The best you can do is make a psuedo-ai that can make guesses based on data. And again, no one's made a computer good enough at guessing that it makes money.

Hahahahahahahahahaha. PLEASE keep thinking that. How do you think companies like D.E. Shaw & Co. exist? Not to mention Goldman Sachs, etc.

The reason I get a paycheck twice is month, in part, is because you can create efficient algorithms to make money in financial markets. But please don't let that dissuade you from your obviously very informed opinion.

For them, technology dept is nothing but a big expenditure, and they treat techies like it.

Except Goldman Sachs. No, I'm serious. Yes, I work there. Goldman is a technology company that happens to do business. If you like smaller companies, DE Shaw & Co. is the place to be in Manhattan as far as technology oriented financial companies go. Good luck getting in.

Goldman Sachs

The CIO has a BA in History. That's *IT*. In fact, I flat out heard him say "if you want to stay at Goldman Sachs, you don't need an MBA. If you want to move elsewhere, it might be useful."

Here is the original report from the investment firm gs:

Most of the stuff on aging and energy is from public institutions as well. Not much new or interesting here.

So your job got shipped to shithole country Y too ?

Read this and you will feel more enlightened.

When enraged, chant 'Om' and you will feel better

It is also pointless because the meta keyword checking doesn't recognise Russian. If I do a search on say, Google for "devochki", the latinised version of the Russian word for Girls, I can find some very interesting and explicit, which pass effortlessly through the filter.

Another well-known US financial institution filter out yahoo and google amongst others to get around caching. I don't know what their employees do for web searches.

The Pr0n business is a big one in Germany, please remember that some of these companies are listed at the exchange and have an investor relations page. Make a wrong turn near a major railway station and it is hard to avoid red-light areas.

It has already been mentioned in another article about how useless national firewalls are and how easy it is to circumvent, particularly when they only run part-time as is proposed here.

Also, has enyone told these idiots about http tunneling?

Note that telephone sex lines are available 24Hrs the companies that run them split their take with the provider, usually Deutsche Telekom. Maybe those companies have been taking too much of a hit in their profits from unlimited access via the Internet? Ask not where the campaign contributions have come from?

According to the assistant manager for IPOs at one of the main offices (anonymous to protect the innocent) of Goldman Sachs (the lead underwriter for the RedHat IPO), they have a minimum opening balance for new investment accounts of US$5,000,000. To be eligible for IPOs, Goldman Sachs also require you to have given them a discretionary mandate for making investment decisions and to have held an investment account with them for at least 4 months. In his words, "we do not need to attract customers to IPOs." This information was accurate on Monday 7th June 1999.
