    +100, most employees at lehman are just your average hardworking middle class that got completely destroyed. They worked 50+ hrs every week in technology, operations, middle office, HR, etc..that has nothing to do with the 1% of the firm that was part of the meltdown. It wasnt even the...

    Why Fat is the Preferred Fuel for Human Metabolism

    Atticus, is that similar to bertolli extra virgin olive oil? I have been using it to cook most of my food trying to follow the mediterranean diet. Can i summarize this as basically "be a vegetarian"? The question is still valid, where do you get your proteins? I know a lot of vegearians at...

    The American Dream has been shattered for highly skilled immigrants.

    VB.net programming error

    Give me a break, there is nothing wrong with processing your logic directly in the quote(or a function call within the quote) instead of creating additional overhead by saving it to some in-memory data structure then having another process read from there. The precursor obviously is the...

    Uninterruptable power supply?

    I would definitely recommend this, call up GE they will install it for you. But in your case since it's relatively low power consumption, you dont need two, one should be enough. Oh yeah, make sure you store the used fuel rods in a safe place like your basement, instead of on top of...

    VB.net programming error

    that's classic synchronization issue, as streaming tickers will call onQuoteUpdate() as soon as they come in even if the previous ticker thread hasnt finished yet. I am not familiar with microsoft crap but believe the syntax are as follows to make the function thread safe in vb...
