Comment Re:Fix 'delayed prices' scam (Score 1) 476

IMHO, the biggest problem with the stock markets is delayed quotes. The big guys have the real time prices, the small guys have a fake price, from 20 minutes ago. This is a big problem with European stock exchanges. How can you have a market if you're lying to people about the current prices?!

Of course you can't trade a profit on delayed prices. But, why do you have to trade on delayed prices as 'the little guy'?

Places like MoneyAM and ADVFN have been providing real-time prices for either free, or £5/month, since 1999 (ADVFN) and 2002 (MoneyAM).

All this meant was that the bosses required us to lie on the time tracking system, and not record the 20-40 extra hours we were putting in every week.

Sounds like Citibank. Had to log every hour worked, to a maximum of 8 hours a day (you'd get a bollocking if you tried logging more). We'd be in 7am -> 7pm (and not allowed a lunch break) but still only be able to log 8 hours. I quit after 2 months.

Of course, if I ever need an MRI, I'll need them taken out.

Not necessarily:

'However, we now know of a few people who have the magnets have gone through MRIs and this did not happen. One person reported that the magnet just vibrated very strongly. Another person reported that the techs shielded his hand, as they would with someone who had shrapnel or other implants.'

Seconded.

As it's DNS based routing (requests for US-centric services get proxied via their US servers), not *all* your traffic goes via the VPN, so if you happen to have 100M cable to your house, you're not throttled by the limitations of routing everything via the VPN's bandwidth. And, as titten says, it enables it across all devices on your network (assuming you configure your router to use their DNS servers), not just the VPN initator; it 'just works'.
