A bunch of idiots who don't know how a university department works... Gonzalez was denied tenure due to a very simple fact, that he failed to secure grants that can support his work in the department. With the tight budget universities get these days, no department can afford a faculty that...

Been working on my new trading system. No time to post. Once it's done I'll be back. Just a short note here. You're confusing individual events (which might have a "reason" for happening) with statistical sampling. For example, why did Napoleon lose at Waterloo? Was the loss accidental or...

Interesting game played by parasitic wasps and Wolbachia bacteria. It's a dead serious game that conforms nicely to the game theory. Not all strains of the Wolbachia bacteria are able to change the sex of their hosts. For those who cannot, infecting the male eggs is futile. Many years ago...

It's the matter of timeframe. His claim is that the margin debt has not fallen below the 12 month average, which is the indicator he is using. That typically gives a signal about 6 months behind the exact turning point. Very useful if you think that a two year bear market (ala 2000-2002) is...

I've always wondered if Lee Iacocca was a naturally born leader: I Am Chairman Of Chrysler Corporation America How did he get this name?

Incompetent managers trying to outsmart the market and got burnt. The purpose of the tracking ETF's is to track the underlying market as closely as possible, not to outperform them (people trade both long and short sides). They need to hire someone who knows math and sort through the...

Wingnuts = parasitic wasps What a fitting analogy.

Check your quote against my definition of a null hypothesis: It is the assumption that any observed difference between two samples of a statistical population is purely accidental and not due to systematic causes. Without any further information, the only assumption one is allowed is to assume...

Sorry to go offtrack. Although it's a nuisance having to deal with idiots like jem, it's also part of the fun. :) Last time we talked about how the wasps became selective in choosing their mates to try to avoid the transexual (and definitely infected) individuals. The bacteria countered with...

I yielded because at that time you were still polite and graceful. And you were not as completely wrong as I thought you were. If others were using the same definition, I certainly should not fault you for using it. But it remains true that to this day you still don't understand what a null...

Now he has another authority to appeal to. :D

So you don't have the data. Liar.

I gave you the benefit of doubt, and didn't want to continue arguing on what I considered to be an issue unrelated to the main discussion. Note how conveniently you reversed the order of the two posts in your quote. You thought you were victorious when you appealed to a website and I stopped...

You can't see the fact even when the fact slaps you right in the face.

See my point? Their ID theory has one purpose, that is to oppose evolution. There is no way you can convince them that in fact, evolution could quite possibly be what the Creator used/is using.

LOL. One of the key ingredients of the evolution theory is "stupid random chance," (using z10's words). The ID proponents are opposed to that. If they're willing to accept "stupid random chance" as a possible method of intelligent design, then I have no more argument with them.

You were proven to have misrepresented others in another thread. This is not the thread to rehash all of that. One way for one not to lose an argument, is to pretend that he never lost the argument. You're doing very well here. You keep bringing this up as a trophy. What a proud guy! Since...

I'm so humbled. Let me learn how to debate from you, master. Lesson 1. Misquote a famous guy, preferably a Nobel Laureate, people like Weinberg (and misspell his name too). Point out clearly that he won a Nobel Prize. Then whatever you say would sound more important even if it has nothing to...

Now you want to claim that you're Lincoln reincarnate? You're delusional, that's all I see.

I just don't believe your BS.
