The muslim population overall is far smaller than it should be considering the resources in the ME and the size of the population at the time of Mohammed. People looked into that and concluded that over the centuries they have been killing each other that much. It's what they do. I wonder...

As I age and think about these things... I'm thinking that the best thing about our country is the Bill of Rights. When I was a little guy I had the basics, good food, my mom had a huge garden and we had meat in and out of hunting season, I had a roof over head, it wasn't much at all, three br...

I'm hitting the ignore button evermore nowadays... and the meds too... life is better, those little guys with the spears, when I see them now I just say "go away little guys with spears, you're not real.. and if you turn out to be real, well I've got a gun..." Seriously, there are so many...

The terminology already has shifted from "Global Warming" to "Climate Change". They will go right ahead with their BS and then take credit for something good no matter what happens... same as Great Society [didn't fix anything], Sexual Revolution [gave us forty new diseases and less...

The words "Open Source" seem to set off religious wars.. I saw comments in the Opentick forums from upset people because it wasn't Open Source... Get over it, yeah you with the magical thinking going on.. I'm lookin' at you for a damn good reason..... you need to go get tested or something...

I was working in computers when we went from teletypes to screens. I don't recall any teletype traders but we could have programmed the thing to draw out charts.. we could draw out naked women with the thing, charts would have been doable.. not as fun, but doable... and we could have programmed...

*nix is inherently better securable by design. The protection comes in the form of what areas of the machine software is allowed to go. With Windows it's implemented with permissions and it's just a lot more vulnerable. Microsoft sucks in their efforts towards security though. They might...

Most energy solutions are fake. The last couple of decades it was hydrogen, where is that nowadays? Now it's wind, solar, etc... they will cycle through all the non-solutions until there is no more oil. Regarding solar, new batteries are being developed that are huge tanks of liquid with one...

The trend is your friend until it bends..

It seemed like he had a $10 Forex account or something and was always going for broke. He was funny, I think he said he lived in Hollywood and had a part time job or something...

There's nothing I can do to change it other than open an orphanage in Africa maybe... I can hear it now... "He was one crazy son of a bitch.. 'member the time when ..... " I ain't agonna worry about it much, there's always a few people around that don't approve no matter what....

I sort of smelled "scam" at the beginning of this thread but after a little consideration I'm revising my thinking. In industry, there is lots of retail software that comes with complete documentation and there are highly specialized packages that typically don't come with very good...

Katrina.. yeah... where the frigging Democrat state governor didn't know she had to call the Feds to get some help, where the state and /or city of New Orleans had been given the money specifically to upgrade the levees to cat 5 strength and the frigging Democrats never did it, they diverted the...

They have personalities that somewhat go with the breed. The fight game we play seems to have been educational for the dog, she learned spatial things from it I'm thinking. I think that you want to teach them that cooperation is good but not through punishment, that's pretty much what the fight...

What backtesting can't do is prove that something is not random. If you have an idea that is not from the realm of random, you can take the ball and run with it with a backtester. 99% of the stuff included with the typical software is not only random but it's very lagging... and the other 1%...

Her name is Blondie, she takes me hiking all the time. She is so unlike any dog I was ever around. When we first got her I brought her home and she was settling in, she was only a few doors down the street from the original owners... that was in the Mojave Desert where lots of dogs have a little...

I just read a book titled "The Dumbest Generation"... it's not about us old guys..

Slow responder here, sorry.. I have a little experience with Openquant, but single instrument only. The backtester is slow but you can just toss all your whole test into one big sim anneal backtest and come back in the morning... I really never had any crash problems with OQ. If I want something...

Persistence hunting is how little guys with short spears can kill a large animal. They cut it out of the herd and keep after it, not letting it eat or drink until it just is too exhausted to fight at all and they walk up and kill it. Do you ever feel like people on ET are persistence hunting...
