    Nothing weird with trying to find a good keyboard imho.

    It doesn't.

    IRC is the most important protocol.

    Port 27500 is the standard!

    But as is we use TCP over IP and obviously the OP thought about protocols way up there.

    Most popular protocol? What ever happened to TCP?

    What happened to IP?

    See what I did there?

    So damn silly. Fuck them.

  11. Re:It's about prices. on Computer Trading and Dark Pools · · Score: 1

    What says your retirement funds isn't using the same markets?

    Whatever they are working as they should or not I don't know but I guess they should.

    In general if you yourself only buy and sell small volumes and do your purchases or sells very rarely I don't really see why you should bother all that much about how the market works. Does it really matter that much that HFT exist if you're happy with the price and keep the stock for years?

  12. Re:It's about prices. on Computer Trading and Dark Pools · · Score: 1

    It's still demand and supply. The stuff is still bought and sold.

    It's just that if the order can't be filled immediately at a similar price it's filled in a longer time frame without no-one getting to know about the big order and hence changing their prices / try to benefit from this short term interest in the stock.

    I assume splitting the orders into many small ones and purchase through the day would have the same effect? Why one or the other alternative isn't used I don't know. Maybe it's too obvious that XYZ has bought this and that many stocks this day.

  13. Re:Just rename everything on Disney's Titling Problem With Its Star Wars Movies · · Score: 1

    "Camel-frog guy and laser sabers" is my suggestion.

    I don't know the Star wars saga good enough but maybe:

    "Camel-frog guy and the creation of the Israeli state" or something such would work to. Conflict and the princess involved somehow.

    This, unfortunately, is a large part of why the world is the way it is.

    Yeah mean why unrestricted people in some countries is a problem for others? (Guess those people will fail the equals part though.)

    Or that those are able to exist because they aren't equals with everyone else? Just as governments, dictators, some military and so on?

    Today? Well, you either Google it or look it up on Wikipedia. You'll have your answer in minutes and you can then get on and apply that knowledge. Now, tell me how that is NOT progress?

    But please also think off how it empowers people, bring freedom, true information, equal rights and all other sorts of nasty things to people.

    Someone need to restrict them. What would happen with authority and power if everyone was equals? The horror.

    I think it's sad Assange doesn't feel safe here and what we rather than Iceland isn't the place where you want to be in the Snowden case.

    Though maybe we're not that far appart. But still.

    More freedom please, not less.

    Maybe the government need to think about some of the positive consequences which can come from that to.

    Yeah, if ran by for instance the Pirate Bay people or Bahnhof I would assume they would go pretty far to not bend over.

    Make me wonder what happened to the stuff made by some chick which made it possible to run OS X things on whatever open-source product it was (I don't remember whatever it was Darwin or something else.)

    I actually don't remember many details at all.

    Would be pretty weird if the NSA didn't spied on anyone ..
    Just interesting to know how much or little if it there is.

    We've all heard the old Echelon talk and I guess many of us has typed things just to make it react if it exist :D, does that mean I'm not welcome to the US any more? :/. I'm actually no terrorist! Honestly! I don't even have a beard :/, just somewhat unshaved/trimmed.

    Was this NSA stuff not mentioned in the stats Google posted even before telling how many requests they got from different states (or whatever to call them/it)?

    Just telnet into the webserver, get a pen and paper or editor for notes and get going.

    At least it will be easier to make a telnet-like client yourself than a web browser.
