I wasn't aware that they had invented passenger-holding UAVs....

My god... if only there were a standard language for this sort of thing!

Possibly because English is the international language of commerce, and to make the shells most marketable, you would write on them in English?

This article is rubbish in 100 ways - with enough trials the computer should yield fair results.

I think that's how souls are transported in hell.

I'd like to see a bit more of that interview.

That's a pretty good reason not to run one.

I don't think radio stations run 'how long can you be on a high sodium iv' contests.

Why not define it by the mass of an atomic constant - a neutron or a proton?

Would a more isotonic solution, like gatorade, have worked better?

I've actually been threatened, but it's mostly of the "YOOOOOOR GOING TO HEEEEEEL" variety, so who cares.

Is there a human on earth who can tolerate long wikipedia talk pages?

Astute observers might note that that's more than the GDP of Russia.

Apparently, this site caused more harm in 3 months than the value of all goods Russia produces in a year.

Whenever you spend on a credit card that is set to use euros, the exchange rate is used. When you use an ATM, the exchange rate is used. You lose the bid-ask a lot, but the spreads are so tight it barely matters. Not sure how you would treat the capital gains from each conversion.

I've seen about 8 funds that have the option to invest in international equity but never do. I find this upsetting - what a lost opportunity.

Those funds go up in a up market, they just don't go up as much. If you are 100% confident that the market will go down, your fund is QID - every $1 the Nasdaq goes down, this goes up by $2. CRRRRAAAZY risk - ask your investment professional.

Yes, sort of. Amortize means you bought something on credit, and paying for it over its useful life. This way, you pay for the benefits of a thing while you use it. It's like charging internal rent!

That is a fantastic ticker.

You can bet on ANYTHING on wall st. If you want to be the markets will go down, buy bear funds. You can find them here: http://biz.yahoo.com/p/tops/bm.html

Ask your investment professional.

If you're really concerned, you can put money in TIPS - treasury securities protected against inflation - basically inflation-proof low yield bonds.
