On a sidenote: I cannot help having the very definite impression that all this "hedging with derivatives" is one gigantic Ponzi scheme. All nice and well when there is low valatility but when eventually volatility goes up then this whole derivatives idea blows up. Who is there to pay out...

Thumbs up for this product, all works out of the box: finger print, power manager , audio, wireless, bluetooth etc. Initially I thought the fan was not switching off but that was not true: it does switch off but it runs the T61p a bit cooler than that XP / Vista does (a tad more often on)...

real story and made the papers: a couple went on holiday to Singapore and took their poodle with them. Did not speak the language, and the cook was non-english speaking and from China. They pointed to the menu for what they wanted and then they pointed to their poodle and the menu to try to get...

My great grandfather came in the second world war (1944, The Netherlands) home before Christmas with a "rabbit" for Christmas dinner. Everyone was starving and meat was not to be had..... He did not eat, he wanted the kids and the wife to have it all "to get their strengths up". Early in...

Thanks, I'll need to download it too. Maria

This thread would be absolutely hilarious if it was not that people are taking this serious. One would have expected that those calling themselves traders would have a level of intelligence above the mean of the population. The only solace I am taking away from this thread is that as long...

would be very carefull at this level - we may go sideways or even reverse. The move on Friday went a tad too far for my liking, I need to see what Monday brings before doing anything. Maria

no it is not - it is the "user pays principle" or do you expect the same for food too? Can really see you stating; "I eat three loafs of bread a week and the skinny guy one , why do I need to pay for three?" Yeah right (as the Tui beer ad goes here) fuel is major cost for travel and...

Next time your rebuild just make a backup copy with Acronis True Image and make a bootable CD and shove the backup on DVD / external HDD. Whenever you think there is something not right it takes less than 10 minutes to have the machine restored (in my case about 4 minutes). No configuring...

Would not want to waste my time on that. That's already real old, just that there has been given a new name to it. The guy that initially called it a dragon has now giving up trading it. Cannot believe that they are trying to bring it as a good way for trading, but hey they have to sell...

I think the jabs come automatically when a firm becomes a dominant force in their industry. Just jealous competitors fueling it. e.g. Look at how many (myself included) poke at Micro$hit. From that perspective this whole thread is a complement for IB: they have joined the big league...

It will have a positive impact on those places where they have stopped growing food and started to plant crops for oil (e.g. in Indonesia). Rice came in short supply and hence prices for rice, wheat etc started to climb, not even to talk about the impact on the lives of many in the poor...

Apologies, I stand corrected :eek: (missed the date of the original posting....) Maria

There has also been a proposal that the CEO's of the bailed out banks are going to be relocated to China and "be rehabilated according to Mao's guidelines". However before they can work on the communal farms they'll have to loose about half their body weight in order not to look at out place...

why are you looking at the Z8 and not at H9? Maria

moving on air .... who is left to take the other side? Maria

yes Maria

not always is the help what it seems - this time the worker gets done over properly

sometimes the worker gets into a bind and is waiting for some help

The poor hard worker has to make extra efforts and take risks to get a meal....
