reviews higher than older ones. That's one...

The removal of "daily shutdown" has been a requested feature for many many years. It will not be removed.

This is how you can moderate your own thread today

I'm glad I posted that chart otherwise I would have missed out on the intelligent and mature discussion of it's contents that has subsequently ensued. Anyway, I'm moving to Hong Kong!

It's very simple: They knew they were doing something wrong. They lied about the children being orphans. They were caught.

There's about 10 posts so far with links to a website for "Hydroxycut" The user handles are: Mordaq, Mardor, Koobeton. Looks like a bot of some sort.

No it doesn't. easyOffice is part of the easyGroup: http://www.easy.com/ The owner of easyGroup, Stelios Haji-Ioannou, is worth about £1.29 Billion http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stelios_Haji-Ioannou I find it hard to believe that Stelios would be on Elite Trader under the handle...

Orient? She's Israeli. Here she is some 17 years ago auditioning for Leon: <object width="445" height="364"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/CqNfJCJUD08&hl=en_GB&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0x006699&color2=0x54abd6&border=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen"...

Hilarious. And sums up the flaws and limitations of the iPad quite nicely too: "It can't even make phone calls" "It sounds like a fucking tampon"

Oh, forgot to answer this question. I haven't done push with Silverlight but there was a project I came across a few months back that mandated using Lightstreamer for pushing to the client: http://www.lightstreamer.com/ It isn't open source though and I didn't work on the project in the...

Not necessarily. Just giving a heads-up that developing non-trivial Flex applications is not fast. If your application has to live in a browser and you want RIA technology then your main choices are 1) Flex 2) Silverlight 3) JavaFX......a possible 4) AJAX - though I put the last in a slightly...

Yep, those are the official Adobe products. There are third-party products too, such as the open source: http://www.graniteds.org

I assume you're talking about Adobe Flex? I also assume you aren't talking about "real" real-time because as far as I know that is not possible with the Actionscript VM. No, you do not need a ColdFusion server. Flex can talk to just about any server-side technology either natively with the...

It's already a downloadable file. If it's showing in your browser then you've downloaded it. If you want to save it somewhere specific on your hard drive other than the browser cache, right-click the image and choose the option that says "save image as..." or "save target as..." depending on...

"It's the beginning of the end of the USA. It's the end of the beginning of China." (byteme) The stages of grief seem to apply quite well to those who are faced with declining power in the world: 1) Denial (this isn't happening to me). (2000 -> 2010) 2) Anger (why is this happening to...

If it wasn't for the bug, this thread wouldn't exist; there would be a "Log Out" link on every page in the same consistent place. At least this has now been brought to the attention of the powers that be - it should be a simple fix.

You're missing the point. Perhaps you just want to disagree with the TraderZones because you two have a history. Nevertheless, the software has a bug that TraderZones is indrectly referring to: When you've already logged in, there shouldn't be a link saying "Become a Member" at the top. It...
