Yes, although to be fair to gold, one big difference is that a gov't can print as much currency as they want, the supply of gold is limited to what is mined and the total amount in the earth (e.g. it is scarce) So the holders of gold at least don't have to worry about someone flooding the...

Gold's value is derived from the overwhelming perception that it is valuable. Rather silly if you think about it but it works. Of course that could change in an instant...In a post-nuclear war world I wouldn't give up food, ammo, medicine, etc for someone offering me gold.

As you can tell from the varied responses you received, it would be most helpful if you told us if you are concerned with making sure that no information is recoverable from a drive you have formatted for privacy/security reasons or if you are trying to recover data from a drive that has been...

That's ok, 99% of netcitizens won't bother to block ads so they will subsidize sites for those of us that do block ads. I agree with those that said Firefox with AdBlock - its an awesome combination.

Anyone talking about end of year tax-loss selling?

You have no idea how the web works.

Yea, that was basically my point - who is going to be left standing after the US defaults? Anyone want to buy ELE (extinction level event) insurance? I'll sell you as much coverage as you want, good rates too..

Who is selling CDS on US debt and what level of confidence do you have that they will actually be able to pay if the US defaults on its debts?

As the article point out, this isn't new, its existed since the 60's....and the IRS isn't the beneficiary of the money.

I think what you should be asking is can you use an HDTV as a low-end monitor also because as already pointed out even an nice HDTV has a much lower resolution than say a 20" LCD monitor. Now the opposite is true, you can use a computer monitor as a high-end TV....

I'm the farthest thing from a Mac apologist but I think Mac-lovers buy them for the OS not the hardware. Most people talk about software reliability not hardware reliability since 99% of computer problems are software related. Yes I made up that figure.

Are they hand written or is this a printout? Wondering if OCR software would work instead.

The original post was made in April, the reply calling him out (and the subsequent replies) were made today in November, more than 6 months later. Maybe better to just leave a long-dead spam thread alone (or alert moderators) rather than revive it so it gets more attention?

Even if someone had a plan I doubt anyone has the political will to do what it takes to fix it.

About a week ago when I logged into TDAmeritrade I noticed an option to download the ThinkOrSwim client I don't know if this invitation box appears for everyone when they login or what but I downloaded and installed the ToS client and have been getting free real-time futures & forex...
