I don't knock something till I try it. I have been using Emacs recently, and I like it. I was simply asking a question. I was not looking to be made fun of.

Do you know of something like this for emacs?

I have also become familiar with several languages (C, C++, C#, Java, PHP, Python, and Ruby), but when I wanted to start a big project, I realized that I only knew the basics of th…

So far I have made it through Weinstein's, Roubini's, and Taleb's talks. What I have seen is a good start towards understanding a subject that we have very little hold over right n…

The thing I am interested in the most is accuracy and precision.

I'm starting my MSFE program this fall. Since C++ is heavily used on Wall Street, I have decided to take this summer to build a significant numerical library for financial related …

This is American politics. The politicians say one thing to please the masses and do exactly the opposite. I'm not trying to be confrontational or rude. That's just the reality of …

The answer is simple. There is a huge and powerful tax lobby that doesn't want to see this happen.

It sure helps. EDIT: Do you know what secondhand embarrassment is? Go to an open mic and you are sure to experience it. I've seen some people who thought they were hilarious and we…

That question I cannot answer. I'd talk to a lawyer and an accountant concerning a question like that.

Stand-up comedy works well also. It helped me to get over my fear of speaking to large groups.

I can't help it; I have to say it. Stop swine flu and you'll make a boatload of money.

First, I am not an accountant or any other licensed individual. I used to work in banking as an analyst and trader before I went back to school. My securities licenses have since e…

The INews headline is inaccurate. They matched the street.

You don't find it ironic that you are now telling me what I should and should not do?

I understand well what is said here. With that said, if you are at work, you do your work. Also, you should not be using corporate bandwith to catch up on your own reading agenda. …

Shouldn't these people be working when they are at work?

People must think that network admins at major corporations are retarded! Besides, what is there to tweet when you're at work? "Boss took my stapler again :("

I recommend seeing someone at a bank about setting up a trust. If you are concerned with making sure that the corpus of the trust remains intact, explicitly tell the bank that as t…

Perhaps they should now create a new shirt that says, "I got suckered by tshirthell.com". That's sure to create more buzz for them.

I will add a quote from Arrested Development made by Buster: Michael: Buster? The guy who thought that the blue on the map was land? Lucille: He's had business classes. Buster: W-w…

I just registered tguts.com. The name works well for the trading social network I am building.

It's bloated writing. He tries to pass himself off as intelligent, but his rambling clearly shows this is not the case. When people use big words and obscure references, it's usual…
