Also: can you trade NYSE and NASDAQ issues from a European broker? (Please forgive my ignorance!)

Do you guys have any discount brokers similar to IB? I've got a couple of relatively small accounts and can't afford high commissions.

Or to Singapore for a little behaviorial modification?

Wow! That's brutal. I thought that IB's policy was the PDT reg. I didn't realize you were protecting me from Big Brother. Thx again...

Thank you, thank you, thank you for someone admitting that one does not have to commit intellectual suicide to be a theist nor is every problem known to humanity caused by religion and that, maybe, just maybe there's a snowball's chance that something supernatural has gone on in our universe.

And I don't mean to sound patronizing but the Big Bang is kind of like Newtonian Physics. Newtonian physics was not destroyed by Relativity nor was it shown to be wrong. In the same way, the Big Bang is not going to completely eliminated or shown to be false. There's just too much evidence...

I agree with you that the qunatum gravity era (10 -34 seconds and earlier) may be up for grabs. But the Big Bang is not going away. You can call it whatever you want but an explosion did happen for many reasons: 1. Actual measurements of the expansion rate based on the distance of the...

I have to say that from what I've read, this is incorrect as well. You don't have to use atomic clocks to measure the speed of light, right? Can't we measure the speed of light exactly throughout most of time and space using hyperfine split spectral lines on hydrogen objects throughout the...

I don't want to speak for anybody, but didn't he mean that the speed of light is independent of the observer or better yet the "frame of reference"? In other words, in all frames of reference the speed of light is, well, c?

That gave me a shiver down my spine. ************************************************ Now who the hell cares about the best car for the money ************************************************ Not me!

Imo it is a variant on older themes such as multiple universes, "space foam", etc. Here's what I am interested in: how does it explain a predisposition to mutational advance and macroevolution? I can see how it would explain certain physical phenomenon but not life itself. I am curious...

Here's another one: http://www.gourmetnews.com/2003.07/depts/sb/sbstory2.htm Just do the following google and you'll even see their supreme court case - I'm assuming it's the same company? "holmes group" lawsuit

They have been involved in many lawsuits and should therefore have public records available. In addition, you may be able to contact former companies that have filed against them. They might be more than happy to help in some way. For example, see the site...

Wow! Incredible site. 3.1 seconds! I'd love to be at a light and have some poor slob rev his engine a little too much... And I mentioned Vipers cuzz I love the way they look. They've got a little bit more of the muscle car look. Every time I see one on the road, I almost drive into the...

I started the thread and I have no desire to be in a religious debate of any sort. I am interested only in the science of it all. Let each draw his own supernatural conclusions.

You're entitled to your opinion and I to mine...

Sorry but that's incorrect labelling. There's a growing body of "old earth creationists." And there's a growing body of cautiosly skeptical scientists who see Design in the Universe but don't necessarily want to line up with any particular religion. Please don't lump all of us in with the...

Actually, I think it says that there will always be an element of faith in all paradigms...

To me that's not the point. Einstein said, "The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science." I absolutely agree with him. The remarkable thing about our universe is that our intermediate levels of understanding always prove to yield...

The best car for the money is still the Viper. For 80k you can have 500 horses and do 0-62 in 3.9 seconds. I'm not sure doing it in 3.5 seconds is worth the extra 160k. But I'd take it if you gave it to me. :D
