    Protecting IP when working with 3rd-party developer to automate

    In OOP, you have encapsulation and information hiding.

    China will lie to U.S. ally on a matter of war

    Getting more sanctions in place (what's left to sanction anyway ?) just means waiting long enough for the DPRK to do something provocative, like launch a Taepo Dong at Japan (this is what North Korea calls "exporting" :) ). BTW, why don't you visit the official North Korean Friendship...

    XP Smart Security/XP Defender Pro trojans

    Be very suspicious of any tasks appearing to be windows security programs that you did not install. I just downloaded 2 trojans masquerading as windows security programs. They appear in the systray as the normal windows security shield icon. They are named XP Smart Security and XP Defender...

    Health Bill Would Add 3.8% Tax on Investment Income

    "From each according to his ability, to each according to his need" Sounds idyllic doesn't it ? 74 years of the Soviet Union proved otherwise.

    Health Bill Would Add 3.8% Tax on Investment Income

    Yes, we need health care reform. Not a government takeover of the health care system. We need more affordable health care, period. Not a redistribution of wealth.

    But if you're trading an automated strategy, the emotional aspect was never an issue anyway, whether demo or live. You might loose faith in your automated strategy trading live, and perhaps shut it down, but you're still relying on it to do the trading. The real question in auto trading in...
