Want to learn programming... I came across this site this weekend - CodingBat.com... You can learn the basics of programming in Java or Python... Check it out... *disclaimer* I'm not affiliated with the site in any way. Just thought it'd be useful for the beginners...

Oy, dude. You seriously need to improve your reading comprehension. There is nothing in this thread suggesting the OP is a gambler or has a gambling problem. The only nutcase in this thread is you - not the OP, not JH, not Net. You're the only one who's demonstrated poor reading...

You can also run msconfig and disable some of the more obvious programs... Hit Start, type "msconfig" in the box, and hit enter. When the app pops up, go to the Startup tab, and unclick everything except your mouse, audio, and networking drivers. You don't need Java update running all...

Sounds great, but if they managed to con the power brokers and media into electing them, the bureaucracy would kill their grand ideas and solutions with a million paper cuts.... Basically, they'd get neutered just like Jimmy Carter...

Time to look at GC on the short side again, given that the futures markets like to breakdown from breakout (fakeout) formations... Methinks the *real* reaction to scaled back QE has started...

Presidents and their administrations come and go, but the bureaucracy is always there, doing the real work of the government. The bureaucracy runs the government no matter who's in office. Change the bureaucracy, you'll literally change the world... However, to change the bureaucracy...

Another thing everybody has overlooked is that his current system may not have enough RAM to hold all the data. If so, a goodly portion may be swapped to/from disk at some point during the tests..... In the long term, he'll want a system with 64-256 GB of RAM if he wants to use memory store...

Ok, you want to convert some EasyLanguage to C++/C#/Java. Is that all? What else are you trying to accomplish? As mentioned previously, EasyLanguage is procedural. You can easily write procedural code in C++ and C# without going anywhere near OOP. Indicators and simple functions do...

Are you looking to dig in and become a programmer? Or are you looking to understand stuff so you can confidently call BS if someone is trying to snow you with shit... For someone with a 6th grade education, you read and write much better than most HS grads... Any reason why you haven't...

I use Quandl to download the basic futures markets. You need to register in order to automatically download the data with an API key... And you need to email Tammer Kamel <connect@quandl.com> in order to gain access for unlimited downloads. The one problem I've encountered is that...

How about voting on posts and threads, with a scoreboard showing the Top X posts... I know some of the major forum software packages have this feature built-in....
