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 the language (i.e., synatx). I had no real exposure to the vast libraries available. Once I realized this, and that was only within the past month, I decided to focus just on C and C++. This decision was driven by the fact that I am starting an MSFE program this fall and all I have read about quant work says that I should be well versed in C++. The reason I have also chosen C is because the project I am spending this summer working on is building the statistics and probability portion of a quantitative finance library. I am using two libraries as a reference (Quantlib and GSL) and one is written in C++ and the other in C. Like it has been said, I think it might be a good idea to focus on what you already know and work on improving the skills in that language.

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 now. If you can find the time to watch even one of these videos, it is well worth it.

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

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 things.

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 were actually a train wreck.

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 elapsed.

Do you have cash entering or leaving the company? Are you starting to deal with accruals? If you have answered yes to the first one but you are able to easily keep track of the inflows and outflows, I wouldn't worry about needing one right now, but I would certainly start looking for one. If you are dealing with accruals, I would think about talking to one at least right now. Business accounting can be a tricky subject when cash flows don't exactly match revenues or expenses. You'll save yourself a lot of headaches if you have someone whose business is accounting at your call.

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?
