    FREE quote servers to scrape quotes during trading hours?

    Scraping a web site and downloading a csv file are 2 different things. No site is going to make available a csv file for free. You're going to have to scrape. Find the right page, parse the html source, extract the data you want, and save it on your system. You're reinventing the wheel...

    Large sorting in R

    For what it's worth, I use both spacewiz's and i960's solutions: - postgresql with heavily indexed tables - sql for simple, frequently used queries - suck all the data into Perl when I need to perform computational intensive calculations. s/Perl/R|Python|C|C#/ depending on your...

    C. 36 books - non-fiction = 12, fiction = 24, hardcover = 9, paperback = 27 Initial equation -> 2/3f + 1/3nf = 1/4hc + 3/4pb smallest common denominator is 12 Multiply by 12 -> 8f + 4nf = 3hc + 9pb doesn't match because 4nf < 10 Next common denominator = 24 -> 16f+8nf = 6hc+18pb doesn't...

    Can any 'Green' energy top gasoline?

    Future cars will have paint that acts like a solar panel - captures solar energy and convert to electric power that runs the car... Same with shingles/tiled roofs. Nice thought, anyways...

    Graphics Card for 6 Monitors

    The main thing is for him to determine what his mobo supports so he doesn't buy an unsupported newer card for an older mobo. Nothing like wasting time and money ordering the wrong card, only to have to send it back and get a different one. I've burned myself doing that, so I'd imagine he'd...

    Whether you like Trump or not.......

    On the one hand, you have to admire Trump for being the bull in the china shop. At least for the entertainment value. There is something to be said for being unpredictable and crazy. It's scares the shit out of your opponents, and turns them into passive wusses. Same tactic women employ...

    Increased Arctic sea ice volume

    The Freakanomics guys think that the hand-wringing and solutions targeting the transportation and energy industries have very little impact in reducing carbon footprint. Both industries contribute little to the "problem". Consequently, the "solutions" end up having minimal effect. To boot...

    Increased Arctic sea ice volume

    Translation: Normal humans need tens to hundreds of data points to determine a trend. I can see a pattern in only 2 data points. I am a super genius who'll protect the planet from the humans hell-bent on destroying it (even though the planet has proven itself mightily resilient). I...

    Increased Arctic sea ice volume

    And just as irrelevant to anyone or anything else, except the pedestrian and a few drivers for a few seconds, assuming the pedestrian avoids getting himself squashed.
