"When shoppers see persistent price declines, they hold out on buying things." and yet I keep buying computers... I don't think I agree with this statement (unless there is massive deflation).

If that is the case, it would create a market inefficiency which some other market participant could come along and exploit (anticipate the TAs moves and act preemptively). Your statement is basically saying there is no one out there smart

Yes, I use it extensively and it's good. But the Microsoft runtime is awesome. Much faster and very stable. I do a lot of number crunching (distributed on a small cluster) and don't want to use Windows in this scenario for various

This is all very nice, but what would make me truly excited is if they released their runtime for linux ... yeah, it's just a dream. would be a lot of work I expect and they wouldn't want to even if it was easy.

I trialed F# a while back. Something I certainly noticed was not having as much help from the IDE (no resharper). The lambda notation also annoyed me (by comparison to C#). Yeah, I know it's no big deal and I understand the trade-offs

I actually constructed some simple trading algorithms based on the CAPS data and back-tested them. I didn't find anything to exploit... didn't put that much work into it, but did enough to convince myself that following "nobo

I doubt links from any of these sites would be considered bad by the search engines (i.e. you wouldn't get penalized). If the link they provide is rel nofollow, or a 302 redirect - which they often are - they aren't going to help
