    Americans Have Lost VIRTUALLY ALL of Our Constitutional Rights

    My experience with immigrants suggests several reasons... they watch our movies and TV shows, and believe the US offers a higher quality of life the belief that the US offers greater opportunities to improve one's lot - increase one's income, accumulate more *stuff*, support their families...

    Americans Have Lost VIRTUALLY ALL of Our Constitutional Rights

    I've heard, but haven't seen the proof, then everyone over the age of 16 has violated a law 4-5 times per day... Obviously, traffic violations constitute most of those, but the fact remains that most laws are written targeting less than 1% of the population, but ends up...

    FBI seizes underground drug market Silk Road

    His undoing was that he didn't do anything to protect his identity beyond using TOR: - He used the same identifying info in the clear net and on Tor - name, handles, emails, etc. - He didn't use clean systems from many different locations - he didn't use multiple VPN or proxies to hide...

    Q4 2013: A Market Inflection Point

    Philosophical question time... Are you more interested in being right or making money? Are you willing to change your mind if it makes you money? Market time... Look at a daily chart for E6 (EuroFX). Do you see an uptrend with several slight pauses or the very common futures...

    Ups

    A retail UPS is a "pay once every 5 years" kind of deal... Higher cost up-front, much lower cost when amortized over 5 years... What is the cost of a typical outage? How many can you sustain before it stops making sense? Risk management/playing great defense applies your technology set...

    Q4 2013: A Market Inflection Point

    Personally, I think you're a year early... -- the unintended consequences of Obamacare haven't shown themselves yet... -- the unintended consequences of the US gov't shutdown haven't shown themselves yet... -- the "shot across the bow" in the form of a very public hedge fund/prop firm...

    There are two things missing from this thread - the purpose of the machine and your expectations Everybody is throwing out SWAG because you've provided no guidance - you haven't answered the 2 questions above... The one thing I do know - you're not a programmer/developer/Unix/Linux user...

    The Hindsight Thread.

    In hindsight, I wish last Thursday I predicted this thread starting today.... Seriously, in hindsight, I wished I reversed my position in HOZ13 on Aug 29 instead of merely exiting my long.....

    A direct competitor to IB targeting active traders

    This particular example, at this point in time, may seem to be "dying", but the model itself still works... All things travel in cycles... I'm willing to bet the idea is fermenting in the mind of someone who disagrees, and sees a great opportunity. Riches pass to the risk-takers...

    Global warming pause "may stubbornly remain until 2020 or 2025.

    Kinda doubt the "...Republicans and are total assholes" would be stated in a credible publication... Regarding the graph, remove all the Axis labels and it isn't any different than a graph of 1 minute rectal thermometer readings in the 4-5 hours after a very spicy Thai meal.

    Getting laid with virgins vs non-virgin girls

    For US citizens, it's not just limited to the mainland. It applies worldwide. To US authorities, US laws apply to US citizens everywhere on planet Earth and the Universe in general. But the way our government works, US laws apply to everyone everywhere. If US authorities learn that...

    CTS T4 API Development forum?

    Could be a couple of things. I'm a Unix guy, so take it with a grain of salt. (1) You might be missing library paths in your PATH environment variables. Likely the libraries were not installed not in System32; (2) Could be your project/config file(s) are missing variables/paths for...

    Getting laid with virgins vs non-virgin girls

    Virgins are like most traders... They just lay there, afraid and insecure, expecting something magically wonderful to happen without any effort on their part... Give me a non-virgin any day...

    Scientists depressing new discovery about the brain

    Mostly because people who don't want to change because they have a vested interest in maintaining their current opinion. The reasons are sometimes political, religious, financial, etc. But mostly, it's ego. Changing their views means they might appear weak, indecisive, wishy-washy, or...

    Scientists depressing new discovery about the brain

    Did they bother switching the order of the story/labels on the table and testing to see if the results were the same. Could be that the results are order-dependent, and conclusive of nothing at all... Whatever the subjects were exposed to first is what stuck in their brains...

    DRW sues CFTC

    Don't worry. Only computers have parsed your emails and learned about you and your partner's penchant for dressing up as Chewie and Princess Leia during sex... No humans were involved in the reading of these non-threats to national security....
