Which makes them no different from Big Religion in that regard. How's that Abstinence Only bullshit working out, by the way? :D :D

Good enough. Sorry the sarcasm doesn't always translate well over "the internets." :D

It's silly to assume Fox "News" hyperbole is "proof" of anything. This isn't a radical breakthrough, it's just a theory that has yet to be confirmed. And even if true, it has fuckall to do with most physics and chemistry textbooks now in use. Element 122 may be stable but it certainly isn't...

Ah, politics in the Grand Oligarchic Politburo. :D The Dems may be a mess but at least they try to keep the appearance of fairness and democracy. I get that there are honest and fair Republicans, but never at the top of the party, I've noticed. All you truly fairminded Republicans should...

Just found on msnbc: McBush gets to ride from campaign stop to campaign stop on wifey's corporate jet and only has to reimburse less than one-quarter the cost of flying it based on a family-exemption loophole that HE rammed into the bill regulating corporate jetting for Congress members...

Exactly. Just wtf were people expecting from the daughter of Billy Ray Cyrus, sainthood? :D :p Bottom line: every adult she knows is trying to exploit this kid for all she's worth: Disney, her parents, Vanity Fair, yada yada. The real "shocker" is all the feigned outrage from ET...

Amazingly--and amusingly--the one performance stat that is almost never mentioned is the most important one: the buy-and-hold index (BHI). Think about it. What's the point of trading? To beat the market. Making a profit means little if you're still doing worse than the old granny strategy...

Time series analysis is usually independent of time frame. What applies to daily bars can be applied to 5-minute bars and to monthly bars. The question is whether a given time series is amenable to prediction on any scale, and to what extent. The typical TA tool is too crude to yield truly...

USAF, Systems Command tech

Because thousands of people, including thousands of Americans, have died and continue to die in an unjustified invasion and occupation of Iraq based on Bush/GOP's lies. How come rightwingers can't connect a simple line of dots and come to an obvious conclusion?

There are a lot of religious doctrines that aren't protected by the First Amendment. We're seeing a polygamy case play out right now in Texas, and those people are claiming "religious persecution." No sale. The dirty little secret of politics and religion is that the state always trumps the...

Seems like you enabled the death yourself, with the jokey tone and encouraging the silly tavern humor. Can't have your cake and eat it too, dude, so pick a serious tone and stick with it if you have a serious point to make.

Every TA indicator is alleged to be "a tool that presents endless opportunity for creativity and big rewards for hard work." And if you don't think there are any magic numbers, then explain why 201 is all over that website. What's so special about 201? This isn't a trivial or impertinent...

I'm just going by what Millard posted: "Three cycles are shown for the FTSE100 Index in early August 2007. These are the short term 15 day cycle, a slightly longer 41-day cycle and a long term 201-day cycle." There are lots of "magic" numbers in TA, not even counting all the fibonacci...

No offense but how is this any different from any other cycle analysis with pre-set parameters (15-day, 41-day, 201-day)? I always wonder where these numbers come from, and why they're supposed to apply to every market.

Ehlers got it right. Another way of calculating lag is (1-A)/A, where A is the smoothing factor of the EMA. That frees your EMA from the restriction that it must correspond to an integral lookback period (A = 2/(N + 1), where N is the number of bars in the lookback). A lagging indicator...

Dude, you just revealed yourself to be the dumbest guy in this thread. :D First of all, "gravite" translates as "revolve", so the French got it right. BTW if, as YOU said, "They are asking something very much like which body's gravity is the strongest on Earth", then the correct answer...

That's pretty freakin' ignorant. Has the American version displayed cluelessness on that scale?

When you settle out of court, you drop the suit, Einstein. "Before the case reached trial, Judge Susan Webber Wright granted President Clinton's motion for summary judgment, ruling that Jones could not show that she had suffered any damages--according to Arkansas state law standards of...

I'll be impressed when these "rocket scientists" learn how to make directional calls instead of hedging everything. :p
