Because you understand very little. This and every other bill Socialists pass is not about health care but about politics and about supporting their own corrupt electorate. There will be no more health care provided for people after it is implemented but the money collected will support...

I do not know of any free real time data and there are probably none because the data is "owned" by exchanges and there is a fee involved and anyone who "shares" data breaks legal agreements. However, you may check Google Tradelink, Yahoo finance, and some ECN's might have data available as...

... unless you have actually programmed something more complex than "hello world!" - no offence. This is characteristic for people who have superficial knowledge of programming and do not understand where the real issues are with building good applications. The issue is actually this...

Bitdefender 2013 is does not install properly on some systems (x64) and does not integrate well with Windows 8. There are multiple warnings from Windows and update might not work properly. Checking support shows issues with system crashes, corrupt downloads etc. Do not recommend Bitdefender...

"Progressive" is a misnomer because there is nothing progressive about what they do. Less economic and political freedom, less freedom of speech and less democracy. It is amazing but not surprising that the people do not see who they are empowering. FTT is part of the strategy not to leave...

I was visiting this discussion from time to time and I realized that you might not really know what you are trying to accomplish and this is in some dream phase. 200-300 Mb Excel worksheet is probably worth fraction of real data and the rest is just formatting. Excel will be inherently...

If you are using motherboard with single processor then there is no reason to use xeon plus more expensive ecc memory and motherboard. i7 and xeon have very similar architecture and performance. Xeon is more suited for servers with steady workload 24/7 and i7 are geared toward retail...

I am using older i7 -2600K running 8 logical cores at 80-95% utilization for hours at the time and did not notice any system instability or overheating (using a little bigger fan and heat sink)

Can somebody explain to me why people who are guaranteed equal rights and obligations (Constitution) can be subjected to discriminatory tax rates. How this is legally possible in free and democratic countries?

Family XP computer with MSE got infected with System Progressive Security, installed itself, disabled MSE changed registry etc. Bravo! So why do I have warnings trying to install programs or access certain folders and functions and viruses get free pass to my computer. So the only...

Generals are always fighting the last war. All the military power depends on air power and this is only couple of thousand pilots that need minimum of 5 years of training. Ships are sitting ducks and army has just proven in Afghanistan and Iraq that they can not fight without air support. Once...

If the EU can send a letter to US broker or exchange to collect tax for them then the same can be done by the Republic of Chad or anybody for that matter (maybe even myself). Well this particular technicality can be challenged in courts or simply such letter would end up in garbage bin with no...

The bureaucrats do not care and are fixated on economically damaging idea because it is "right". Again hard numbers, facts and logic does not apply here. Do not count on those to help fighting FTT.
