    They actually ended up using Porter's remix in one of the Slap Chop commercials. I was flipping through the channels the other day and on Vince came. :laugh:

    Password Protected pst file in Outlook 2007

    2007, so that option is gone... All right. Not a problem. I'll just make a TrueCrypt volume and house everything there. Thanks, again.

    Password Protected pst file in Outlook 2007

    There isn't an option to encrypt it anywhere, though. Do I have to encrypt the file manually outside of Outlook using TrueCrypt?

    I bought April 17.5 put and 55 call on FAZ for about $1.50 and $2.50 respectively. Don't know which way it's going. This may have been and probably is an extremely stupid trade on my part since they're both out of the money, but if it swings as wildly either way as I hope, I may end up making...

    Where do you guys buy your ink?

    Yes, and no. Power is a rate. With each successive page printed it still becomes more and more cost effective, even when taking energy into consideration, to go the laser printer route. Pages from the laser printer will come out in a fraction of the time. The inkjet printer will have more...

    Quick Math Q.

    What do you mean log(e). Is the expression a base e logarithm? If so, the answer is just 1/x. The 1/k cancels out when you use the chain rule.

    Quick Math Q.

    Unless k is a variable, this is correct. I got 1/(x ln10), which is an equivalent expression. Otherwise, it would be (k-x)/(xkln10). // Scratch that. Bad math. It would have to be a partial derivative, unless one of the variables could be expressed in terms of the other.

    Considering selling some Jan 2010 $15 puts on LUK. That stock got pummeled on Thursday. I get a $400 premium, and if the stock drops below $15, well, then I essentially buy it for $11 a share.

    Boolean algebra help

    Well, you could just express each of those expressions in their standard sum of products form. Multiply each product in the expression that's missing a term by (missing term + inverse of missing term). XZ + X'Y'Z + X'YZ' = XYZ + XY'Z + X'Y'Z + X'YZ' Choice 3, XZ + Y'Z + X'YZ' becomes...

    Took a stake in DOW, GE, and VZ. All are yielding over 5.5% in dividends alone. TEX is just getting absolutely wrecked... as is ABB. I've been holding them since 47 and 26 respectively.

    need help on calc

    Yes you can. mx - ( (x^2) * e^(2m) )/ 1000 = 0. Get x in terms of m. x = 1000m/(e^2m) Differentiate that and set it equal to 0.

    need help on calc

    At the maximum distance, y=0. So the y disappears and you have an equation x(m) that you can optimize.

    Bought it at $1.91 yesterday, set a stop loss today at 2.03, and unfortunately it filled while I took a nap. lol I may buy some tomorrow morning if I see it going up again. I'm trying to save up my day trades. Good call, though. Thanks.

    You'll find that on all Verizon phones. They're all running on the same operating system - the phone GUIs are just skinned differently on some.

    Tool: Aenima

    Nah, Intension is the one before Right in Two. It's a pretty good filler, or preface like you said. You can't really end the album though with Right in Two, so Viginiti Tres does it's job.

    I'm going to have to agree with vi edit. Definitely their strongest album. I love the track Lateralus, though, and 10,000 days has some really good tracks, coming in at a close second. It's interesting to see how their music has matured throughout the years.

    tasteless...

    It happens on both ends of the aisle. I find the use of the term "liberal" quite funny. Holds a completely different meaning outside of the states. A "liberal" here is actually far from it. And for a party that's given itself the image of being everything Bush isn't, they've given him...
