Very cool idea - will be playing around with this. A couple of questions: 1) I see you offer Options and equities - do you have fixed income products like treasuries or munis? 2) Based on the example for the option chains, it looks like you

Cool idea! When testing, using http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/994c0zb1(v=vs.110).a... as the target URL, I selected an item in the table in the "Remarks" section of the page and the resulting UR

According to the tech specs: "the Emperor will tilt backward up to 25 degrees" This doesn't strike me as quite like the dentist chair experience where you're lying back almost flat.

Heads up that it doesn't seem to work in IE11. Typed in "Chrome" and hit the button. Page refreshed, but nothing about the page changed except the text box was cleared.

With respect to your side note: As someone who swam competitively throughout high school and college, having the ability to listen to music while practicing is really nice. When you're practicing 2-3 hours a day, six days a week, it c

I found Sydney to be extremely friendly (and Australia in general). Midwest US is also quite friendly.

Great idea! Quick heads up, the SERP doesn't seem to load in IE9 (I know, I know...it's all they offer at work). All I see under the ad is "ding...)", so possibly some CSS rendering oddity going on. Email is in my pro

I've had leases with landlords where the rent includes all utilities. This amount of electricity is probably not what the landlord had in mind when writing up the lease, but could explain the lack of power costs.

Yeah, I've been lucky on my long-haul flights it seems. Different parts of life, and different things to focus on. :-) Maybe the low cost stated ($10-25) is because it's for such a short part of the flight where you get the bene

If you're trying to focus on something it is a problem. I hadn't even considered the sleep part of this, I was thinking about reading, programming, etc, all of which will be derailed by a screaming baby.

That is what he's saying with the "If I had financial backing" bit. He wants investor money in order to pay himself a salary and quit his day job, but hasn't been able to get the money yet.

Can't argue with results! I wonder if a more verbose comment saying essentially the same thing would have been upvoted as much.

I've started doing this and I can't agree more. It's extremely freeing when you realize that you don't need to be at the beck and call of your phone and email all the time. It also makes those times when your phone runs out of juice much

No worries. I think Google also has a competitor to slowcop ( https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/ ) so it could be they figured it wouldn't make any sense to try to charge.
