The total sense of (near-field) freedom was definitely what always attracted me to trading. Best risk-reward profession ... it definitely depends on what you see as rewards. Some see happiness as the ultimate reward, while others count money. One thing is for sure, it's hard to find happiness...

Neither knowledge of the science of linguistics nor knowledge of ancient history of languages are implied by knowledge of religion. You might try to redefine the concept of religion to include every knowledge in the universe though ... hehe. Like you said - in the deist mind - everything comes...

HAHAHAHAHAHA You realize that you are saying that my statement is " P hence Q " , and therefore you say that necessarily follows " not P hence not Q " ... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denying_the_antecedent I took model theory at university and do like logics a lot - I'm a...

Hehe, a lot of new young traders have made fortunes on Bovespa and BM&F the last few years. But considering normal brazilian wages, I would rather be in Brazil on a prolonged vacation and enjoy all the fruits you like to get you hands on. :D

The short answer to the topic is in my opinion that science should make all religion obsolete. However, as we all know is very obvious - learning religion is A LOT easier than learning science. Traditionally in older times, old women would try to hold their status in a family by talking about...

Some very good points presented throughout this thread. A comment on "modern websites", though. Some of these sites have turned into more social networking sites - and lets face it - that is the venue for the future. However, none have found the perfect balance between ease of use, great...

Hehe, but we do see things like that on TV ... "Mars Attacks!" etc. I do agree that religion is a tough nut to crack - and probably the most significant change ahead for human kind. Getting the basic building blocks for creating basic cells have been completed using chemicals and UV lighting...

Yes, it is easier to get started with both C# and Java - or scripting languages like pointed out too. However - one thing I think we can all agree on - knowing several languages is something we all appreciate, and it makes us adapt better approaches to various problems - as long as we can...

Bruce Eckel, Thinking in C++ 2nd edition ... http://www.mindview.net/Books/TICPP/ThinkingInCPP2e.html Good luck. ;)

True about what will happen to this union - although it shows the will to do something. Mercosul is shot with the sabotaging between Brazil and Argentina too. Brazil doesn't freely accept vehicles assembled in Argentina but wants to expand their own cheap brazilian produced vehicles down south...

South america, tt's true that each of the south american countries have heaps of domestic problems they need to address. However, they can find strength in standing together - especially wrt to coordinated energy politics and defense - like I pointed out earlier. That could gradually help them...

I like to stay in São Paulo and the northeastern region. São Paulo has everything I could want, while it's nice to relax in the northeast.

Haha, I live in Brazil and you don't. Of course there are smart people in Brazil - and even lots of billionaires and other successful people. The country is huge and has a large population. But on average, the schooling system is completely shot - and student results are one of the best...

The upcoming Firefox 3 scheduled for general release in mid-june is supposed to have fixed most of the memory hogging issues. There is also a version 3.1 scheduled for later this year which will take care of most things not being completed for the initial 3.0 release. There are several...

... let Benny Lava sing about buns and more to cheer up your day: http://youtube.com/watch?v=ZA1NoOOoaNw And then some ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bLpROhIg9eA Sure, this could be called mean - but hey, just take it for the good fun it's made to be. It will surely bring a smile to...

From a security standpoint Firefox is really good. It also adheres to standards which is something that Internet Explorer has managed to botch up royally and they need to insert cues for how it's different IE versions should handle web-pages. I develop web-pages periodically, and there is...

So, the facts are that you are 51 yo, no meaningful relationship at the moment and feel like a failure because you have not coped with the stress of trading while getting negative feedback from people around you. At 51 yo you need to think about the days when maybe your health does not permit...

The sentiment of panic is the main contributor to the rising oil prices. The panic has set in because the markets are not comfortable with the ongoing change in dynamics and wealth distribution (slowly) propagating worldwide.

The only way to stop the shift in fortunes is a really devastating war in the growth regions. If a conflict between India and China started, or at least India and Pakistan with Kashmir being one of the most dangerous areas in the world - then things would start to change rapidly. Sad, but true -...

There are several families of programming languages, where each have their strengths and weaknesses. There are also followers and "camps" for the languages where emotions and discussions sometimes overflows with activity. One thread of languages is the C, C++ and then a a lot of variations...
