Interesting, I didn't know about the pattern day trader restrictions or maintenance margins. Then again I rarely trade US equities.

I still don't get it. How can you possibly end up trading on margin only with long positions and no borrowing or leveraging? If you go short, of course I see how that can happen.

Interestingly, in very few cases it does affect the prices directly, such as in the 2010 flash crash, when some equities traded for as low as one cent and as high as $100,000.

This is a horrible tragedy, but it's not like the movie is to blame.

Rottentomatoes.com contains 200-odd reviews (mostly positive), quite a few of them posted after the shooting. Another question, of course, is whether a movie review belongs on Slashdot's front page, and not even on the Idle section.

Three.co.uk does offer unlimited plans. Not that cheap - £15 month, or £25/month with tethering allowed (amusingly, their tethering block doesn't work when you tether to Linux), but you get more than those minutes and texts. One thing that's an issue is that, although the coverage is very extensive, it is terrible indoors when not close to a window - especially in basements.

Stop doing that, you're wearing out the transmission.

About as likely to have happened as Earth to be 6000 years old.

That said, he does sound like one cool revolutionary type; may have been interesting to meet.

Hm. No it isn't.

They hope to make money not just from the news, but also from the editorial, analysis and opinion pieces.
