You can make hydrogen without fossil fuels. One way is simply using wind or solar to produce the electricity needs to split water into hydrogen. However the most likely method will be to use solar hydrogen. This is a process where gallium and titanium oxide cells that convert solar energy...

You could probably risk 1.5% safely.

Good trading systems should only loose their edge slowly. The speed with which a system degrades can be measured. Simply measure it then tune your scripts accordingly. Runningbear

I don't understand. Why would anyone want to stop mastibating? It's fun.:D Runningbear

I was stuck in backpacking hostel in Prague with a bunch of American and Canadian tourists drinking Absenthe for a week. Never again. It might sound cool, but it really does tast like crap. And wipes you out. Not overly pleasent. Van Gough cut his ear off after drinking it you know...

XP 32 bit does have problems managing 4 X 1 gig sticks of ram. So if you regularly need more than 2 gigs, XP 64bit is a better option. The main driver most traders need is the matrox driver for multiple monitors which are available in 64 bit versions. If you want to keep your system...

If I'm forced to choose between believing in god and global warming, I'll choose global warming. At least I have proof that Carbon Dioxide exists. :D Runningbear

Solar is presently expensive compared to fossil fuel options. The average payback period is 15 years without rebates. PV cells are expensive to make and won't be getting much cheaper. In Australia, the government has just lifted the rebate to $3000 per home, which is pretty good considering...

toc, That's a facinating concept. Can you tell us in laymens terms how the technology works? I read once that scientists were thinking of placing metal towers out at sea that when struck by lightning, would convert salt water to hydrogen via electrolysis. Is this a similar thing? Runningbear

48 vials is a commercial quanty. He'd need to be injecting 4 vials a day which is rediculous for personal use. What an idiot to bring that quantity of drug into another country.

Training in the martial arts is a great way to learn about fear control. It teaches you to do what's best for you regardless of the situation. To remain calm when you're under attack. This is exactly the same as when the market is going against you. So in that sense, I think it is valueable...

As R & D into alternative energy increases, the cost of renewables will continue to fall. It's predicted that within 10 years, solar will at less than 4 cents per KwH. When that happens, we will all by driving electric cars that cost $10 bucks a week to run. Eventually oil will be something...

Historically, very few people have had much luck with neural software in predicting market behavior. Recently however, I read an article in Wired magazine about Jeff Hawkins who started Palm. He's developed a new type of software that mimics how the human brain works called Numenta. Maybe...

Oil.

If you want proof that vehicle emmisions are bad for you, go suck on a car exhaust pipe for 3 minutes and see how you feel. It's not just about Co2. It's also about pumping billions of litres of carcinogenic chemicals into the air we breath. No one can legitimately claim that exhaust...

Why don't you just get a few programmers to quote the job and see what price they come back with. You may be suprised to find that those charging less per hour quote a higher final figure. Runningbear
