01[14:43] {@Threei}  BC Teachers Vote Today on Whether to Approve a Tentative Deal

01[14:43] {@Threei}  many demand to say no since "it doesn't cover inflation rate"
[14:43] {RonS} ...the whole province been on strike, not just Victoria?
01[14:44] {@Threei}  if they reject the deal, I expect them to be lynched
01[14:44] {@Threei}  yes ron
01[14:44] {@Threei}  come on nemo, he is our Trotskyite
[14:44] {nemo} gotta' get the hammer eventually

01[14:48] {@Threei}  no, that was another remark
01[14:48] {@Threei}  "two weeks to take Kiev"
[14:48] {nemo} AOL nuts
[14:48] {cosmo} I saw some in San Diego once
01[14:48] {@Threei}  Mr Putin's alleged threat bears similarities to remarks he made to Jose Manuel Barroso, the president of the European Commission, in which he warned: "If I want to, I can take Kiev in two weeks".

[15:19] {nemo} Chinese hackers
01[15:20] {@Threei}  good: I received an acess to the server so I will be able to restore the room much faster, since bulk of time was to get them to fix it, with time difference etc
01[15:20] {@Threei}  should take minutes now instead of hours, in cases when it's a hiccup and not complete shutdown
01[15:21] {@Threei}  and majority cases were just hiccups
01[15:22] {@Threei}  but you are right about hackers... website and e-mail was down yesterday for good two hours, massive DOS attack on hosting company
01[15:23] {@Threei}  and ese never went anywhere, he just wasn't able to be in the room with these pickets
01[15:24] {@Threei}  and don't pick on him... think about it: being unionized teacher, musician and married to unionized nurse, he had no chance {G}
[15:25] {nemo} they shoot horses, don't they?
01[15:25] {@Threei}  lol
[15:27] {nathan} gents have fun!
01[15:27] {@Threei}  think ese is bad? here is approximation of a dialog I had with a guy who signed up for a trial and spent in the room about 5 minutes:

01[15:27] {@Threei}  he: where is trading room?
01[15:27] {@Threei}  I: you were right in it
01[15:28] {@Threei}  he: no, you misunderstand. That was chat room. I am asking about trading room
01[15:28] {@Threei}  I: that was trading chat room
01[15:28] {@Threei}  he: why there was no trading then?
01[15:28] {@Threei}  I: here is quote, a call on FB
01[15:28] {@Threei}  you saw it? it wasn't trading??
01[15:29] {@Threei}  he: no, it was something like words. Where was trading?
01[15:29] {@Threei}  to make story short,
01[15:29] {@Threei}  he was looking at his brand new trading software expecting our call to materialize in it
01[15:29] {@Threei}  get it?
01[15:30] {@Threei}  he thought when he connects trading room, our calls will start getting executed in his account
[15:30] {troub} and it doesn't?
01[15:30] {@Threei}  of course it does, he just needed platinum membership :)
[15:31] {_KIKESAN} that's incredible!!

01[15:33] {@Threei}  unless you want 3-4 cents scalp, I don't see the point
01[15:33] {@Threei}  lol ron
[15:34] {_KIKESAN} ok
[15:37] {_KIKESAN} when you say too narrow, what does it mean?
01[15:37] {@Threei}  range in which it moves
01[15:38] {@Threei}  sits for hoirs within 10 cents
01[15:38] {@Threei}  how much of a move can you expect from it
[15:38] {_KIKESAN} without enough volatility?
