    Broker to pay $350,000 in stock market loss after client, who drove Jaguar and lived in condo, vanishesBy Tay Shi'anNovember 23, 2008 / Source : The Electric New PaperTHEY are sometimes referred to as brokers. For one remisier, however, the word has taken an awfully literal meaning.Reason: She may soon go broke having to make up for a rogue client's losses.The client, a Malaysian woman in her 60s, had seemed financially reliable. She lived in private property. Her family gets around in a Jaguar. And she had put a US$50,000 ($76,600) deposit to begin trading.The remisier, who has been in the industry for more than five years, said: 'I thought this client was able to trade and able to pay.'But then the client lost US$227,000 after taking huge risks on the US stock market, betting on shares such as AIG and Fannie Mae.And she vanished.Now, the remisier, who is in her 30s, will have to settle the debt with her brokerage firm if the client cannot be found.That's because, under the remisier's...

    You fooled yourself, not I
    2008-06-17 00:00:00
    All along I was a mirror,double sided and my reflection you haven`t known a side of me that no one has ever seen up until now fighting and drinking kept inside hidden was a devilish side that sat waiting with a heart of stone tatooing my skin,tearing people apart and sitting alone long hours thinking I am and never was yours,my heart you took but I truly would never have been I knew from the start that it was too good to be true but still I allowed myself to care I am no ones to love nor keep my love,you have loved me.. an immortal sin It is you that used my emotional feed for your gentle heart to love and share The "stray" perhaps I was but I wait not nor pace outside your door looking for you as you wish to believe I enjoy seeing you but I can not allow myself to feel as I once did I do love you that is the truth bit you won`t see me show it or let you think I perceive that there is a love waiting for me that is kept hid I am not subjected to anything that I have not asked for de...

    Don't Be Fooled by Branding and Advertising
    2008-06-16 13:27:00
    This is really intriguing. It shows how easy it really is to get us to pay significantly more for something we think we're getting a better value for.This definitely reminds me of the 4 4 4 deal Domino's is putting out.It looks pretty good, until you notice that the pizzas really aren't that big (notice the size of the hands).This site also supports the idea, that you are, in fact, getting more bang for your buck when you order the 5 5 5 as opposed to the cheaper 4 4 4. ...

    Nasrallah's speech: Hezbollah Ruled, the West was Fooled
    2008-06-02 19:13:32
    In the next days a major battle in the War of Ideas will be unfolding worldwide and particularly through the international media. We are now witnessing a massive campaign by Hezbollah's strategic communication machine (as our Western jargon likes to describe it) to frame the outcome of the battle for Lebanon, significantly lost by the United States, the West and the forces of Democracies in the region. The main issue at hand in the Iranian funded war room is not about convincing the international...(read more)...

    Don't be fooled by the green lights

    If we're uncertain about the reliability and value of code, writing more code seems like a highly fallible and paradoxical way to resolve the uncertainty.- Michael BoltonThere is a disturbing trend in software testing. This is a trend towards redefining test to be code and testing to be a coding activity.In his book, Testing Object Oriented Systems, Robert Binder writes "Manual testing, of course, still plays a role. But testing is mainly about the development of an automated system to implement an application-specific test design." While this book contains a great deal of useful information about test design and test automation, I wholeheartedly disagree with this statement -- and I make a living developing test automation. I find Bob Martin's statements about manual testing being immoral to be very disturbing. I know that he is referring to manual scripted testing, but that's not what I hear repeated. I can also think of some scripted testing that requires thinking manual test...

    Wow, I was Fooled!

    As I’ve said before, I like using BlogRush to find new blogs.  I was running around the BlogRush network and came across whizkidsecrets.com blog [nofollow added, you’ll see].  It was a good title for an article about how Shylockblogging had been sold overnight.  You’ll notice that the article I’m talking about is actually on 45n5.com’s site. You [...]...

    Fooled You! No $500,000 for You!

    This has to be one of the greatest stories in the last week. A Florida man won half a million dollars on a scratch-off card, but he’s NOT getting the money. Apparently the card didn’t scan through the lottery machine as a “winner” and the officials down in Florida are saying that this [...]...
