That's doable? I thought the RAID drives had to be identical.. Of course with no experience with RAID I'm liable to be thinking anything at any given time... I'd think that the slowest drive would set the speed if you have it set to mirror image all the time.. maybe the mirroring is a...

I have a Hotbrick.. it takes some patience to set it up but I'm an amateur and I did it... once you have your trading machine behind a whitelist firewall you will have an "aha moment".. no need to do microsoft upgrades or have any virus or spyware software.. you only open up the firewall to your...

Using this Kelly bet size simulator I can see that with loss /win of 2 requires only about a 70% win rate to be better than random... that is not counting trading costs.. http://www.hquotes.com/tradehard/simulator.html Are you always getting long first? Or are you saying that you wait for...

BB stocks have terrific moves.. I researched this years ago.. you actually won't get filled on those BB stocks though.. the rules are different, your limit order can sit there while price trades right through it, it can sit there for weeks after that actually.. the MM that is holding it doesn't...

The President can veto a bill, tell Congress what he doesn't want in it, rinse and repeat until he gets something that he likes... eventually he can tell them what he doesn't like before he even gets the bill and they can remove it... there is no need for a line item veto at all... just a...

DeFazio is a congressman [not a Senator even] from Oregon... of course he supports this, it would do nothing to his corner of the woods except piss off a few people trading out of their log cabin...

If I was the Fed, and I was having to buy nearly half of the Treasuries.. and I could see that sentiment was going away from Public sector to private sector and other governments were buying corporate bonds... I'd be tap dancing and singing some showtunes about how things are getting better...

It's quite easy really.. stop paying them, when they call up promise them payments.. rinse and repeat.. every time they call ask them if it's in collections.. if they won't say, it's in collections... at that point tell them to shove it sideways so far up their backside that it leaves them with...

I saw a very detailed list of what Obama thinks about various issues and what the typical voter thinks about those same issues.. it was amazing.. Obama is 95% out of step... that means that little by little, as his thinking is exposed, 95% of voters will find something near and dear to their...

Guys like Obama made the ghettos what they are... he's a race industry attorney.. they sue the private sector and stir up racial resent among blacks until you'd have to be nuts to hire one... then they give them welfare and tell them to keep voting for the Democrats... and the welfare doesn't...

So you saw your IQ test results and you are jealous... whatever...

I know how he felt, BO Pelosi and Company are back in Washington..
