    IRAQ: "oh! we forgot about those!"

    That isn't so far fetched.

    I would have just waited across the way from the ATM and waited until people got all their money and then rob them. That way, they get slapped for stealing and I get off -- what are they going to do, go to the police and tell them that someone robbed them of all the money they just stole from...

    oh yeah, baby. another $3,000 for my account.

    Bartering is the best form of commercial and commodity exchange. It predates most everything else and existed long before credit cards and mass commercialization was introduced. It was so cool to haggle with street vendors while I was in Manhattan. You pick it up, look at it, say, "ehh" and...

    Three possible outcomes: up, down, flat

    I think the parameters are a bit different. Statistically speaking, you could look at any one Baccarat game and say with absolutely certainty that the odds of X happening is Y. I don't think the stock market falls under the same domain, especially when you consider that it is much more...

    What I don't quite understand is how string theory fits in with our view of the universe? Does our universe contain many different strings, or is our universe just a speck of dust on a mush larger system? Also, hasn't the recent discovery that gravity moves at the speed of light shoot some...

    Isn't it funny how some people want to get rid of it while other people wish they could get it?

    IB is apparently ready to unleash API v7.0 which includes market depth for futures. I'm going to incorporate that into the next version (actually I'm getting ready to put up another version this weekend).

    The article is pretty deep stuff. Quantum Mechanics and the Theory of Relativity are apparently the two big pillars of scientific foundation that M-theory apparently is beginning to link together. Unfortunately, if M-theory is true (or something like it), then the mysteries of this universe...

    Every decade or so, a stunning breakthrough in string theory sends shock waves racing through the theoretical physics community, generating a feverish outpouring of papers and activity. This time, the Internet lines are burning up as papers keep pouring into the Los Alamos National Laboratory's...

    Go to a good party college, drink every night, get laid with as many hot girls as you can (wear a condom), try not to get caught with the weed and declare your major at the last possible moment -- and then change it 6 times until you find something you can tolerate doing until you quit to go do...

    They have a very large screen that, when you approach it, it shows a grid that bends. It is hard to explain -- I suggest you go see it if you really like Einstein. There is nothing cooler than touching a piece of glass that seperates you from his original draft of E=MC^2 by only an inch.

    Isn't it amazing how people are always so sure that "they" are right? From an individual perspective, it is always "I" that is the deep thinker -- it is always "I" that can smoke cigarettes and not be affected by statistics -- because "I" am special and unique. That isn't true, though...
