    Starting to rethink my views on minimum wage...

    Mav, I'm sure you meant to say AUD has lower purchasing power than USD. Because $AUD4.29 buys you only about 80% of a Big Mac Down Under, mate.

    Consistently Profitable Day Traders

    Wow Eric, congrats on a good year, not spectacular like a few years back but still a good, even a great year. Heck, 30% is nothing to sneeze at given the size of your account and the minimal drawdown. A 2% drawdown is very low. If you loosen your parameters to allow, say, 5% drawdown, would...

    Hotties leaving CNBC - Why ?

    Didn't watch the debate(don't watch much tv), but seen her clips on wsj, Kelly is a hottie for sure. And Sara Eisen on Bloomberg is an absolute knockout. Surprised she hasn't been mentioned yet.

    college education is wasted on american youth but not in China

    Something is off. If he graduated, he's still a programmer. He doesn't have to write games you know. He can work for any company that needs a programmer, Wall Street included, for a decent wage.

    Freezing up- Computer problem...Any advice ?

    Your temps are more than fine. I believe the CPU shut-off temp is 100C, 212 F, so you have plenty of room on that front. Re-seat all the cards in the slots, keyboard, mouse connectors too. Also check if you have any capacitor that are popped or looking bloated. If that doesn't work...
