  2. OK, Nkhoi, I promised you profun-ditty. Here goes. Today's attachment vs. the previous one demonstrates the link between communication bandwidth and perceived sensuality (radio vs. telephone). This phenomenon is familiar in our time. A video is more exciting that a still shot. An rm is better than an mpeg. HD trumps DVD.

    But wait. This supeficial analysis ignores the crucial factor of cost. The attached 44K 20-smut-thing photo cost me about two cents from my still subscription service, and it doesn't really arouse me. But I can get an entire 1G video of the really nasty stuff I like for less than $5, often about $2 (you do the math on smuttectiveness).

    But think. Each day I download about 500M of market data (about a gig a month), and it costs me $175!

    Now you tell me that streaming market data is not the ultimate in pricey porn!

  3. This Emil guy has a major ego problem. You're boring, and no one wants to hear from a giddy profitable paper trader.
