    Add computer or monitor?

    You need to come up with some QUANTITATIVE STANDARDS other than just the price. For example: - FPS in standardized benchmarks of Game#1, Game#2, Game#3 (some cards work great with some games and not others, and vice-versa) - primitives benchmark, such as polygons/sec, 3D/matrix/vector...

    Obese Americans

    Sure, standards may have changed, but that's only an indicator. BMI of 18.5-25 is considered the healthy range and while changing the desired target of 22 down to 20 may show fewer people fitting the ideal, it still doesn't change the actual numbers in the data sampling set. What's not...

    What are your Trading Breakthroughs?

    yeah, limiting losses was the biggest breakthrough for me. Stopping out of positions quickly and immediately really opened up possibilities for gains on the upside.

    Gentlemen prefer blondes?

    Seems the hotter they are, the more insecure they are. Thus the "high-maintenance" attitudes. I think the good ones are in the median somewhere, not too hot, not too insecure, not too demanding. Yeah, green-eyed brunettes are pretty exotic. :) And fake-tits are fine, it just depends upon the...

    10-year old prostitute girls living in streets

    I don't know about destroy, as they're still around. But God did punish them over and over again each time they messed up.

    Opium on CBOT?

    Yeah, but are you sure that demand has peaked? How much of that +40% increase in production is sitting unsold? Would street-prices drop if you moved it?

    Why you people in the US pay income tax WHEN YOU DONT HAVE TO?

    hmmm... corporations only pay taxes on what's left after expenses. This includes: - autos (insurance, operating costs, maintenance, repairs) - depreciation of autos, buildings, assets - costs-of-operations: classes & training, phones, meals, R&D, phones, travel, hotels, conventions &...

    Opium on CBOT?

    Bah, 40% is nothing compared to +2000% the year after we kicked out the Taliban.

    speeding up the PC

    More software typically does the opposite, it slows down your computer. The fastest possible state for your PC is with a fresh install of Windows with nothing else installed. Each software package installed after that results in a machine that gets slower and slower and more crash-prone. At some...

    New to Forex Trading...

    Is that even a real and verifiable stat? Or is that 95% of "transactions" lose money and 5% of them win? In that case you can be a "successful" trader by losing 19 times in a row, but only 2-5% each time. But on the 20th trade, you'd hit a 100% return that'll make up for all the previous ones...

    Why do federal judges hate America?

    The judge's decision won't affect anything other than information-gathering. Here's info on the facts that are already known: US DOJ - A Review of the FBI's Handling of Intelligence Information Prior to the September 11 Attacks If you don't want to read the entire report, skip to the...

    Comcast/ router/ IB

    I've had sporadic problems with Cox Cable out here in Cali as well. Mostly at 2-3am in the morning, so I suspect it's just maintenance-related on their end. The thing with cable is that you get blazing fast max-speed throughputs on downloads. But you have to share that pipe with everyone else...
