What you're referring to were the end stages of the war that occurred during the winter of '44. The reality is that Germany first invaded the Soviet Union in the summer of 1941 during Operation Barbarossa. From that point on until hostilities ended with Russia's offensive during the Battle...

Look, Wikipedia can be spotty in places but, Youtube? Seriously? Tell you what, we can continue this once you come back with a link that's sourced from here: http://jawa.janes.com/public/jawa/index.shtml

OTOH, you could first consult Jane's or Wikipedia before your first post. That is, assuming you don't want to come across as a complete ass. The T-50, AKA the Sukhoi PAK FA, is being developed exclusively for the Russain Air Force, you know, the one you said had an "advanced fighter." The...

Advanced? Are you kidding? The Russians still don't have a service-ready 5th generation fighter while the US has had the F-22 in service for 5 years now. All they have is a single copy prototype, the T-50, that is scheduled to be in service by 2015. By then the US will have their second...

Hold on now, you said that fund managers and the like do not make directional bets. Well, wouldn't buying a company outright be an example of the ultimate directional bet? BTW, have you ever bothered to look at a Berkshire Hathaway 13-F? BH Financial buys and sells quite a bit of stock...

I doubt Buffett built the majority of his fortune by betting spreads.

Here's a zip file that contains a zipfile of the data directory and an FOSetup file. Unzip the data directory into your main MetaStock data directory, it contains 10 years of daily data for each symbol. You can execute the FOSetup file to import the 3 example systems with notes and one chart...

Most oscillators like the MACD, CCI, RSI and Stochastics to name a few, will indicate trend based on the location of indicator relative to it's midpoint line and the indicators direction. If it's above the midpoint the general trend is up. If the indicator is rising the trend is also rising...

FWIW, DSL is rarely a primary alternative these days. For starters, you rarely get the advertised speed that the provider states since it's dependent on how far you are in wire miles from the central office you're connected with. It's usually more expensive in data rate/dollar, if not...

The number of dipshit reality shows on the tube says you're wrong.

"It is common for a system to be described as capable of hot swapping when it really is only doing warm swaps. True hot swapping requires support from all of the components in the system: the RAID controller, the bus (usually SCSI), the enclosure (which must have open bays for the drives so they...

The concept behind a hot-pluggable drive bay is pretty simple, it's data and power connectors have different length fingers so that the data, system ground, and bus voltage are staged. Data is the first to be connected, then ground and finally bus when the drive tray is inserted and the...

How, exactly, does anyone verify the accuracy of a bunch of anonymous reviews/customer experiences? Most of the information on the web is worth exactly what you paid to get it...

No need to wonder, just keep an eye out for legislation coming out of Congress. For example, the first PATRIOT act was passed by the House 46 days after the towers fell. But, that wasn't the scary part. It was the fact that no member of Congress was allowed to read the contents of the act...

The 2.5" drives in a laptop simply do not have the rotational speed or mass to generate the kind of heat that a 3.5" 10K or 15K drive will generate. The 7200rpm 500GB drive that's in my machine is, at most, warm after a full days use.

If all you've dealt with are consumer class laptops then, yes, what you describe is pretty much the norm. Not so with business class laptops, especially the ones that are meant as mobile workstations. They're quiet, don't generate that much heat and once you slap an external display...

The collapse in the price of crude from over $140/bbl is more than enough proof that its price is not based only on consumption. The same with gold, it can't be only speculation when 60% of annual production is consumed by the jewelery and manufacturing industries.

Bullshit. Everything traded on speculation will over/under shoot its intrinsic value at some point in time. The rub is that it takes time before you have the perspective to see how far it deviated.

So, you think this is somehow different than when oil was trading around $140/bbl?
