    The New Soviet Union - Surprise, Surprise...

    yes, they are declining at a rate of 700,000 per year. estimated to be a 20% decline by 2050. This will hammer their economy. also, in reaction to SA's latest post, it is true that they are not going back to the age of the USSR. they have supplanted this with an economic system based on...

    TT vs. Ninja

    I don't believe you understand resolution. 2560X1920 has the same number of pixels on both screens. the pixels are just larger on the 42". They show the same data, but finer on the 30". therefor, you just get big fat charts on the 42, but not more of them. 2560 res is perfect for charting on...

    Obama touts plan to end imported oil reliance within 10 years

    They BOTH keep flip flopping. Barak has flipped ,or at least modified, every single position he took in the primaries: from campaign finance to gun control to Iraq to the Cuban embargo. You name it, he's changed it. It all depends who he is talking to at the time. This problem seems to be...

    TT vs. Ninja

    a 42" monitor at 2560 X 1920 will not show more data than a 30" monitor at the same res. Everything will just be larger. This is why 28" monitors do not sell well. Same res as a 24, but not more stuff on it. I've run em side by side just to confirm.

    Worst TWS Yet?

    I am on 882.2 no problems. I only upgrade when they make me. By they, I mean third party software that eventually does not work with really old TWS versions. This works out about twice per year max. My current version was released in February. I did have to download a newer Java plug in a...

    Anyone here from Vietnam ?

    yes, but is it fast and stable? and is it available in any of the popular beach resort areas? most 3rd world countries, even those with big expat communities such as Thailand, only have good net connections in the capitol cities. I check up on Phuket on a regular basis, and it is still slow...

    The New Soviet Union - Surprise, Surprise...

    80% of Russia's economy is dependent on high energy prices. When they drop so does Russia. And yes they will drop, its inevitable. If supply/demand keeps everything tight, we will switch fuels. Give it 20 years max, and Russia is bankrupt again. BTW, except for their excellent MIG's, Russian...

    Obama touts plan to end imported oil reliance within 10 years

    Ron Paul had great intentions, but is just a bit too much of a whack job. You cannot say to the American people that you would just eliminate the CIA! way too radical.

    Obama touts plan to end imported oil reliance within 10 years

    Both parties are in fantasy land when it comes to spending. They keep putting off the hard choices for political reasons. It would be curious to see what % of out national leaders really wish to help the country vs their own careers. I think we really need a strong, 3rd national party that is...

    i'd like to hear about this also. wondering about net there, as well as how difficult it would be to stay for an extended length of time.

    Senate to end preferential tax for commodities?

    anything that has me sitting in front of a computer all day instead of skiing or windsurfing, is work. i have never played a video game, but that would be work for me also. Probably wouldn't even have a computer if not for trading. That is why i bought my first one back in '87. had less ram...

    I'm voting for McCain

    me too. They really don't need Mac on the ballots. just a yes/no referendum on Obama, cause that is what this really is anyway.

    Trading internationally...if the US crumbles

    nah. I bet we'd just start over, no one with any debt, but this time fiscal responsibility would be enforced by law. balanced budget amendment, little pork spending, very low limits on credit cards, small military only for defense (which isn't even needed given all the nukes on hand, so maybe...

    Obama touts plan to end imported oil reliance within 10 years

    Well, have you seen him debate vs give his teleprompter speeches? he is bloody impressive with the rehearsed speeches. one of the best i've seen in about 3 decades of following politics. That said, he is just average in debates, and down right clumsy when a question comes out of nowhere on...

    Peak Oil is a myth

    huge environmental probs with recovering the stuff also. The earth as a whole needs to just buck up and spend a shitload to shift to a hydrogen economy. It can never run out, and if you use solar, wind, geothermal, etc to produce it from water, it has zero effect on the environment (well, the...
