    Why is the US now going to bail out Greece?

    I think its hilarious that US govt debt is still considered a safe haven when sh*t happens elsewhere in the world. I guess its just a matter of the lesser of evils. Hmmm, sh*t happens elsewhere and US Gov't gets to roll their debt over at lower yields...insert conspiracy theories here

    Why is the US now going to bail out Greece?

    The actual story is that the US is going to contribute billions to the IMF (as are other countries in proportion to their size) and the IMF is going to bail out Greece. http://www.imf.org/external/np/exr/faq/contribution.htm "The Group of Twenty industrialized and emerging market economies...

    Goldman Sachs E-Mail by Montag Described CDO as ‘Shi**y Deal’

    Unless you are only sending emails to yourself, good luck with that. In a corporate environment like MS Exchange, simply deleting your copy of an email doesn't delete the email from the server.

    Goldman Sachs E-Mail by Montag Described CDO as ‘Shi**y Deal’

    GS turns over a copy of the email messages after being served with a court order. I don't believe that is true.

    Why do home sellers prefer cash buyers?

    Maybe sprinter is talking about getting an ordinary loan using other assets as collateral and not an actual mortgage (loan), which, AFAIK, has to be secured with an interest on the property being purchased. Of course he said an approved mortgage, not an approved loan so....

    Why do home sellers prefer cash buyers?

    I do not believe it is possible to present an offer to purchase with an approved mortgage. You cannot even start the mortgage approval process until you have a signed purchase agreement to give to the lender, thus its catch-22. Unless you have found a bank that is willing to write a mortgage...

    Multiple monitors-USB vs. DVI vs. HDMI

    Personally if its an option (e.g. desktop not laptop) I would always opt for an on-board card solution rather than external (USB). USB bandwidth is limited and if it gets saturated it can impact the overall performance of your system in a very noticeable (and annoying) way DVI vs HDMI...

    Next bubble: $600 trillion?

    Quoting the notional value of all derivatives to create a big number may have a lot of headline shock value but does it really mean anything? How do you know the parties don't have their positions hedged so it would be impossible for large losses to really occur worldwide? I remember there...

    Wouldn't fixed spreads mean the broker isn't functioning as an ECN? Stocks and futures don't have fixed spreads.

    NAT is not enough, a stateful firewall is the minimum you should be using for security.

    Tippingpoint 10, Must have if you trade

    You are wrong and quite ignorant to make such a statement. Router NAT is not good security. KingOfShorts, good call on the ASA/IPS (Tippingpoint) combo. I've deployed larger Tippingpoint devices in an enterprise environment in the past, they are solid however the article that siki13 cited...

    Pilots making $10/hr???? You gotta be kidding me

    A decade ago they thought the same thing...I seriously doubt they will have software sophisticated enough to handle "what-if" situations in 10-20 years but who knows you may be right..... of course at that point Skynet will have declared war on mankind and killed most of us so its a moot point.
