    dual wan router, hotbrick

    the thing I don't like about the lb2 is that it does not do stateful packet inspection, you could get spoofed, in fact mine fails the shields up tests. It also quit working while I was configuring it and there does not seem to be a hardware reset ... so it's out of service. There are some spi...

    Quiting is for winners

    Drugs are kind of good short term sometimes :) Ok, I could call it "reverse negativity" but reverse paranoia is more striking and easier for me to relate to.. Yet further off topic: Did anybody notice that quitting is spelled wrong in the thread title??

    Traders, let's have a discussion.

    EMH is a nice way to capture the idea of feedback from all participants being factored in. It provides a framework or something that can be visualized. If there are assumptions that all the participants are informed or even interested in the actual value of a financial instrument, at least in...

    Result of a jack hershey strategy

    If you have tick data tradestation will test at the tick level. It's called look inside bar testing. If you have nothing but tick data you can build the bars in arrays in Easy language and backtest on them as well. It's been doable with Tradestation since 1999, I don't know where all the idiots...

    Quiting is for winners

    ditto. That is the reverse idea of "insanity is keeping on trying the same thing when it never works" definition. I recently discovered the idea of reverse paranoia. I like to think that everything and everybody are here to help me to learn and experience joy.. it's funny but it helps...

    Friends and family giving you shit about trading..

    My father in law died recently... Believe me, if somebody just wants you to fail, just wants you to give up your freedom and go into slavery working for some bully in some job, they will be like that until they die. That old guy was in his last two weeks of his life, in a hospital bed...

    Credit-card defaults on rise in US

    I recommend the credit card default strategy for beefing up retirement accounts for everybody. Run up the cards then retire.. not a problem, well the phone rings a couple times a day and people try to get a rise out of you but hey... I think this is one readily available strategy in the struggle...

    US Comptroller on 60 Minutes: America is facing total collapse

    Mission accomplished. America weak, broke, borders wide open, people enslaved with debt, ingnorance and poverty. Easy pickings after that. Give these politicians enough time and they can do anything.

    Vote Ron Paul

    You can enjoy constitutional rights if you are willing to fight every bureaucracy with it's hand out. Excess fines are unconstitutional but they are everywhere, gun confiscation is illegal, you have to join the NRA for that one, freedom of speech is perfectly fine unless you are religious... I...

    Red moon rising!!!

    The moon was spectacular last night in the desert in So Calif. I checked it around 1:30 maybe 2:00 am, just spectacular, huge, full moon. I fell asleep and missed the rest of it. I should have set up the telescope, it's a piece of junk but the moon looks great through it. I viewed a full moon...

    Owen Wilson Suicide Attempt

    Suicide can be a spiritual attack. I went to a new agey booksigning once, on the way to the car I had an overwhelming desire to die, it was just massive, sudden, and overwhelming. Drugs might have pushed me over the edge at that point, say I was addicted to Vicodin or something and my brain was...
